| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The form change of a certain organ was observed in the MeCP2 gene deficiency mouse as a model mouse of Rett syndrome (RTT).I guessed that bioactive substance secretion abnormality was a cause.In this study,I tried the in vitro production using the cultured cell of the organ.I let I introduced the lentiviral vector which carried shRNA into a target cell, and the knockdown of the MeCP2 gene succeed. I performed the analysis of the property and the function of the MeCP2 knockdown cells and was able to duplicate bioactive secretion abnormality seen in in vivo.
