Research Abstract

Autoinflammatory disease is a new entity of inflammatory disorder, characterized by periodic fever. Although it is comprehended that autoinflammatory disease is caused by inflammatory cytokine production through dysregulated inflammasome function, many aspects are still remained to be resolved from the view point of molecular mechanism. Moreover, it is not well evaluated that multiple organ pathophysiology is all derived from dysregulated inflammasome function. Base on this fund, we develop the evaluation of autoinflammatory disease through patient-derived samples, disease-specific iPS cells, animal model experiment, and new medical technology such as next generation sequencing. These results lead to the establishment of medical care system for inflammatory disease along with the precise comprehension for autoinflammatory disease.
