Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During oocyte maturation, the chromatin is condensed, but after fertilization, the chromatin becomes asymmetric condensing. At the early blastocyst stage, each allylic chromatin relaxes and becomes "Neutral" (chromatin initialization). Subsequently, it has been shown that although placental development takes the form of asymmetric chromatin, random inactivation of the X chromosome occurs in ontogenetic systems under the condensation of random chromatin of both sexes during the peri-implantation periods. Oct4 gene, a pluripotent factor, is responsible for controlling the condensation and relaxation of nuclear chromatin that controls X-chromosome inactivation, and the OCT4 protein acts as a chromatin opener that leads to a relaxed state from chromatin condensation, indicating that the spatiotemporal control of OCT4 is associated with totipotency.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
X染色体不活化は、卵子、初期胚の細胞内動態が胎盤発生と成体健康状態・疾患へ明確に影響するバイオシステムとして研究できる唯一の発生モデルである。着床周辺期までに決定するX染色体不活化分子制御機構を明らかにすることは女性の細胞基本動態を理解することで多領域にわたる女性医学の進展に大きく貢献するものである。
