Pelizaeus-Merzbacher(ペリツェウス・メルツバッハ)病(PMD)は、先天性の中枢神経髄鞘形成不全疾患である(例えば、非特許文献1参照)。PMD患者は精神、言語、運動に強い精神障害を発症し、具体的病症として、頭部振戦、眼振、歩行時のふらつき、言語障害、視神経萎縮、進行性運動障害、精神運動発達退行等がみられる。   Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is a congenital central nerve myelination dysfunction disease (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1). PMD patients develop psychiatric disorders that are strong in mind, language, and movement. Specific illnesses include head tremor, nystagmus, wobbling during walking, language disorders, optic nerve atrophy, progressive movement disorders, psychomotor developmental regression, etc. Is seen.

この髄鞘形成不全の原因の一つとしてX染色体上に存在するProteolipid protein1(PLP1)遺伝子が知られる。PLP1遺伝子の重複、変異、欠失等の異常、および、その他原因不明の異常によって、中枢神経に特異的なグリア細胞であるオリゴデンドロサイトによる髄鞘形成不全が引き起こされ、PMDを発症する(例えば、非特許文献1、2参照)。   Proteolipid protein 1 (PLP1) gene present on the X chromosome is known as one of the causes of this myelination dysfunction. Abnormalities such as duplication, mutation, and deletion of the PLP1 gene and other abnormalities of unknown cause cause myelination dysfunction due to oligodendrocytes, which are glial cells specific to the central nerve, and develop PMD (for example, Non-patent documents 1 and 2).

しかしながら、現在までのところ、PMDの有効な治療薬および治療方法はなく、その開発が待ち望まれている。

(1)PLP1過剰発現によるオリゴデンドロサイトの髄鞘形成不全
本実施例では、まず、PLP1タンパク質の機能亢進によって中枢神経において髄鞘が形成不全になる疾患のモデルとして、PLP1を過剰発現させることで、髄鞘形成不全を起こすオリゴデンドロサイトを作製した。
(1) Myelination dysfunction of oligodendrocytes due to overexpression of PLP1 In this example, first, PLP1 is overexpressed as a model of a disease in which myelination is dysplastic in the central nerve due to hyperfunction of PLP1 protein. An oligodendrocyte causing dysmyelination was prepared.

妊娠16日目のラット(Sprague-Dawley系)から胎仔の大脳を摘出した後、嗅球海馬、髄膜、血管を取り除いた。この大脳皮質を、2mlのディスパーゼ(3U/ml、Roche社)溶液に入れ、37℃のCOインキュベータ内で5分間処理した後、1mlの0.05%DNaseを加えた。再びインキュベータ内で10分間静置後、ピペッティングによってオリゴデンドロサイトを分散した。 After removing the cerebrum of the fetus from a rat (Sprague-Dawley strain) on day 16 of gestation, the olfactory bulb hippocampus, meninges, and blood vessels were removed. This cerebral cortex was placed in 2 ml of dispase (3 U / ml, Roche) solution, treated for 5 minutes in a 37 ° C. CO 2 incubator, and then 1 ml of 0.05% DNase was added. After standing again in the incubator for 10 minutes, oligodendrocytes were dispersed by pipetting.

このように単離したオリゴデンドロサイトを、10%ウシ胎児血清(FCS、Hyclone社)添加MEM培地に約1×10/10mlの細胞密度で播種し、10cm径の培養皿で初代培養した。 Thus isolated oligodendrocytes, 10% fetal calf serum (FCS, Hyclone, Inc.) were seeded at a cell density of added MEM medium at about 1 × 10 7 / 10ml, and primary culture in a culture dish 10cm diameter.

6〜7日後、初代培養細胞を5mlのダルベッコのリン酸緩衝生理食塩水で2回洗浄した。そこへ0.05%トリプシン―EDTA(2ml/培養皿)を加え、37℃のCOインキュベータ内で8分間静置した後、さらに培養皿を強く振盪して細胞を剥離させた。この細胞を、2mlの10%FCS添加MEM培地中でピペッティングにより分散させ、遠心(100×g、5分)によって3回洗浄した。次いで10%FCS添加MEM培地を加えてピペッティングした後、約8×10/10mlの細胞密度で10cmの培養皿に播種し、培養した。 Six to seven days later, the primary cultured cells were washed twice with 5 ml Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline. 0.05% trypsin-EDTA (2 ml / culture dish) was added thereto, and the mixture was allowed to stand in a CO 2 incubator at 37 ° C. for 8 minutes, and the culture dish was further shaken to detach the cells. The cells were dispersed by pipetting in 2 ml of MEM medium supplemented with 10% FCS and washed three times by centrifugation (100 × g, 5 minutes). The filtrate was pipetted by adding 10% FCS added MEM medium were seeded in culture dishes 10cm at a cell density of about 8 × 10 6 / 10ml, and cultured.

さらに6〜7日後、再度継代し、約3×10/10mlの細胞密度で播種し、培養した。 After another 6-7 days, and passaged again, they were seeded at a cell density of about 3 × 10 6 / 10ml, and cultured.

一方、ヒトPLP1遺伝子FLJ45458(TOYOBO社)を鋳型に、下記の配列を持つオリゴヌクレオチドをプライマーとして、ExTaq polymerase(タカラバイオ社)でPCR増幅した。増幅したヒトPLP1遺伝子をpRetroX-IRES-ZsGreen1ベクター(Clontech-Takara Bio社、カタログ番号632520)のマルチクローニングサイトのBamHI切断(タカラバイオ社)部位に導入し、PLP1組換えベクターを作製した。この組換えベクターを、Retro-X system (Clontech-Takara Bio社 カタログ番号631530)で産生されたレトロウイルスを介して、上述のように取得した培養オリゴデンドロサイトにトランスフェクトした。なお、pRetroX-IRES-ZsGreen1ベクターには、緑色蛍光タンパク質(GFP)の遺伝子が組み込まれており、PLP1を発現する細胞は緑色蛍光を発する。

On the other hand, PCR amplification was performed with ExTaq polymerase (Takara Bio) using the human PLP1 gene FLJ45458 (TOYOBO) as a template and an oligonucleotide having the following sequence as a primer. The amplified human PLP1 gene was introduced into the BamHI cleavage (Takara Bio) site of the multicloning site of the pRetroX-IRES-ZsGreen1 vector (Clontech-Takara Bio, catalog number 632520) to prepare a PLP1 recombinant vector. This recombinant vector was transfected into cultured oligodendrocytes obtained as described above via a retrovirus produced by the Retro-X system (Clontech-Takara Bio, catalog number 631530). The pRetroX-IRES-ZsGreen1 vector has a green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene incorporated therein, and cells expressing PLP1 emit green fluorescence.

対照群として、PLP1遺伝子を導入していない非組換えpRetroX-IRES-ZsGreen1ベクターを、上述と同様にして培養オリゴデンドロサイトにトランスフェクトした。   As a control group, non-recombinant pRetroX-IRES-ZsGreen1 vector into which no PLP1 gene was introduced was transfected into cultured oligodendrocytes in the same manner as described above.

各オリゴデンドロサイトを4%パラホルムアルデヒドで固定し、髄鞘形成のマーカーであるMBPを認識する抗MBP抗体(Millipore社、 カタログ番号AB15542、100倍希釈)を用いて髄鞘を標識した。なお、二次抗体として、Alexa Fluor 594抗マウスIgG(Molecular Probes 社、カタログ番号A-11005、500倍希釈)を用いた。その結果を図1に示す。   Each oligodendrocyte was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, and the myelin sheath was labeled with an anti-MBP antibody (Millipore, catalog number AB15542, diluted 100-fold) that recognizes MBP, a marker of myelination. As a secondary antibody, Alexa Fluor 594 anti-mouse IgG (Molecular Probes, catalog number A-11005, diluted 500 times) was used. The result is shown in FIG.

なお、図1A、B、C、または図1D、E、Fは、それぞれ、異なる波長光の下で同一の領域を観察したものである。また、図1C及び図1Fは、それぞれ、図1Aと図1B及び図1Dと図1Eの重ね合わせである。   1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, and 1F are obtained by observing the same region under different wavelength light. 1C and 1F are superpositions of FIGS. 1A, 1B, 1D, and 1E, respectively.

図A〜Cに示すように、PLP1を発現していない対照群において、GFPで標識されたオリゴデンドロサイト(図1B、矢印)は抗MBP抗体によっても標識された(図1A、矢印)。すなわち、PLP1非発現オリゴデンドロサイトは髄鞘を正常に形成していた。   As shown in FIGS. AC, in the control group not expressing PLP1, oligodendrocytes labeled with GFP (FIG. 1B, arrow) were also labeled with anti-MBP antibody (FIG. 1A, arrow). That is, PLP1 non-expressing oligodendrocytes normally formed myelin sheaths.

一方、図1D〜Fに示すように、PLP1を過剰発現しているオリゴデンドロサイトでは、GFPで標識されたオリゴデンドロサイト(図1E、矢印)は抗MBP抗体によっては標識されなかった(図1D、破線丸)。このように、PLP1を過剰発現するオリゴデンドロサイトでは髄鞘形成不全が生じていた。   On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1D to F, in oligodendrocytes overexpressing PLP1, oligodendrocytes labeled with GFP (FIG. 1E, arrows) were not labeled with an anti-MBP antibody (FIG. 1D). , Dashed circle). Thus, oligodendrocytes overexpressing PLP1 had myelination failure.

(2)MAPKK活性阻害剤による髄鞘形成不全症状の改善
次に、MAPKK活性阻害剤によって、この髄鞘形成不全症状が正常レベルまで改善されることを示す。
(2) Improvement of dysmyelination symptom by MAPKK activity inhibitor Next, it will be shown that this dysmyelination symptom is improved to a normal level by an inhibitor of MAPKK activity.

PLP1組換えベクター、および非組換えベクターをレトロウイルスを介してオリゴデンドロサイトにトランスフェクトし、その24時間後、MAPKK活性阻害剤であるU0126(1,4-Diamino-2,3-dicyano-1,4-bis (2-aminophenylthio) butadiene、10 μM、メルク社、カタログ番号662005)、またはPD98059(2'-Amino-3'-methoxyflavone、10 μM、メルク社、カタログ番号513000)のDMSO溶液を培地中に加え、37℃のCOインキュベーターで72時間インキュベートした。なお、対照群として、遺伝子導入培養オリゴデンドロサイトの培地中に同量のDMSOを加え、同様にしてインキュベートした。 PLP1 recombinant vector and non-recombinant vector were transfected into oligodendrocytes via retrovirus and 24 hours later, U0126 (1,4-Diamino-2,3-dicyano-1 which is an inhibitor of MAPKK activity) , 4-bis (2-aminophenylthio) butadiene, 10 μM, Merck, catalog number 662005) or PD98059 (2′-Amino-3′-methoxyflavone, 10 μM, Merck, catalog number 513000) in DMSO And incubated for 72 hours in a 37 ° C. CO 2 incubator. As a control group, the same amount of DMSO was added to the medium of the gene-introduced culture oligodendrocyte and incubated in the same manner.

インキュベート後のオリゴデンドロサイトを、上記のように抗MBP抗体で染色し、染色後の細胞を蛍光顕微鏡下で観察し、標識細胞を計数した。その結果を図2に示す。   After incubation, the oligodendrocytes were stained with an anti-MBP antibody as described above, the stained cells were observed under a fluorescence microscope, and the labeled cells were counted. The result is shown in FIG.

PLP1を強制発現させたオリゴデンドロサイト群を、MAPKK活性阻害剤であるU1206またはPD98059で処理すると、図2に示すように、GFP陽性オリゴデンドロサイトに対するMBP陽性細胞の割合がPLP1非発現対照群と同等のレベルまで改善された。   When the oligodendrocyte group in which PLP1 was forcibly expressed was treated with U1206 or PD98059, which is a MAPKK activity inhibitor, as shown in FIG. 2, the ratio of MBP positive cells to GFP positive oligodendrocytes was different from that in the PLP1 non-expression control group. Improved to the same level.

さらに、遺伝子導入培養オリゴデンドロサイト髄鞘形成不全症状が、上述のMAPKK活性阻害剤により改善されたことを確認するため、ウエスタンブロット法によりMBPの発現を解析した。   Furthermore, in order to confirm that the symptom of dysmyelination of the gene-transferred cultured oligodendrocyte was improved by the above-described MAPKK activity inhibitor, the expression of MBP was analyzed by Western blotting.

上記のようにMAPKK活性阻害剤で処理した培養細胞を、細胞溶解バッファー(50 mM HEPES-NaOH pH 7.5、20 mM MgCl2、150 mM NaCl、1 mM dithiothreitol、1 mM phenylmethane sulfonylfluoride、1 μg/ml leupeptin、1 mM EDTA、1 mM Na3VO4、10 mM NaF、0.5% NP-40)に懸濁した後、遠心分離した(Miyamoto et al.、 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA、103、10444-10449、2006を参照)。ここで得られた上清に、あらかじめ抗MBP抗体(500倍希釈、Millipore社、カタログ番号05-675)と結合させたプロテインG樹脂ビーズを混合し、上清中のMBPを沈降させ、回収した。この回収タンパク質を変性SDSポリアクリルアミドゲルで電気泳動し、PVDF膜に移行した後、膜上のタンパク質を抗MBP抗体(カタログ番号:05-675、Millipore社、500倍希釈)で標識し、ECL Advance Western Blotting Detection kit(GEヘルスケア バイオサイエンス社、カタログ番号RPN2135)を用いて検出した。 Cultured cells treated with the MAPKK activity inhibitor as described above were treated with cell lysis buffer (50 mM HEPES-NaOH pH 7.5, 20 mM MgCl 2 , 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 1 mM phenylmethane sulfonylfluoride, 1 μg / ml leupeptin). , 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM Na 3 VO 4 , 10 mM NaF, 0.5% NP-40) and then centrifuged (Miyamoto et al., Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA, 103, 10444-10449, 2006). The supernatant obtained here was mixed with protein G resin beads previously bound with an anti-MBP antibody (500-fold diluted, Millipore, catalog number 05-675), and MBP in the supernatant was precipitated and collected. . The recovered protein was electrophoresed on a denaturing SDS polyacrylamide gel, transferred to a PVDF membrane, and then the protein on the membrane was labeled with an anti-MBP antibody (catalog number: 05-675, Millipore, 500-fold dilution), and ECL Advance Detection was performed using a Western Blotting Detection kit (GE Healthcare Bioscience, catalog number RPN2135).

図3に示すように、PLP1を過剰発現したオリゴデンドロサイトではMBPの発現が検出できず(レーンB)、この細胞群で髄鞘形成不全が生じていた。一方、PLP1を過剰発現した細胞群を、U0126(レーンD)またはPD98059(レーンF)で処理した場合、PLP1非発現群(レーンA、C、E;CとEはそれぞれU0126、PD98059処理群)と同等レベルのMBPの発現が検出された。これは、これらのMAPKK活性阻害剤によって髄鞘形成不全症状が正常レベルまで改善されたことを示している。   As shown in FIG. 3, MBP expression could not be detected in oligodendrocytes overexpressing PLP1 (lane B), and myelination failure occurred in this cell group. On the other hand, when a group of cells overexpressing PLP1 was treated with U0126 (lane D) or PD98059 (lane F), a PLP1 non-expression group (lanes A, C, E; C and E are U0126 and PD98059 treated groups, respectively) Level of MBP expression was detected. This indicates that these MAPKK activity inhibitors have improved myelination dysplasia symptoms to normal levels.
