项目摘要
Conotruncal defects represent a significant proportion of congenital
cardiac malformations, and several animal models now exist that
demonstrate reproducible abnormalities of this developmental pathway. In
some cases, a single mutant gene is responsible for the abnormal
phenotype. The Splotch mouse represents an animal model for persistent
truncus arteriosus and related abnormalities, in which the specific
genetic defect has been identified. The Splotch mouse is the result of a
mutated Pax-3 gene. Pax-3 is a member of a developmentally critical class
of transcription factors. The aim of this proposal is to identify
molecular pathways regulated by Pax-3 during cardiac development.
The identification of genes regulated by specific transcription factors
remains a major stumbling block in the field of developmental genetics,
and no target genes regulated by Pax-3 have been identified. In order to
identify target genes, I propose a dual approach that requires both the
presence of a high affinity Pax-3 binding site within the genomic
sequence, and putative target gene expression in normal but not Pax-3
deficient mice. Specific DNA sequences recognized by the Pax-3 paired
domain will be selected from amongst a pool of genomic fragments. Genomic
clones corresponding to these fragments will be identified. These genomic
clones will then be further screened with probes derived from a completely
different approach. Differential display PCR will be used to identify cDNA
fragments specifically expressed in normal litter mates of Pax-3 deficient
mice at the time of peak Pax-3 expression just prior to conotruncal
septation. Genomic clones identified by this dual approach will represent
excellent candidates for regulation by Pax-3. Further evidence for direct
regulation will be provided by demonstrating: 1) specific, high affinity
binding of Pax-3 protein to promoter sequences, 2) the ability of Pax-3 to
trans activate a reporter construct containing the candidate promoter
region, and 3) appropriate spatial and temporal expression patterns.
A specific candidate gene, Nf1, will be examined in detail. This gene is
responsible for type I neurofibromatosis. Mice engineered to lack a
functional Nf1 allele uniformly display a specific abnormality of
conotruncal development that is phenotypically different from the Splotch
mouse. Pax-3 and Nf1 may contribute to parallel pathways required for
normal cardiac development. However, available evidence suggests that Nf1
lies downstream of Pax-3. If so, NF1 expression should be altered in
Splotch mice, and mice bred to be homozygous deficient for both genes
should resemble the Splotch homozygote embryos.
Thus, a general scheme for identifying genes regulated by a specific
transcription factor during development is proposed. The sequence of
molecular events leading to conotruncal development will be clarified by
using two mouse models in which the particular mutant gene is known. Under
the guidance of several renowned and devoted mentors who already know and
support the candidate, this proposal will provide the foundation
necessary, and serve as a catalyst, for the transition to independent
research.
