Outline of Final Research Achievements

The mechanism of the development of brain edema is complex and it is not yet clear. AQP4, one of a water channel aquaporin (AQP), has been suggested the importance in the development or recovery. On the other hand, AQP9 exists in the brain; pia, hippocampus, white matter. It was found to be relatively expressed in astrocytes by detailed study. In cultured astrocytes, AQP9 expression was increased through the P38PAMK and PKA, was reduced through the PKC. Hypoxia, AQP9 decreases, expressed and re-oxygen decreased. Expression of AQP9 in the cerebral artery ligation model in rats was increased. Since the regulation mechanisms of AQP9 expression were revealed, it can be a therapeutic target in the brain edema.
