Research Abstract

メタボリックシンドローム(MetS)の肝での表現型である非アルコール性脂肪性肝障害(NAFLD)や非アルコール性脂肪性肝炎(NASH)は21世紀の肝臓病とも呼ばれ、先進諸国で患者数が急増している。NASHは肝硬変や肝癌に進行する不可逆性疾患であり、世界中で予防法や治療法が研究されているが、未だ有効な治療薬はみつかっていない。我々は、安全に長期摂取が可能な漢方薬や生薬、天然薬物に注目し、MetSやNASHの予防、治療に対する有効性を様々な角度から検討している。本研究では、独自に開発したMetS・NASHモデルマウスを用い、漢方薬や構成生薬の有効性をエビデンスに基づいてin vivoで検証する。平成24年度は、肥満、2型糖尿病モデルマウスである"TSODマウス"、及び新生児DIARマウスにグルタミン酸ナトリウム(MSG)を皮下投与した"DIAR-MSGマウス"の2つを新規NASH-肝細胞癌モデルマウスとして報告した。また、以前にNASH-肝細胞癌モデルとして報告したGalectin-3欠損マウスをGenetip解析し、galectin-3欠損がPDGFやIL-6のシグナル伝達との関連する事を明らかにした。また、新生児ICRマウスにMSGを皮下投与したICR-MSGマウスを用いて、生薬(紅麹)や天然薬物(スピルリナ)が肥満や高脂血症、糖尿病、NASHの予防に有効であることを見出し、スピルリナの有効成分としてフィコシアニンを、紅麹の有効成分としてモナコリンKやGABAなどを同定した。さらに、質量顕微鏡を用いて、唐辛子(Capsicum Fruits)含有成分であるカプサイシンの植物体内での局在をイメージングすることに成功した。漢方薬含有成分には低分子のものも多く、従来のマトリックスを使ったイオン化法では検出感度に問題があることから、ナノ粒子によるイオン化法を応用した新たな質量分析法の確立に取り組み、予備実験を重ねている。

Current Status of Research Progress
Current Status of Research Progress

2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.

Reason

異なる機序に基づき、ヒトに近い病理組織像を呈するMetS-NASH-発癌モデルを3種類確立した。今後、薬剤投与の効果解析を、異なるモデルで比較検討する事が可能となる。本年度は、天然薬物(スビルリナ)や、生薬(紅麹)がMetSやNASHに極めて有効であることを国際誌で報告し、有効成分としての候補物質の同定にも成功した。さらに、ナノ粒子を用いた質量顕微鏡解析が可能になりつつあり、in vivoでの実験系を用いた漢方薬・生薬の含有成分や代謝産物のイメージングに向けて、技術的基盤が整った。

Strategy for Future Research Activity

今後は、異なるモデル動物を用いて種々の漢方薬、生薬の効果解析を進めるとともに、質量顕微鏡で有効成分の生体内局在を明らかにし、薬剤の作用機序の解明を試みる。

Expenditure Plans for the Next FY Research Funding

平成24年度は解析項目を研究成果に併せて選択したが、その一部ですでに購入済みの解析キット等が使用可能であり、経費に余剰が生じた。本年度は当初計画に加えて新たな解析モデルを実験系に追加したため、マウス購入費と実験キットの追加に充当する。
