Research Abstract

研究年度2年目の平成15年度においては、雌性生殖器官組織のなかで子宮内膜組織に焦点を絞り、その成体幹細胞の同定・分離・培養技術のさらなる確立を初年度に引き続き行った。併せてそれらの細胞生物学的特性の解析に着手した。
1.子宮内膜幹細胞の同定・分離とその内膜組織構築能の検討
初年度では、Hoechst33342によるSide Population (SP)分離方法を用いて、子宮内膜の幹細胞様細胞集団を分離し得た。このSP細胞集団はCD31/CD45の発現パターンにより+/+,+/-,-/-の3つの分画に分けられた。免疫不全マウスへのSP細胞移植実験では、構築頻度は低いものの、SP移植部位に腺管構造を有する子宮内膜様組織の再構築が認められた。
2.幹細胞維持および分化のためのin vitro培養系の確立
自己複製能と相対的な不死化能の証明のため、各種増殖因子を含んだ培養カクテルやマトリゲルを含めた細胞外基質存在下でSP細胞の長期培養系の確立を目指したが、in vitroの培養は極めて困難であることが判明した。現在、共培養を中心とした新しい培養システムの開発に加えて、さらに様々な培養カクテルを用いてin vitro培養が可能か否かを検証中であり、これは次年度も引き続いて行う。
3.子宮内膜幹細胞特異的発現遺伝子群のプロファイリング
内膜SP細胞およびnon-SP細胞よりRNAを抽出し、常法に従い蛍光ラベルした後、GeneChip (Affymetrix社)とハイブリダイズさせ、遺伝子発現プロファイリング解析を行った。現時点の解析結果では、Non-SP細胞に比べてSP細胞に強く発現している遺伝子群にABCG2遺伝子が含まれていた。SP細胞特性を規定するABCG2が強発現していることは、戦略も含めた本実験の妥当性を支持しており、本システムを用いて次年度以降もさらに検討を重ねていく。
