  • A novel model of the non-obese diabetes and investigation of immune abnormality,2019.04 - 2022.03,A novel model of the non-obese diabetes and investigation of immune abnormality

    The chronic inflammation caused by obesity is thought to be the underlying pathology of type 2 diabetes and its complications. Elucidation of the mechanism of inflammation-induced insulin resistance is important in the prevention of intervention in metabolic syndrome. We establish a novel animal model for non-obese diabetes and uncover a link between glucose metabolism and inflammatory response.
    5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is a natural amino acid and the first precursor of heme biosynthesis. 5-ALA or heme is associated with glucose metabolism in vivo. We previously showed that 5-ALA synthase ALAS1 heterozygous (Alas1+/-) mice displayed insulin resistance, which was cured by 5-ALA administration.
    Here, we test whether 5-ALA have any potential effect on innate immune system. Alas1+/- mice exhibited reduced inflammatory responses and 5-ALA administration increased ROS production in neutrophils. These findings show that 5-ALA is a potential therapeutic target against metabolic syndrome.

  • Enhancement of antitumor effect of IL-21 by improving cancer microenvironment,2019.04 - 2020.03,Enhancement of antitumor effect of IL-21 by improving cancer microenvironment

    Clinical trials of the treatment of malignant melanoma with IL-21 have been conducted, but to date no significant effect has been obtained. The present study was carried out on the basis that IL-21 may suppress activation of dendritic cells in tumor microenvironment and suppress activation of lymphocytes. Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells were newly found to be differentiated into five stages, and it was found that IL-21 arrests differentiation into mature dendritic cells at the third stage. We have comprehensively analyzed the patterns of genes expressed at this time, and are currently examining its function. In addition, in experiments using mice, it was possible to observe a decrease in immune response due to suppression of dendritic cells due to overexpression of IL-21.

  • Enhancement of anti-tumor immunity with membrane-bound interleukin 12 (IL-12),2018.04 - 2021.03,Enhancement of anti-tumor immunity with membrane-bound interleukin 12 (IL-12)

    IL-12 is an important cytokine for the induction of Th1 cell-mediated immunity. There are secretory and membrane-bound types of IL-12, and we have reported that membrane-bound IL-12 exhibits stronger Th1 inducibility than the secretory type. Therefore, we thought that regulation of membrane-bound IL-12 expression might promote anti-tumor immunity mediated by Th1 response. To this end, we first attempted to elucidate the secretory mechanism of membrane-bound IL-12, and found that a proteolytic enzyme called ADAM17 may be indirectly involved. Membrane-bound IL-12 is expected to be associated with some molecule that is cleaved by ADAM17 and is currently being searched for that molecule.

  • Establishment of separation method for immunosuppressive neutrophils and antitumor neutrophils in renal cancer and bladder cancer,2018.04 - 2020.03,Establishment of separation method for immunosuppressive neutrophils and antitumor neutrophils in renal cancer and bladder cancer

    In renal cancer patients, immunosuppressive neutrophils called myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) appear due to cancerous chronic inflammation. On the other hand, intravesical BCG instillation therapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer induces strong inflammation and provides a strong anti-tumor immune response. In this study, we investigated the BCG-induced inflammatory response and tried to find the indicators of neutrophil-like cells associated with anti-tumor immune response. As a result, no increase in MDSCs was observed during the BCG treatment. While, the expression of HLA-II and CXCL10 were increased in neutrophil-like cells in urine. Since it is known that HLA-II and CXCL10 induce activation of the adaptive immune system, it was considered that they could be useful indicators of anti-tumor neutrophil-like cells.
