Outline of Research at the Start

本研究では、「少なくとも一部の精神疾患患者においてはミクログリア過剰活性化が起こっており、アリピプラゾールなどの向精神薬、あるいは、フィンゴロミド(FTY720:TRPM7阻害作用あり)などによるミクログリアTRPチャネルを介したミクログリア活性化制御が治療になるのでは?」という仮説を立て、精神疾患関連モデルマウス実験とともに、精神疾患患者由来iMG細胞を用いた橋渡し研究による双方向性アプローチで仮説解明を志す。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have conducted two spices studies using iMG cells from patients with psychiatric disorders as well as model mouse experiments to elucidate the hypothesis that aripiprazole and fingolimod may regulate microglial TRP channel-mediated activation for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. To elucidate this hypothesis, we have been conducting two spices studies using iMG cells derived from patients with psychiatric disorders as well as model mouse experiments. Cuprizone-treated mice, which are known as a schizophrenia-related model, showed microglial activation in specific brain regions, and aripiprazole and fingolimod treatment suppressed the activation in specific brain regions. We evaluated the cellular activation of aripiprazole and fingolimod in iMG cells derived from patients with psychiatric disorders and found that such activation was suppressed in some patient-derived iMG cells. Validation by increasing the number of cases is warranted.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

従来、精神疾患の治療ターゲットは神経シナプスであったが、本研究では神経シナプスにも影響を及ぼす脳内免疫細胞ミクログリアを介した新しい治療機序を見出そうという点で先進的な試みであり、今回のモデル動物および患者由来iMG細胞を用いて萌芽的な興味深い結果を得ており、今後のミクログリア活性化制御を介した治療薬創出が期待される。
