Outline of Final Research Achievements

Roundabout 4 (Robo4) is a transmembrane receptor that is specifically expressed in endothelial cells. We have preciously found that Robo4-deficient mice in sepsis showed improved survival rates after LPS injection. However, the mechanism was not well understood. In this study, we found that the depletion of Robo4 inhibits production of inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, from endothelial cells and alleviates the sepsis phenotype. To establish a new anti-sepsis strategy by targeting Robo4, we generated antibodies against Robo4 and anti-sense oligonucleotides that inhibit expression of Robo4.
