Introduction

 The Department of Endocrinology and Diabetes was established in 2003. Under the leadership of Professor Arima, we provide fine care for patients with metabolic diseases and hormonal disorders such as pituitary dysfunction and thyroid diseases. We have also been performing basic and clinical research on endocrinology and metabolic diseases.

Research Projects

1. Elucidating Pathogenesis of Familial Neurohypophysial Diabetes Insipidus
 Familial neurohypophysial diabetes insipidus (FNDI) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease caused by mutations in arginine vasopressin (AVP) gene locus, mostly in neurophysin II-encoding region. Patients with FNDI manifest progressive polyuria several months or years after birth. In the AVP neurons of FNDI model mice, mutant proteins are confined to a certain compartment of endoplasmic reticulum (ERAC: Endoplasmic reticulum-associated compartment). In contrast, the failure of ERAC formation results in increase of ER stress in chronically dehydrated or aged FNDI mice, leading to cell death of AVP neurons. The meaning of ERAC formation is to maintain morphology and function of ER and relieve ER stress by segregating aberrant proteins accumulated in the ER. We are studying the mechanism of ERAC formation.

2. Analysis of the Mechanism of Arginine Vasopressin (AVP) Secretion
 AVP is secreted via exocytosis. The precise mechanism underlying the exocytosis of AVP remains to be elucidated. We have developed a mouse embryonic stem cell-derived AVP neuron culture system to investigate the molecular mechanism of AVP secretion by knockdown or overexpression experiments. Using this system, we recently reported that tomosyn negatively regulates AVP secretion.

3. Analysis of the Pathogenesis of Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome (ODS) and Hyponatremia
 ODS is a serious demyelination disease commonly associated with a rapid correction of chronic hyponatremia. We reported dexamethasone prevents ODS by inhibiting the disruption of the blood-brain barrier that is caused by the rapid correction of hyponatremia and that minocycline prevents ODS by inhibiting the activation of microglia in a rat model of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). We recently reported that chronic hyponatremia causes neurologic and psychologic impairments. The reduction of serum [Na+] in chronic hyponatremia induces gait disturbances, memory impairment and decreased long-term potentiation (LTP) at hippocampal CA3-CA1 synapses as an underlying mechanism of memory impairment.

4. Research on Lymphocytic Hypophysitis, Including Lymphocytic Infundibulo-neurohypophysitis (LINH)
 We found that rabphilin-3A is a major autoantigen in LINH and that autoantibodies to rabphilin-3A may serve as a biomarker for the diagnosis of LINH. We have also reported that Rab GDI alpha is a candidate autoantigen involved in isolated adrenocorticotropin deficiency (IAD). To evaluate the involvement of rabphilin-3A in the pathogenesis of LINH, we are studying on the animal model of LINH.

5. Regenerative Medicine for Hypothalamus and Adenohypophysis
 The aims of this research topic are to prepare hypothalamic and pituitary tissues from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, and to establish effective transplantation techniques with clinical application as the goal. The hypothalamic-pituitary system is essential for maintaining life and for controlling systemic homeostasis, but is negatively affected by various diseases, resulting in serious symptoms. For replicating the complex and precise control of the hypothalamic-pituitary system, there are hopes for regenerative medicine using pluripotent cells. We have previously established techniques for preparing hypothalamic vasopressin cells and anterior pituitary tissue from murine embryonic stem cells. Now we are trying to develop techniques for producing such cells from human iPS cells; to establish transplantation techniques; to carry out preclinical research with disease-model mammals; and to demonstrate the efficacy of transplantation, making progress toward clinical application.

6. Regulatory Mechanism of Energy Balance
 Homeostatic regulation maintains our body weight constant. Dysregulation of homeostasis for body weight leads to obesity or emaciation. Although obesity, causing lifestyle-related diseases, already spreads at the pandemic level in the world, an effective medical treatment for obesity remains to be settled. Therefore, it is warranted to elucidate the pathogenesis of obesity, and to establish a method of treatment for obesity. We research the molecular mechanism in the pathogenesis of obesity by using Cre-lox system and hypothalamic organotypic cultures maintaining the intrinsic properties in vivo.

7. Analysis of Mechanisms of Hormone Secretion from Enteroendocrine and Pancreatic Endocrine Cells by Nutrition and the Role of these Hormones in Glucose Metabolism
 Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are incretin hormones secreted from enteroendocrine cells by nutrients such as glucose to stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells. Glucagon secreted from pancreatic alpha-cells increases blood glucose levels, counterbalancing the action of insulin. We are now investigating the mechanisms for sensing nutrients, especially the monosaccharides glucose and fructose, in enteroendocrine cells and pancreatic endocrine cells using several lines of genetically modified mice.

8. Clinical Study of Obesity and Diabetes
 To elucidate pathophysiology of type 1 diabetes, we have been performing a large-scale registry study. We have also been working on IoT and AI techniques, which could be beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
