| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We used cultured human bronchial smooth muscle cells under hypoxic conditions as a system to mimic ischemic conditions at the cellular level, and performed a comprehensive analysis of gene expression changes, including untranslated RNAs (ncRNAs). The RNA-Seq analysis showed that the expression of miR-659 was significantly downregulated in the hypoxic (1%) group compared to the normoxic (21%) group, suggesting an interaction with RhoA mRNA. On the other hand, no expression changes were observed for RhoA mRNA itself, suggesting that, as in the asthma model, a decreased translational repression mechanism by microRNAs may be involved in airway hyperresponsiveness after ischemia. Other interesting gene expression changes were also detected, and future studies are expected.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
研究の目的は肺移植術後に気道過敏性が亢進するメカニズムを解明することである。ラット肺虚血再潅流(IR)傷害モデルを用いてWestern blot法、リアルタイムRT-PCR法を行いmiR-133a-3pおよびそのターゲットであるRhoAタンパク質が気道過敏性亢進の機序であることを解明した。またこの機序は吸入麻酔薬セボフルランで抑制され、麻酔薬が肺移植術の気道過敏性亢進を抑制することを示唆した。DNAアレイによる網羅的解析により各種遺伝子の発現がダイナミックに変動しIR傷害がもたらされる可能性を示唆した。
