Definitions
- the present invention relates to a composition for inhibiting muscle fibrosis.
- the present invention also relates to a method for suppressing muscle fibrosis.
- Muscle quality represents muscle cross-sectional area, muscle strength per muscle mass, or tension per muscle fiber, and is known to decrease with age (Non-Patent Document 1). It is considered that the cause of deterioration in muscle quality with aging is accumulation of fibers and fat droplets in the muscle.
- Muscle muscle cells which are stem cells, exist between the basement membrane and the cell membrane of muscle fibers. Muscle satellite cells are activated and proliferated when stimulated by muscle damage or the like, and at the same time, differentiate into myoblasts and myotubes to form new muscle fibers. It is important to promote the differentiation of muscle satellite cells into myoblasts and myotubes for muscle hypertrophy and muscle regeneration, which are important for preventing muscle atrophy and improving motor function. . As a component that promotes the differentiation of muscle satellite cells into myoblasts and myotube cells, it was made from a perennial plant of Oleanderaceae, Raffa or its extract, or tea leaves obtained from hybrids of the genus Camellia through a fermentation process. Black tea extracts have been reported (Patent Documents 3 and 4).
- Non-Patent Document 3 It has been reported that, when activated, muscle satellite cells proliferate by self-replication and differentiate into myoblasts and myotubes, but can also differentiate into adipocytes and myofibroblasts. 2). Cells differentiated into adipocytes produce lipid droplets, and cells differentiated into myofibroblasts produce fibers such as collagen. In this way, fat droplets accumulate in the muscle (muscle fatification), and extracellular matrix such as fibers accumulates excessively (muscle fibrosis (also called muscle fibrosis)). Decreases. There is also a report that muscle fibrosis is promoted by actually changing the differentiation direction of muscle satellite cells from myoblasts to cells that produce fiber with aging (Non-patent Document 3).
- tissue fibrosis has been studied especially in the liver and heart, but less research has been conducted on muscle fibrosis.
- no study has been conducted focusing on the differentiation of muscle satellite cells into myofibroblasts for myofibrosis, and components that suppress the differentiation of myo-satellite cells into myofibroblasts have not yet been reported. Absent.
- Quercetin is a kind of flavonoid and is contained in many plants such as onions as it is or as a glycoside. Moreover, as a physiological activity of quercetin, an antioxidant action, an anti-inflammatory action, an antitumor action, a vasodilator action, etc. are reported. On the other hand, the action of quercetin on the differentiation of muscle satellite cells into myofibroblasts has not been known so far.

- muscle satellite cell means a mesenchymal stem cell that exists between the basement membrane and the cell membrane of muscle fibers. It is known that muscle satellite cells can differentiate not only into myoblasts but also into fat cells, bone cells, myofibroblasts, and the like. For example, muscle satellite cells are differentiated into myofibroblasts by being cultured in a myofibroblast induction medium. In addition, muscle satellite cells are differentiated into adipocyte-like cells by culturing in a fat differentiation induction medium. When muscle satellite cells differentiate into myofibroblasts and adipocyte-like cells, muscle quality, muscle mass, and muscle atrophy are caused, resulting in decreased motor function.

(14)ケルセチン又はその配糖体を投与する又は摂取させることを含む、筋サテライト細胞から筋線維芽細胞への分化の過程を抑制する方法。
ケルセチン及びその配糖体は、筋サテライト細胞から筋線維芽細胞への分化の過程を抑制する作用を有し、筋線維化抑制効果を発揮する。
筋サテライト細胞から筋線維芽細胞への分化の過程の抑制の程度は、筋線維芽細胞の存在量で評価を行うことができる。筋線維芽細胞の存在量は、例えば、筋線維芽細胞に特異的なマーカー遺伝子の発現量の測定、該遺伝子にコードされるタンパク質量の測定、筋サテライト細胞の形態観察等により評価することができる。後記の実施例では、筋線維芽細胞の存在量を定量的に評価するために、筋線維芽細胞に特異的なマーカーであるActa2遺伝子の発現量と、I型コラーゲン産生に関与するCol1a1遺伝子(I型コラーゲン遺伝子)の発現量で評価を行った。
上記Acta2遺伝子は、α-平滑筋アクチン(α-smooth muscle actin、α-SMA)タンパクをコードしており、α-SMAは線維芽細胞や筋線維芽細胞に発現するタンパク質である。活性化した線維芽細胞や筋線維芽細胞が線維化部位に集積してI型コラーゲンを大量に産生することが、組織の線維化の原因として考えられている。したがって、筋サテライト細胞から筋線維芽細胞への分化の過程の抑制には、筋サテライト細胞におけるActa2遺伝子及びCol1a1遺伝子の発現抑制が含まれる。
筋サテライト細胞から筋線維芽細胞への分化の過程を抑制することにより、筋線維化を抑制することができる。また、筋サテライト細胞から筋線維芽細胞への分化の過程を抑制することにより、筋サテライト細胞の幹細胞能が維持される、及び/又は、筋サテライト細胞から筋芽細胞への分化が優先的に誘導されることになる。従って、筋サテライト細胞から筋線維芽細胞への分化の過程を抑制することにより、筋質の低下、筋量の低下及び筋萎縮を抑制することができ、このような効果が得られることで、運動機能の向上効果も得られることになる。
摂取されたケルセチン配糖体は、消化管から体内に吸収後、消化酵素又は代謝酵素の働きによりケルセチンとなり、体内でケルセチンと同様の効果を発揮する。
さらに、筋サテライト細胞の筋線維芽細胞への分化の過程を抑制することによって、筋サテライト細胞の幹細胞性の維持又は筋芽細胞への分化を優先的に誘導することができると考えられ、線維質の蓄積を抑えるだけでなく、筋合成も促進し得ると考えられる。従って筋サテライト細胞から筋線維芽細胞への分化の過程を抑制することにより、筋線維化抑制、筋質向上、筋量増加、筋萎縮抑制等の効果が得られ、これにより運動機能向上効果も得られる。

ラット骨格筋由来の筋サテライト細胞の筋線維芽細胞への分化誘導
(1)筋サテライト細胞の単離と培養条件
9週齢から15週齢の雄性Fischer344ラットから、麻酔下にて腓腹筋、ヒラメ筋、足底筋、前脛骨筋、長趾伸筋、及び大腿四頭筋を摘出し、氷上でリン酸緩衝生理食塩水(PBS)(Life Technologies Corporation社)内でミンスを行った。37℃にて、ミンスされた筋組織をプロテアーゼ(SIGMA社)により酵素分解後、遠心分離を繰り返し行い、筋サテライト細胞を単離した。筋サテライト細胞は、10%ウマ胎児血清含有Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium(DMEM)に懸濁後、24時間培養した。培養後、再び遠心分離を行い、沈殿した筋サテライト細胞を20%ウシ血清を含むF-10培地(GIBCO社)にて5×104~7×104細胞/mLとなるように、8ウェルスライドガラス(BDサーモサイエンス社)に播種をした。筋サテライト細胞は播種後、72時間又は120時間培養した。組織染色用の筋サテライト細胞は72時間培養を行い、遺伝子解析用の筋サテライト細胞は細胞数の確保のため120時間培養を行った。120時間培養する筋サテライト細胞の場合は、播種後72時間後に20%ウシ血清を含むF-10培地の培地交換を行った。
筋サテライト細胞は、上記の72時間又は120時間培養後、分化誘導培地で24時間培養した。分化誘導培地としては、2%ウマ胎児血清含有Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium(DMEM)培地に、表1に記載の量でTGFβ(TGF-β)シグナル阻害剤、ケルセチン又は溶媒を混合した培地を使用した。線維化誘導に際しては、TGFβ(SIGMA社)を用いた。当該化合物は、HClを溶媒として用い、終濃度が1ng/mLとなるように分化誘導培地に添加した。TGFβシグナル阻害剤又はケルセチンを添加する場合は、TGFβを添加した。また、TGFβシグナル阻害剤としてSB525334(6-[2-tert-ブチル-5-(6-メチル-ピリジン-2-イル)-1H-イミダゾール-4-イル]-キノキサリン、和光純薬工業株式会社)を用いた。SB525334は、ジメチルスルホキシド(DMSO)を溶媒として用い、終濃度が1μMとなるように添加した。なお、ケルセチン添加時の溶媒もDMSOを用いた。
分化誘導培地で培養した細胞はPBSで洗浄後、10%ホルマリン液(和光純薬工業株式会社)により室温で10分間固定した。その後に、56℃にてBouin’s solution(SIGMA社)と15分間反応させ、TRICHROME STAINS(MASSON)Kit(SIGMA-ALDLICH社)を使用して、マッソントリクローム染色を行った。染色後のサンプルの顕微鏡写真を図1に示す。
分化誘導培地で培養した細胞から、RNeasy micro kit(QIAGEN社)を用いて、RNA調製を行った。調製したRNAは、濃度を均一化した後、70℃、2分間の熱処理を行い、急冷後に使用した。抽出されたRNAは、15ngのRNAを使用し、25℃にて10分間、37℃にて120分間、85℃にて5分間、4℃冷却するという条件で逆転写反応を行った。逆転写反応によって得られたcDNAを、Step One Plus Real Time PCR Systemにて、TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Mastermix(Life Technologies Corporation社)を使用して定量的PCRを行った。Col1a1遺伝子及び筋線維芽細胞のマーカーであるActa2遺伝子の発現量を測定した。定量的PCRは、95℃にて20秒間維持した後、95℃にて1秒間、60℃にて20秒間の反応を40サイクル行った。各群における内部標準遺伝子として18SrRNA遺伝子の発現量を測定し、18SrRNA遺伝子(Applied Biosystems:Hs99999901_s1)、Col1a1遺伝子(Applied Biosystems:Rn01463848_m1)及びActa2遺伝子(Applied Biosystems:Rn01759928_g1)のCt値(一定の増幅量に達するまでのサイクル数)からCol1a1遺伝子発現及びActa2遺伝子発現の相対値を算出した。結果を図2に示す。
筋線維芽細胞に特異的に発現するActa2遺伝子の発現は、SB525334添加群において顕著な抑制が認められた。また、100μMケルセチン添加群においてもActa2遺伝子発現は、有意に抑制されていた。Col1a1遺伝子発現に関しては、SB525334添加群において顕著な発現抑制が認められたが、ケルセチン添加群においても濃度依存的に発現抑制作用があることがわかった。したがって、ケルセチンは筋サテライト細胞から筋線維芽細胞への分化の過程を抑制することが定量的に示された。
