Research Abstract	1.β型トランスフォーミング増殖因子(TGF-β)レセプターの種々の疾患における発現:TGF-βのI型、II型レセプターの発現を検討し、胃癌や脳腫瘍などの組織では悪性度が増すにつれてレセプターの発現が上昇することを確認した。一方、分子レベルでは遺伝性大腸癌でII型レセプターに変異がみられることが報告され、我々はさまざまな扁平上皮癌でII型レセプターの遺伝子異常の有無を現在検討中である。これに対し、前立腺癌の細胞株LNCaPではI型レセプターに異常があることを確認した。 2.TGF-βレセプターに対するTGF-βの結合部位の研究:TGF-βIII型レセプターに対する結合部位にはN末端近傍とC末端近傍に2カ所のリガンド結合部位があることを確認した。現在その機能的役割を検討中で、今後新しい薬剤をデザインするさいの貴重な情報となると考えられる。 3.TGF-βII型レセプターによるI型レセプターの活性化のメカニズムの研究:TGF-βのI型レセプター活性化にはGSドメインとよばれる特異的構造が重要であることが知られている。今回我々は、I型レセプターの膜貫通領域とGSドメインの間に位置する領域に変異を加えることによってこの領域が細胞増殖抑制のシグナル伝達には重要であるが、細胞外マトリックスの産生は重要ではないことを示唆する所見を得た。 4.TGF-βレセプターの細胞内基質の同定とcDNAクローニング:我々は酵母を用いたtwo-hybrid法によってFKBP-12(免疫抑制剤の結合タンパク質)とfarnesyl transferase-α(FT-α)がTGF-βのI型レセプターと結合することを見いだした。またFKBP-12とFT-αは酵母のシステムだけでなくヒトの培養細胞内でも結合することを確認した。
