Research Abstract	(1)大脳皮質形成におけるHGFおよびc-Metの発現解析大脳皮質層構造形成過程で最も重要なE14からE18までの間に、HGFとc-Metの発現がダイナミックに変動していくことを、競合的RT-PCR法および多重免疫染色で明かとした。特に神経突起に対するc-Metの免疫染色性は一過性であることから、HGFのneuritegenesisに対する一過性の機能が示唆された。 (2)大脳皮質ニューロンに対する種々のin vitro神経栄養作用 (1)HGFは初代培養大脳皮質ニューロンの血清除去による神経細胞死をを濃度依存性に阻止した。 (2)HGFは初代培養大脳皮質ニューロンのmigrationを促進した。 (3)一方HGFは大脳皮質ニューロンおよびその前駆細胞の早い増殖は促進しなかった。 (3)網膜形成過程におけるHGFおよびc-Metの発現解析 HGFとc-Metは網膜形成過程で発現制御をうけ、光受容体における発現は成体における重要な機能を示唆した。 (4)神経変性疾患、中でも筋萎縮性側索硬化症(ALS)モデルマウスに対するHGFの機能の解析 (1)神経特異的HGF発現トランスジェニックマウス(HGF-Tg)を作成した。 (2)ALSモデルトランスジェニックマウス(ALS-Tg)とHGF-Tgのダブルトランスジェニックマウスを作成した。 (3)上記の解析結果、HGF遺伝子をALS-Tgの神経細胞に直接長期間発現させることで、ALSの進行を遅延し延命効果が得られることが明らかとなった。 (5)HGFファミリー分子(HLP)の新規神経栄養因子としての同定と発現解析 (1)HLPは微量の他の神経栄養因子共存下でニワトリ胚の末梢神経節の神経突起伸長と細胞移動を促進した。この作用はHLPの受容体Ronの細胞外ドメインとIgGのFcとの融合蛋白(Ron-Fc)で阻害されたことから、HLPと微量の他の神経栄養因子による神経栄養活性はRon/HLP受容体のシグナルに依存していることが明らかとなった。 (2)マウス末梢神経節におけるHGF,HLP,c-Met,Ronの発生過程における発現解析を行った。
