| Research Abstract |
Accumulation of misfolded protein is a common pathological feature of many neurodegenerative disorders. Activation of autophagy is focused on an effective therapy against these diseases. Based on safety, I tried to perform clinical application of autophagy-inducing factors derived from food supplements. I first screened autophagy-inducing supplements from a food library using green fluorescence protein fused with microtuble associated protein 1 light chain 3, and identified three novel autophagy-induceing factors.
I also contributed to clarify protective effects of curcumin, an effective component of the curry spice tumeric, and known as an autophagy-inducing food supplement, against Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease caused by endoplasmic reticulum stress. Furthermore, I demonstrated that chloroquine, which is used as an anti-maralia drug and well-known as an anti-autophagy compound, attenuates endoplasmic reticulum stress of the same disease by blocking protein translation.
