Outline of Final Research Achievements

Mice deficient in the function of major histocompatibility complex antigen class I (MHC-I) showed a human attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder-like phenotype, such as hyperactivity, motor impulsiveness, and inattention. In addition, expression of nucleus accumbens dopamine 1 receptor (D1R) was increased in MHC-I deficient mice. Administration of methylphenidate, a treatment for ADHD, to these mice ameliorated all symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsiveness and attention disorders. Furthermore, c-Fos expression of neurons with D1R in nucleus accumbens was significantly suppressed by methylphenidate.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

MHC-I機能欠損マウスは、動物モデルとして、表面的妥当性、予測的妥当性、および構成的妥当性の3つの基準を概ね満たしており、長い間不明のままにあるADHDの病態メカニズムの解明に一歩近づくことが期待できる。
