项目摘要

The objective of this proposal is to determine the involvement of the lipid phosphatase PTEN in the formation of steatosis and liver damage during alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Although there are publications concerning the role of PTEN in ALD, these reports are using a static time point in a fluid model and do not address the possibility of both PTEN inactivation via aldehyde modification and changes in PTEN regulation/expression over a period of alcohol exposure. Our working hypothesis states the reactive aldehyde 4-HNE, produced in the liver of chronic ethanol treated mice covalently adducts PTEN thereby reducing enzymatic activity leading to disregulation in PTEN downstream signaling. 4-HNE has already been implicated in the inactivation of proteins during chronic ethanol exposure in the liver. It is also hypothesized that increased PTEN expression leads to changes in downstream pathways ultimately leading to increased steatosis seen in ALD. In order to fulfill the objectives of this research proposal, experiments will be performed using mass spectrometry to identify the sites of 4-HNE modification on PTEN, the ability of these adducts to inhibit enzymatic activity, membrane association and Trx1 association. In addition, using western blotting, immunohistochemistry and mRNA expression, the effects of variable PTEN expression on downstream signaling pathways will be examined following 9-weeks of chronic ethanol exposure.

该提案的目的是确定脂质磷酸酶PTEN参与酒精性肝病（ALD）期间脂肪变化和肝损伤的形成。尽管有关于PTEN在ALD中的作用的出版物，但这些报告正在使用流体模型中的静态时间点，并且没有解决通过醛修饰既失活的可能性，又无法解决PTEN调节/表达在酒精暴露期间的变化。我们的工作假设指出，在慢性乙醇处理的小鼠的肝脏中产生的反应性醛4-HNE共价添加PTEN，从而降低了酶促活性，从而导致PTEN下游信号传导毫无调节。 4-HNE已经与肝脏慢性乙醇暴露期间蛋白质失活有关。还可以假设，PTEN表达增加会导致下游途径的变化最终导致ALD中看到的脂肪变化。为了实现本研究建议的目标，将使用质谱法进行实验，以识别PTEN上4-HNE修饰的位点，这些加合物抑制酶活性，膜关联和TRX1关联的能力。此外，使用蛋白质印迹，免疫组织化学和mRNA表达，将在9周的慢性乙醇暴露后检查可变的PTEN表达对下游信号通路的影响。
