Outline of Final Research Achievements

We found a novel mutant mouse that spontaneously develops Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) -like pathology and found that the causative gene is a missense mutation of the Chmp2A gene. On the other hand, its family, CHMP2B, has been reported as a causative gene for neurodegenerative diseases. Many missense mutations have been reported, particularly in human ALS patients. This study was conducted to clarify that Chmp2A is the causative gene for ALS-like abnormalities. In this study, we developed a simple gene modified mouse preparation method (i-GONAD method) to which genome editing technology was applied, thereby creating knock-in mice into which Chmp2A and Chmp2B were knockout and SNP mutations were introduced.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ヒトALSの原因遺伝子としていくつかが同定されている。しかし、Chmp2AがALSの原因遺伝子であるという報告はまだない。本研究でChmp2A KOマウスはChmp2B KOよりシビアな表現型を示した。Chmp2A遺伝子の遺伝子異常はヒトにおいても致死性の病態を示す可能性が示唆された。しかし、Chmp2A-L173P KIマウスでは明らかな後肢麻痺の表現型を示したことから、Chmp2Aがまだ同定されていない原因遺伝子である可能性を示唆している。本研究によりChmp2Aおよび2B遺伝子改変マウスを作製した。これらマウスの解析からALSの病態の解明につながる知見が得られる可能性がある。
