Research Abstract

細胞内情報伝達系のmitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)はERK、JNK、p38MAPKがあり、細胞増殖因子、サイトカイン、機械的刺激などで活性化され、細胞の肥大、増殖、分化、アポトーシス、遺伝子発現制御などに関係する。我々の検討では、ラットの心筋梗塞の心筋MAPKは、ERK、JNK、p38MAPKのすべてが、梗塞部位と非梗塞部位の両方で活性亢進が認められた。この結果より心筋でのMAPKの活性化が心筋梗塞後心臓リモデリングに関与していると考えられた。さらに、JNKの下流に位置するc-Junのdominant negative mutantをアデノウイルスベクターをもちいて培養心筋細胞に遺伝子導入し、シグナルを抑制することによりエンドセリンやフェニレフリンによる心筋肥大を検討した。その結果、c-Junのdominant negative mutantは転写因子activator protein-1(AP-1)の活性化を抑制し、さらにcell sizeの増大、タンパク合成促進、ANP、BNPのmRNA発現亢進を抑制した。このことより、JNKの下流のc-Junを抑制することで、AP-1の転写活性を阻害し、生体でも心筋細胞肥大を抑制できる可能性があることが判明した。又、ACE阻害薬、アンギオテンシンI型受容体拮抗薬はJNK、AP-1の活性を阻害し心筋梗塞後心臓リモデリングの抑制に関与していると考えられた。
