| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In a system aiming at deep observation of the living body using multiphoton confocal laser microscope A1R MP (Nikon), administration of epoxy eicosatrienoic acids (EETs) inhibitor and adenosine inhibitor, induced the vasoconstrictive action in Midkine (MK) deficient mice. The blood vessels were contracted and blood flow was decreased, as blood pressure increased. The blood flow rate was rising. On the other hand, when a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor inhibitor was administered to evaluate the sympathetic nervous system, blood pressure dropped in MK deficient mice, indicating an increase in blood flow. MK has been shown to regulate renal and blood pressure via a vasodilator.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
高血圧症は腎硬化症を引き起こし、ひいては末期腎不全に至り、血液浄化療法を必要とする。現在の降圧剤は血管平滑筋に作用し、血管拡張作用を促すCa拮抗薬やRenin-angiotensin系阻害を促すACE阻害剤やARBといった薬剤が主流である。本研究では、血管拡張因子を介して血管拡張を調整する新規分子としてMidkineの血圧調整についてその有用性と根底にある機序を解明した。今後、新規降圧療法の一助となると考える。
