Outline of Final Research Achievements

Activation of peripheral T cells is tightly restricted to prevent induction of auto immunological diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here we report molecular details of an orphan immune regulator, death receptor 6 (DR6/TNFRSF21) in lupus-like disease progression in mice.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究成果により、自己免疫性炎症性疾患の一つである全身性エリテマトーデスのモデルマウス病態発症制御において、DR6分子を介したメカニズムの存在が示唆された。本知見から、DR6分子が上記疾患の治療標的の一つとなりうる可能性が示唆された。
