Outline of Research at the Start

肝臓手術の成功には虚血再灌流障害の制御が不可欠である。常在性クッパー細胞と局所に動員される単球/マクロファージや好中球が肝臓虚血再灌流障害の制御に重要な役割を担うが、その制御メカニズムの解明は不十分である。ペア型免疫受容体は、細胞外領域に相同性の高い構造を持ち、免疫細胞の活性化を促進あるいは抑制する。
本研究は好中球や単球/マクロファージに発現するペア型免疫受容体に着目して、肝臓虚血再還流障害の分子機序を解明することを目指す。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

We used murine models of hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury in wild-type, an inhibitory receptor-deficient, and an activating receptor-deficient mice. Loss of an inhibitory receptor tested did not significantly influence hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury. In contrast, loss of an activating receptor tested reduced the numbers of neutrophils recruited to and the levels of inflammatory cytokines in the liver following ischemia-reperfusion, thereby alleviating the hepatic damage. Thus, the deficiency of an activating receptor tested, specifically expressed in neutrophils, exacerbated hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により、ペア型免疫受容体ファミリーに属する特定の活性化型受容体が肝臓虚血再灌流障害を悪化させる働きをもつことが明らかになった。好中球に特異的に発現する活性化型受容体が虚血再灌流した肝臓への好中球集積を促進し、炎症を誘導し、肝障害を悪化させると考えられた。これらの研究成果は、肝臓虚血再灌流障害の病態機序の解明と予防・治療法の開発につながり、学術的意義と社会的意義を有すると考えられる。
