Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Autophagy is a mechanism to digest damaged organelles, and serves an important role to maintain homeostasis of cells and organisms against many diseases. Extracellular proteins released in association with autophagy activity and organelle damages are candidates for the autophagy-related disease biomarkers. In this research, mouse proteomic analyses of released/secreted proteins from immunocompetent cells were performed with or without irritant particle stimulus. By this assay, many biomarker candidates were identified, and some of them are revealed to detect in blood serum and urine from autophagy-disease model mouse. Knock-down assay of the extracellular proteins also showed one of the identified protein negatively control the production of inflammatory cytokines, suggesting the identified protein is expected as a drug target.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
オートファジーは損傷した細胞内小器官を選択的に分解し、細胞の恒常性を維持する機構であり、この働きが弱まると神経変性疾患や炎症性疾患などが引き起こされることが知られている。このオートファジー不全からの疾患発症過程において細胞外レベルが顕著に変動するタンパク質は機能的な重要性だけでなく、関連疾患群の有効なバイオマーカーとなり得る。 本研究で明らかにした、刺激性微粒子による細胞小器官の損傷に伴って細胞外へ放出される因子群は、細胞や生体が有する恒常性維持機構の分子機構の解明だけでなく、血中や尿中から安易に採取できる疾患バイオマーカーとしての有効性も期待される。
