Outline of Final Research Achievements

Patients with homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in ABCA3 gene cause severe lung diseases in infants and children. We isolated an alveolar epithelial progenitor cells (AEPCs) from human lungs. In the present study, we isolated AEPCs from 2 patients without ABCA3 mutations and from 2 patients with different ABCA3 mutations and analyzed the differentially expressed genes of the two groups.
We evaluated the differentially expressed genes of AT2 derived from ABCA3-wt- and ABCA3-mt-AEPCs. Changes of cell polarity and epithelial barrier function, development associated genes in AT2 with ABCA3 mutation might be involved in the disease development.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果は,ABCA3変異によって起こっていると考えられる肺胞上皮細胞(AT2) 機能障害を,AT2 の前駆細胞AEPCsを用いて再現したところである.本研究の成果を用い,ABCA3変異によって生じるAT2機能障害をターゲットとして,AT2 の機能を改善するという新規視点による治療薬開発を目指すことができる.また,ABCA3 は肺ではAT2 に特異的な遺伝子であるため,ABCA3変異の解析はAT2傷害による難治性肺疾患のメカニズム解明につながる可能性がある.
