Outline of Final Research Achievements

MMP13 is one of enzyme, which has the possibility of ameliorating liver fibrosis. We evaluated whether gene therapy using MMP13 could resolve liver cirrhosis of rat. Hydrodynamic gene delivery of MMP13 to the cirrhotic liver showed to suppress progression of liver fibrosis in the rats with continuous stimulation to cause liver inflammation and fibrosis. In addition, the delivery also demonstrated to decrease fibrotic tissue in the rats without the stimulation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

肝線維化は高度進行例でなければ、肝内の炎症を鎮めることである程度の改善が期待できる。逆に進行した場合には回復が難しいことが知られており、point of no returnなどと表現される。本研究では、MMP13遺伝子導入の炎症が継続する肝内における線維化抑制効果、また、炎症収束後の肝内における線維化改善効果が示されており、肝硬変診療の新たな治療手段となり得ることを示したものであり、今後の肝硬変診療発展の基盤となり得ると考える。
