神経遺伝情報学
RNA病態、細胞外分子欠損症、先天性筋無力症候群、脊髄小脳変性症
当分野は、生態防御学分野を改組し、神経疾患の病態・治療基礎研究を行うセクションとして新たに発足した。当研究室では、各種神経筋疾患のRNAレベルにおける分子病態機構の解明とその制御研究を行っている。また、細胞外マトリックス分子欠損症に対するタンパク標的療法の開発研究に取り組んでいる。さらに、bioinformatics手法を用いたヒトゲノムや遺伝子データベースの解析を、ベンチトップの研究手法と融合をさせる取り組みを行っている。
- Exonic Splicing Enhancer破断変異の研究
ヒトは27,000個という限られた数の遺伝子から多様なタンパクを作るために、組織特異的また発達段階特異的なalternative splicingを行っている。alternative splicingは各遺伝子上のexonic splicing enhancers (ESE) and silencers (ESS)、ならびに、intronic splicing enhancers (ISE) and silencers (ISS)と、それらに結合する組織特異的また発達段階特異的に発現するタンパクによりコントロールされている(図1)。また、弱いスプライシングシグナルを有するエクソンでは、constitutive splicingを受けるエクソンでも、splicing cis-elementsが重要な役割を担っている。ミスセンス変異の16-20%以上がESEを破断すると予想されており、事実、変異タンパクの発現実験で機能異常を証明できないミスセンス変異はESEを破壊するスプライシング変異であることが多い。当研究室では、splicing cis-elementsを破壊する遺伝子変異を同定し、さらにそのcis-elementsに結合をする分子を決定し、さらに、aberrant splicingを矯正する薬剤のスクリーニングを行っている。
(図1 スプライシングに関与するcis-elementsとtrans-elements)
- ヒト正常splicing cis-elementsのバイオインフォマティクス研究
ヒトのbranch point consensus配列は、酵母のbranch point配列との類似性から導き出されているに過ぎず、実験的な実証が行われていない。また、polypyrimidine tractのU2AF65との結合能を予測するアルゴリズムが存在しない。さらに、エクソンの第1塩基の塩基置換によりスプライシング異常を起こす疾患関連遺伝子変異が知られているが、その分子機構は不明である(図2)。当研究室では、ヒトゲノムプロジェクトデータのバイオインフォマティクス解析と、ベンチトップの実験手法により、これらの研究を精力的に行っている。
(図2 エクソン第1塩基の変異によりエクソンスキッピングを起こす遺伝子と起こさない遺伝子)
- 先天性筋無力症候群の病態研究
先天性筋無力症候群(congenital myasthenic syndromes, CMS)は、神経筋接合部情報伝達の障害により病的な筋力低下と易疲労性が生じる疾患群である(図3)。CMSにおいて欠損を同定してきた分子は、(1) 神経終末に取り込まれたコリンからアセチルコリンを再合成するcholine acetyltransferase (ChAT)、(2) acetylcholinesteraseをシナプス基底膜にanchoringをするcollagen Q、(3) リガンド結合性イオンチャンネルのアセチルコリンレセプター(AChR)、(4) AChRを終板にclusteringさせるrapsyn、(5) AChRによる終板電位を感知し、筋活動電位を起こす骨格筋電位依存性ナトリウムチャンネルNaV1.4が挙げられる。
(図3 神経筋接合部分子)
- 先天性筋無力症候群の病態研究(続き)
Rapsyn自己重合ドメインに存在するミスセンス変異群は、rapsynの自己重合を阻害せず、AChRとの結合を阻害する(図4)。この矛盾を解明するために、当研究室では、既報告rapsynドメイン構造の見直しを行っている。
(図4 Rapsyn自己重合ドメインのN88K変異は、EGFP-rapsynの自己重合を阻害せず、rapsynのAChRとのco-clusteringを阻害する)
- 細胞外分子欠損症に対するタンパク標的療法の開発研究
Collagen Q遺伝子変異による先天性筋無力症候群(CMS)に対する治療法は存在しない。Collagen Qを持つacetylcholinesterase (asymmetric AChE)は、形質導入COS細胞から細胞外に放出される。また、asymmetric AChEはシナプス基底膜にanchoringをするシグナルを有している。従って、患者リンパ球、または、患者骨髄stem cellsに正常collagen Qと正常acetylcholinesteraseを導入することにより血中に発現をさせたasymmetric AChEが、シナプス基底膜へ移行・anchoringをすると期待をされる(図5)。この治療法のfeasibilityを探るためにノックアウトマウスを用いた研究を行っている。また、このタンパク標的療法の、他の細胞外マトリックスタンパク欠損症・異常症への応用も計画をしている。
(図5 COLQ遺伝子欠損モデル動物のリンパ球に正常COLQ遺伝子と正常ACHE遺伝子を導入し、A12-AChEを血中に発現させ、シナプス基底膜への係留を試みる)
- 脊髄小脳変性症10型・筋緊張性ジストロフィー2型の分子病態機構の研究
脊髄小脳変性症10型は常染色体優性遺伝をする進行性の小脳失調症であり、SCA10遺伝子のイントロン9のATTCT繰り返し配列の異常増大が原因である(図6)。イントロンの繰り返し配列の異常増大が原因となる疾患には、筋緊張性ジストロフィー2型におけるZNF9遺伝子イントロン1のCCTG繰り返し配列の異常増大、フリードライヒ失調症におけるFRDA遺伝子イントロン1のGAA繰り返し配列の異常増大が知られている。FRDA遺伝子変異においては、FRDA遺伝子の転写を抑制することが知られているが、SCA10遺伝子変異とZNF9遺伝子変異においてはその分子病態機構は不明であり、当研究室はその解明に取り組んである。
(図6 SCA10遺伝子のイントロン9のATTCT繰り返し配列の異常増大)
- ラット自然発症筋萎縮の原因遺伝子同定研究
- BUF/Mnaラットは、胸腺腫・筋萎縮・タンパク尿を自然発症する。筋萎縮原因遺伝子のみをACI系ラットのバックグラウンドに持つcongenic ratが松山らにより作成されており、当研究室では筋萎縮の原因遺伝子のpositional candidate gene approachによる同定を行っている。現在のcandidate regionには既知の筋疾患関連遺伝子は存在せず、筋の発生・構成に関与する新しい分子の同定が期待される。
