| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Aim of this study is to clarify the role of autophagy in malignant mesothelioma. ① The expression level of LC3 was higher in mesothelioma cell lines compared with nomal mesothelial cells and immortalized mesothelial cell line. ② When we used GFP-LC3 expression mesothelioma cell lines to observe autophagy, autophagy were observed in mesothelioma cell lines by culture of normal medium. GFP-LC3 were increased in mesothelioma cell lines by culture of starvation medium. ③ Autophagy inhibitors suppressed autophagy and cell proliferation in mesothelioma cells.
These results suggest that mesothelioma cells are constantly activated autophagy and related to cell proliferation.
