Outline of Research at the Start

非アルコール性脂肪肝炎(NASH)は、脂肪肝から進行して、マクロファージによる炎症や間葉系細胞による線維化を伴う疾患で、慢性肝不全の最大要因となっている。申請者は、ヒトiPS細胞から、炎症反応や線維化を模倣できる肝臓オルガノイドを構築する培養法の開発に取り組み、最近、インスリン様成長因子(IGF-1)が肝臓オルガノイドの細胞間シグナル分子として働き、NASHを抑制することを見出した。本研究では、ヒト肝臓オルガノイド技術を駆使することで、IGF-1を起点とした細胞間シグナルによって調節されるNASHの病態機構を細胞・分子レベルで解明することを目的とする。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the most prevalent cause of chronic liver failure, which is associated with multicellular pathogenesis including macrophage-mediated inflammation and hepatic stellate cell-mediated fibrosis. In this study, we established a novel steatohepatitis model in human iPSC-derived multicellular liver organoids that recapitulate the inflammatory and fibrogenic responses. By using this organoid model, we investigated intercellular signaling, leading to the identification of the potential anti-fibrotic signaling factor and its cellular and molecular mechanisms. This study will delineate the multicellular mechanisms of the signaling pathways alleviating NASH fibrosis, and will contribute to the drug development to attenuate the fibrosis in human NASH.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果により、パラクライン因子や細胞間相互作用を加味したヒトNASHにおける肝炎や線維化に関する病態進展の一端が細胞・分子レベルで解明される。将来的に、臨床病態への外挿性が担保されたオルガノイドスクリーニング基盤を通じて、本研究で見出された因子を標的とする治療有効性の高いシーズ化合物の導出が期待される。ヒトiPS細胞由来オルガノイドモデルを活用することで、環境要因等の交絡因子を排除した形で患者固有の病態再現や治療標的の導出、バイオマーカー開発を進める戦略は、肝臓以外の肺や腎臓などの重要臓器の線維症研究にも大きな波及効果を生み出すと考えられる。
