Research Abstract

本年度は、これまでの研究成果に基づいて得られたヒト子宮内膜side population(endometrial SP : ESP)細胞の組織幹細胞特性について、細胞分子生物学的アプローチを用いて、より詳細な検討を行った
分離したESPのin vitroでの単独培養は困難であったが、様々な細胞との共培養系ではESPは増殖可能であり、特にOP-9細胞をフィーダーにした場合、安定的な増殖が得られただけでなく、ESPは神経様細胞などの異なる細胞系譜へ分化転換をし得た。
異なるヒト3個体のESPおよびnon-ESPよりRNAを抽出し、GeneChip^<【○!R】>による遺伝子発現プロファイリング解析を行ったところ、non-ESPに比べてESPに強く発現している遺伝子群に、ABCG2やCD34などの一般幹細胞マーカーが含まれていた。
ESPおよびnon-ESPを免疫不全マウスへ移植したところ、ESP移植部位において、プロゲステロン受容体が陽性の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。現時点で24個体に移植を行ったが、内膜組織の各コンポーネント(例えば血管のみ)より成る様々な組織も構築されることが判明し、その多様性はnon-ESPに比べてESPで高かった。
以上、in vitro培養実験、発現遺伝子プロファイル、および移植実験の結果から、ESPが高い幹細胞的特性を有することが明らかとなった。同様のアプローチで雌性生殖器官のひとつである子宮筋よりSPを分離し解析した結果、子宮筋SPも組織幹細胞ポテンシャルを有するというデータを得ている。
このように雌性生殖器の幹細胞は、生殖器由来疾患の発生・進展機構の解明、ならびに各組織に共通する組織再生メカニズムの解明に貢献するのみならず、雌性生殖器の機能不全・欠損に対する再生医療における医療資源になり得る可能性が示された。
