Introduction

Our research projects include clinical and basic research on various types of pulmonary diseases. The target diseases are lung cancer, interstitial pneumonia, pulmonary infections, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), etc. The aim of our projects is to create new treatment strategies for patients with these pulmonary diseases to improve their outcomes. We are actively involved in next-generation therapies including gene therapies, molecular target therapies, and immunomodulatory treatment.

Research Projects

1. Oncology [Basic Science]...

PIs: T. Hase, MD. PhD.; I. Tanaka, MD. PhD.
Aim of my research is clarifying molecular pathogenesis of lung cancer and malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and then translating such knowledge into the clinic by developing new early detection, chemoprevention, and therapeutic strategies. Main project I have been working on as a principal investigator is to identify therapeutic targets that substantially contribute to malignant phenotypes of lung cancer and MPM. So far, we have identified several such targets that include ZEB1, EpCAM, TIMELESS and BMAL1. Now, we are setting up genome-wide approaches to identify more vital targets for the two diseases.

2. Oncology [Clinical Study]

PI: M. Morise, MD, PhD.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide and the number of patients with MPM has been increasing. In addition, elderly patients have been becoming major population of these malignancies, and the optimal treatment selection in those has not been fully established because of their heterogeneity in feasibility of systemic chemotherapy.
Our research is aimed to establish the algorithm of optimal treatment selection in elderly patients with thoracic malignancies. As of today, we performed the multicenter cohort study clarifying the non-fit population for platinum-based combination chemotherapy in elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (presented in European Society for Medical Oncology, 2014). In the study, non-hematological toxicity such as chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) was the major reason of early treatment termination without progressive disease.
We are also investigating the new strategy to control CINV, which is an important issue especially in elderly patients with thoracic malignancy as mentioned above. We are now planning to conduct a prospective cohort study identifying unproven useful bio-markers for predicting the risk of CINV.

3. Microenvironment of Lung fibrosis and Lung Cancer

PIs: N. Hashimoto, MD, PhD.; K.Sakamoto MD PhD.
Heterogeneity of fibroblasts such as bone-marrow progenitors and endothelial-derived fibroblasts through endothelial-mesenchymal transition (Endo-MT) is shown in pulmonary fibrosis. Heterogeneity of fibroblast provides tissue micornvironment under which pulmonary fibrosis itself progresses. The patients with emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis often have lung cancer. Emphysema/fibrosis might provides tissue microenvironment, in which many signaling are active, and consequently affect development of lung cancer and its malignant phenotypes such as epithelial/endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Now I am projecting the research to establish new therapeutic strategy targeting for the shared mechanism in development of emphysema/fibrosis and cancer. We are searching the critical molecules to negatively regulate tissue microenvironment, consequently controlling not only chronic lung disease but also lung cancer.

4. Allergy and Immunology

PI: K. Wakahara, MD, PhD.
The immune system usually protects us against disease. However, in lung diseases such as asthma, COPD, interstitial pneumonia and cancer, aberrant immune system can be either a trigger or a modifier of the disease progressions.
Our projects:
We are trying to examine inflammatory phenotypes of various lung/airway diseases. Inflammatory cells obtained from lung, BALF, sputum and blood are analyzed by multicolor flow cytometry. Identifying rare but pathogenic cell populations within local site gives us new insights of the lung diseases.
We are trying to clarify the role of basophils on airway inflammation. Basophils are rare leukocytes involved in allergic diseases. We previously showed that basophils can exacerbate allergic airway inflammation by direct stimulation of effector T cells. Furthermore, our observations suggest that basophils enhance inflammation beyond Th2.
We are seeking appropriate asthma management in clinic. Inhaled corticosteroid and long acting beta 2 stimulant reduce the rates of death and hospitalization due to asthma. However, natural history of this common disease and long term effects of such medications are not well defined. We are studying long term change of lung function in asthmatic patients to evaluate our treatment.

5. Respiratory Tract Infections

PI: Y. Shindo, MD, PhD.
"Creation of the Optimal Treatment Strategy for Respiratory Tract Infections"
Pneumonia is a common disease and one of the lethal diseases. In order to achieve the appropriate initial treatment, appropriate assessment and classification of patients with pneumonia at diagnosis is essential.
Our group is currently taking a multidimensional approach to pneumonia, including clinical epidemiology, microbiological epidemiology, and basic research on infection immunity and immunotherapies. As one of the representative work, we performed a multicenter prospective study on adult patients with pneumonia in Japan (Shindo Y, et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2013; 188: 985-995). This study identified six important risk factors for drug-resistant pathogens and proposed a new clinical predictive rule for initial antibiotic selection. Furthermore, we clarified the risk factors for mortality in pneumonia patients who received appropriate antibiotic treatment (Shindo Y, et al. Lancet Infect Dis 2015; 15: 1055-1065). This study elucidated patients who may need adjunctive therapy other than antibiotic treatment. Using pathogens identified from patients with pneumonia, molecular epidemiological research has been also performed with microbiologists (Ito R, et al. J Clin Microbiol 2015; 53:879-886). In addition, our member is working on basic research on immunotherapies and immunological mechanisms with US researchers, in connection with the findings of our clinical research (Shindo Y, et al. J Leukoc Biol 2016 (in press)). Our group is going to develop these multidimensional research to create the future treatment strategy for pneumonia and other respiratory tract infections.

6. Bronchoscopy and Intervention

PI: S. Okachi, MD.
I am mainly engaged in clinical practice and clinical research of respiratory medicine. In particularly, I am concerned with bronchoscopy. We perform more than 300 cases of fiberoptic bronchoscopy every year. From January to December 2014, we performed 57 cases of EBUS-TBNA (Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration) for mediastinal lymphnodes and 140 cases of EBUS-GS (Endobronchial Ultrasonography with a Guide Sheath) for pulmonary lesions. We perform other procedures such as local anesthetic thoracoscopy or bronchial occlusion using EWS (Endoscopic Watanabe Spigot) in daily practice. As clinical research, we have investigated efficacy and safety of midazolam for sedation during bronchoscopy (Respir Investig. 2014), echoic features of lymph nodes with sarcoidosis determined by endobronchial ultrasound (Intern Med. 2013), safety and usefulness of EBUS-TBNA in older patients (Geriatr Gerontol Int. 2013), and so on. We are aiming to perform safer, more accurate and more painless bronchoscopic procedures through clinical practice and research.
