Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Some methods for inducing Mφ-like cells from canine PBMC were performed, and Mφ-like cells were evaluated. All Mφ-like cells derived from PBMC appeared to be morphologically, functionally, and genetically Mφ. It seems that the method using an inducer in the FBS-free medium can collect Mφ most efficiently. RNA-seq was performed as a comprehensive gene analysis of these Mφs, and the expressed genes were compared. When the obtained Mφ was co-cultured with canine transitional cell carcinoma cells, it was considered that the antitumor effect might be enhanced. This study suggests that Mφ-like cells induced in FBS-free medium can be sufficiently used for future experiments and may enhance the antitumor effect on canine tumors.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
犬のマクロファージを効率よく分離・培養する方法を開発し、得られたマクロファージの正常解析を実施した。これらのマクロファージの発現遺伝子はマウス・ラット・ヒトと異なる部分が多く認められた。また、マクロファージには間接的な抗腫瘍効果があることが予想された。腫瘍微小環境における犬のマクロファージの役割が少しづつ判明してきている。
