Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The SHRSP5/Dmcr rat and the parental strain rats, SHR and WKY, differ in the severity of high-fat and cholesterol (HFC) diet-induced liver fibrosis. In this study, we analyzed liver bile acids in these three strains of rats. All strains of rats showed an increase in glycine-conjugated bike acids (G-BA) and a decrease in taurine-conjugated bile acids (T-BA) by administration of the HFC diet. In particular, T-BA values were the lowest in SHRSP5/Dmcr compared with SHR and WKY. It ws suggested that the ability to conjugate bile acids and the synthesis and accumulation of G-BA by HFC diet are involved in liver fibrosis in NASH.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究課題では、capillary LC/MS/MSによる高分離かつ高感度な分析方法を構築し、HFC食摂取による肝線維化の重症度が異なる3系統ラットの胆汁酸プロファイリング分析を行った。 3系統を比較することで、HFC食摂取による肝臓中胆汁酸組成の変化とWKY、SHR、SHRSP5/Dmcrの亜系統化の過程における肝臓中胆汁酸組成の変化が示され、これらの組成変化が肝線維化の進展と重症化に関与していることが明らかとなった。本研究によりNASHの予防や早期診断、重症化予防のための食事法や診断方法開発の一助となる知見が得られた。
