Research Abstract	がんは基本的に予防可能な疾患である。わが国では悪性新生物が死因の第一位を占め、がんの化学予防を含む第一次予防法の確立が重要である。野菜や果物に含まれるビタミン類やフラボノイド類などは発がん抑制への寄与が期待されている。一方、β-カロチンを用いた疫学介入調査では予期に反し喫煙者において肺がんの罹患率が増加することが報告された。そこで我々はβ-カロチンによる発がんに関連して、その代謝物が酸化的にPNAを損傷することを報告した(J. Biol. Chem.2000)。一方、フィチン酸(BBRC 2001)およびルテオリン(Free Redic.Res.2000)はDNA損傷性を示さない有効ながん予防物質であることを見いだした。本研究では上記の研究を発展させ、がん化学予防を安全かつ有効に推進する方法の確立を目指して、化学予防物質のDNA損傷性の検討に加え、遺伝子発現の解析の基盤となる研究を行った。クルクミンはウコン、ターメリックなどに含まれ抗酸化作用を有するが、一方、実験動物で肝細胞腺腫を生じるという報告がある。我々は、クルクミンをCYP2D6などの代謝酵素で前処理すると脱メチル化を受けてカテコール誘導体を生じ、ヒトがん関連遺伝子DNAを損傷することを解明した(Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 2002)。したがってクルクミンについては安全性の検討が必要である。さらに我々は、HPLCおよび金電極を装備した電気化学的検出器を用いて、生体内の抗酸化物質グルタチオンを極めて高感度に定量する方法を確立し(Biochim. Biophys.Acta 2002)、グルタチオン生合成およびグルタチオンペルオキシダーゼの発現などに関する研究の基盤を確立した。また抗酸化物質による遺伝子発現を蛋白レベルで解析するために、2次元電気泳動法を用いたプロテオーム解析法を確立しつつある。
