- nerve cells In mature mammals, nerve cells generally do not have the ability to divide. Therefore, once a person is disabled, the disorder continues for a long time. It has long been the accepted theory that the central nervous system, especially the brain and spinal cord, has no regenerative capacity. It has been said that the lack of regenerative ability in the central nervous system is one of the causes of the lack of treatment for involuntary injuries caused by extrinsic injuries such as spinal cord injury. On the other hand, peripheral nerves have a regenerative ability, and even after being cut once, axons regenerate and their functions are restored. However, even in this case, the period required for regeneration is as long as several months to one year or more. Therefore, a lot of burden is imposed on the improvement of the QOL of the patient. In addition, since it takes a long time to regenerate nerves, nerve cells often die during that period and functional recovery is not achieved.

Specifically, the cultured stem cells are exposed to the candidate substance, and the factors that induce self-renewal are screened using the growth promoting effect as an index, while the cultured stem cells are exposed to the candidate substance and differentiated into desired mature cells. Factors that induce differentiation induction are screened using the inducing effect as an index. However, the factors selected in such a two-step in vitro screening test system have been confirmed to be effective in vitro.

- Wnt protein mainly binds to the Frizzled receptor, which is a 7-transmembrane receptor protein, and transmits signals into cells.
- Frizzled receptor consists of about 10 protein families, and the expression of these proteins varies depending on the cell type and contributes to the specificity of the cell type and signal transduction. The intracellular amount of ⁇ -catenin is maintained at a low level when the Wnt signal is off.
- ⁇ -catenin is incorporated into a degradation complex composed of Adenomatous Polyposis Colli (APC) and the like, and is phosphorylated by casein kinase 1 (CK1) and Glycogen synthase 3b (GSK3 ⁇ ), which are serine / threonine kinases. After that, it is ubiquitinated by ⁇ -Transducin repeat proteining protein (bTrCP) and degraded by the proteasome.
- APC Adenomatous Polyposis Colli
- CK1 casein kinase 1
- Glycogen synthase 3b Glycogen synthase 3b
- Disheveled works to recruit GBP / Flat-1 that releases GSK3 ⁇ from the degradation complex and protect ⁇ -catenin.
- Frodo and ⁇ -Arrestin act in conjugate with Disheveled.
- Dapper acts as an antagonist of Disheveled.
- ⁇ -catenin stabilizes and translocates into the nucleus when the Wnt signal is activated. In the nucleus, it activates transcription of target genes such as TCF, Lymphoid Enhancer D1, PPARd, and Twin.
- target genes such as TCF, Lymphoid Enhancer D1, PPARd, and Twin.
- TCF / LEF binds to a transcriptional regulator such as Groucho and is inactive.
- the transcriptional regulatory activity of Groucho is mediated by histone deacetylases (HDAC), which regulates transcription of genes.
- HDAC histone deacetylases
- ICAT and Duplin bind to ⁇ -catenin and inhibit the interaction between ⁇ -catenin and TCF / LEF, thereby negatively controlling the standard terminal route.
- ⁇ -catenin is also involved in cell adhesion, binding to the intracellular domain of type I classic cadherins such as E-Cadherin and N-Cadherin, and further forming a complex with ⁇ -catenin. This Cadherin / Catenin complex is believed to interact with the Actin cytoskeleton via other molecules.
- Wnt / Calcium pathway which is another non-canonical calcium pathway
- calcium is released into the cytoplasm when Wnt binds to the Frizzled receptor. This involves Frizzled's conjugated receptors, Knypek and Ror2.
- Heterotrimeric G protein, Phospholipase C (PLC), Protein kinase C (PKC) and the like are known as intracellular second messengers of this pathway. It has been reported that the Wnt / Calcium pathway is important for cell-cell adhesion and cell dynamics during protozoal embryo formation.
- Wnt signaling antagonists are classified into two classes: the secred Frizzled Related Protein (sFRP) class and the Danish krone (Dkk) class.
- the sFRP class includes the sFRP family sFRP1-5, Wnt Inhibitory Factor-1 (WIF-1), and Cerberus. These antagonists bind directly to Wnt and suppress the binding of Wnt to its receptor.
- Dkk1-4 included in the Dkk class binds to the extracellular domain of LRP5 / LRP6 and suppresses the Wnt signal.
- sFRP class antagonists inhibit both the ⁇ -catenin-mediated standard pathway and the Non-canonical pathway of Wnt signaling, and Dkk class antagonists selectively inhibit only the standard pathway.
- the isolated Wnt protein exhibits activity in a variety of stem cells, including neural stem cells, mammary gland stem cells, and embryonic stem cells. In general, the Wnt protein acts to maintain the undifferentiated state of stem cells (Non-Patent Document 25).

- Cells have different morphological and functional characteristics depending on their developmental process. The reason why the characteristics change in the developmental process is that the expression of various genes is regulated temporally and spatially in each developmental process. Specifically, in the most undifferentiated stem cells, many genes necessary for suppressing differentiation and performing self-renewal while maintaining totipotency are expressed. As differentiation progresses, the expression of genes that maintain totipotency is suppressed, while many genes that take a specific form and are required to exert a specific function are expressed. In embryology, as a method for tracking this developmental process, it is widely practiced to observe the expression of a "marker gene" that is specifically expressed at a certain developmental stage. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a marker specifically expressed in undifferentiated cells is observed in step B.

Abstract
Description
一方で、末梢神経は再生能を有しており、一旦切断された後も軸索が再生し機能が回復する。しかしこの場合にも再生に要する期間は数ヶ月から1年以上と長期間を要する。このため、患者のQOL向上には多くの負担が強いられる。また、神経の再生に長期間を要するために、その間に神経細胞が死滅し機能回復に至らない場合も多い。
SGZに存在する放射性グリア様神経幹細胞/前駆細胞は、通常、比較的休止状態をとるが、内部および外部刺激によって活性化することができる。これらの細胞は、対称的および非対称的に分裂することによって神経芽細胞のプールを構成している。このプール内の細胞の一部が未熟なニューロンに分化する(非特許文献4)。
最近、この中枢神経再生阻害因子としてNogoが発見されている(非特許文献8、非特許文献9)。しかし、Nogoを阻害することによって、再生する神経線維は一部であり、他の再生阻害物質が存在するのではないかと考えられている。
また、インビボで神経の再生阻害に働いている因子の一つとしてセフォマリンも推定されている(非特許文献10、非特許文献11)。
また、本発明者らにより、BRD7、IkarosがCRBNの下流因子であること、これらが中枢神経系の発生を阻害因子であること、及びBRD7とIkarosのアンタゴニストとCRBNの活性化因子が、中枢神経系の再生を促し得ることが報告されている(特許文献5)。
しかし、このような2段階のインビトロスクリーニング試験系で選択される因子は、あくまでもインビトロで効果が確認されたものである。そのため、その用途としてはES細胞やiPS細胞などを使用した再生医療、すなわちインビトロでの幹細胞増幅プロセスと分化誘導プロセスへの応用を主眼においたものである。
従来技術においては、生体内で未分化細胞の自己複製と分化誘導を単剤にて誘起する物質が存在し、これをスクリーニングしようとする発想はなかった。

[1-1-1]動物
A工程においては動物に候補物質を投与する。スクリーニングツールとしてヒトを用いることは倫理的に問題があるため、ヒト以外の動物に候補物質を投与する。
A工程において候補物質を投与する動物はヒト以外であれば特に限定されず、扁平動物、触手冠動物、担輪動物、線形動物、鰓曳動物、汎節足動物、棘皮動物、半索動物、頭索動物、尾索動物、脊椎動物、珍無腸動物など何れに分類される動物であってもよい。
中でも脳と脊髄からなる中枢神経系を有する脊椎動物をスクリーニングツールとして使用する実施の形態が好ましい。
中でもモデル生物として汎用される動物を使用することが好ましい。具体的には、哺乳類としてはマウス、モルモット、ラット、ウサギ、サル、イヌ、ネコが挙げられる。魚類としては、ゼブラフィッシュ、メダカ、トラフグが挙げられる。鳥類としてはニワトリ、ウズラが挙げられる。爬虫類としてはヤモリ、両生類としては、カエル、イモリが挙げられる。
また、ヒトへの適用性がより高い有効成分を簡易にスクリーニングする観点では、多産であり生活環が短い哺乳類動物であるマウスを用いることが好ましい。
使用する胚の動物種は特に限定されないが、胎生の動物の胚は母親の胎内に存在し扱いが難しいことから、卵生の動物の胚を用いることが好ましい。具体的には、魚類、爬虫類、両生類、鳥類の胚を用いることが好ましい。卵殻が透明であり、柔らかい卵に内包された胚をスクリーニングツールとして用いることが好ましい。透明であり、扱いやすく大量に用意できるというメリットがあることから、魚類の胚を用いることが好ましく、ゼブラフィッシュの胚を用いることが特に好ましい。
より好ましい実施形態では、胚の一部分に候補物質を局所的に投与する。この場合、動物の胚における特定の組織に発生する領域又はその近傍に候補物質を局所投与する。
なお、「近傍」とは候補物質が体液による拡散ないし分散によって目的の領域に到達し得る程度の範囲のことをいう。
皮膚表皮、毛髪、爪、皮膚腺(乳腺、汗腺を含む)、感覚器(口腔、咽頭、鼻、直腸の末端部の上皮を含む)、唾液腺、水晶体、脳、脊髄など、外胚葉系の何れの組織に発生する領域又はその近傍に候補物質を投与してもよい。
食道から大腸までの消化管(口腔・咽頭や直腸の末端部を除く)、肺、甲状腺、膵臓、肝臓、消化管に開口する分泌腺の細胞、腹膜、胸膜、喉頭、耳管や気管、気管支、尿路(膀胱、尿道の大部分、尿管の一部)など、内胚葉系の何れの組織に発生する領域又はその近傍に候補物質を投与してもよい。
体腔およびそれを裏打ちする中皮、筋肉、骨格、皮膚真皮、結合組織、心臓、血管(血管内皮も含む)、血液(血液細胞も含む)、リンパ管や脾臓、腎臓および尿管、性腺(精巣、子宮、性腺上皮)など、内胚葉系の何れの組織に発生する領域又はその近傍に候補物質を投与してもよい。
本発明の一つの実施形態では、候補物質を局所注入する特定の組織と同一組織の疾患、障害、若しくは疾病又はこれらの症状の治療又は予防のための有効成分のスクリーニング方法である。
本発明の一つの実施形態では、候補物質を局所注入する特定の組織と異なる組織の疾患、障害、若しくは疾病又はこれらの症状の治療又は予防のための有効成分のスクリーニング方法である。
本発明の一つの実施形態では、前記動物の胚における神経系に発生する領域又はその近傍に前記候補物質を局所投与する。以下、簡単に胚発生期における神経系の発生過程を説明した後に、当該実施形態について説明する。
その後、前脳胞が終脳胞と間脳胞に、菱脳胞が後脳胞と髄脳胞に区別され二次脳胞を形成する。終脳胞は左右に膨出し内腔は側脳室となる。間脳胞内腔、後脳胞内腔はそれぞれ第三脳室、第四脳室になる。中脳胞内腔は大きく形態変化をみせることなく中脳水道となる。終脳の背側は大脳皮質となり、腹側からは大脳基底核などが分化する。間脳胞域からは視床上部、視床、視床下部が分化する。後脳胞域の背側は小脳が生じ、腹側は橋を形成する。髄脳域は延髄となり、神経管の後方より形成される脊髄につながる。
なお、形態形成の初期段階において、前脳の側面から一対の空洞が発達し始める。この空洞は神経管の前方端が閉じる前に、眼の原基である眼胞を形成し始め、神経管の閉鎖の終了の後には眼胞ができあがる。
この場合、神経孔を有する状態、すなわち完全に閉じていない神経管に局所投与してもよいし、完全に閉じた神経管に局所投与してもよい。
局所投与する一次脳胞は、前脳胞、中脳胞、菱脳胞の何れであってもよい。また、一次脳胞の内腔(脳室)に局所投与してもよい。
局所投与する二次脳胞は、終脳胞、間脳胞、後脳胞、髄脳胞の何れであってもよい。また、二次脳胞の内腔である側脳室、第三脳室、第四脳室又は中脳水道に局所投与してもよい。
本発明の一つの実施形態では、前記動物の胚における心臓に発生する領域又はその近傍に前記候補物質を局所投与する。以下、簡単に胚発生期における心臓の発生過程を説明した後に、当該実施形態について説明する。
さらに心臓発生に重要な役割を果たす転写因子として,TBX5、GAT Aファミリー、ISLET-1、HAND1/2、MEF2Cなど多くの転写因子が相互に作用しながら心筋細胞分化に関わっていることが明らかになってきている。
本発明の一つの実施形態では、前記動物の胚における膵臓に発生する領域又はその近傍に前記候補物質を局所投与する。以下、簡単に胚発生期における膵臓の発生過程を説明した後に、当該実施形態について説明する。
本発明の一つの実施形態では、発生過程を一通り終えた動物胚の発生後期から新生期、及び当該動物の若齢個体から成体をスクリーニングツールとして用いる。
この場合には、A工程において、該動物に候補物質を投与する。投与の形態としては、注射等による局所投与、経口投与、経皮投与、経腸投与などが挙げられる。好ましい実施形態では、該動物に候補物質を局所投与する。
本発明の一つの実施形態では、疾患等に罹患していない正常動物に候補物質を投与する。正常動物は後述する疾患モデルと比較して容易に、かつ安価に大量に入手可能であるため、大量の候補物質群をスクリーニングする場合に有利である。
疾患モデル動物を用いることで、当該疾患への適用で効果を発揮する有効成分を効率的にスクリーニングすることができる。
A工程において動物に投与する候補物質には制限が無い。候補物質は、低分子化合物、タンパク質、ペプチド、核酸の何れであってもよい。
ペプチドは細胞から抽出したものであってもよいし、遺伝子工学的手法又は化学合成によって調製したものであってもよい。また、ペプチドを構成するアミノ酸として非天然アミノ酸が含まれていてもよい。
本発明の一つの実施形態では、候補物質はタンパク質やRNAを発現する発現ベクターである。
本発明の一つの実施形態では、候補物質は細胞内での特定のタンパク質の発現をRNA干渉によって抑制するノックダウンベクターである。
[A群]
5-HT受容体阻害剤、AChR阻害剤、アデニル酸シクラーゼ活性化剤、AhR活性化剤、Akt阻害剤、ALK阻害剤、ATPase阻害剤、オートファジー阻害剤、カルシウムチャネル阻害剤、炭酸脱水酵素阻害剤、Cdc42阻害剤、CDK阻害剤、COX阻害剤、デヒドロゲナーゼ阻害剤、DHFR阻害剤、EGFR阻害剤、ERK阻害剤、エストロジェン/プロジェストジェン受容体阻害剤、γセクレターゼ阻害剤、グルタミン酸受容体リガンド(増強剤)、GSK-3 阻害剤、HDAC活性化剤、HDAC阻害剤、Hedgehog/Smoothenedアゴニスト、IGF-IR阻害剤、インターロイキン受容体阻害剤、IRAK阻害剤、JAK/STAT阻害剤、MAO阻害剤、MEK阻害剤、マイトファジー阻害剤、NF-kB阻害剤、NF-kB-AMPK-チロシンキナーゼ経路阻害剤、Notch-1阻害剤、P450阻害剤、PAEF阻害剤、PDE阻害剤、PPAR阻害剤、TGF-β受容体阻害剤、TGF-beta/Smad阻害剤、TNF受容体阻害剤、Wnt/β-catenin経路活性化剤
培養細胞又は実験動物を使用したスクリーニングは、コストと手間がかかるため、利用可能な化合物ライブラリーの全てを候補物質として供することが現実的ではない。そのため、現代の創薬においてはコンピュータを使用したin silicoスクリーニングが広く使用されている。本発明においても上記一次作用を有する化合物であるとin silicoで推測される化合物を候補物質とすることが好ましい。
なお、タンパク質の三次元構造の情報は例えばPDBj(https://pdbj.org/)、RCSB DB(https://www.rcsb.org/)、BMRB(https://bmrb.io/)、PDBe(https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/)などのデータベースに登録されているため、これを利用することができる。また、新たにNMRやX線結晶構造解析などを実施して三次元構造を解析してもよい。また、アミノ酸配列からタンパク質の三次元構造を予測し、これをSBDD法に利用してもよい。
LBDD法による創薬は広く実施されており、本発明の実施に際しても無料又は有料で提供されている各種のソフトウェアを利用することができる。
LBDD法(インフォマティクス的手法)とSBDD法(シミュレーション的手法)は、相互補完的な関係にある。インフォマティクス的な設計では、計算時間が短く、利用するモデリング研究者の熟練度にあまり依存せずにヒット率等の精度が安定しているという利点がある。その半面、利用した既知の薬剤と同じ結合サイト、結合モードの化合物しかヒットしないという欠点がある。
シミュレーションを利用すると、物理法則に則った精密な結合自由エネルギーを予測でき、タンパク質のすべての可能な結合サイトを対象に創薬を展開できる利点があり、インフォマティクスの欠点を補う潜在性がある。しかし、シミュレーションでは、レベルにもよるが計算時間が非常に長いという欠点と、計算の設定が不適切な場合には完全な失敗に終わるリスクがある。
以上の理由から、LBDD法及びSBDD法法を併用して候補物質を選定する実施形態が好ましい。

上述の通り、Notchシグナルの活性化はNPCの増殖を促進し、分化を抑制することが知られている。また、血液細胞においても、Notchシグナルの活性化が造血幹細胞の自己複製と未分化能の維持に重要であることが知られている。しかし、Notchシグナルの活性化が表皮細胞の分化を誘導することも知られている(非特許文献20)。つまり、Notchシグナルは細胞の置かれている状況に応じて、未分化細胞の自己複製や未分化能の維持を誘導したり、逆に分化を誘導したりするという両面性を有している。
Notchシグナルは、遺伝子の発現と当該遺伝子の抑制因子の発現の両方を活性化することも報告されている。この報告は、Notchシグナルの活性化後の応答能に一過性を持たせている可能性を示唆している。さらに、Notchシグナル伝達経路の標的が、正の調節因子と負の調節因子の両方で構成されていることから、細胞はどちらの転帰に対しても準備が整うといえる。これがNotchシグナルの示す両面性(未分化細胞の自己複製・未分化能の維持と分化誘導)の要因であると考えられる(非特許文献21)。
すなわち、本発明の一つの実施形態では、Notchシグナル経路に作用する物質、又は推測される物質を候補物質とする。

その機構は、まずリガンド(インターフェロン、インターロイキン、成長因子など)が結合すると受容体がJAKを活性化させ、そのキナーゼ活性を発現させる。活性化JAKは、受容体のチロシン残基をリン酸化させ、受容体のSH2ドメインを持つタンパク質の結合部位を作る。SH2ドメインを持つSTATは、JAKによってリン酸化されたチロシン部位へ結合し、STAT自体がJAKによってリン酸化を受ける。チロシン残基にリン酸化を受けた活性型STATは、ヘテロまたはホモダイマーを形成し、細胞核の中へ移動し、標的遺伝子の転写を引き起こす。なお、STATはチロシンリン酸化を直接、受容体のチロシンキナーゼ(上皮細胞成長因子受容体など)からも受け得るし、非受容体の細胞質内のチロシンキナーゼ(c-srcなど)からも受け得る。
また、広く研究で使用されているES細胞の培養においては分化抑制剤としてLIFを添加するが、LIF受容体がJAK/STATシグナル経路を活性化することが知られている。

これら7化合物の構造を以下に示す。
したがって、これら7化合物の誘導体を候補物質とすることで、神経系の疾患等に対する治療又は予防効果を奏する有効成分を効率よくスクリーニングすることができる。
[A´工程]動物(ヒトを除く)に、前記7化合物の何れかをリード化合物として選択し、当該リード化合物の誘導体を候補物質として投与する工程。
[B工程]前記A工程を経た前記動物における神経未分化細胞を観察する工程。
[C工程]前記A工程を経た前記動物における神経系分化細胞を観察する工程。
[D´工程]前記リード化合物を投与した場合よりも、神経未分化細胞及び/又は神経系分化細胞の増殖作用がある場合に、前記候補物質を前記有効成分として選択する工程。
このような実施の形態とすることによって、前記7化合物をリード化合物として、その最適化を行うことができる。
B工程は、A工程を経た前記動物における未分化細胞を観察する工程である。
なお、本明細書において、「未分化細胞」には幹細胞と前駆体細胞の両方が含まれる。
発生学においては、この発生過程を追跡するための手法として、ある発生段階に特異的に発現する“マーカー遺伝子”の発現を観察することが広く行われている。
本発明の好ましい実施の形態では、B工程において未分化細胞に特異的に発現するマーカーを観察する。以下、マーカー遺伝子の種類を概説する。
また、ゼブラフィッシュをスクリーニングツールとして使用する場合には、神経幹細胞マーカーとしてHer-5が好ましく例示できる(Development 133(21):4293-303・December 2006)。
レポーター遺伝子とは、細胞内でのある遺伝子の発現を可視化するための外来遺伝子のことをいう。発現を可視化したい遺伝子の発現制御領域下に蛍光タンパクなどをコードした塩基配列を挿入することにより、その遺伝子の発現と同調して細胞が蛍光を発するように設計する。
本発明の一つの実施の形態においては、未分化細胞で特異的に発現するレポーター遺伝子が導入されたトランスジェニック動物をスクリーニングツールとして使用する。この場合、B工程において未分化細胞で特異的に発現するレポーター遺伝子の発現を観察する。
未分化細胞において特異的に正に発現制御するプロモーターが公知である場合には、当該プロモーターの下流にレポーター遺伝子配列をつないだ塩基配列をゲノムに挿入することで、特定の細胞において特異的に発現するトランスジェニック動物を作製することができる。
また、上述のように未分化細胞のマーカー遺伝子は既知であるので、当該マーカー遺伝子の遺伝子座へレポーター遺伝子を導入することで、トランスジェニック動物を作製することができる。これにより、前記マーカー遺伝子の発現と同調してレポーター遺伝子が発現する。
・Nestin-GFPトランスジェニックゼブラフィッシュ系統(Developmental Dynamics 2009 Feb;238(2):475-86.)
・Gfap-GFPトランスジェニックゼブラフィッシュ系統(Developmental Dynamics 2009 Feb;238(2):475-86.)
・Nestin-GFPトランスジェニックマウス系統(The Journal of comparative neurogy,Volume469, Issue39 February 2004,Pages 311-324)
蛍光は蛍光顕微鏡により観察することができる。蛍光部の輝度と面積に基づき、動物の体内での未分化細胞の増殖を定量することができる。
かかる効果を最大限に引き上げるため、トランスジェニック動物は、体色が薄いか透明~半透明である動物であることが好ましい。このような動物としてはゼブラフィッシュが挙げられる。
C工程は、A工程を経た前記動物における分化細胞を観察する工程である。より具体的には、分化細胞の量的パラメータや質的パラメータを観察する。量的パラメータとは、細胞数、組織の大きさ・範囲などが挙げられる。質的パラメータとしては、その分化細胞により構成される組織の機能や形状などが挙げられる。組織の機能を観察する場合には、その観察する組織の種類に応じて観察すべき機能を選定する。例えば、心臓を観察する場合には拍出量などを観察することで、心機能を評価することができる。また、膵臓を観察する場合には、膵臓の分泌物であるインスリンの量などを観察することで、膵臓の機能を評価することができる。
「神経系分化細胞」という場合には、各種の神経細胞とグリア細胞が含まれる。また、本明細書において未熟神経細胞は分裂性神経前駆細胞と非分裂性神経前駆細胞に分けられ、前者は神経未分化細胞、後者は神経系分化細胞に含まれる。
非分裂性神経前駆細胞に分類される未熟神経細胞のマーカーとしては、Doublecortin、NeuroD1、TBR1、Beta III tubulin、Stathmin 1などが挙げられる。
したがって、軸索の伸長している成熟した神経細胞のマーカーとしてアセチル化チューブリンは有用である。
髄鞘形成シュワン細胞のマーカーとしては、SOX10、S100、EGR2、MBP、MPZなどが挙げられる。
・Ggaf-GFPトランスジェニックゼブラフィッシュ系統(Developmental Dynamics 2009 Feb;238(2):475-86.)
蛍光は蛍光顕微鏡により観察することができる。蛍光の輝度に基づき、動物の体内での分化細胞の増殖を定量することができる。
かかる効果を最大限に引き上げるため、トランスジェニック動物は、体色が薄いか透明~半透明である動物であることが好ましい。このような動物としてはゼブラフィッシュが挙げられる。
本項目ではB工程とC工程の2つの工程を両方とも行う実施の形態(図4)について説明をさらに加える。図5を参照して説明をしたように、B工程とC工程の順序は特に限定されず、かつ、これらの工程は同時に行われてもよい。
また、B工程とC工程は同一の動物個体に対して行う形態としてもよいし、別の動物個体に対して行う形態としてもよい。後者の場合、B工程とC工程のそれぞれに供する動物個体に対する実験条件は可能な限りそろえて行う。
かかる形態においては、A工程を経た動物を染色のために固定し、未分化細胞マーカーと分化細胞マーカーに対する抗体/プローブにより、多重染色する実施の形態とすることが好ましい。多重染色することにより、未分化細胞と分化細胞を同時に観察することができる。
多重染色を行う場合には、常法に従って、未分化細胞マーカーと分化細胞マーカーに対する抗体/プローブの標識が混同しないように設計する。蛍光標識の場合には、励起波長と蛍光波長が互いに異なる標識を用いる。
この場合には、動物が生きた状態で観察ができるB工程(蛍光観察など)を先に行い、その後、C工程(免疫染色など)を行う実施の形態とすることが好ましい。
かかる形態とすることにより、未分化細胞の自己複製を経時的に追跡観察し、未分化細胞が増殖した結果としての分化細胞の増殖の効果を評価することができる。
この場合には、動物が生きた状態で観察ができるC工程(蛍光観察など)を先に行い、その後、B工程(免疫染色など)を行う実施の形態とすることが好ましい。
かかる形態とすることにより、分化細胞の増殖を経時的に追跡観察し、分化細胞の増殖の原因としての未分化細胞の自己複製の効果を評価することができる。
レポーター遺伝子が蛍光タンパク質遺伝子である場合、未分化細胞のレポーター遺伝子と分化細胞のレポーター遺伝子は、互いに異なる励起波長と蛍光波長を有する蛍光タンパク質をコードする遺伝子であることが好ましい。
D工程は、B工程及び/又はC工程の観察結果を評価して有効成分を選択する工程である。詳しくは、D工程は、候補物質を投与しない場合と比較して、未分化細胞及び/又は分化細胞の量的及び/又は質的な向上をもたらす候補物質を有効成分として選択する工程である。
C工程を実施する場合には、D工程において、候補物質を投与しない場合と比較して、分化細胞の量を向上させる候補物質を有効成分として選択する。また、候補物質を投与しない場合と比較して、分化細胞により構成される組織の機能を向上させる候補物質を有効成分として選択する。
例えば、B工程及び/又はC工程で免疫染色又はインサイチューハイブリダイゼーションを行う場合には、染色像における蛍光又は呈色の強度及びその範囲を指標とすることで、前記細胞の増殖効果を評価することができる。すなわち、染色像における蛍光又は呈色の強度及びその範囲が強い又は広い場合には、候補物質には未分化細胞及び/又は分化細胞の増殖を促進する効果があったものと判別できる。
対照実験はA工程~D工程と同時に行ってもよいし、一度実施した対照実験の結果を記録し、これを参照して評価する形態としてもよい。
上述のとおり本発明はA工程と、B工程及び/又はC工程と、D工程と、を備える。A工程~D工程を2回以上行う実施形態としてもよい。すなわち、一次スクリーニングとしてのA工程~D工程を実施して選択された有効成分を候補物質として、さらに二次スクリーニングとしてのA工程~D工程に供してもよい。この場合、一次スクリーニングと二次スクリーニングの条件を変更することが好ましい。
例えば一次スクリーニングは胚を使用し、二次スクリーニングは成体を使用する実施形態としてもよい。
また、一次スクリーニングで使用する動物よりも高度な動物を二次スクリーニングで使用する形態としてもよい。具体的には、一次スクリーニングで魚類を使用し、二次スクリーニングで哺乳類を使用する実施形態が挙げられる。

(後述の実験において化合物1~7は別個に使用している。)
被験化合物をE3リンガー(ゼブラフィッシュ生理食塩水)に溶解した溶液(100μM)を調製した。この溶液を受精後24時間胚の脳室に顕微鏡下で注入し、28.5℃で受精後72時間まで培養した。
なお、蛍光顕微鏡による観察の邪魔になるメラニン色素の合成を阻害するため培養液には0.2mMのフェニルチオ尿素(PTU)を添加している。
また、顕微注入時において胚は0.02% MS-222(トリカイン)/E3リンガーにて麻酔後、コフィン(プラスチック製の板に保定用のV字型の溝を刻んだもの)上で頭部背側を上に保定し、ガラスキャピラリーを松果体近傍に刺入した。そして、窒素ガス圧(15picosiemens)を15~45ミリ秒加え脳室内に注入した。
この際、注入液のトレーサーとして0.025%(最終濃度)フェノールレッドを混入した。
注入する量は前脳室と間脳及び中脳室が均一な薄い赤色になるまでパルス状にガス圧を加えて調節した。
対照実験(コントロール)として、E3リンガーのみ同量脳室内に投与した。
受精後72時間まで培養した固体をスライドグラス上にて3%メチルセルロース/E3リンガー/0.02%トリカイン溶液中で保定後、488nm励起光にてGFPを発光させてCCDカメラで撮像した(図6~8)。
サンプル数はそれぞれの被験化合物を用いた実験において80である(N=80)。
図6~8に示すように、被験化合物を注入したゼブラフィッシュ胚においては、中脳神経幹細胞を示すGFPの蛍光が観察された範囲が、コントロールに比べて顕著に大きかった。
この結果は、被験化合物である化合物1~7は、神経幹細胞の自己複製を顕著に促進する作用を有することを示している。
<実験手法>
試験例1において被験化合物を脳室内投与された個体を40時間胚まで培養し4%パラホルムアルデヒド/リン酸緩衝液(PBS)で常温90分固定後、分化した神経細胞のマーカーである抗アセチル化チューブリン抗体(モノクローナル、x1/3000希釈)とAlexa 488抗マウスIgG二次抗体で免疫蛍光標識し、488nmの励起光で観察した(図11~図13)。
サンプル数はそれぞれの被験化合物を用いた実験において10である(N=10)。
図11~図13において緑色の蛍光が観察される部分は、分化した神経細胞、より具体的には、神経の細胞体クラスター(終脳・間脳)とそれらをつなぐ軸索束である。図11~図13に示すように、被験化合物を注入したゼブラフィッシュ胚においては、分化した神経の細胞体クラスターを示す傾向の範囲及び強度が、コントロールに比べて顕著に大きかった。
また、全てのサンプルにおいて腫瘍の発生は認められなかった。
しかし、試験例1及び2の結果は、未分化細胞の自己複製と分化誘導の2つのプロセスを単剤にて達成することができる(しかも癌化を引き起こさない)という驚くべき事実を証明している。
構造が全く異なる化合物ライブラリーを用意し、試験例1及び試験例2に従いスクリーニングを行った。その結果、37化合物において神経未分化細胞及び神経分化細胞の増加が観察された。表1に神経未分化細胞及び神経系分化細胞の増加が確認された化合物の一次作用をまとめる。
この結果はin vitroにおける試験は、幹細胞の特性制御における一面しか明らかにしていないということを示している。すなわち、in vitroの試験系は、「幹細胞の自己複製・多能性の維持」と「分化誘導」の何れかの作用を片面的にしか観察できないということを示している。
一方、本発明の生体を用いたin vivoスクリーニング系は、細胞間・組織間の複雑な情報伝達を反映した、極めて有効な結果を提示できる。
<使用動物>生後一カ月齢のゼブラフィッシュ
化合物1~7(後述の実験において化合物1~7は別個に使用している。)
生後1ヶ月齢のゼブラフィッシュ個体を0.02%トリカインで麻酔後、ガラスキャピラリーの刺入で脊髄を損傷した。損傷後1日飼育し、100μMの被験化合物を0.1%-0.3%アガロース/E3リンガーに溶解したものを損傷部位に注入した。この際、トレーサーとして0.025%(最終濃度)フェノールレッドを混入した。可視光にて実体顕微鏡で観察し、フェノールレッドが脊髄損傷部周辺に貯留したことを確認し、3日間飼育した。
対照実験(コントロール)として、被験化合物を含まない0.1%-0.3%アガロース/E3リンガーを注入する実験も行った。
脊髄損傷後、脊髄に導入された損傷を確認するため、ただちにMRIによって撮影をし、した。その結果、上記実験手法によりゼブラフィッシュ個体に脊髄損傷を与えていることが確認できた。
脊髄損傷部位に化合物を注入してから3日後と1か月後において撮影したMRI画像を比較した。その結果、コントロールのゼブラフィッシュ個体では脊髄の損傷が治癒せずにそのまま残存していることが確認できた。一方、被験化合物を注入したゼブラフィッシュ個体においては、脊髄の損傷が見られなかった。つまり、損傷部位における脊髄の再生が観察された。
また、コントロールのゼブラフィッシュにおいては脊髄損傷後、遊泳能力を喪失したままであった。一方、被験化合物を注入したゼブラフィッシュにおいては、脊髄損傷により喪失していた遊泳能力の明らかな回復が観察された。
この結果は、被験化合物である化合物1~7には脊髄損傷の治療効果があることを示している。

高眼圧型緑内障モデルマウスの成体に、被験化合物100μMを1%メチルセルロース/生理食塩水に溶解した溶液を1回あたり500μl、1日3回両眼に点眼投与した。点眼10日~1ヶ月後に殺処理し、網膜組織切片を作成し488nm励起光で蛍光顕微鏡にて網膜神経節細胞を観察し、CCDカメラで撮像した。
対照実験(コントロール)として、被験化合物を含まない1%メチルセルロース/生理食塩水を点眼する実験も行った。
被験化合物である化合物1~7を点眼した高眼圧型緑内障モデルマウスにおいては、コントロールに比べて顕著に網膜神経節細胞の増幅が観察された(図14に化合物7の結果を示す)。また、被験化合物を点眼した高眼圧型緑内障モデルマウスにおいては、その行動からして明らかに視力が回復していることが確認できた。
この結果は、被験化合物である化合物1~7には、緑内障の治療効果又は予防効果があることを示している。
<使用動物>
E11.5マウス胎児
化合物1~7(後述の実験において化合物1~7は別個に使用している。)
被験化合物100μMを生理食塩水に溶解して調製した溶液をE11.5のマウス胎児脳室内に注入した。成体へと成長したマウス個体の脳を固定し、小脳プルキンエ細胞層のスライス切片をプルキンエ細胞の細胞体及び神経突起のマーカーである抗d-Calbindin抗体で免疫染色した。染色後、プルキンエ細胞の数をカウントし、その平均値を算出した。
対照実験(コントロール)として、被験化合物を含まない生理食塩水を用いて同様の実験を行った。
サンプル数は化合物1~7、コントロールのそれぞれについて10である(N=10)。
胎児時に被験化合物を注入した成体マウスの小脳プルキンエ細胞層におけるプルキンエ細胞の数は、コントロールに比べて、顕著に多かった(図15、図16、図17にそれぞれ化合物2、5、7の結果を示す)。
この結果は、被験化合物である化合物1~7によれば、脳神経系の再生及び増強が可能であることを示している。すなわち、化合物1~7は、脳神経系の疾患等に対する治療効果を奏するものといえる。
<使用動物>
中脳神経幹細胞で特異的に緑色蛍光タンパク質が発現するレポーター遺伝子トランスジェニック系統のゼブラフィッシュ
化合物1~7(後述の実験において化合物1~7は別個に使用している。)
対照実験(コントロール)として、E3リンガー(0.1% DMSOプラス0.025%フェノールレッド)のみ同量脳室内に投与した。
このリポフェクション法では注入した被験化合物の効果がさらに局在化し細胞内への透過姓も上昇する。
対照実験(コントロール)として、被験化合物の代わりにE3のみで反応させた溶液を用いた。
多くの場合、これらの操作中に個体の自発呼吸は消失し仮死状態になるので200μL用のチップをつけたマイクロピペットでE3を手操作で口より反復して流入させ自発呼吸が戻るまで蘇生作業を続けた。
なお、蛍光顕微鏡による観察の邪魔になるメラニン色素の合成を阻害するため培養液には0.2mMのフェニルチオ尿素(PTU)を添加している。
蛍光観察の結果、何れの注入方法を採用した場合であっても、被験化合物を注入した成体ゼブラフィッシュの脳における中脳神経幹細胞の存在を示す蛍光は、コントロールに比べて強く検出された。図18にE3リンガーに化合物5を希釈して投与した場合における結果を示す。
この結果は、被験化合物である化合物1~7によれば、成体における脳神経系の再生及び増強が可能であることを示唆している。すなわち、本発明のスクリーニング方法でスクリーニングされた有効成分は、脳神経系の疾患等に対する治療効果を奏するものといえる。

in situハイブリダイゼーションの結果、被験化合物を注入したゼブラフィッシュ個体においては、コントロールに比して心筋細胞の量の増加が見られた。図19に化合物2、5、7を注入した個体の顕微鏡写真を示す。
また、被験化合物を注入したゼブラフィッシュ個体においては、コントロールの固体に比して、一回の拍動で拍出される血球数の顕著な増加が見られた。図20に化合物7を注入した個体における血球の一回拍出量をカウントした結果を示す。
また、被験化合物を注入した個体の心臓の拍動を撮影した動画から血球の一回拍出量が顕著に向上していることが確認できた。図21に化合物7を注入した個体の心臓の拍動を撮影した動画のキャプチャー画像を示す。

コントロールの個体に比して被検化合物1~7を注入した個体におけるβ細胞は増加していることが確認された。図22に化合物7の結果を示す。
また、コントロールの個体に比して被検化合物1~7を注入した個体におけるβ細胞によるインスリンの生産量も有意に増加していることが確認できた。図23に化合物2、5,6及び7を注入した場合のin situハイブリダイゼーションによるインスリンの染色写真を示す。また、図24及び図25に化合物2及び6を注入した場合の抗インシュリン抗体による免疫染色写真とその平均蛍光強度を表す棒グラフを示す。

血管内皮細胞で特異的にGFPを発現する、T細胞型急性リンパ性白血病モデル
化合物7
T細胞型急性リンパ性白血病モデル個体の受精後24時間の胚の体腹側主血管に、E3リンガーに化合物を添加して100μMに調整した液剤を顕微鏡下注入した。コントロールとしてE3リンガーを同様に顕微鏡下で注入した。顕微注入時において胚はスライドグラス上で3%メチルセルロース/E3リンガー/0.02%トリカイン溶液中で体側部を上に保定後、ガラスキャピラリーを体壁と卵黄の境界を頭部~尾部方向に走る腹部主血管に刺入した。そして、窒素ガス圧(15picosiemens)を30~45ミリ秒加え血管内に注入した。この際、注入液のトレーサーとして0.025%(最終濃度)フェノールレッドを混入した。注入する量は血流によって全身の太い血管が均一な薄い赤色になるまでパルス状にガス圧を加えて調節した。注入した薬剤は1日以内に腎臓に貯留しフェノールレッドが局在することから、受精後36時間・48時間にも同様の条件で化合物7又はコントロールのE3リンガーを追加注入した。受精後56時間で個体を再度麻酔し、488nm励起光で血管内皮細胞を蛍光観察した。
また、薬剤注入個体とコントロール個体の生存率をカウントした。生存率の検証試験は3回行った。1回目/2回目/3回目のそれぞれの試験個体数は、コントロールでは173/231/153個体、薬剤処理では221/187/204個体であった。
化合物7を注入した個体ではコントロール個体と比較して体の血管の至るところで内皮の肥厚化・腫瘤化が認められた(図26)。また、28日目の生存率はコントロールでは22.4%±4.56、化合物7を注入した個体では55.9%±6.07であった。つまり、化合物7を注入した個体は、コントロールの個体に比して生存率の顕著な上昇が観察された(図27)。
これらの結果は、化合物7は血中のがん細胞を正常な血管内皮細胞に強制的に分化させることによって抗がん作用を発揮していることを示している。
試験例1~8に示す通り、生体内において未分化細胞の自己複製と分化誘導を単剤にて実現する化合物が複数あることが初めて見出された。換言すると、動物に候補物質を投与し、未分化細胞及び/又は分化細胞を観察し、これら細胞の増殖効果を指標とすれば、様々な組織の疾患等に効果のある再生医薬の有効成分をスクリーニングできることが明らかとなった。
上述のとおり本発明でスクリーニングされた有効成分は、生体内の周囲環境の下で、がん化を引き起こすことなく、未分化細胞の自己複製と分化誘導をバランスよく正常に促進する作用を有する。有効成分が有する当該作用が白血病幹細胞に対して働いたときのアウトプットが、試験例9の結果であるといえる。すなわち、試験例9におけるがん細胞の血管内皮細胞への強制的な分化は、血管内皮細胞との接着により形成された微小環境の影響下で、化合物7が白血病幹細胞に作用し、正常な血管内皮細胞への分化を促進した結果であるといえる。言い換えると、本発明でスクリーニングされた有効成分は、異常な増殖能をもつ白血病幹細胞と正常な血管内皮細胞が物理的接触を介して行う微小環境下での情報伝達(リン酸化・メチル化・アセチル化等)に働きかけ、白血病幹細胞が血管内皮細胞側への分化に細胞運命の切り替えを行うよう促す効果を持つといえる。
以上のことから、生体に投与したときに未分化細胞と分化細胞の増殖作用を発揮する化合物は、すなわち微小環境の影響下におけるがん細胞の正常細胞への強制的な分化を促進する作用を発揮する化合物であるといえる。換言すると、動物に候補物質を投与し、未分化細胞及び/又は分化細胞を観察し、これら細胞の増殖効果を指標とすれば、がん細胞を正常細胞に強制的に分化誘導する作用を有する抗がん剤の有効成分をスクリーニングできることが、本試験例によって明らかとなった。
