Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To expand the repertories of anti-angiogenic inhibitors, we focused on intracellular trafficking of cholesterol in endothelial cells. In this research project, we found that cullin-3 (CUL3)/BTBP/substrates axes were essential for proper distribution of cholesterol in endothelial cells as well as angiogenesis. Our results suggest the possibility of the protein complex as a promising target for the development of new anti-angiogenic inhibitors.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究で見出したユビキチンリガーゼ複合体依存的な細胞内コレステロール局在制御は今まで無い新しい血管新生阻害剤のシーズ開発標的として強く期待される。コレステロールの可視化技術の発展と相乗的に研究開発が進展していくと思われる。
