| Research Abstract |
Epigenetics is a reversible mechanism. Thus, we investigated epigenomic restoration for a representative autistic disorder, Rett syndrome. We initially planned to develop a chemical to restore epigenomic status in a gene-specific manner. However, we realized that genes that require epigenomic restoration were relatively many. Therefore, we searched chemicals with a global effect. As a result, we demonstrated that a drug for epilepsy of Rett syndrome had a global effect with up-regulation of many genes. Furthermore, we identified more effective new chemicals, suggesting that these will be new drug candidates for Rett syndrome when we confirm the effect in our newly established patients-derived iPS cells.
