Definitions
- the present invention relates to a nucleic acid molecule that suppresses the expression of the NEK6 gene and a medicament containing the nucleic acid molecule as an active ingredient.
- Fibrosis is a disease in which organ function is impaired due to accumulation of excess collagen and irreversibly progresses.
- organ function is impaired due to accumulation of excess collagen and irreversibly progresses.
- skin, lung, liver, pancreas, kidney, bone marrow etc. are known as the affected organ .
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) which is a type of pulmonary fibrosis, has a high incidence of about 20 patients per 100,000 population, but its average survival after diagnosis is 2.5 to 5 Because the year and the course after treatment are not good, incurable disease is designated in Japan.
- Pirfenidone and nintedanib have been approved and marketed by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan as IPF therapeutic agents. Although all drugs exhibit suppression of hypoactivity and prolongation of progression-free period, and delay the progression of the pathological condition, they are not satisfactory as therapeutic effects, and development of therapeutic agents based on new mechanisms is desired. There is.
- the “NEK6 protein”, which is the target of the present invention is known as one of the NIMA-related serine / threonine kinase family involved in the control of cell division, but has not received much attention as a drug development research target . Although the potential as a drug discovery target for cancer is reported in 2002, there is no specific report that NEK6 protein interacts with SMAD2 / 3 protein or promotes tissue fibrosis.
- An object of the present invention is to provide novel inhibitors of phosphorylation of SMAD2 / 3 protein and therapeutic agents for fibrosis.
- NEK6 NIMA-related serine / threonine kinase 6
- NEK6 NIMA-related serine / threonine kinase 6
- a phosphorylation inhibitor of SMAD2 / 3 protein which comprises a nucleic acid which suppresses the expression of NEK6 gene as an active ingredient
- a therapeutic agent for fibrosis which comprises a nucleic acid which suppresses the expression of NEK6 gene as an active ingredient
