  • Secretory Granules and Granulogenic Factors as a Target for Cancer Treatment
    Publication number: 20110256633
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for screening a cancer therapeutic agent, comprising the steps of: (a) contacting a test substance of interest with a cell containing a granulogenic factor-encoding nucleotide sequence; and (b) analyzing expression of the granulogenic factor or production of secretory granules, wherein the test substance is determined as the cancer therapeutic agent where it inhibits the expression of the granulogenic factor or the production of secretory granules. In the present invention, the expression of the granulogenic factor contributes to induction of secretory granule formation in non-secretory cells, and inhibition of the granulogenic factor expression leads to inhibition of secretory granule formation in secretory cells.
