Release date: 2018-06-28 According to a report by the Kyodo News Agency on June 20, a research team of the Japanese Shiga Medical University professor Fan Tianjiu (Molecular Pathology Biochemistry) released a message on the 19th that a protein called "EMP1" has been discovered to promote cancer metastasis. Researchers believe that if the amount of EMP1 can be grasped, it will become a marker of whether cancer is easy to metastasize. If substances that inhibit its activity are found, it is possible to develop new agents that prevent cancer from spreading or spreading around. The results have been published in the electronic version of the international professional magazine. The team analyzed the genes that play a role in cancer cells in the early stages of metastasis, and found that genes that produce EMP1 are active on the cell surface. The researchers produced prostate cancer cells that produced large amounts of EMP1. After transplanting the cancer cells into the prostate of the experimental mice, the cancer metastasized to the lymph and lungs. In contrast, no metastasis was found in the transplantation of prostate cancer cells that did not substantially produce EMP1. This leads to the conclusion that EMP1 is closely related to metastasis. In addition, the researchers also found that EMP1 on the surface of cancer cells binds to other proteins in cancer cells, improves cell metastasis, and promotes cancer metastasis. Fan Tian believes that the deaths caused by cancer are mostly caused by metastasis, indicating that "it is hoped to reduce the death caused by cancer by inhibiting metastasis."
