Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we investigated the relationship between mitochondrial biogenesis and joint destruction in RA. We investigated cell proliferation and MMP3/RANKL secretion by mitochondria biogenesis activated AICAR in RA-FLS. We also investigated joint destruction and inflammationby mitochondria biogenesis activated on AICAR in CIA-mice in vivo.
The mRNA expressions of mitochondrial biogenesis genes and mtDNA were enhanced by AICAR in RA-FLS. In addition, AICAR inhibited cell proliferation, MMP3 and RANKL production.In vivo study, AICAR inhibited arthritis score and joint destruction in CIA mice.AICAR inhibited joint destruction in CIA mice These results showed that enhancement of mitochondria biogenesis inhibited disease activity of RA.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

現在RAの治療はIL-6やTNFといった炎症性サイトカインの抑制を中心に行われており、その治療には免疫抑制という大きな副作用がある。このため、活動性ウイルス性肝炎や結核、さらには人工関節などの感染後など感染症のある患者に対しての治療は困難を極める。また近年の新興感染症の流行など、免疫不全状態をもたらす薬物治療においては一定の危険性がある。今回、ミトコンドリア機能、量を増加、亢進させることで、RAの滑膜細胞におけるアポトーシスを誘導し、さらに関節破壊を抑制する効果がある可能性が示唆された。ミトコンドリアを増加させる薬剤はいくつか存在しており、今後RAの安全な治療となる可能性がある。
