Outline of Research at the Start

自閉症は、社会的関係等に障害が認められる頻度が高い神経発達障害の1つである。病態の分子メカニズムはほとんど不明であり、多数の患者を説明できる明確な分子病因は同定されていない。本研究では、野生型マウスおよび申請者が独自に開発した「妥当性の高い」ヒト型自閉症モデルマウス群を用いて、単一細胞レベルの解析を実施し、社会行動の制御に関わる神経細胞の機能解析、および社会行動を制御する神経回路の同定および同定した回路の操作の基盤技術を開発する。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The molecular mechanisms of the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorders are largely unknown. To date, the certain molecular etiology has not been identified that can explain a large number of patients with autism spectrum disorders. The aim of this study was to analyze the neuronal functions involved in the control of social behavior and to identify the neural circuits that regulate social behavior. During the study period, the following results were identified. (1) We found that oxytocin restores abnormal social behavior in POGZ mutant mice, a mouse model of autism spectrum disorder. 2) We found that POGZ binds to the promoter of the oxytocin receptor gene and regulates its expression. (3) We found that the activity of anterior cingulate cortex neurons activated by social activities is important for the regulation of social behavior in mice.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

自閉スペクトラム症は社会的関係等に障害が認められる頻度が高い神経発達障害の1つであり、その解決が求められているが、病態の分子メカニズムはほとんど不明であり、多数の患者を説明できる明確な分子病因は同定されていない。本研究により、自閉スペクトラム症の中核症状である社会的関係の障害の分子病態の一端を単一細胞レベルで明らかにすることができた。本研究の成果は、自閉スペクトラム症の治療を可能にする戦略の構築に資するものであり、社会的急務の中枢疾患の解決を加速する点で学術的・社会的意義が大きいものである。
