Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The principal investigator of this study has demonstrated that neurological dysfunction can be improved by inducing differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADMSCs) into neurons by either introducing a gene capable of inducing neuronal differentiation and causing strong expression, or by directly introducing a neuronal differentiation-inducing peptide, and then transplanting the cells locally into the brain or spinal cord. In this study, we aimed to clarify whether symptoms could be improved by introducing a BC-box motif peptide derived from SOCS protein into ADMSCs and then administering the ADMSCs intravenously or intrathecally, and to examine whether the effect could be further improved by combining this with enhanced blood-brain barrier permeability. We also reported that we successfully induced ADMSCs to become cholinergic neurons by introducing a BC box peptide derived from SOCS7 into ADMSCs.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
脳血管障害や脊髄損傷に対する自己の脂肪由来幹細胞(ADMSC)を用いた再生医療は日本では厚労省認可による自由診療として行われているものの、再生医療を行っている医療機関はごく少なく、有意な症状の改善効果を示した論文はほとんどない。この理由は、脳血管障害や脊髄損傷では静脈内投与で行われるため、ほとんどは脳・脊髄内へ到達できず、機能障害の改善効果が軽微であるためと考えられる。本研究では、ADMSCをニューロンへ分化誘導後に脳・脊髄内への局所移植、髄腔内投与、局所的に動注あるいは静注する方法を提案し、ADMSCを用いた神経再生医療の実現のために有意義であると考えられる。
