Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Frailty has been suggested to increase the risk of developing dementia, the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we focused on intra-organ communication coordinated by exosomes and aim to elucidate the mechanism of dementia caused by frailty. In this study, we isolated myoblasts from young and aged mouse skeletal muscle. I established primary cultures of myoblasts. I also established a collecting method of exosomes from myofiber that differentiated from myoblast. The exosomes were investigated. It was found that young and aged mouse derived-exosome have differences in protein concentration per particle, as well as differences in glycosylation. This study suggests that aging-induced alterations in the properties of exosomes are involved in aging-related diseases.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、老化によって分泌されるエクソソームの性質が大きく変化していることが明らかとなった。細胞間コミュニケーションに重要な役割を果たすエクソソームの性質が臓器間連関に大きく影響していると考えられる。本研究から、老化に伴うエクソソームの性質変化が老化関連疾患の解明や老化の新たな診断法の開発に大きく貢献する。
