- the degreasing film was transferred to a vial and stored at ⁇ 80 ° C. for about 1 month until used for RNA extraction.
- RNA preparation and sequencing The oil removal film from 1) above was cut to an appropriate size, and RNA was transferred to the aqueous layer according to the attached protocol using QIAzol Lysis Reagent (Qiagen). RNA was extracted from the aqueous layer according to the attached protocol using a commercially available RNA extraction kit using a spin column for RNA extraction. The extracted RNA was reverse transcribed at 42 ° C. for 90 minutes using the SuperScript VILO cDNA Synthesis kit (Life Technologies Japan Co., Ltd.) to synthesize cDNA. The random primer included in the kit was used as the primer for the reverse transcription reaction. From the obtained cDNA, a library containing DNA derived from the 20802 gene was prepared by multiplex PCR.
- 4845 gene expression level data (Log 2 (RPM + 1) value) was prepared for each of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th SSL samples from 18 subjects. These are referred to as the first, second, third, and fourth gene expression level data based on the order from the first visit.
- the four genes CIZ1, ADAM15, STED1B, and TWF1 shown in Table 2 had an A value of 4 or a B value of 3 or more, and had a high correlation with the EASI score. Since there have been no reports suggesting a relationship between these four genes and atopic dermatitis, it was determined that these four genes could be novel markers for detecting the degree of atopic dermatitis.
- the two genes LYNX1 and PSME shown in Table 3 had an A value of 4 or a B value of 3 or more, and had a high correlation with the POEM score. Since there have been no reports suggesting a relationship between these two genes and atopic dermatitis, it was judged that these two genes could be a novel marker for detecting the degree of atopic dermatitis.
- the seven genes ALPK1, ATG16L2, CSNK1D, GSK3A, LSM10, SASH3, and VSIR shown in Table 4 had an A value of 4 or a B value of 3 or more, and had a high correlation with itch. Since there have been no reports suggesting a relationship between these 7 genes and atopic dermatitis, it was judged that these 7 genes could be a novel marker for detecting the degree of atopic dermatitis.
- the three genes TSC22D3, PLXNC1 and SLC12A6 shown in Table 5 had an A value of 4 or a B value of 3 or more, and had a high correlation with drought. Since there have been no reports suggesting a relationship between these three genes and atopic dermatitis, it was judged that these three genes could be novel markers for detecting the degree of atopic dermatitis.

また本発明は、被験者におけるアトピー性皮膚炎の症度を検出する方法であって、被験者における前記アトピー性皮膚炎の症度検出のためのマーカーの発現レベルを測定することを含む、方法を提供する。
また本発明は、以下の遺伝子:ADAM15、AGR2、ALPK1、APOD、ATG16L2、CIZ1、CSNK1D、FASN、GSK3A、ITPKB、LSM10、LYNX1、ODC1、PDK4、PLXNC1、PSME2、SASH3、SETD1B、SLC12A6、TSC22D3、TWF1、及びVSIR、ならびに該遺伝子の発現産物からなる群より選択される少なくとも1種の、アトピー性皮膚炎の症度検出のためのマーカーとしての使用、又はアトピー性皮膚炎の症度検出のためのマーカーの製造における使用を提供する。
ADの症度が反映されるバイオマーカーが求められている。従来のADの存在の有無や症度を評価するためのマーカーは、主に、集団解析、すなわち異なる症度に属する群(例えば、罹患群と正常群、又は重症群と軽症群)間での対比に基づいて見出されてきた。しかし、これら集団解析で見出された従来のマーカーは、各群内における症度の軽微な違いを反映できるものとは限らず、これらの従来のマーカーによるADの症度の詳細な評価は困難であった。AD患者の症度をより精密に検出することができれば、患者の病態の正しい把握、ひいては患者に適した最適治療の提供が可能になる。
これらのマーカーは、表1Aに含まれるポジティブマーカーである。該ポジティブマーカーの発現レベルは、ADによる全身の皮疹の症度、例えばEASIスコアと正の相関を示す。
これらのマーカーは、表1Aに含まれるポジティブマーカーである。該ポジティブマーカーの発現レベルは、ADによる全身の皮疹の症度、例えばPOEMスコアと正の相関を示す。
これらのマーカーは、表1Bに含まれるネガティブマーカーである。該ネガティブマーカーの発現レベルは、ADによる皮膚の痒みの症度、例えば皮膚の痒みのVASスコアと負の相関を示す。
これらのマーカーは、表1Bに含まれるネガティブマーカーである。該ネガティブマーカーの発現レベルは、ADによる皮膚乾燥の症度、例えば皮膚乾燥のVASスコアと負の相関を示す。
これらのマーカーには、表1Aに含まれるポジティブマーカーと、表1Bに含まれるネガティブマーカーとが含まれる。該ポジティブマーカーの発現レベルは、ADによる顔面部紅斑の症度、例えば紅斑インデックスと正の相関を示す。一方、該ネガティブマーカーの発現レベルは、ADによる顔面部紅斑の症度、例えば紅斑インデックスと負の相関を示す。
別の一態様において、本発明は、上記1.で説明した本発明のマーカーを用いた、ADの症度の検出方法を提供する。本発明によるADの症度の検出方法(以下、本発明の方法という)では、被験者における本発明のマーカーの発現レベルに基づいて、該被験者におけるADの症度を検出する。一実施形態において、本発明の方法では、本発明のマーカーの発現レベルを指標に、被験者のADの症度、つまり症状がどの程度悪いかを検出する。さらに、異なる時期に検出された症度を比較することで、被験者のAD症度の変化(例えば増悪又は軽快)を検出することが可能になる。したがって本発明の方法の別の一実施形態においては、本発明のマーカーの発現レベルの変化を指標に、被験者のADの症度の変化(例えば症状の増悪又は軽快)を検出する。
本発明の方法に供される被験者は、上述した本発明のマーカーを含む生体試料を採取される被験者と同様である。好ましい実施形態において、本発明の方法は、被験者から採取した生体試料における本発明のマーカーの発現レベルを測定することを含む。該生体試料の種類は、上述したとおりであり、好ましくはSSLである。一実施形態において、本発明の方法は、該被験者のSSLを採取することをさらに含んでいてもよい。SSLの採取手順、及びSSLからのマーカーの抽出手順は、上述したとおりである。
該逆転写における伸長反応では、温度を好ましくは42℃±1℃、より好ましくは42℃±0.5℃、さらに好ましくは42℃±0.25℃に調整し、一方、反応時間を好ましくは60分間以上、より好ましくは80~120分間に調整することが好ましい。
該PCRにおけるアニーリング及び伸長反応の温度は、使用するプライマーに依存するため一概には言えないが、上記のマルチプレックスPCRキットを用いる場合、好ましくは62℃±1℃、より好ましくは62℃±0.5℃、さらに好ましくは62℃±0.25℃である。したがって、該PCRでは、好ましくはアニーリング及び伸長反応が1ステップで行われる。該アニーリング及び伸長反応のステップの時間は、増幅すべきDNAのサイズ等に依存して調整され得るが、好ましくは14~18分間である。該PCRにおける変性反応の条件は、増幅すべきDNAに依存して調整され得るが、好ましくは95~99℃で10~60秒間である。上記のような温度及び時間での逆転写及びPCRは、一般的にPCRに使用されるサーマルサイクラーを用いて実行することができる。
前記マイクロアレイに固定化される核酸としては、ストリンジェントな条件下に標的の核酸マーカーに特異的(すなわち、実質的に標的の核酸マーカーのみに)にハイブリダイズする核酸であればよく、本発明の核酸マーカーの全配列を有する核酸であっても、部分配列からなる核酸であってもよい。該「部分配列」としては、少なくとも15~25塩基からなる核酸が挙げられる。ここでストリンジェントな条件としては、通常「1×SSC、0.1%SDS、37℃」程度の洗浄条件、好ましくは「0.5×SSC、0.1%SDS、42℃」程度の条件、さらに好ましくは「0.1×SSC、0.1%SDS、65℃」程度の条件を挙げることができる。ストリンジェントなハイブリダイズ条件は、例えばJ.Sambrook et al.,Molecular Cloning:A Laboratory Manual,Third Edition,Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press(2001)に記載されている。
該プローブ又はプライマーの具体的な例としては、本発明の核酸マーカーの全配列又は部分配列からなるオリゴヌクレオチド又はその相補鎖を利用することができる。該「相補鎖」とは、標的マーカーを特異的に認識する限り、完全に相補的な配列に限られず、好ましくは80%以上、より好ましくは90%以上、さらに好ましくは95%以上、さらに好ましくは98%以上の配列同一性を有する配列であればよい。配列の同一性は、上述したNCBI BLAST等のアルゴリズムにより決定することができる。
該核酸マーカーの測定に用いられるプライマーの例としては、標的の核酸マーカーに対して特異的なアニーリング及び鎖伸長ができるものであって、好ましくは10塩基以上、より好ましくは15塩基以上、さらに好ましくは20塩基以上、かつ好ましくは100塩基以下、より好ましくは50塩基以下、さらに好ましくは35塩基以下の鎖長を有するものが挙げられる。
該核酸マーカーの測定に用いられるプローブの例としては、標的の核酸マーカーに対して特異的なハイブリダイゼーションができるものであって、好ましくは10塩基以上、より好ましくは15塩基以上、かつ好ましくは100塩基以下、より好ましくは50塩基以下、さらに好ましくは25塩基以下の鎖長を有するものが挙げられる。

本発明の方法の一実施形態においては、被験者に由来する本発明のマーカー(該被験者から採取した生体試料中に含まれる本発明のマーカー)の発現レベルに基づいて、該被験者におけるADの症度を検出する。
該基準値は、ADの症度(ADの症度に係るスコア値に基づいて分類されたAD症状のレベル又はADの症度に係るスコア値)と標的マーカーの発現レベルの関係に基づき、予め決定することができる。例えば、ある集団を、ADの症度に基づいて異なる症度の複数の群に分け、それぞれの群における標的マーカーの発現レベルの統計値(例えば平均値)を参考に、それぞれの群への属否を判別する基準値を決定することができる。標的マーカーとして複数種のマーカーを用いる場合は、各々のマーカーについて基準値を求めることが好ましい。該集団としては、ADを有する患者群でも、健常者とADを有する患者群を合わせた群でも、特定の症度のADを有する患者群でもいずれでもよい。また、検出の対象となる被験者に応じて、年代ごと、世代ごと、男女ごとあるいは人種ごとに集団を作成してもよい。
基準値の算出に用いられる群の例としては、軽度のADを有する群(軽度群)、中等度のADを有する群(中等度群)、重度のADを有する群(重度群)などが挙げられる。あるいは、より詳細な症度の分類に基づく患者群を選出し、該患者群ごとに基準値を算出してもよい。対照としての健常群(ADを有さない群)を含めてもよい。
一例において、ADによる全身の皮疹の症度(例えば、EASIスコアに対応するADの症度)を検出する場合、AD患者群からEASIスコアに基づいて群分けされた、特定のAD症度を有する2以上の群から基準値が算出され得る。
別の一例において、ADによる全身の皮疹の症度(例えば、POEMスコアに対応するADの症度)を検出する場合、AD患者群からPOEMスコアに基づいて群分けされた、特定のAD症度を有する2以上の群から基準値が算出され得る。

別の一例において、ADによる顔面部紅斑の症度を検出する場合、AD患者群から顔面部紅斑に関する紅斑インデックスに基づいて群分けされた、特定のAD症度を有する2以上の群から基準値が算出され得る。
一例においては、ADによる全身の皮疹の症度(例えば、EASIスコアに対応するADの症度)の変化が検出される。標的マーカーには、上述したADによる全身の皮疹の症度の検出のためのマーカー、例えば、EASIスコアに対応するアトピー性皮膚炎の症度を検出することができるマーカーが使用される。
別の一例においては、ADによる全身の皮疹の症度(例えば、POEMスコアに対応するADの症度)の変化が検出される。標的マーカーには、上述したADによる全身の皮疹の症度の検出のためのマーカー、例えば、POEMスコアに対応するアトピー性皮膚炎の症度を検出することができるマーカーが使用される。
別の一例においては、ADによる皮膚の痒みの症度の変化が検出される。標的マーカーには、上述したADによる皮膚の痒みの症度の検出のためのマーカー、例えば、ADによる皮膚の痒みのVASスコアに対応するアトピー性皮膚炎の症度を検出することができるマーカーが使用される。

別の一例においては、ADによる顔面部紅斑の症度の変化が検出される。標的マーカーには、上述したADによる顔面部紅斑の症度の検出のためのマーカー、例えば、ADによる顔面部紅斑に係る紅斑インデックスに対応するアトピー性皮膚炎の症度を検出することができるマーカーが使用される。
本発明の方法の別の一実施形態においては、被験者に由来する本発明のマーカー(該被験者から採取した生体試料中に含まれる本発明のマーカー)の発現レベルについてのデータ(以下、発現プロファイルと呼ぶ)を用いて構築した予測モデルに基づいて、該被験者におけるADの症度を検出する。発現プロファイルの例としては、シーケンシングのリードカウント等の発現レベルに関するデータが挙げられる。
さらなる一態様において、本発明は、上記2.で説明した本発明の方法に従って被験者におけるADの症度を検出するためのキットを提供する。一実施形態において、本発明のキットは、上述した本発明のマーカーの発現レベルを測定するための試薬又は器具を備える。例えば、本発明のキットは、本発明の核酸マーカーを増幅又は定量するための試薬(例えば、逆転写酵素、PCR用試薬、プライマー、プローブ、シーケンシング用アダプター配列等)、又は本発明のタンパク質マーカーを定量するための試薬(例えば、免疫学的測定のための試薬、抗体など)を備え得る。好ましくは、本発明のキットは、本発明の核酸マーカーと特異的にハイブリダイズするオリゴヌクレオチド(例えば、PCR用のプライマー、又はプローブ)、あるいは、本発明のタンパク質マーカーを認識する抗体を含有する。好ましくは、本発明のキットは、本発明のマーカーの発現レベルを評価するための指標又はガイダンスを備える。例えば、本発明のキットは、各マーカーに関係するADの症状(例えば皮疹、皮膚痒み、皮膚乾燥、顔面部紅斑など)を説明するガイダンス、各マーカーの発現レベルの増減とADの症度との関係を説明するガイダンス、又はADの症度検出のために各マーカーの発現レベルの基準値を説明するガイダンス、又は予測モデルに基づく判別式とそれに入力する特徴量マーカーについてのガイダンス、などを備え得る。また本発明のキットは、生体試料採取デバイス(例えば、上記のSSL吸収性素材又はSSL接着性素材)、生体試料から本発明のマーカーを抽出するための試薬(例えば核酸精製用試薬)、生体試料採取後の試料採取デバイスの保存剤や保存用容器などをさらに備えていてもよい。

実施例1 SSL由来RNAを用いたアトピー性皮膚炎の症度検出マーカーの探索
1)アトピー性皮膚炎患者の症度に係るスコアの取得及びSSL採取
アトピー性皮膚炎(AD)を有する成人18名(23~57歳、男性)を被験者とした。被験者は、初回測定時に皮膚科専門医により重症度が軽症及び中等症のアトピー性皮膚炎であるとの診断を受けたAD患者であった。被験者は14日おきに計4回来場し、ADの症度に係るスコアの取得とSSLの採取を受けた。以下では、集めたADの症度に係るスコア及びSSLをそれぞれ、初回の来場からの順番に基づき、1回目、2回目、3回目、4回目のスコア及びSSLサンプルと称する。ADの症度に係るスコアとして、医師による全身のEASIスコア(Hanifin et al.,Exp dermatol,10,2001、全身の皮疹に基づき症状を0~72までにスコアリングする)と、被験者自身による、全身のPOEMスコア(Charman et al.,Arch Dermatol,140,2004、全身の皮疹に基づき症状を0~28までにスコアリングする)、全身の皮膚の痒みのVASスコア(痒みの強さを0~100までにスコアリングする)及び全身の皮膚の乾燥のVASスコア(乾燥の強さを0~100までにスコアリングする)と、ハイパースペクトラルイメージング装置(ハイパースペクトルカメラNH-7、エバ・ジャパン社)による顔面部画像に基づく顔面部の紅斑インデックス(特開2018-23756号公報、及びDawson et al.,Phys Med Biol,25,1980を参照)とをそれぞれ用いた。顔面部の紅斑インデックスの計算では、下式(1)に従ってハイパースペクトラルイメージング装置による顔面部正面画像上の各画素ごとに紅斑インデックスを算出した。画像上の額、両目の上部及び両頬に相当する部分に任意のROI(Region of Interest)を定め、5か所のROIでの紅斑インデックスの平均値を顔面部の紅斑インデックスとして用いた。
上記1)のあぶら取りフィルムを適当な大きさに切断し、QIAzol Lysis Reagent(Qiagen)を用いて、付属のプロトコルに準じてRNAを水層に移行させた。該水層から、RNA抽出用スピンカラムを用いた市販のRNA抽出キットを用いて、付属のプロトコルに従いRNAを抽出した。抽出されたRNAを、SuperScript VILO cDNA Synthesis kit(ライフテクノロジーズジャパン株式会社)を用いて42℃、90分間逆転写し、cDNAを合成した。逆転写反応のプライマーには、キットに付属しているランダムプライマーを使用した。得られたcDNAから、マルチプレックスPCRにより20802遺伝子に由来するDNAを含むライブラリーを調製した。マルチプレックスPCRは、Ion AmpliSeqTranscriptome Human Gene Expression Kit(ライフテクノロジーズジャパン株式会社)を用いて、[99℃、2分→(99℃、15秒→62℃、16分)×20サイクル→4℃、Hold]の条件で行った。得られたPCR産物は、Ampure XP(ベックマン・コールター株式会社)で精製した後に、バッファーの再構成、プライマー配列の消化、アダプターライゲーションと精製、及び増幅を行い、ライブラリーを調製した。調製したライブラリーをIon 540 Chipにローディングし、Ion S5/XLシステム(ライフテクノロジーズジャパン株式会社)を用いてシーケンシングした。シーケンシングで得られた各リード配列をヒトゲノムのリファレンス配列であるhg19 AmpliSeq Transcriptome ERCC v1を用いて遺伝子マッピングすることで各リード配列の由来する遺伝子を決定した。
上記2)で測定した被験者のSSL由来RNAのシーケンシングによる各リードのリードカウントを、各RNAの発現レベルのデータとした。シーケンシングでの増幅領域が少なくとも2つ以上のエキソンをまたぐ遺伝子を解析対象遺伝子とした。サンプル間の総リードカウントの違いを補正するため、解析対象遺伝子のリードカウントをRPM(Reads per million mapped reads)値に変換した。この中で、90%以上のサンプルで20以上のリードカウントが得られている4845遺伝子を以下の解析に使用した。さらに、RPM値を正規分布に近似するため、整数1を加算した底2の対数値(Log2(RPM+1)値)に変換した。以上の手順で、18名の被験者からの1回目、2回目、3回目、及び4回目のSSLサンプルのそれぞれについて、4845遺伝子の発現レベルデータ(Log2(RPM+1)値)を作成した。これらをそれぞれ、初回の来場からの順番に基づき、1回目、2回目、3回目、及び4回目の遺伝子発現レベルデータと称する。
i)EASIスコアと相関する遺伝子の探索
上記1)で取得した18名のAD患者の1回目のEASIスコアと、上記3)で算出された18名のAD患者の4845遺伝子の1回目の遺伝子発現レベルデータ(Log2(RPM+1)値)を基に、EASIスコアと各遺伝子発現レベルのスピアマン(Spearman)の相関係数Rsを算出した。同様に、2~4回目のEASIスコアと遺伝子発現レベルのRsをそれぞれ算出した。算出したRsをそれぞれ、各遺伝子についての1回目~4回目のRsと称する。
上記1)で取得した18名のAD患者の1回目のPOEMスコアと、上記3)で算出された18名のAD患者の4845遺伝子の1回目の遺伝子発現レベルデータ(Log2(RPM+1)値)を基に、POEMスコアと各遺伝子発現レベルのスピアマンの相関係数Rsを算出した。同様に、2~4回目のPOEMスコアと遺伝子発現レベルのRsをそれぞれ算出した。算出したRsをそれぞれ、各遺伝子についての1回目~4回目のRsと称する。
上記1)で取得した18名のAD患者の1回目の皮膚痒みのVASスコアと、上記3)で算出された18名のAD患者の4845遺伝子の1回目の遺伝子発現レベルデータ(Log2(RPM+1)値)を基に、該VASスコアと各遺伝子発現レベルのスピアマンの相関係数Rsを算出した。同様に、2~4回目の該VASスコアと遺伝子発現レベルのRsをそれぞれ算出した。算出したRsをそれぞれ、各遺伝子についての1回目~4回目のRsと称する。
上記1)で取得した18名のAD患者の1回目の皮膚乾燥のVASスコアと、上記3)で算出された18名のAD患者の4845遺伝子の1回目の遺伝子発現レベルデータ(Log2(RPM+1)値)を基に、該VASスコアと各遺伝子発現レベルのスピアマンの相関係数Rsを算出した。同様に、2~4回目の該VASスコアと遺伝子発現レベルのRsをそれぞれ算出した。算出したRsをそれぞれ、各遺伝子についての1回目~4回目のRsと称する。
