| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
HSP47, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident collagen-specific molecular chaperone, contributes to the overproduction of collagen in fibrotic diseases. The aim of this study was to deliver an HSP47 inhibitor peptide to the ER via the retrograde vesicular transport system. The result demonstrated that the peptide was efficiently taken up by the cell in vitro. However, accumulation of the peptides to the ER lumen has not been achieved.
