Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our aim is to reveal a molecular mechanism of sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We focused our analysis on the relationship APP function and metabolism. In neurons, APP serves a cargo receptor of molecular motor. When APP connects with motor molecule by mediation of adaptor protein JIP1, the membrane vesicle of APP is transported with high efficiency, which tends to suppress the neurotoxic amiloid-beta (Ab) generation from APP (our previous reports). In this study, we found that APP can directly associate with molecular motor when adaptor protein is defective. In such case, transport efficiency of APP vesicles reduced, which can induce increased generation of Ab. In aged brain, we explore whether altered transport of APP vesicles occurs along with increased Abeta generation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
我が国では500万人以上の認知症患者が存在し、その70%はアルツハイマー病であるが、根本治療薬は無く予防と対処療法が中心となっている。高齢者の増加に伴い根本治療薬の開発は社会的な要請である。根本治療薬開発を妨げている要因は、孤発性のADの発症機構が多様で、発症メカニズムがよく理解されていない点である。研究代表者は、発症原因因子アミロイドβの前駆体APPの機能が、神経細胞内の軸索輸送を担うカーゴ受容体分子であることを世界に先駆けて示してきた。このAPPの機能とAβを生み出す代謝との関係を解明する研究は、根本治療薬の開発に必要となる新たな創薬標的を生み出す意義を持つ。
