项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The esophageal lining is regularly exposed to irritants such as alcohol, cigarette smoke, hot beverages, dietary nitroso-compounds, and refluxate of gastro-duodenal contents, and disorders of the esophagus are significant health problems in the U.S. and throughout the world. For example, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) leads to 8.9 million U.S. clinic visits annually, and esophageal cancer is the 6th most common cause of cancer death worldwide. In esophageal epithelia, the key transcriptional regulator Kr¿ppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) promotes normal proliferation and migration, as we have shown, and we recently identified a novel relationship between KLF5 and p53 in esophageal epithelial cells, whereby p53 acts as a "molecular switch" for KLF5. p53 mutation in primary human esophageal keratinocytes converts KLF5 from pro-proliferative to anti-proliferative, an effect mediated predominantly by p21Waf1/Cip1, and KLF5 transcriptionally activates the keratinocyte tumor suppressor NOTCH1 when p53 is mutant but not with wild-type p53. In additional Preliminary Data, we demonstrate that KLF5 suppresses p53 in esophageal keratinocytes and provide evidence for genome-wide coordinate regulation by KLF5 and p53. Our overarching hypothesis is that KLF5 and p53 orchestrate a broad transcriptional program in esophageal keratinocytes that controls proliferation, growth arrest, apoptosis, and transformation. To test this hypothesis, we will pursue the following interrelated Specific Aims: 1. We will delineate the mechanisms through which KLF5 regulates p53 levels and function~ 2. We will define the mechanism for KLF5 functional switching on p21Waf1/Cip1~ 3. We will identify common and exclusive targets of KLF5 in the context of wild-type and mutant p53~ and 4. We will determine the functional consequences of KLF5 loss and p53 mutation in vivo. These complementary approaches are supported by our robust Preliminary Data, both published and unpublished. Moreover, the PI is an experienced investigator who is an expert in the Kr¿ppel-like factors (KLFs), transcriptional regulation, animal models of gastrointestinal diseases, and esophageal squamous cell biology, as demonstrated by recent, relevant corresponding-author publications in Cancer Research, PLoS One, Cell Cycle, and Neoplasia. In addition, the PI is supported by a superb research team, complemented by expert collaborators, and by the exceptional resources, facilities, and intellectual environment of the University of Pennsylvania and the NIH-funded Center for Molecular Studies in Digestive and Liver Diseases. Overall, the proposed studies will provide key insights into the transcriptional regulation of esophageal epithelial homeostasis and the molecular pathways that underlie esophageal diseases, both benign and malignant.

项目概要食管内壁经常暴露于刺激物，如酒精、香烟烟雾、热饮、饮食等。亚硝基化合物、胃十二指肠内容物反流以及食道疾病很重要美国和世界各地的健康问题，例如胃食管反流病 (GERD)。美国每年有 890 万人次就诊，食管癌是第六大常见癌症原因在食管上皮细胞中，关键的转录调节因子 Kr¿ ppel 样因子 5 (KLF5) 正如我们所表明的，促进正常的增殖和迁移，并且我们最近发现了一种新的关系食管上皮细胞中的 KLF5 和 p53 之间存在，因此 p53 充当 KLF5 的“分子开关”。原代人食管角质形成细胞的突变将 KLF5 从促增殖转变为抗增殖，主要由 p21Waf1/Cip1 介导的效应，KLF5 转录激活角质形成细胞肿瘤当 p53 突变但野生型 p53 不存在时，我们会抑制 NOTCH1。证明 KLF5 抑制食管角质形成细胞中的 p53，并为全基因组研究提供证据 KLF5 和 p53 的协调调节我们的总体假设是 KLF5 和 p53 协调广泛的作用。食管角质形成细胞中控制增殖、生长停滞、凋亡和为了检验这一假设，我们将追求以下相互关联的具体目标： 1. 我们将描述 KLF5 调节 p53 水平和功能的机制~ 2. 我们将定义 p21Waf1/Cip1~ 上 KLF5 功能切换的机制~ 3. 我们将确定 KLF5 在野生型和突变型 p53~ 和 4 的背景下。我们将确定这些互补的方法得到了我们强大的支持。初步数据（已发表和未发表）此外，PI 是一位经验丰富的调查员。 Kr¿ 专家ppel样因子（KLFs）、转录调控、胃肠道疾病动物模型、和食管鳞状细胞生物学，如最近的相关通讯作者出版物所证明的此外，PI 还得到了卓越的支持。研究团队，辅以专家合作者以及卓越的资源、设施和宾夕法尼亚大学和 NIH 资助的分子研究中心的智力环境总体而言，拟议的研究将为转录提供重要见解。食管上皮稳态的调节和食管的分子途径疾病，有良性和恶性之分。
