Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We generated the double knockout mice for gene silencing of NZF-2 and NZF-3, and compared these mice with normal or single knockout mice of NZF-2 or NZF-3 by their histology and gene-expression levels. As a result, the neurons did not innervate from spinal cord into the diaphragm or the distal portion of the extremities. In cerebral cortex, the bundles of nerve fibers were completely lost. In the genes that have moderately changed expression levels in the double knockout mice compared to wild type mice, we found ones that control alternative splicing. This finding suggests that NZF-2 and NZF-3 may influence alternative splicing patterns of other genes.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究で得られた結果は、神経細胞が神経線維を伸ばして情報網をつくる際に、2つの遺伝子NZF-2とNZF-3が協力して必要不可欠な働きをすることを示しています。また、正常マウスと比べて二重変異マウスでは、他の遺伝子の働き方が変化する可能性があります。こうした遺伝子やNZF-2とNZF-3の働きは、再生医療で神経を再生させたり、遺伝子の働き方の変化を検査して神経難病を診断するなどの応用が期待できます。
