 note = {Mesothelioma is a highly aggressive tumor caused by asbestos exposure. Radiotherapy alone cannot effectively prolong the survival of mesothelioma patients. To improve the therapeutic efficacy, a novel molecular-targeted radiosensitizing agent is needed to enhance radiosensitivity of mesothelioma cells. We previously reported that ZDHHC8 knockdown reduced cell survival and induced imperfect G2/M checkpoint after X-irradiation. In this study, we analyzed the effect of ZDHHC8 knockdown on irradiated mesothelioma cells and assessed the therapeutic efficacy in a mesothelioma mouse model. In mesothelioma cells, ZDHHC8 knockdown significantly reduced cell survival after irradiation, induced the imperfect G2/M checkpoint, and increased the number of cells with micronuclei and apoptosis. In the mouse model, the combined treatment with ZDHHC8 siRNA and irradiation significantly suppressed tumor growth and increased apoptosis, whereas ZDHHC8 siRNA alone did not. These results suggest that ZDHHC8 knockdown enhanced radiation-induced chromosomal instability and cell death through the induction of defective G2/M checkpoint, and has the potential to improve the radiotherapy of mesothelioma., 第70回日本癌学会学術総会},
