Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The ATP2B1 gene is associated with hypertension. The ATP2B1 gene encodes plasma membrane calcium ATPase 1 (PMCA1), which has been thought to regulate only intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. We examined the alterations of calcium related factors in systemic heater ATP2B1 knock-out [ATP2B1(+/-)] mice. ATP2B1(+/-) mice exhibited hypocalcemia. The expression of ATP2B1 in the kidney and small intestine decreased, and hypercalciuria was confirmed in ATP2B1(+/-) mice. The intact-PTH levels were lower, and bone mineral density was increased in these mice. These results suggest that hypocalcemia is mainly a result of inhibited bone resorption without compensation by PTH secretion in the case of ATP2B1 knockout. Moreover, NO production may be affected by reduced PTH secretion, which may cause the increase in vascular contractility in these mice. The ATP2B1 gene is important for not only intra-cellular calcium regulation but also for calcium homeostasis and blood pressure control.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
高血圧は、脳心血管病の最大のリスク因子である。中壮年者の血圧を120/80mmHg未満にコントロールされれば、脳心血管病の死亡は、60%抑制することができると考えられている。このような国民病である高血圧を制圧することができれば、国民が元気に長生きできる可能性が高まる。そこで、本研究では、高血圧を制圧するために、血圧の上昇するメカニズム、最適な降圧治療を明らかにするために、高血圧関連遺伝子ATP2B1の意義を明らかにした。本遺伝子は血管の収縮性に関連することが明らかとなり、降圧治療のテーラーメイド医療に有用であることが示唆された。
