In particular, they found that transcriptional activation of human MDR1 gene by anticancer agents, radiation and other environmental stimuli is specifically mediated through Y-box binding protein-1 (YB-1) in human cancer cells, suggesting that MDR1 gene is an SOS gene that is highly susceptible to anticancer treatments. Moreover, he developed various angiogenesis model systems in vivo as well as in vitro to study how tumor angiogenesis is induced in collaboration with Dr Mayumi Ono (Kyushu University) and Dr Yasufumi Sato (Tohoku University). Dr Kuwano then moved to Graduate School of Medical Sciences Kyushu University (1993-2003) as professor and Dr Michihiko Kuwano is professor and director at Research chairman. He continued to look for molecular targets that Center for Innovative Cancer Therapy at Kurume University, could be useful in development of potent therapeutic Kurume, Fukuoka, Japan. At present, his focus is on the strategies against human cancer. Dr Kuwano and his establishment of molecular targets that could be closely colleagues first succeeded in isolating a human multidrug associated with drug resistance and other malignant resistance-related protein 2 (MRP2)/ABCC2 and MRP3/ characteristics in cancer cells and their micro-environments ABCC3, and identified ABCC2 gene as responsible for a in tumor stroma. These molecular targets will be intrinsically hereditary familiar hepatic jaundice, Dubin-Johnson important to development of novel and useful therapeutic syndrome. Moreover, they presented paracrine and autocrine strategies that could be great help for cancer patients. control of angiogenesis in response to inflammatory Dr Kuwano graduated from Kyushu University School cytokines at molecular basis, indicating a model that of Medicine (M.D.) in 1964.

He received his Ph.D. Currently, Dr Kuwano continues his translational on genetics on ribosomes by analysis of bacterial antibiotics- research on the molecular targets discovered to apply this resistant mutants at Medical Institute of Bioregulation, Kyushu knowledge to novel and potent therapeutic strategies for University (Professor Hideya Endo). Based on this molecular cancer patients, at Kurume University as Professor (2003- biology study with bacterial mutants, he further continued present). Dr Kuwano has published almost 400 peer-viewed bacterial molecular biology research on protein synthesis and original research articles, and is now focused on two unique mRNA degradation during postdoctoral fellowship at anticancer research fields of intrinsic importance. 1) How to Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Washington develop scientific evidence-based therapeutic strategy by University School of Medicine (St. Louis) (Professor David YB-1 in various human malignancies.

This suggests that An important discovery was the determination of a gene YB-1 is a global drug resistance-related molecular target.

  • University of Tsukuba at a Glance
    Maps and Data University of Tsukuba At a Glance 2019 Academic Year (Apr. 1 - Mar. 31) 1 HISTORY & CREST & SLOGAN ■ History Since its inception in Tsukuba Science City in 1973, the University of Tsukuba has offered a comprehensive curriculum of education, covering everything from literature and science to fine arts and physical education. Although the university’s roots stretch back much further than 40 years; its origins lie in the Normal School, the first of its kind in Japan, established in 1872 on the former site of Shoheizaka Gakumonjo. The school was renamed several times over the years, eventually becoming Tokyo Higher Normal School before incorporating four institutions—Tokyo Higher Normal School, Tokyo University of Literature and Science, Tokyo College of Physical Education, and Tokyo College of Agricultural Education—in 1949 to become the Tokyo University of Education, the forerunner to today’s University of Tsukuba. ■ Crest The University of Tsukuba’s “five-and-three paulownia” crest derives from the emblem adopted by Tokyo Higher Normal School students in 1903 for their school badge, which was inherited by the Tokyo University of Education in 1949. Later, in 1974, the University Council officially approved the crest as the school insignia of the University of Tsukuba. The “five-and-three paulownia” design is based on a traditional Japanese motif, but brings a unique variation to the classic style: the University of Tsukuba crest is different because only the outline of the leaves is depicted. The color of the crest is CLASSIC PURPLE, the official color of the University of Tsukuba. ■ Slogan (Japanese) 開かれた未来へ。 Since its inception, the University of Tsukuba’s philosophy has been one of openness as we seek to forge a better future through education, research, and all other aspects of academia.
