Outline of Research at the Start

本研究では、活性化した2型自然リンパ球表面に発現するGITR-LとOX40-LがT細胞の分化制御や活性化制御に直接的に関与することを証明する。ILC2上のこれらの分子がT細胞免疫寛容制御機構とT細胞分化制御に関与することを明らかにすることにより、アレルギー・膠原病発症の新たな制御機構を解明し、さらには、新たな治療法の開発に資する基盤技術の確立を目指す。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

We found that OX40-L is expressed on IL-33-stimulated group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) in mice and may exert anti-tumor effects by providing OX40 stimulation to killer T cells, an important finding indicating an immune activation mechanism through the interaction between ILC2 and T cells.
We also found that OX40 expression on peripheral blood ILC2 of adult patients with atopic dermatitis was higher than that of healthy subjects. Furthermore, we found that the expression level of OX40 is positively correlated with the POEM score, an index of the severity of atopic dermatitis. The increased proliferation and expression of Th2 cytokines in in vitro OX40-stimulated ILC2 suggests that OX40-expressing ILC2 may be involved in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

OX40はT細胞に活性化シグナルを伝達する共刺激分子として知られており、人為的なOX40阻害はアレルギー・自己免疫疾患の治療標的であり、OX40刺激はヒトにおいても抗腫瘍効果を発揮する。OX40-OX40L系がILC2の活性化やT細胞との相互作用で機能するとの本知見は学術的にも臨床医学的にも重要な発見である。
