Outline of Final Research Achievements

Larvae of the sleeping Chironomid (Polypedilum vanderplanki) can survive almost complete desiccation. Larvae of a related species (P. pembai) also accumulate high amount of trehalose during desiccation to reach the same ametabolic state of anhydrobiosis. Concerning the mechanism of induction of anhydrobiosis, we showed that the transcription factor HSF (Heat Shock Factor) was inducing the expression of many anhydroprotectants and of a part of trehalose synthesis pathway in response to dehydration stress. In contrast, we showed that there was probably no participation of a putative trehalose signaling pathway in the induction of anhydrobiosis. Finally, the role trehalose degradation after rehydration, not considered until now, was investigated. We showed that trehalose degradation was necessary for survival after rehydration, probably through fueling the metabolic pathways needed to sustain life.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

学術的に乾燥休眠を示すネムリユスリカ類の間では保護物質をしてのトレハロース蓄積が保存されていることを証明した。heat shock factor (HSF)という転写因子が乾燥休眠の一つの主な引き金であることを明らかにしたのは乾燥耐性の誘導メカニズムを解明するために重要な第一歩であることを評価する。
乾燥幼虫の再水和におけるトレハロースの分解と抗酸化能力の維持との関係を証明することができなかったものの、今まで不明だったその役割は生命維持に必要な代謝機構を支えていることが明らかになった。
以上の成果が細胞や生体物質の常温乾燥保存技術の開発に貢献することを期待している。
