Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we used a mouse model of HBV infection to elucidate the effects of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from HBV-infected cells on HBV-related pathologies and their role in intestinal immunity. The results showed that EVs secreted from cells with HBV infection strongly suppressed the immune response, which inhibited the eradication of HBV-replicating cells in the HBV mouse model of infection. It was suggested that up-regulation of PD-L1 expression in dendritic cells in liver-draining lymph nodes may be important for the suppression of this eradication. Furthermore, the addition of infected cell-derived EVs to the culture supernatant of bone marrow cells increased the proportion of CD11c+ CD11b+ CD103+ cells, an immunomodulatory DC population in the gut. These results suggest that bone marrow cells that take up EVs derived from HBV-infected cells may affect intestinal immunity.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまで、HBV感染細胞から放出される細胞外小胞(EVs)の機能を解析した研究はなされてきたが、全てIn vitroでの研究であった。本研究は、HBV感染マウスモデルを使って初めてIn vivoでHBV感染細胞由来EVsの機能を明らかにしたものである。この機能は、HBV感染細胞由来EVsは免疫応答を強く抑制し、HBV複製細胞の排除を抑制するものである。さらに、HBV感染細胞由来EVsは腸管免疫にも影響与えている可能性を示唆する結果も得られた。これらの結果は、B型肝炎関連病態の理解を深めるとともに、新規治療の開発への足がかりとなることも期待できる。
