Research Abstract	慢性腎不全や肝硬変は組織線維化によって特徴づけられ、移植以外に根本的な救命法がない難治性疾患とされてきた。一方、肝再生因子として見出されたHGFは組織修復に重要な因子であることがわかってきた。そこで本年度は慢性腎不全および肝硬変の病理発生におけるHGFの内因性修復因子としての機能をモデル動物を用いて検証した。 1.慢性腎不全におけるHGFの内因性修復因子としての重要性. 慢性腎不全を自然発症するICGNマウスを用いて腎線維化の病理発生におけるHGF発現の意義を解析した。慢性腎不全の初期では間質線維芽細胞にHGFが強く発現しており、これに一致して尿細管再生が観察され、腎機能も維持されていた。そこでこの代償期にHGFの中和抗体を投与してみたところ、尿細管にアポトーシスが誘導され、これに一致して線維化誘導因子であるTGF-βの。発現が誘導された。その結果、尿細管間質に線維形成が加速され、腎機能も著しい低下を示した。一方、このマウスにリコンビナントHGFを投与すると、尿細管に再生が駆動されるとともに腎機能も正常値にまで改善された。 2.肝硬変におけるHGF遺伝子導入による病理発生機構の解析代表的な肝臓毒であるDMNを用いて作成したラットの肝硬変においてその進行に一致して内因性HGFの枯渇が観察された。そこでHVJ-リポソーム法によりHGF遺伝子を生体内に導入したところ、HGFレベルの上昇に伴って肝細胞は再生し、TGF-βの発現の発現抑制制とともに肝硬変の病態も強く改善された。以上の事から、腎臓や肝臓の組織線維化は内因性HGFの枯渇によって加速されている一方、外来性HGFが治療因子となり得る可能性が示唆された。
