项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Glomerular disease is the third leading cause of end stage renal disease in the US, with its related health care costs estimated at $4.1 billion annually. Nephrotic syndrome (NS), characterized by podocyte injury, is one of the most common forms of glomerular disease. Importantly, progressive podocyte injury and loss are also known to be critical determinants of glomerular disease progression. Since the signaling pathways in podocytes most critical for regulation of injury are not yet known, there is an urgent need to better understand which pathways are most able to regulate podocyte injury and recovery to enable the development of more targeted and effective therapies for NS. Our long-term goal is to define specific molecular signaling pathways able to regulate podocyte injury in NS to develop more targeted and less toxic therapies for NS. The overall objective of this proposal is to determine the ability of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor g (PPARg), and MAPK signaling pathways to regulate podocyte injury, and to exploit this knowledge to develop more effective novel therapies for NS. Based on this, we hypothesize that specific manipulation of the GR and PPARg nuclear receptor pathways and MAPK pathways, and cross-talk among them, will reduce podocyte injury during NS. The rationale for the proposed studies is that specific manipulation of GR-, PPARg-, and MAPK-mediated pathways or cross-talk among them can ameliorate glomerular injury in NS, and will enable the development of more effective novel approaches to treat NS in the future. To test our hypothesis, we propose the following Specific Aims: 1) To determine if manipulation of critical components of GR and PPARg nuclear receptor signaling can enhance podocyte protection from injury, 2) To determine the extent and biologic significance of cross-talk among the GC-, TZD-, and MAPK-mediated signaling pathways during podocyte injury, and 3) To determine if manipulation of GC-, TZD-, and MAPK-mediated signaling can ameliorate glomerular injury in animal models of NS. These studies will identify specific potential targets for future drug therapy in NS, and potentially many other glomerular diseases where podocyte injury plays a central role. Validation of these podocyte signaling components as potential drug targets will guide the development of more targeted, more effective, and less toxic therapies for one of the most common kidney diseases in the US.

描述（由申请人提供）：肾小球疾病是美国终末期肾病的第三大原因，其相关的医疗保健费用每年估计为 41 亿美元。肾病综合征（NS）以足细胞损伤为特征，是肾小球疾病最常见的形式之一。重要的是，进行性足细胞损伤和丢失也被认为是肾小球疾病进展的关键决定因素。由于足细胞中对损伤调节最关键的信号通路尚不清楚，因此迫切需要更好地了解哪些通路最能够调节足细胞损伤和恢复，以便开发更有针对性和更有效的 NS 疗法。我们的长期目标是定义能够调节 NS 足细胞损伤的特定分子信号通路，以开发更具针对性和毒性较小的 NS 治疗方法。该提案的总体目标是确定糖皮质激素受体（GR）、过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体 g（PPARg）和 MAPK 信号通路调节足细胞损伤的能力，并利用这些知识开发更有效的新疗法NS。基于此，我们假设对 GR 和 PPARg 核受体通路和 MAPK 通路的特定操作以及它们之间的交互作用将减少 NS 期间的足细胞损伤。拟议研究的基本原理是，对 GR-、PPARg- 和 MAPK 介导的途径或它们之间的串扰进行特定操作可以改善 NS 中的肾小球损伤，并将有助于开发更有效的新方法来治疗 NS 中的 NS。未来。为了检验我们的假设，我们提出以下具体目标：1) 确定操纵 GR 和 PPARg 核受体信号传导的关键成分是否可以增强足细胞免受损伤的保护，2) 确定足细胞之间串扰的程度和生物学意义。足细胞损伤期间 GC、TZD 和 MAPK 介导的信号通路，以及 3) 确定操纵 GC、TZD 和 MAPK 介导的信号通路是否可以改善足细胞损伤期间的肾小球损伤NS动物模型。这些研究将确定未来药物治疗的具体潜在靶点在 NS 以及许多其他潜在的肾小球疾病中，足细胞损伤起着核心作用。验证这些足细胞信号传导成分作为潜在药物靶点将指导针对美国最常见的肾脏疾病之一开发更有针对性、更有效且毒性更小的疗法。
