Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to comprehensively elucidate the mechanism of promoting osteoclast differentiation under hypoxia and to search for a therapeutic method for bone destruction specific to rheumatoid arthritis. We found that KDM1a is important using specific siRNAs and inhibitors. KDM1a is mTOR-dependently induced by RANKL stimulation during osteoclastogenesis. KDM1a regulated metabolism in HIF1-mediated osteoclast differentiation not only under hypoxia but also under normoxia. Furthermore, it regulated the expression of E2F1 regulating the cell cycle and metabolism in osteoclast differentiation. The HIF-mediated osteoclast differentiation pathway of KDM1a was found to be important in inflammatory bone resorption, including rheumatoid arthritis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
関節リウマチは炎症性疾患で、骨軟骨破壊を来して、機能障害を引き起こす。近年様々な薬剤が開発されたものの、骨破壊は完全には制御できておらず、既存の治療は副作用や長期使用に問題がある。今回、骨を破壊する細胞の主軸である破骨細胞の分化において、KDM1aが重要であることが分かった。KDM1aを介した炎症部位特異的な骨破壊の機序が明らかになり、今後関節リウマチの新たな骨破壊の治療法になる可能性がある。
