Outline of Final Research Achievements

In experiments conducted without HGF treatment, cell proliferation increased under 2% O2, compared to that observed with cells grown under 20% O2. Under hypoxic condition, HGF treatment significantly increased cell proliferation at culture days 5 and 7, compared to that observed in no-HGF treatment control cells. In addition, PD98059 significantly inhibited cell activity at culture days 5 and 7, compared to that observed in HGF treatment control cells under 2% O2. HIF-1α expression was induced by hypoxic stimulation and further enhanced by HGF. PD98059 reduced pERK expression in NP cells, and suppressed HIF-1α expression which is enhanced by hypoxia and HGF.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

今回の結果から、髄核細胞において、低酸素刺激およびHGF投与がHIF-1αを介して細胞増殖を促進し、その経路にMAPK経路が関与していることが明らかになった。
近年、髄核細胞におけるHIF-1α発現調節にヒストン脱アセチル化酵素やヒートショックプロテイン70、成長因子であるCCN2などが関与していることが報告され、椎間板変性の病態解析や治療法への応用が注目されている。本研究の結果からHGF/c-MetシグナルもHIF-1α発現調節を介して椎間板細胞の恒常性の制御に関与していると考え、今後のさらなるメカニズムの解析が必要と考える。
