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ならびに記憶・学習との関係を実験的に検証することを目的とし、遺伝子ノックアウトマウスの作成と解析を中心に推進した。NMDA受容体チャネルのε1サブユニットを欠損したマウスにおけるNMDA受容体チャネルの性質をスライスパッチクランプ法で解析することにより、発達の過程でε2型からε1型およびε3型への転換が起こり、成熟加硫細胞ではε1型およびε3型がそれぞれ単一チャネルコンダクタンスを異にするチャネルを形成して共存していることおよびε3型が低Mg^<2+>感受性チャネルを形成することが示唆された。さらに、標的遺伝子組換えによりNMDA受容体チャネルのε2サブユニットを欠損したマウスを作成した。ε2サブユニット欠損マウスは、生後1日で死亡したが、人工哺乳により飼育可能なことから、死因は母乳を摂取できないことに因ると考えられた。欠損マウスは哺乳に必要な吸引反射が消失しており、三叉神経核においてヒゲ知覚神経に対応するバレレット構造の形成が認められなかった。ヒゲ知覚神経を標識し解析した結果、知覚神経は三叉神経核に到達しているが、その神経終末は散漫に分布していることが示唆される。さらに、海馬シナプスにおいてシナプス伝達の長期抑圧が欠損していた。すなわち、ε2サブユニットはシナプス可塑性とシナプス形成の両者に関与し、マウスの発達に必須の分子であることが明らかとなった。小脳プルキニエ細胞に特異的に発現するグルタミン酸受容体チャネルδ2サブユニット欠損マウスのプルキンエ細胞シナプスから記録を行い平行線維刺激の効果を調べたところ、反応の大きさが有意に減弱しており、平行線維-プルキンエ細胞シナプスの形成不全があるという形態学的所見を機能的に裏付けた。また、このマウスでは、登上線維がプルキンエ細胞の遠位樹状突起に、過剰な異所性シナプスを形成することを発見した。これは平行線維シナプス形成不全の結果と考えられ、平行線維と登上線維の間でプルキンエ細胞樹状突起のシナプス後部をめぐる競合があることが示唆された。代謝型グルタミン酸受容体およびプロテインキナーゼCγの欠損マウスでは、平行線維シナプスは正常に形成されたが、登上線維シナプスの成熟に障害があることが判明した。胚幹細胞を用いた遺伝子操作を多角的に効率よく行うためのピューロマイシンとピューロマイシン耐性遺伝子系を開発し、部位および時期特異的標的遺伝子組換えのためにCre-loxPプラスミドによるloxP組換え細胞の濃縮系を開発した。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、重点領域研究の長所を発揮することが出来た。
