项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Diesel exposure has been associated with significant exacerbations in heart disease but the underlying mechanisms by which these exacerbations are mediated and the possible effects of in utero and early life exposure are poorly understood. We have found that mice exposed to diesel exhaust in utero and/or early in life develop increased left ventricular hypertrophy and a predisposition to heart failure as adults. Specificall, we have found that male mice exposed to diesel exhaust in utero and/or early in life develop left ventricular hypertrophy compared to those exposed to filtered air, while female mice exposed in utero and postnatally develop decreased ejection fraction. When the male mice undergo aortic banding, they progress more rapidly to heart failure than the filtered air controls. We hypothesize that in utero exposure to diesel exhaust creates epigenetic modifications in the hearts of exposed animals that predispose to myocardial hypertrophy and/or heart failure as adults, in possibly a gender specific fashion. Accordingly, we propose to examine genome wide epigenetic modifications in neonatal and adult mouse hearts after in utero exposure to diesel exhaust. We will also examine how these modifications vary by gender and alter global RNA expression patterns immediately after exposure and after transverse aortic constriction, a potent inducer of cardiac hypertrophy. We predict that diesel exhaust will induce epigenetic changes that alter expression of genes that confer susceptibility to hypertrophy and heart failure.

描述（由申请人提供）：柴油暴露与心脏病的显着恶化有关，但人们对这些恶化的潜在机制以及子宫内和早期暴露的可能影响知之甚少。我们发现，在子宫内和/或生命早期接触柴油废气的小鼠，成年后左心室肥厚增加，并易患心力衰竭。具体来说，我们发现，与暴露于过滤空气的小鼠相比，在子宫内和/或生命早期暴露于柴油废气的雄性小鼠会出现左心室肥大，而在子宫内和出生后暴露于柴油废气的雌性小鼠则出现射血分数下降。当雄性小鼠接受主动脉结扎术时，它们比过滤空气对照更快地发展为心力衰竭。我们假设，在子宫内暴露于柴油废气会在暴露动物的心脏中产生表观遗传修饰，这些修饰在成年后容易导致心肌肥大和/或心力衰竭，可能以性别特异性的方式。因此，我们建议检查子宫内暴露于柴油尾气后新生和成年小鼠心脏的全基因组表观遗传修饰。我们还将研究这些修饰如何因性别而异，以及在暴露后和横主动脉缩窄（心脏肥大的有效诱导物）后立即改变整体 RNA 表达模式。我们预测柴油机尾气将引起表观遗传变化，从而改变基因的表达，从而导致肥厚和心力衰竭的易感性。
