Outline of Research at the Start

昨今、いずれの細菌種もタンパク質や脂質、核酸で構成される直径30-500 nmのメンブレンヴェシクル(MV)を産生することが分かってきた。一方で疾患起因性から重要な結核菌のMVには宿主免疫抑制的な作用があると報告されているが、その分子機序は全く解明されていない。結核菌は宿主細胞内で数十年にわたる潜伏を果たす特異な性質を有しているが、その過程にMVが関与している可能性が高い。そこで、本研究は抗酸菌のMV産生制御因子とMV中に存在する宿主免疫抑制因子を同定し結核菌MVの宿主細胞内潜伏に果たす役割の解明を目的とする。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

Tuberculosis (TB), one of the oldest infectious diseases known to mankind, still claims 1.4 million lives annually and causes tremendous damage. One of the factors that make the eradication of TB difficult is the unique properties of the causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), such as dormancy and latency in the host. Here, we investigated the role of mycobacterial membrane vesicles (MVs), the extracellular vesicles from bacteria, in latency of Mtb. By creating recombinant bacteria, we attempted to identify the regulators of MV production. On the other hand, we also analyzed the impact of MV on host immunity. It became clear that the immunostimulatory activity and immunogenicity of MVs changed significantly depending on the culture conditions of MV-donor cells. Furthermore, the possibility of developing a novel vaccine against TB using mycobacterial MVs was demonstrated.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本邦での新規登録結核患者数は減少傾向にあるが、全世界的にはアジア・アフリカ・南米を中心に、結核はいまだに猛威をふるっている。新規抗結核薬の開発などにより結核死亡者数は減少傾向にあるものの、HIV陽性患者における結核死、多剤耐性結核の発生は増加しており、結核の撲滅には依然として解決すべき課題が山積している。
ウシ型結核菌弱毒株BCGワクチンは唯一確立された結核予防法であるが、その有効性は小児期に限られること、時にBCG感染症の副作用が出現することなど、問題点も指摘されている。
抗酸菌由来の膜小胞の新規結核ワクチンへの応用は、結核制御への新たなアプローチとなりうる。
