Outline of Research at the Start

シェーグレン症候群は自己免疫が病因として考えられるが、その発症機序には未解明な部分が多く、根本治療は未だ確立されていない。眼および口腔乾燥症状により患者のQOLは著しく低下し、慢性に経過することから新規治療法の確立は急務である。本研究で、マスト細胞のシェーグレン症候群における唾液腺炎への関与について注目している。先行実験でマスト細胞は唾液腺炎局所で増殖し、マスト細胞数と唾液分泌能低下が有意に相関することを明らかにした。本研究で唾液腺炎におけるマスト細胞の機能解析を行い、マスト細胞およびその関連分子を標的とした新規治療法の確立を目標に本研究を立案した。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study investigated the associations of mast cells with immune-mediated inflammation and fibrosis in patients with primary Sjogren’s syndrome (pSS). Mast cell numbers in labial salivary glands were significantly greater in pSS than in control individuals. In salivary glands from patients with pSS, mast cell number was significantly correlated with fibrosis extent; moreover, mast cells were located near fibrous tissue and expressed TGFβ1. Col1a and TGFβ1 mRNAs were upregulated in cocultured fibroblasts and HMC-1 cells, respectively. Fibroblasts cultured in HMC-1 conditioned medium exhibited upregulation of Col1a mRNA; this was abrogated by TGFβ1 neutralizing antibodies.  Mast cell numbers were elevated in patients with pSS-related sialadenitis; these cells were located near fibroblasts and expressed TGFβ1. TGFβ1 could induce collagen synthesis in fibroblasts, which might contribute to fibrosis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

シェーグレン症候群は唾液や涙液分泌が障害され慢性的に乾燥症状が持続し、QOLが低下する難治性疾患である。唾液腺炎症を抑制する根本治療は確立されておらず対症療法が主となっている。本研究ではマスト細胞が唾液腺炎症部位で増殖し、TGFβ1を産生を介して線維芽細胞によるコラーゲン線維産生を促進することを明らかにした。シェーグレン症候群においてマスト細胞およびTGFβ1を阻害することで組織線維化を抑制し唾液分泌能低下を軽減させる新規治療法の確立が期待される。
