Outline of Research at the Start

本提案では、胃上皮内幹細胞集団の動態とその制御機構について、新規のマウスモデルと単一細胞レベルの解析を用いて詳細に解析する。腺管内に存在するとされる複数の幹細胞群がどのように分裂・分化を行い、細胞間相互転換および子孫細胞の供給を行っていくのかを、多系統の細胞群を異なる蛍光蛋白で標識・追跡可能なマウスを用いて解明する。さらに、周囲傍分泌ニッチ刺激が異なる幹細胞の分裂・分化様式を誘導する様子とその機序を、単一細胞レベルの転写プロファイリングにより明らかにする。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

To examine Rspondin signaling to stem cells, we analyzed Tff1-Cre;tetO-Rspo3;R26-LSL-rtTA mice and conditional knockout mice of its receptors Lgr4 and Lgr5. As a result, Rspo3 induced differentiation into chief cells via Lgr4 expressed in stem cells and mucous neck cells. Furthermore, as a result of a lineage tracing experiment in mice in which intermediate cells located in the middle of differentiation from mucous neck cells to chief cells were selectively labeled, this intermediate cell population was divided into two fractions. The more differentiated cell type cells do not have the ability to divide, while the progenitor type cells have the function of gradual differentiation towards chief cells.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

消化管上皮の腺管底部に存在するLgr5陽性幹細胞が同定されて以降、消化管幹細胞研究はLgr5陽性細胞の動態解析を中心に進められてきた。しかし申請者の精密かつ詳細な観察によって、胃上皮ではLgr5陽性幹細胞よりもその上方に位置するLgr5陰性(Lgr4陽性)幹細胞の方がより活発に腺管構成細胞を供給していることが明らかとなった。本研究は「これまでのLgr5=胃上皮の主たる幹細胞」という学説を覆す、大きな成果を輩出した。また、胃の基礎研究領域で簡易的な脱分化マーカーとして汎用されている主細胞・頸細胞間の中間細胞について世界で初めて選択的な細胞標識を実現し、分裂・分化様式を可視化することに成功した。
