Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the hippocampus of dementia model mice, Reelin and phosphorylated Dab1 decreased, and as a result, EphrinB/EphB is decreased. We found that neural stem cells transplanted to the hippocampus of dementia mice produce Reelin and phosphorylate Dab1 and Akt downstream thereof, further activate synapse formation and reconstruct neural circuits downstream. Neural stem cell transplantation, together with Reelin, is likely to result in increased production of Ephrin B and synapse formation. Specifically, in the presence of Reelin stimulation, Ephrin B3 forms a complex with ApoER2 to develop synapses in normal mice, and there is the abnormality in the hippocampus of dementia mice, which may lead to synaptic hypoplasia.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

国内外の多くの研究者は認知症モデル動物を用いて神経細胞移植での根治療法を探っている。ヒトへの臨床応用については免疫拒絶反応の問題が発生し、さらに倫理的な観点からの問題も研究遂行の障壁となる点が存在する。ヒトへの応用を第一に考え、我々は本研究においてhiPS細胞を用いることを提案している。
本研究は認知機能の改善に神経幹細胞移植の効果を認知症マウスで試みる研究として世界的に先頭を走ると考えている。認知症の根治療法の開発は認知症患者のみならず、介護にあたる家族にとっても悲願である。本研究は認知症による経済的損失解決のためにも全世界に貢献できるものと考えている。
