Research Abstract

以下のような研究成果を得た。
(1) 細胞膜受容体のリガンド結合ドメインと機能ドメインの解析:PGE受容体では、EP3のC末端鎖と第7膜貫通領域のそれぞれにG蛋白活性化ドメインを(市川)、また、IP/DPの細胞外領域と第1,3,4膜貫通領域のそれぞれに、PGの5員環構造と側鎖構造を認識するドメインを同定した(牛首)。PGの生体作用を検索するため、7種類のPG受容体の遺伝子欠損マウスを作製し、フェノタイプを解析中である(市川・牛首)。PGI合成酵素の遺伝子欠損マウスは強度の腎障害を起こすことを見出した(田辺)。
(2)orphanの細胞膜受容体に対するリガンドの解析:オピオイド受容体/nociceptin受容体の段階的な点変異キメラ受容体を用いたorphan受容体のリカンド探索系を(佐藤)、また、ムスカリン受容体m1-m5サブタイプの選択的なアゴニスト、及びアゴニスト作用を促進するアロステリックリガンドの評価系を確立した(芳賀)。
(3) インターロイキン2(IL-2)受容体の細胞増殖シグナル:Jak PTKsの下流でのシグナル伝達にStat経路とは別の.Pyk2経路を同定し、それらの情報伝達を介するリンパ球分化、及び増殖シグナルの経路を解明した(藤井・宮崎)。
(4) ミッドカイン・ベイシジンの生理機能:ミッドカインは細胞のトランスフォーム能、海馬歯状回の発達、新生内膜形成に、一方、ベイシジンは両性の生殖生理、特に妊娠の必須因子であることを発見した。また、ベイシジンには記憶学習、匂いに対する反応性等の機能的神経ネットワーク形成作用のあることが判明した(門松)。
(5) 自己免疫性脳脊髄炎の調節:本疾患のモデルマウスを用い、疾患の標的相ではNK細胞が、また、誘導相ではNKT細胞が関与していることを見出し、両細胞の働きを制御する薬物を合成した(田平)。
