タイトル Claudin-4: a potential therapeutic target in chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer.
ジャーナル Anticancer Res
Abstract BACKGROUND:Claudin-4, a component of the tight junction, plays an important role in tumorigenesis and metastasis of ovarian cancer, but its role in platinum resistance has not been elucidated.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:Claudin-4 expression in ovarian cancer cells was inhibited and the changes in cisplatin sensitivity were examined. Fluorescence-labeled cisplatin was used to examine whether inhibition of claudin-4 changed the cellular accumulation of cisplatin. Claudin-4 expression in ovarian cancer tissue resected from the patients surgically was evaluated immunohistochemically.
RESULTS:Suppression of claudin-4 resulted in a significant increase of cisplatin sensitivity and cellular accumulation of fluorescence-labeled cisplatin. Claudin-4 expression was significantly greater in ovarian cancer tissue from chemoresistant patients compared to chemosensitive patients. The overall survival was significantly shorter for claudin-4-positive than claudin-4-negative cases.
CONCLUSION:These data suggest that claudin-4 contributes to platinum resistance in ovarian cancer and may be a potential target in the treatment of platinum-resistant tumors.
