项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Mitochondria are central regulators of cellular bioenergetics. Reflecting the critical role for mitochondria in metabolism, energy production, and production of reactive oxygen species, a wide range of human diseases have been linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. Included in these, genetic oxidative phosphorylation disorders represent the most common group of inborn errors of metabolism. Isolated complex I deficiency is the most frequent inherited oxidative phosphorylation disorder and leads to a variety of severe metabolic diseases. Patients with complex I deficiency have a range of clinical presentations that reflect particularly involvement of the brain, heart and skeletal muscle. Leigh's disease, a fatal encephalomyopathy, is the most common clinical syndrome. Isolated complex I deficiency usually leads to death within the first two years of life and there is no effective treatment. Although a substantial amount is know regarding the structure and biochemical function of complex I, the mechanisms leading to cellular dysfunction and death in diseases associated with complex I deficiency are much less well understood. A paucity of animal models has contributed to the slow progress in understanding the pathogenesis of complex I deficiency. To address these issues and allow for a detailed genetic analysis of complex I deficiency, we have modeled the disorder in the simple genetic model organism Drosophila. Results of preliminary genetic modifier analyses lead us to propose a novel hypothesis to explain complex I pathogenesis: accumulation of excess reducing equivalents leading to reductive stress. We will now test the role of reductive stress in complex I deficiency using a combination of genetics and biochemistry. We will first perform a genetic dissection of the enzymatic pathways leading to the production and metabolism of NADH, a critical substrate of complex I. We will then use biochemical assays to measure directly the levels of reductive equivalents in animals with altered complex I function, and in our complex I model in the context of genetically modified backgrounds. If successful, our studies will validate a novel hypothesis regarding the pathogenesis of complex I deficiency and thus set the stage for development of new therapeutic approaches.

描述（由申请人提供）：线粒体是细胞生物能学的中心调节剂。反映线粒体在代谢，能量产生和活性氧的产生中的关键作用，各种人类疾病已与线粒体功能障碍有关。其中包括，遗传氧化磷酸化疾病代表了新陈代谢的先天误差最常见的群体。分离的复合物I缺乏是最常见的遗传氧化磷酸化障碍，导致多种严重的代谢疾病。 I缺乏复杂的患者有一系列临床表现，这些临床表现尤其反映了大脑，心脏和骨骼肌的参与。雷氏病是一种致命的脑病，是最常见的临床综合征。孤立的复合物I缺乏通常会在生命的头两年内导致死亡，并且没有有效的治疗方法。尽管有关复合物I的结构和生化功能知之甚少，但与复杂I缺乏症相关的疾病中导致细胞功能障碍和死亡的机制知之甚少。动物模型的匮乏导致理解复杂I缺乏的发病机理的缓慢进展。为了解决这些问题并允许对复杂I缺乏症进行详细的遗传分析，我们在简单的遗传模型有机体果蝇中对该疾病进行了建模。初步遗传修饰剂分析的结果使我们提出了一种新的假设来解释复杂的I发病机理：过量还原等效物的积累导致还原应力。现在，我们将使用遗传学和生物化学的组合来测试还原应力在复杂I缺乏症中的作用。我们将首先对酶途径进行遗传解剖，从而导致NADH的产生和代谢。如果成功，我们的研究将验证一个关于复杂I缺乏发病机理的新假设，从而为开发新的治疗方法奠定了基础。
