- Finding ways to control the function of leukocytes could help cure infections and tumors with a beneficial immune response, or treat autoimmune diseases with a diminished harmful immune response. Have been.
- leukocytes that is, their proliferation, differentiation, activation, chemotaxis, etc.
- Receptors are extracellular events that occur on the cell surface and bind with high affinity to specific substances (signal molecules) present on the surface of other cells or in body fluids. Is a protein that converts cells into intracellular signals and triggers cell responses [Keiko Nakamura and Kenichi Matsubara, Molecular Biology of Cells (2nd ed.), Kyoikusha, p. 936, 1990 (Japan) )]
- Substances that bind to receptors are generally called ligands.
- leukocyte receptors such as the family of cytokine receptors, the family of EGF (Epiderma 1 Growth Factor) receptors, and the family of seven transmembrane receptors.
- EGF Epiderma 1 Growth Factor
- the seven-transmembrane receptor protein family is one of such receptor families, G-protein-coupled receptor, rhodopsin-type receptor. It is also called the body. Studies of seven transmembrane receptor proteins in leukocytes have been relatively recently started, and it is believed that there are still many unknown seven transmembrane receptor proteins.
- Receptors identified to date as seven-transmembrane receptor proteins present on leukocytes include receptors that bind to anaphylatoxin, receptors that bind to chemokines, and PAF (platelet activation Factors) and other receptors.
- the receptor for anaphylatoxin is neutrophils and macrophages. It is involved in the function of phage, for example, the production of reactive oxygen species, the chemotaxis, and the activation of cell adhesion [Bouley, F. et al., Biochemistry 30, 2993-2999, (1991)].

- IL-18 mutants those that may be considered as therapeutic agents for diseases.
- the receptor In seven transmembrane receptors, the receptor often binds to multiple signal molecules, and the signal molecule also binds to multiple receptors. Therefore, knowing the signal molecule is not enough when considering the treatment of a disease.
- serotonin for a single signal molecule called serotonin, in addition to a seven-transmembrane receptor, an ion channel receptor A total of 14 types of receptors, including receptors for completely different signal transduction pathways, are known, and compounds that specifically bind to individual receptors are also known [1996]. Scientifically, Recept or lon, Hannell Nomenclature supplement, Trends Pharmacol. Sc, (1996)], and the application of each receptor to treatment of different diseases is also considered.
- chemokines In the case of chemokines, a single signal molecule (a kind of chemokine) reacts with many receptors, while a single receptor becomes a large number of signal molecules (multiple kinds of chemokines). Many examples are known [A. Power et al., Trends Pharmaco 1. Sc i. 17, 209-213, (1996)].
- the receptor expressed in the cell is specified rather than the signal molecule that acts on the cell. This is important.

- chemokines there are more new chemokines in the chemokine group [Howard, OMZ et al., TIBTECH, 14, 46-51, (1996)].
- the receptor is expected to be present. As described above, not all receptors for molecules acting on leukocytes have been understood, and it is considered that leukocytes have more seven-transmembrane receptor proteins. It is thought that identifying a substance (signal molecule) that alters the action of such a receptor will provide a method for controlling the function of leukocytes and, consequently, a disease.
- autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis are characterized by refractory chronic inflammation that is systemic or organ-specific.
- inadequacies such as the low therapeutic effect of the drug used for the treatment, or the strong side effect even if the therapeutic effect is high.
- drugs that clarify the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases and that specifically inhibit only those mechanisms are needed.
- the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases is thought to involve genetic factors and infection in addition to acquired immune abnormalities, and the details have not yet been elucidated.
- animal models have recently shown that cellular immunity is involved in the induction and exacerbation of chronic inflammation in autoimmune diseases. It became clear.
- the reaction between a type of leukocyte, a self-reactive T cell, and an autoantigen on an antigen-presenting cell triggers the secretion of cytokins and chemokines, the migration of cells to it, and other reactions.
- the cascade of reactions begins to move, creating inflammation with the infiltration of more self-reactive T cells and another leukocyte, a mononuclear cell, which is thought to trigger an autoimmune disease I have. Therefore, suppressing the activation of autoreactive T cells is thought to suppress various subsequent reactions and lead to the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
- Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, and its pathological model is experimental allergic encephalomyelitis of the mouse (EA £, experiment al al ergic encepha l omye litis). Is a pathological model whose analysis of the pathogenesis is advanced. This disease model is based on the myelin basic protein found in the nerve myelin.

Neuro immuno 1.58, 167-176 (1995)]. However, no receptor that controls the function of these cells, especially the seven-transmembrane receptor protein, has been reported so far. Thus, not all molecules and their receptors that act on leukocytes, especially on autoreactive T cells, have been understood, nor have they been known on autoreactive T cells. The presence of a transmembrane receptor protein is expected. By identifying substances that alter the actions of these various novel receptors, it is necessary to control the function of autoreactive T cells and, consequently, establish a method for controlling autoimmune diseases. Be expected.
