| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Transcriptome analysis of the ovaries of the oophagous shark, Lamna ditropis, was conducted at each reproductive stage. As a result, only the gene expression patterns of ovaries during the gestation period (during the formation of nutrient eggs) were divided into different groups. In addition, nutrient eggs and pre-pregnant developed follicles were subjected to proteomic analysis and compared. As a result, more than 300 proteins were not detected in nutrient eggs. These results suggest that the nutrient eggs formed during gestation is not just “unfertilized” eggs, but a material specialized for nutrient supply.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
卵食共食い型のサメ類において観察される栄養卵が単なる未受精卵ではなく、胎仔への栄養供給に特化した物質である可能性が示された。人工的に胎仔の育成をサポートすることが可能な胎内環境の再現が試みられている（サメ類の人工子宮）。本研究は人工子宮環境下における栄養供給に関する新たな知見の提供に寄与することが期待される。特に本研究から得られた情報を基に、詳細な成分分析等を行うことでこのことにより、胎仔の栄養供給方法の確立の基盤になると予想される。
