Research Abstract	平成12年度においては、COEプロジェクトとして開始一年目であるにもかかわらず、数々の特筆すべき成果を上げた。第一に、長らく不明であったクラススイッチ制御遺伝子としてAID(Activation-Induced cytidine Deaminase)がマウスとヒトにおいてクラススイッチおよび体細胞突然変異の両方に必須の因子であることを明かにした。第二に、PD-1遺伝子の欠失により拡張型心筋症が起こることを明かにした。また、第三に、代謝型グルタミン酸受容体の結晶化と三次構造を明かにし、構造に基づくdrug designの道を開いた。各グループの具体的成果を下記に記す。本庶は、クラススイッチ及び体細胞突然変異に不可欠な因子としてAIDを同定し、RNAエディティングが遺伝子DNA再構成に必須であるという極めて複雑精緻な免疫制御の機構を明かにした。また、同時にヒトの遺伝病高IgM血症二型がAIDの遺伝子の突然変異であるということをフランスのネッカー病院との共同研究で明かにし、アレルギー等、クラススイッチ制御のメカニズム解明に向けて大きな一歩を踏み出した。さらにはPD-1のリガンドPD-L1ならびにPD-L2を同定し、PD-1の免疫系の負の制御因子であることを確立した。さらにPD-1の遺伝子破壊マウスを作り、これがBALB/c系統のネズミでは拡張型心筋症を発症することを示した(湊との共同研究)。このネズミでは心臓特異的自己抗体を産生し、この沈着により病気が起こることを証明した。湊は、1.ヒトγδT細胞の代表的抗原であるピロ燐酸誘導体を多数合成し、その認識に必要な基本的化学構造を明らかにするとともに、結核菌由来抗原(イソペンテニル・ピロ燐酸)の100倍の比活性を持つ合成抗原を得た。またこの認識には、特定のγδTCR鎖(Vγ1Jγ1.2/Vδ2)とゲノムにコードされるJg1.2配列が必須であることを示した。2.低分子G蛋白Rap1が、インテグリンによる抗原提示細胞との免疫シナプス形成を介したT細胞活性化の主たる制御因子であること、SPA-1遺伝子破壊によるRap1の制御失調により、T細胞応答の異常(アナジーと免疫記憶障害)、自己抗体の出現、顕著な多臓器性随外造血などを伴うヒトの原因不明疾患である骨髄異形成症に酷似した病態が発生することを確認した。北は、動脈硬化の進展、プラークの破綻に重要な役割を担う酸化LDLのマクロファージにおける新たな受容体SR-PSOXをみいだした。この分子のリガンド特異性を明らかにすると共に、実際にヒトの動脈硬化病変にて強く発現されていることをみいだした。また、血小板活性化は動脈硬化の最終段階で血栓形成を惹起し、臨床的な血管障害の発症の成因となる。この分子機構を解明するため、形質膜透過型血小板を用いた顆粒放出測定系を確立し、α顆粒放出にsmall GTPase Rab4が必須であり、細胞質必須因子を精製した結果PKCと同定した。さらに透過型血小板凝集測定系を確立し、small GTPase Rhoが必須であることを見出した。中西は、中西は神経ネットワークの中の特定の神経細胞を除去する方法(IMCT法)を発展させ、1.基底核のコリン作働性神経細胞がドーパミン細胞と協調して運動のバランスを制御している事を明らかにし、パーキンソン病治療の改善にも関わる重要な事実を示した。2.同法を用い、網膜のstarburst細胞が視覚情報の方向選択性とその結果生じる眼振反射を決定しているという神経情報の新しい統合機構を明らかにした。3.興奮性神経伝達の中心的な受容体である代謝型グルタミン酸受容体のグルタミン酸結合部位の結晶化と三次構造を明らかにし、構造に基づくdrug designの道を開いた。
