项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The key leukocytes associated with chronic inflammation are macrophages. Macrophages play an important role in the development of lung tumors from initiated cells in lung cancer and in experimental respiratory carcinogenesis. We propose a series of in vivo modulations of macrophage activation to determine how these inflammatory phenotypes affect lung tumorigenesis in mouse models. Among the manipulations are exogenous addition of cytokines, bone marrow transplants of genetically distinct marrow populations, varying the number and activation status of pulmonary macrophages during chemical carcinogenesis, as well as using conditional lung-targeted oncogene induction of neoplasia. The macrophage activation states we will examine have distinct physiological roles. M1 activation results from bacterial infection, while M2 activation is key in adaptive immunity. To distinguish between these two phenotypes, we examine arginine metabolism. M1 activation is characterized by inducible nitric oxide synthase expression which results in arginine metabolism to citruline and nitric oxide while M2 activation results in arginase expression leading to polyamine biosynthesis. We will investigate in vitro co-culture models varying lung epithelial and macrophage composition. We will thus deduce which macrophage activation states can modify lung epithelial cell behavior, and examine how epithelial cells at different states of neoplasia affect macrophages. These experiments will provide a molecular understanding of how inflammation promotes lung cancer.

描述（由申请人提供）：与慢性炎症相关的关键白细胞是巨噬细胞。巨噬细胞在肺癌起始细胞发展为肺肿瘤和实验性呼吸道癌发生中发挥重要作用。我们提出了一系列巨噬细胞激活的体内调节，以确定这些炎症表型如何影响小鼠模型中的肺肿瘤发生。这些操作包括外源性添加细胞因子、遗传上不同的骨髓群的骨髓移植、在化学致癌过程中改变肺巨噬细胞的数量和激活状态，以及使用有条件的肺靶向癌基因诱导瘤形成。我们将检查的巨噬细胞激活状态具有不同的生理作用。 M1 激活是细菌感染的结果，而 M2 激活是适应性免疫的关键。为了区分这两种表型，我们检查了精氨酸代谢。 M1 激活的特点是诱导型一氧化氮合酶表达，导致精氨酸代谢为瓜氨酸和一氧化氮，而 M2 激活导致精氨酸酶表达，从而导致多胺生物合成。我们将研究不同肺上皮和巨噬细胞组成的体外共培养模型。因此，我们将推断哪些巨噬细胞激活状态可以改变肺上皮细胞的行为，并检查不同肿瘤形成状态的上皮细胞如何影响巨噬细胞。这些实验将从分子角度理解炎症如何促进肺癌。
