Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We found that the gene for Amphiregulin (AREG) and the Amphiregulin protein were induced in LUVA cells, a mast cell line, via the endoplasmic reticulum stress responsive transcription factor ATF4 under endoplasmic reticulum stress stimulation. In addition, in vitro experiments using LUVA cells stimulated with recombinant IL-12/23 revealed that comprehensive gene expression analysis of LUVA cells under co-stimulation with IL-12 and IL-23 revealed the expression of ATP synthesis coupled electron transport、ATP synthesis coupled electron transport. This result suggested that IL-12/23 inhibition might contribute to the mechanism of mast cell activation and fibrotic stenosis via IgE-independent pathway.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
炎症性腸疾患の一つであるクローン病は、慢性・再発性の腸管炎症と、炎症による狭窄・穿孔が患者の生活の質や予後の影響する表現型として知られる疾患である。本研究の結果で、線維性狭窄形成に寄与することが知られる肥満細胞への小胞体ストレスの影響や、線維性狭窄予防に期待される、IL-12やIL-23パスウェイ阻害治療のその分子生物学的機序に関わりううる基礎的結果を得ることができた。今後の新規治療や、線維性狭窄の予測因子同定などにつながりうる結果である。
