项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Wilson’s disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the copper-transporting P- type ATPase, ATP7b, resulting in excessive copper accumulation primarily in the liver and brain. Elevation of free copper leads to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, steatosis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis. Treatments for Wilson’s disease are limited to chelation or zinc therapies and often associated with many side effects. Atp7b-/- mice exhibit hallmarks of the progressive liver pathology present in Wilson’s disease patients. By using specific nuclear receptors expressed in the liver and intestine, we will address transcriptomic and metabolomic changes to understand how copper reprograms the metabolic and cellular signaling pathways in the liver of Atp7b-/- mice. The lack of well-defined molecular mechanisms for therapeutic targeting represents a critical gap in our scientific understanding of liver disease. Our preliminary data in Atp7b-/- mice revealed decreased metabolic nuclear receptor activity and target gene expression that dynamic changes in hepatic metabolic composition. We also discovered that hepatic nodule formation in older Atp7b-/- mice is exacerbated by deletion of PXR in Atp7b-/- mice. These findings suggest that reprogrammed metabolism and cell cycle regulation contribute to the hepatic phenotype of Atp7b-/- mice, and overlap other chronic hepatic disorders. Rationale: definition of molecular targets of Cu++ toxicity will provide novel therapeutic targets for WD treatment. Our proposed studies will test the central hypothesis: Cu++-compromises PXR activities and promotes liver dysfunction in Wilson’s disease.

项目摘要威尔逊氏病是由铜运输P-突变引起的一种常染色体隐性疾病键入ATPase，ATP7B，导致肝脏和大脑中过量的铜积聚。高程游离铜会导致氧化应激和线粒体功能障碍，注射，脂肪变性，纤维化和肝硬化。威尔逊氏病的治疗仅限于螯合或锌疗法，通常与许多副作用。 ATP7B - / - 小鼠暴露了威尔逊氏病中出现的进展性肝病的标志患者。通过使用肝脏和肠中表达的特定核接收器，我们将解决转录组以及代谢组的变化，以了解铜重新编程的代谢和细胞信号通路在ATP7B - / - 小鼠的肝脏中。缺乏针对热靶向的明确定义明确的分子机制代表我们对肝病的科学理解的关键差距。我们在ATP7B - / - 小鼠中揭示的初步数据开发了代谢核接收器活性和靶向基因表达，肝动态变化代谢成分。我们还发现，较旧的ATP7B - / - 小鼠中的肝节点形成加剧通过删除ATP7B - / - 小鼠中的PXR。这些发现表明重编代谢和细胞周期调节有助于ATP7B - / - 小鼠的肝表型，并重叠其他慢性肝病。理由：CU ++毒性的分子靶标的定义将为WD治疗提供新颖的治疗靶标。我们提出的研究将检验中心假设：CU ++ - 损害PXR活动并促进肝脏威尔逊氏病的功能障碍。
