Outline of Final Research Achievements

We analyzed the intestinal site-specific gene profiles of CCK-producing cells and elucidated a novel regulatory mechanism of GLP-1 secretion by CA8. We also investigated the physiological significance of GPR120 expressed in enteroendocrine cells. Analysis of intestinal-specific GPR120 knockout mice suggested that suppression of intestinal GPR120 signaling contributes to the improvement of insulin resistance and fatty liver by reducing GIP secretion via CCK action under a high-fat diet. Furthermore, medium-chain fatty acids reduce obesity and increased insulin resistance during high-fat diet intake by inhibiting the long-chain fatty acid - GPR120 - CCK secretory pathway and suppressing GIP secretion during long-chain fatty acid intake via CCK action.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

肥満・2型糖尿病患者の数は増加の一途をたどっており、全世界的に重要な健康問題であるが、有効かつ安全性の高い治療法は未だ確立されていないのが現状である。本研究で注目しているインクレチンを含めた腸管内分泌ホルモンはその治療標的として大変有望であり、その分泌・作用の詳細な制御機構を解明することで、糖尿病・肥満症の新たな治療法の開発、創薬につながることが期待され研究の意義は大きい。
