    慢性血栓塞栓性肺高血圧症(CTEPH)は肺動脈内に器質化血栓が形成され肺血流が障害される疾患(国内患者3,000人の希少疾患)である。CTEPHに対する治療法として、抗凝固療法、肺血管拡張薬、肺動脈血栓内膜摘除術(PEA)、経皮的バルーン肺動脈形成術(BPA)といった治療法が広く行われているが、リアルワールドにおけるこれらの治療法の単独もしくは併用のCTEPHに対する有効性・安全性エビデンスが皆無である。CTEPHは希少疾患であるため、大規模な比較対照試験の実施は困難であり、本邦における主要なCTPEH診療施設からのリアルワールドデータを最大限活用してCTEPHの治療法の有効性・安全性に関するエビデンスを創出する(J Thromb Haemost. 2023)。

    Authorship:Principal investigator 

    従来の肺高血圧モデル動物では、肺高血圧患者に認められる進行した病理像(求心性内膜過形成、plexiform病変)を再現することはできなかった。VEGF受容体拮抗薬(Sugen 5416)皮下注+低酸素3週飼育+常酸素10-11週飼育により、全てのヒトの病理像を再現する初めての疾患モデルラット(Su/Hx/Nxモデル)を報告した(Circ 2010)。本モデルの開発により、疾患モデルを用いた肺高血圧症の閉塞性肺血管病変の病態解析研究が可能となった。また、血行動態ストレスが炎症を引き起こし、肺血管リモデリングと右心不全増悪に関わっていることを明らかにした。閉塞性病変進展・維持は「腫瘍性異常細胞の増殖による」とされてきた従来の病態生理の理解から、「血行動態ストレスが主である」という理解へのパラダイムシフトが起こり、肺高血圧の根源的な治療は血行動態ストレス軽減であることが示された(Cardiovasc Res. 2016, 2019)。現在、炎症誘導の機序について研究を進め、Toll-like receptor9など複数の重要な経路を突き止めた(JAHA 2022)。

    これまで肺高血圧症の進展における新たな分子機序としてRhoキナーゼの重要性、およびRhoキナーゼ阻害剤の新たな治療薬としての有効性を示した(Circ Res 2004, 2006, J Cardiovasc Pharmacol. 2004, 2005)。南アラバマ大学在学中にもRhoキナーゼの研究は継続し、チロシンキナーゼ阻害薬のRhoキナーゼ抑制による肺血管拡張効果による治療効果を初めて報告した(Am J Respir Cell Mol Bio. 2011)。九大では、Rho kinaseによる過収縮に対して、内因性一酸化窒素が抑制的に働いていることを示した(Physiol Rep. 2017)。現在、過収縮を増悪させる因子について解析を進めている。
