Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The expression of ZC3H12A/MCPIP in airway epithelial cells was induced by stimulation with IL-17 and TNF-α. Co-stimulation with both IL-17 and TNF-α enhanced the expression of it, synergisticcaly. ZC3H12A/MCPIP may affect some of the intracellular signaling pathway associated with airway inflammation in airway epithelial cells. The ZC3H12A/MCPIP may have important roles and function in the airway inflammatory disease.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
慢性の気道炎症性疾患における炎症性病態の制御に向けて、吸入療法による治療targetとなり得る気道上皮細胞に着目し、細胞内でのZC3H12A/MCPIPの発現や機能について検討した。気道上皮細胞内のZC3H12A/MCPIPは、炎症性病態の条件で誘導され、また免疫調整因子として細胞内のsignaling pathwayに影響している可能性がある。 気道炎症性疾患の治療targetの候補として、今後、更なる検討が必要な状況であると考える。
