Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aimed to explore the extracellular proteins in each organ that reflect glucose dysmetabolism for the application of laboratory testing. As a result, we obtained the list of such potential extracellular proteins in the skeletal muscle cells and adipocytes. In addition, we unexpectedly discovered that imeglimin, a novel oral anti-diabetic drug, facilitates glucose transport in adipocytes. These findings contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ひとえに糖尿病といってもひとりひとりその成り立ちは異なっている。この研究ではそのような糖尿病の病状評価に役立つ臨床検査指標を創出するための基礎的な研究を行った。その結果、糖代謝に関わる骨格筋細胞や脂肪細胞の代謝変化と関連した新たな分泌タンパク質をいくつか同定することができた。さらに研究の過程で、偶然、新規糖尿病治療薬の新たな作用を発見することもできた。これらは将来の糖尿病医学に貢献する可能性を秘めた知見といえる。
