Research Abstract	本研究班は、シナプス伝達の長期増強および長期抑圧の機構を解明することならびに中枢シナプス可塑性と記憶・学習をはじめとする脳の高次機能との関係を実験的に検証することを目的とする。とくに、中枢における神経情報伝達とシナプス可塑性の鍵を握るグルタミン酸受容体を実体として明らかにした成果を基盤に、遺伝子ノックアウトを重視した。シナプス可塑性を担うと推論したNMDA受容体チャネルのε1サブユニットを欠損したマウスを標的遺伝子組換え法により作製した。ε1サブユニット欠損マウスは普通に発育し、脳神経系は形態学的にも組織化学的にも正常であった。海馬スライス標本にパッチクランプ法を適用し、NMDA受容体チャネル電流を測定した結果、ε1サブユニット欠損マウスではAMPA受容体チャネル電流に対するNMDA受容体チャネル電流の相対的な比率が約半分に低下していることを示した。さらに、ε1サブユニット欠損マウスでは高頻度刺激により誘発される海馬シナプスの長期増強の程度も低下していること、すなわちシナプスの可塑性が減少していることを見い出した。最後に、モリスの水迷路学習法を用いてε1サブユニット欠損マウスは低い学習能力しか示さないことを明らかにした。この結果は、ある種の記憶・学習はシナプス可塑性に基づいているとの考えを支持するものである。また、小脳プルキニエ細胞に特異的に発現するδ2サブユニット欠損マウスは運動失調を示し、平行線維とプルキニエ細胞間のシナプス長期抑圧が観察されないことを見い出した。さらに、平行線維とプルキニエ細胞間のシナプス数の減少ならびに登上線維によるプルキニエ細胞の多重支配を電子顕微鏡および電気生理学解析により明らかにした。これらの結果は、小脳においてシナプス可塑性とシナプス形成の分子基盤に密接な関連のあることを示唆している。本成果は、多くの計画班員の協同研究で達成されたものであり、Nature、Cell誌に発表した。
