Dean Seong-Gyu Ko’s Team at the College of Korean Medicine Publishes in Top Nature Portfolio Journal
Identifying a New Signaling Axis for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Growth
Leveraging the College of Korean Medicine’s Leading Research Center Pipeline to Suggest Potential New Targets for Diagnosis and Treatment
A research team at the Center for Herb-based Cancer Research, led by Dean Seong-Gyu Ko of the College of Korean Medicine, has identified a new molecular mechanism—the GPR54-DDC axis—that supports the growth and survival of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common type of lung cancer. Through preclinical models, the team confirmed that the receptor protein GPR54 (KISS1R) promotes tumor growth by regulating the expression of Dopa Decarboxylase (DDC) and the energy metabolism of cancer cells.
The findings were published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy (Impact Factor: 52.7), a prestigious journal within the Nature Portfolio. (Link to paper) This study is highly significant as it provides a unified explanation of how cancer cell signaling, energy metabolism, and tumor proliferation are interconnected through a single molecular axis.2026-04-06
