Research Abstract	(1)昨年完成した「血管内皮・平滑筋細胞機能を細胞分子レベルで生体連続観察できるシステム・第2号機」は細胞内の[Ca]i濃度分布画像について、256階調の[Ca]i濃度対応擬似カラーで表示出来る。この画像変化は、5Hzで観察可能である。現在、画像中の30局所の変化を連続記録可能なプログラムを開発し、その有効性を検定している。 (2)本システムやfura-2-front-surface fluorimetry を利用し、次のような研究成果を挙げた。 (1)豚大動脈弁の内皮細胞に光学的方法を応用し、Diadenosine tetraphosphate(AP_4A)は内皮細胞の細胞内Ca放出および細胞外Ca流入によって[Ca]iを上昇させ、NO産生を増加させることを証明した。[Ca]i上昇作用には、P_<2Y>およびP_<2U>受容体が関与していた。同程度の[Ca]i上昇で比較した場合、ATPに比べて、AP_4はより多量のNOを産生した。 (2)内皮を除去した豚冠動脈中膜標本にfront-surface fluorimetry 法およびα毒素処理によるスキン法を応用し、vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP)の冠動脈弛緩機序について検討した。VIPはK-channelを介した過分極と小胞体へのCa取り込みによる[Ca]i低下、および、G蛋白を介する収縮蛋白のCa感受性低下によって冠動脈を弛緩させることが明らかとなった。 (3)冠動脈にはβ_3-adrenoceptor遺伝子が発現していることを、薬理学的方法およびRT-PCR法を用いて証明した。次に、正常者および虚血性心臓病患者白血球から得られたゲノムDNAとPCR-RFLP法を用いてβ_3-adrenoceptor遺伝子Tr64Arg変異を解析したところ、この変異は正常者に比べて、虚血性心臓病患者では優位に多いことが判った。この遺伝子変異は、冠動脈硬化症の危険因子の一つである可能性が示された。
