METHOD FOR IDENTIFICATION OF ONCOGENE, METHOD FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF CELL CAPABLE OF EXPRESSING ONCOGENE, AND METHOD FOR SCREENING FOR ONCOGENE-TARGETING SUBSTANCE

摘要

The present invention provides a methodology that can develop a more excellent anti-cancer drug than conventional ones for various cancers. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for establishing an artificial cell, comprising treating a cancer cell with an expression vector for a foreign oncogene and then culturing the cancer cell treated with the expression vector under a condition which inhibits an expression or function of an oncogene that is inherent to the cancer cell, and an established artificial cell; a method of screening an anti-cancer drug, comprising evaluating whether or not a test substance inhibits a proliferation of the artificial cell; as well as a method for identifying an oncogene, comprising treating a cancer cell with an expression vector for a test gene and then culturing the cancer cell treated with the expression vector under a condition which inhibits an expression or function of an oncogene that is inherent to the cancer cell.
