| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
B cell lymphoma 6 (Bcl6) is one of the key factors to regulate the sex specificity of the gene expression profiles or lipid metabolism in livers. We tried to confirm the Bcl6 function in the sex specificity of the Cytochrome P450 gene expression profiles. The expression of the male biased Cyps such as Cyp2d9 was decreased in Bcl6-LKO mice livers. The expression of the female biased Cyps such as Cyp3a41 was increased in Bcl6-LKO mice livers. These results suggested that Bcl6 was indispensable to regulate the sex specific expression of Cyps. We began to study the Bcl6 function in lipid metabolism and dyslipidemia and these sex specificities in livers.
