| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is difficult to accurately evaluate the effect of regenerative therapy in conventional mouse models of salivary gland injury, because various organs other than salivary glands are injured. Therefore, an animal model of salivary gland injury has been required.
In this study, we established a salivary gland-specific injury model mouse by gene modification using the Toxin receptor-mediated cell knockout (TRECK) as a model of salivary gland injury. Diphtheria toxin (DT) was injected into the transgenic mouse, and the amount of pilocarpine-stimulated salivary secretion was measured. As a result, it decreased to about 55% 168 hours after the administration of DT. Furthermore, histological examination revealed an increase of TUNEL-positive apoptotic cell as compared with the wild type.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では唾液腺局所に発現するプロモーターによる遺伝子改変マウスを作出し、唾液腺特異的に組織が障害されることを確認した。この遺伝子改変マウスはこれまでにない病態モデルとなり、唾液腺障害に起因する唾液分泌障害のメカニズムの解析や、唾液腺組織再生治療の開発の為に、唾液腺を特異的に障害するモデル動物の開発が極めて有効な研究戦略となると考えられる。
今後、この遺伝子改変マウスを利用して組織傷害や再生の詳細を検討する。
