- the receptors for liposoluble hormones collectively referred to as nuclear receptors.
- nuclear receptors As a result of analyzing the amino acid sequences of various nuclear receptors, These are ligand-dependent transcription factors with a common basic structure, and have been shown to form one gene family. That is, steroid receptors such as darcocorticoid receptor, progesterone receptor, mineralocorticoid receptor, andorogen receptor, estrogen receptor, retinoid receptor such as retinoid X receptor, retinoic acid receptor, and peroxisome.
- proliferator activated receptor is a family one consisting of vitamin D 3 receptor and thyroid hormone receptor. It is known that functional domains of these receptors, such as the ligand binding site and the site recognizing the sequence of the target DNA, are clearly separated [Science, 240, 889 (1988)]. Some receptors have been isolated from homology but have unknown ligands.
- PPAR receptors peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors

- ⁇ , ⁇ , and ⁇ are known.
- type A is expressed in adipose tissue, immune cells, adrenal gland, spleen, and small intestine
- type is expressed in liver and retina
- type ⁇ is universally expressed without any tissue specificity. ing.
- the Fas antigen is a membrane protein that has been clearly shown to be involved in programmed cell death (apoptosis).
- Yonehara et al Produced monoclonal antibodies against human cell surface antigens and obtained anti-Fas antibodies that show lethal activity against various human cells [see L Exp. Med., 169, 1747 (1989)]. ].
- the cDNA of the cell surface molecule recognized by the anti-Fas antibody was isolated, and the structure of the human Fas antigen was determined [see Cell, 66, 233 (1991)].
- This Fas antigen is composed of 335 amino acids, and the N-terminal 16 amino acids are estimated to be signal peptides.
- the Fas antigen is similar to that of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor, apoptosis by the Fas antibody is presumed to occur by a mechanism similar to that of TNF.
- the functional region of the Fas antigen has also been gradually elucidated, and the region essential for apoptosis signal transduction (functional expression region) is known to be the amino acid sequence from the 175th to the 304th amino acid [J. Biol.
- the function expression region is considered to be an amino acid sequence from the 166th position to the 291st position corresponding to the region of the human Fas antigen.
- the receptor has a ligand binding domain and a signal transduction domain.
- a ligand binds to the ligand binding domain, the three-dimensional structure of the signal transduction domain changes, and the signal is transmitted to another protein or DNA.
- RM Evans and colleagues convert enzymes into chemiluminescent or visible dye products or introduce substituents downstream of the Ga14 response element (eg, luciferase, / 3-galactosida).
- substituents downstream of the Ga14 response element eg, luciferase, / 3-galactosida.

- the present inventors have repeatedly studied for the purpose of high-speed screening of a compound that binds to a ligand of a nuclear receptor, and as a result, achieved the objective by using a repo overnight expression system that expresses a Fas protein. I found that.
- the vector was stably transfected into mouse fibroblast L922 cells. The cells proliferated in a state where the ligand II compound did not bind to the amino acid sequence of the ligand binding region of the nuclear receptor. However, when the ligand II compound bound, the expression of the F s protein was induced and cell death occurred.
- the surviving cells After washing and separating the dead cells from the surviving cells, the surviving cells are stained with a dye, and the absorbance is measured to interact with the ligand-binding region of the nuclear receptor and functionally activate the transcription factor.
- the high-speed screening method of the present invention is a novel method that has never been known before.
- the method of the present invention uses the functional region of the Fas structural protein as a reporter, expresses the Fas protein, causes cell death, and measures the result. Chemiluminescence (particularly, luciferase) is used as the reporter. Alternatively, it is completely different from the method of RM Evans et al., Which measures the expression level (enzyme activity) of an enzyme using an enzyme that produces a visible dye (especially, 3-galactosidase).
- RM Evans et al Introduced DNA into cells on the first day, stimulated with serum, re-seed if necessary, The schedule is a minimum of 4 days in which the test compound is added 8 hours later (day 3), and luciferase activity is measured 24 hours later (last day).
- transient transfection when introducing DNA into cells poses a problem of stability and comparison between experiments. DNA encoding different enzymes to standardize each measurement May be co-introduced, but the operation becomes complicated.
- the method using Luciferase requires a large number of examples because the fluctuation of each value is large (usually n to 3 to 4).
- the test compound is added on the first day, and in the latter half of the next day (36 hours later), the schedule is a minimum of 2 days in which cells can be measured by dye staining. Also, since L922 cells (same clone) are used, comparison between experiments is easy. In addition, the method using the stably transfected cells does not require a large number of cases because the fluctuation of each value is small.
- a ligand compound capable of changing the function of a nuclear receptor can be rapidly evaluated, and the operation itself is simple.
- the fluctuation of each value is small, and comparison between experiments can be performed, and it is very stable.
- an automatic measuring instrument (mouth pot) that is actually widely used is provided with an absorbance measuring instrument as a standard specification, so it can be said that it is a compound evaluation system compatible with a mouth pot. This is completely unpredictable from the viewpoint of the prior art, and the present inventors have confirmed this through experiments for the first time.

- Example 4 Reporter gene: Construction of a repo overnight plasmid in which a TK promoter and an MFas structural gene are arranged under a Ga14 transcription factor response element
- the expression vector pTK3 (Clontech, Cat. No. 6179-1) under the control of the simple virus virus thymidine kinase (TK) promoter was used. NotI sites upstream and downstream of the / 3 galactosidase structural gene of pTK3 were digested and smoothed.
- DNA encoding the MFas protein which is a DNA fragment to be inserted, was digested from pBSMFas with both HindIII and BamHI restriction enzymes, cut out, and then blunted. Both DNA fragments were ligated, and a clone in which the MFas structural gene was ligated in the forward direction downstream of the TK promoter was selected.
- the resulting plasmid of about 4400 bp, pTK-MFas carries DNA encoding the M fas protein under the control of the TK promoter overnight.
- the basic unit (UAS) is repeated four times, and G a 14 response element having Sa 1 I site and ZS ac I site at both ends: 5 '— T (CGACGGAGTACTGTC CTCCG) X 4 AGCT-3' (SEQ ID NO: 18)
- An enhancer region was obtained by insertion into the Sail-SacI site in the pTK-MFas-ML1 multicloning site.
- p4XUAS-TK-MFas (about 4600 bp) was constructed, in which the MF promoter structural gene was placed one after another at 4TK.
- Obtained expression vector PS Vgal / ⁇ LBD, pS Vgal / ⁇ LBD or pS Vgal / ⁇ LBD and repo overnight plasmid and pS V2bsr was subjected to linearization by Aatil treatment, linearization by NotI treatment, and untreated (as it was in a non-linear state).
- the cells were introduced into mouse fibroblast L929 using Lipofect AMINE (GIBC0, Cat. No. 18324-012). Cells stably transfected were selected by the method described in Exp. Cell Res., 197, 229 (1991) (Blasticidin S selection).
