| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to elucidate the involvement and mechanism of lipid mediators in multiple fundamental pathophysiology of polycystic kidney disease, and to provide a basis for the development of disease-specific therapy based on pathophysiology using modification of them, as well as confirming the effect by therapeutic research using model animals for its application to humans.
As a continuation of the previous research on PKD, we examined the involvement of miRNAs and lipid mediators, obtained data suggesting that several miRNAs, including miR-23a, are involved in the pathology of PKD, and further research are planning.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
多発性嚢胞腎の複数の基本的病態生理における脂質メディエーターの関与とその機序が解明され、それらを修飾することによる病態生理に基づいた疾患特異的治療開発のための基礎的知見が獲得され、そのヒトへの応用のためのモデル動物を用いた治療研究による効果が確認されれば、新しい治療法の開発に繋がる可能性があり、医学・医療に貢献する。
