Outline of Research at the Start

破骨細胞の定義は「骨を壊す細胞」である。教科書的には、この細胞には「良い働き」と「悪い働き」があり、良い働きとしては、これが古い骨を吸収することで骨芽細胞による骨新生を促し、恒常的なリモデリングが維持されることが挙げられ、一方で関節リウマチなどではこの細胞が働きすぎることで骨が破壊されるという悪い働きがあるとされてきた。しかし、本研究者は両者が顕著に異なることに気がつき、より本質的に異なるものではないかという仮説を立てた。本研究ではこの仮説の下に、「悪玉」破骨細胞のみを特異的に同定し、これを徹底的に抑制する新しい治療法開発を行う。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we demonstrated that pathogenic osteoclasts, which are different from those maintaining normal bone metabolism, are formed in the arthritic joints, by means of our originally developed intravital imaging system accompanied with single cell analysis, and we succeeded in identifying an arthritic osteoclastogenic macrophage (AtoM) and another pathogenic macrophage AM1, which can induce AtoM in local inflammatory loci. We also showed that a transcription factor FoxM1 is important for the induction of AtoM, and we could also identify human AtoM by analyzing human samples. These results lead to the development of new therapies that can specifically inhibit pathological bone destruction caused by arthritis without affecting normal bone homeostasis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

破骨細胞は一種類ではなく、正常の骨代謝を担う「善玉」と病的骨破壊を起こす「悪玉」が存在することが明らかになったことで、「悪玉」だけを選択的かつ強力に抑制する治療の開発につながり、その社会的意義は大きい。また病理組織における特徴的な病原性マクロファージの同定は、組織におけるマクロファージの多様性の解明につながり、関節腔以外にも肺や肝臓など多くの組織・臓器における多様な病原性マクロファージの同定につながる学術的意義がもたらされた。
