【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、脂質代謝の活性化および肥満、糖尿病、高血糖、高脂血症、インスリン抵抗性の予防・改善に有効なペルオキシソーム増殖剤活性化受容体(Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor:PPAR)依存的遺伝子転写活性化剤に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ステロイド、甲状腺ホルモン、レチノイドなどの低分子脂溶性リガンドはリガンド特異的な核内受容体を介して、個体発生における形態形成、細胞の増殖、分化、生体の恒常性の維持など多様な生理機能の調節に関与している。PPARは核内受容体の1種であり、1990年に脂肪分解に関与する細胞内小器官であるペルオキシソームを増加させる作用を仲介する蛋白として同定され、ペルオキシソーム増殖剤により活性化を受けるレセプターという意味でPeroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptorα(ペルオキシソーム増殖剤活性化受容体:PPARα)と名付けられた。その後α型と構造上類似したアイソフォーム遺伝子としてβ/δ型およびγ型が同定され、合計3つのサブタイプから成ることが知られている。PPARαの機能は脂肪酸の合成・輸送・分泌、脂肪消費臓器におけるATP産生、細胞周期の調節など幅広く生体のエネルギー代謝や恒常性の維持に関わるものと考えられている。特に脂肪酸代謝に重要なβ−酸化関連酵素の遺伝子発現はPPARの活性化に強く依存していることが明らかとなってきている。PPARγ、特にPPARγ2は脂肪細胞に比較的強い特異性を持って発現しており、脂肪細胞分化の中心的役割を果たしていることが明らかになっている(細胞:31(6)218-234, 1999、J. Lipid Res. 37, 907-925, 1996、Curr. Opin. Lipidol. 10, 151-159, 1999)。
【0003】
高脂血症治療薬であるフィブラート系化合物がPPARαのアゴニストであること、糖尿病治療薬として知られるチアゾリジン誘導体がPPARγのアゴニストであることが明らかにされて以来、これらの化合物に続くPPARアゴニストの探索が進められ、高脂血症や糖尿病の改善薬として開発が試みられている。そしてこれまでにPPARアゴニストとして、チアゾリジン誘導体、フィブラート系化合物の他、脂肪酸、ロイコトリエンB4、インドメタシン、イブプロフェン、フェノプロフェン、15−deoxy-Δ-12, 14-PGJ2など(Cell. 83, 813-819, 1995、J. Biol. Chem. 272(6)3406-3410, 1997、Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 94, 4321-4327, 1997、J. Biol, Chem. 274(10)6718-6725, 1999、Mebio 別冊;Multiple Risk Factor Syndrome 2, 88-96, 1999)が報告されている。しかしこれらの化合物には長期摂取による副作用などの問題がある。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) -dependent gene effective for lipid metabolism activation and prevention / improvement of obesity, diabetes, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and insulin resistance. The present invention relates to a transcription activator.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Low-molecular-weight lipophilic ligands such as steroids, thyroid hormones, and retinoids have various physiological functions such as morphogenesis in ontogenesis, cell proliferation, differentiation, and maintenance of homeostasis through ligand-specific nuclear receptors. It is involved in regulation. PPAR is one of the nuclear receptors, and was identified in 1990 as a protein that mediates the action of increasing peroxisomes, which are intracellular organelles involved in lipolysis, meaning that it is activated by peroxisome proliferators Was named Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor α (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor: PPARα). Subsequently, β / δ type and γ type were identified as isoform genes structurally similar to α type, and it is known that it consists of three subtypes in total. The function of PPARα is considered to be widely involved in the maintenance of energy metabolism and homeostasis in the body, such as fatty acid synthesis / transport / secretion, ATP production in fat-consuming organs, and regulation of the cell cycle. In particular, it has been clarified that gene expression of β-oxidation-related enzymes important for fatty acid metabolism is strongly dependent on PPAR activation. PPARγ, in particular PPARγ2, is expressed with relatively strong specificity in adipocytes, and has been shown to play a central role in adipocyte differentiation (cell: 31 (6) 218-234, 1999 J. Lipid Res. 37, 907-925, 1996, Curr. Opin. Lipidol. 10, 151-159, 1999).
[0003]
Search for PPAR agonists following these compounds since it was revealed that fibrate compounds, which are hyperlipidemic agents, are agonists of PPARα, and thiazolidine derivatives known as antidiabetic agents are agonists of PPARγ. Has been developed and is being developed as a drug for improving hyperlipidemia and diabetes.

The PPAR-dependent gene transcription activator of the present invention is usually added in an amount of 0.001 to 80% by weight in the preparation.
[0018]
【Example】
Example 1 PPAR-dependent gene transcription activation test:
Small intestinal epithelial cell line IEC-6 or hepatocyte cell line HepG2 is seeded on a 12-well plate and cultured in DMEM (5% FCS) for 1 day. DNA strand containing PPAR response element (underlined) (AACG TGACCTTTGTCCT GGTCAACG TGACCTTTGTCCT GGTC AACG TGACCTTTGTCCT GGTC), SV40 promoter gene, PPAR reporter plasmid containing firefly luciferase gene A control plasmid (TK-Luc: Promega) ligated with the gene was introduced at the same time using a transfection reagent (Promega) at a concentration of 0.5 μg / well. Thereafter, the culture solution was replaced with a DMEM (-FCS) medium containing a test substance, and further cultured for 24 hours. After washing with PBS, cells were lysed using a dual luciferase assay system (Promega), a substrate solution containing luciferin was added to the lysate, and firefly and Renilla luciferase activities were measured using a luminometer. In this experimental system, PPAR-dependent gene transcription activators were searched by measuring the transcription activity (luciferase activity) of PPAR-dependent genes. PPAR-dependent gene transcription activity (luciferase activity) was defined as follows.
[0019]
PPAR-dependent gene transcriptional activity (luciferase activity) = (firefly luciferase activity by PPAR-Luc) / (renilla luciferase activity by TK-Luc)
[0020]
Table 1 shows the ability of each test substance to activate PPAR-dependent gene transcription in IEC-6 and HepG2 cells. The PPAR-dependent transcription activity in the control is defined as 100, and the relative value is shown. Fenofibrate was used as a positive control.
[0021]
[Table 1]

[0022]
Table 1 shows that gallate ester (1) and galloyl tannins are effective for PPAR-dependent gene transcription activation.
[0023]
Example 2
A PPAR-dependent gene transcription activation test was conducted in the same manner as in Example 1. In addition, IEC-6 was used as a cell, and carbacyclin was used as a positive control. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0024]
