| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to establish a therapeutic strategy of bone regeneration by minimal intervention, this study aimed at identification of regulatory factors which contribute to migration or recruitment of osteoblast progenitors in bone repair processes. By integrating epigenetic profile, gene expression profile and gene ontology database, we obtained a set of candidate genes that may regulate migration or recruitment of osteoblast progenitors. We further identified gene regulatory elements of a candidate gene and used the element in reporter assay for drug screening. Through these analysis, we obtained candidates of small compound which may enhance migration or recruitment of osteoblast progenitors.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
骨組織修復過程において、骨格系前駆細胞を骨修復部位に積極的に動員させるための制御因子はほとんど分かっていませんでした。本研究では、その制御因子とその因子の発現を高める化合物の同定を目指しました。将来的に本研究がさらに進めば、骨修復を早める治療薬の開発に寄与する可能性を秘めています。
