Outline of Final Research Achievements

Epidemiological evidence suggests that intrauterine undernutrition is closely associated with Metabolic syndrome in adulthood.
We repoted that Endoplasmic reticulum stress was eleverated in adipose tissue and hepatic tissue in adult mice model undernourished in utero, then by treatment with secondary bille acid(Tauroursodeoxyclic acid;TUDCA)obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease were ameliorated possibly.Especially,in hepatic tissue, we performed a microarray analysis and focused on two genes (Cidea and Cidec) that are enhancers of lipid droplet sizes in hepatocytes , which would be programmed by undernourishment in utero.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

我が国では、妊孕世代の女性のやせが増加している。一方で、低出生体重児は増加の一途をたどっており、妊娠中のエネルギー摂取不足は、その一因であると考えれ、我が国において、児の将来のメタボリックシンドロームの罹患率の上昇が危惧される。小胞体ストレス緩和は、胎生期低栄養に由来する、メタボリックシンドロームの低減を目指した治療の候補として期待される。また、メタボリックシンドロームの肝臓での表現型である非アルコール性肝脂肪肝においても、Cidea,Cidec遺伝子発現の増加をもたらすメカニズムをさらに解析することで、先制医療のターゲット候補を見出すことが期待される。
