Outline of Research at the Start

肥満腎症は、巣状分節性に糸球体硬化をきたすことがその本態であると考えられてきたが、申請者らはメタボリックシンドロームを模した高脂肪食負荷マウスの腎尿細管では、リソソームに層状の物質が蓄積するとともにオートファジー活性が低下することを見出し、肥満関連尿細管症(obesity-related tubulopathy;ORT)と名付けた。オートファジー活性の低下は尿細管細胞が本来処理すべき傷害オルガネラの蓄積を助長し、悪循環から尿細管傷害に至る。本研究ではORTをリソソームの機能障害として捉え、その病態生理を探索する。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examined the pathogenesis of obesity-related tubulopathy (ORT; obesity-related tubulopathy) in detail. The results revealed that 1) TFEB is the most activated transcription factor under saturated fatty acid load, 2) its activation is due to the suppression of the mTORC1 non-classical pathway, and 3) TFEB activated during ORT suppresses the progression of kidney disease through the release of undigested material accumulated inside lysosomes into the tubular lumen by promoting lysosomal exocytosis. In addition, this study identified a mechanism by which the production of FGF21 is enhanced during ORT and this FGF21 counteracts the progression of kidney disease through improving autophagy stagnation and promoting mitochondrial biosynthesis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により①ORTの病態では尿細管でTFEBが活性化しリソソーマルエクソサイトーシスを亢進することによりリソソーム恒常性を維持しORTに対抗していること、②ORTの病態では尿細管でFGF21の産生が亢進しミトコンドリア生合成促進ならびにオートファジー停滞改善を介してORTに対抗していること、が明らかとなり、これまで大部分が未解明であったORTの病態メカニズムの一端を解明することができた。以上から今後は肥満関連腎症や糖尿病関連腎臓病に対して、TFEB-リソソーマルエクソサイトーシス経路の活性化やFGF21産生の促進を標的としたORTの病態に即した治療法の開発が期待される。
