研究課題

研究課題/領域番号 20K08548
研究機関慶應義塾大学

研究代表者

ヒガブ中井 アハマド  慶應義塾大学, 医学部(信濃町), 特任講師 (00507915)

研究期間 (年度) 2020-04-01 – 2023-03-31
キーワードHigh fat diet / alveolar type-2 cells / bronchioalveolar cells / fibrosis / fatty a. oxidation
研究実績の概要

We have achieved a successful High fat diet protocol that caused mice to gain weight steadily.
We have identified the effect of High fat diet on lung repair after a fibrosis-inducing injury, focusing on the effect on lung stem cells. We found that High fat diet delayed the contribution of alveolar stem cells in the repair process. It also delayed the resolution of inflammation and fibrosis compared to the standard diet.
We also examined the effect of a pharmacological inhibition of Fatty Acid Oxidation on the high fat diet-induced delay in alveolar repair and fibrosis resolution. We found that inhibiting Fatty Acid Oxidation caused reversal of the high fat diet-induced delay.

現在までの達成度 (区分)

1: 当初の計画以上に進展している

理由

The effect of high fat diet on lung repair was obvious and significant so we did not need to use large number of animals, or repeat the experiment several times.

今後の研究の推進方策

We are considering performing a comprehensive lipidomic analysis on the mice lungs to find out what are the lung metabolites that were influenced by the high fat diet, and how it affected the lung stem cells.

次年度使用額が生じた理由

We will use this amount to gather more data regarding the mechanism by which high fat diet delayed the lung repair. We will also use it to pay for the manuscript professional check and publication fees.
