Research Abstract |
蛋白はグルコースによって非酵素的に糖化を受け、後期反応生成物(AGE:Advanced Glycation Endproducts)を形成する。AGEは糖尿病合併症の発症機構の一つとして注目されており、特に、AGE蛋白をリガンドとして認識し、種々の細胞現象を惹起するAGE受容体の意義の解明は重要である。現在、AGE受容体としてRAGE、Galectin-3、及びスカベンジャー受容体ファミリーの一員であるSR-Aの3つの受容体が提唱されている。平成12年度は以下の結果を得た。 ヒトGalectin-3をCHO細胞に過剰発現させた細胞はAGE蛋白を受容体依存的に活発に取り込み分解(endocytosis)した。取り込み経路はアセチルLDLや酸化LDLと酷似したものであると考えられた。このin vitro実験からは、Galectin-3がAGE受容体として機能していることが示唆されたが、Galecin-3遺伝子欠損マウスの腹腔マクロファージによるAGE蛋白の取り込み・分解活性は野生型のそれと著変を認めなかった。現在、遺伝子欠損マウスの実験を繰り返して、in vivoでのGalectin-3の機能を明確している。RAGEを高く発現しているヒト肺胞II型細胞であるA549細胞に対して、AGE蛋白は容量依存的な飽和曲線で結合した。又、AGEリガンドの本細胞への結合はNFkBの誘導を起こした。Class Aスカベンジャー受容体であるSR-Aに加えて、Class Bスカベンジャー受容体に属するCD36およびSR-BIを高発現したCHO細胞がAGE蛋白を効率的に取り込むことから、CD36およびSR-BIもAGE受容体として機能している可能性が示唆された。
