项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Renal fibrosis is the final common pathologic finding in chronic kidney disease. Recent research efforts have uncovered a vast network of inflammatory signals and cell types responsible for generating renal myofibroblasts that are instrumental in creating and propagating fibrosis. An emerging literature base supports that eicosanoids, broadly characterized as biologically active lipid products of enzymatic cleavage, may play a major role in renal disease, in particular renal fibrosis. Our project seeks to characterize the contribution of eicosanoids in propagating renal fibrosis using an animal model of chronic kidney disease as well cell culture techniques. Specifically, we are using genetic knockout mice to elucidate the role that cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) derived eicosanoids have in creating fibrosis. Specific aim 1 will investigate the role that eicosanoids play in propagating fibrosis in an animal model of chronic kidney disease. We will be using unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) in wild type (WT) and cPLA2 genetic knockout (KO) mice. Using techniques such as liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry we will be able to profile tissue levels of cPLA2 derived eicosanoid products in these mouse populations after UUO, look at degree of fibrosis and inflammation, and perform bone marrow transplants to delineate the contribution from circulating inflammatory cells. Our preliminary data shows upregulated tissue expression of prostanoid, lipoxygenase, and cytochrome P450 products after UUO. These are potential unexplored pathways to target with existing drug therapies. Specific aim 2 will attempt to establish the cell type responsible for the phenotypes observed above using a co-culture system. Specifically, we plan to use a mouse immortalized cell line, MCT cells in co-culture with macrophages isolated from our experimental mice. By cell specific genetic knockout we can observe the molecular cross-talk between these cell lines to determine the major cell type contributing to injury relating this to the studies done in animals. Our preliminary data in human immortalized epithelial cells demonstrates that cPLA2 gene silencing induces phenotypic changes that may indicate an altered resident cell response to injurious stimuli.

描述（由申请人提供）：肾纤维化是慢性肾病最终常见的病理表现。最近的研究工作发现了一个巨大的炎症信号和细胞类型网络，这些信号和细胞类型负责产生肾肌成纤维细胞，这些细胞有助于产生和传播纤维化。新兴的文献基础支持类二十烷酸，其广泛的特征是酶裂解的生物活性脂质产物，可能在肾脏疾病，特别是肾纤维化中发挥重要作用。我们的项目旨在利用慢性肾病动物模型以及细胞培养技术来表征类二十烷酸在传播肾纤维化中的作用。具体来说，我们使用基因敲除小鼠来阐明胞浆磷脂酶 A2 (cPLA2) 衍生的类二十烷酸在造成纤维化中的作用。具体目标 1 将研究类二十烷酸在慢性肾病动物模型中传播纤维化中的作用。我们将在野生型 (WT) 和 cPLA2 基因敲除 (KO) 小鼠中使用单侧输尿管梗阻 (UUO)。使用液相色谱和质谱等技术，我们将能够分析 UUO 后这些小鼠群体中 cPLA2 衍生的类二十烷酸产物的组织水平，观察纤维化和炎症的程度，并进行骨髓移植以描绘循环炎症细胞的贡献。我们的初步数据显示 UUO 后前列腺素类、脂氧合酶和细胞色素 P450 产物的组织表达上调。这些是现有药物疗法的潜在未探索途径。具体目标 2 将尝试使用共培养系统建立导致上述观察到的表型的细胞类型。具体来说，我们计划使用小鼠永生化细胞系 MCT 细胞与从实验小鼠中分离出的巨噬细胞共培养。通过细胞特异性基因敲除，我们可以观察这些细胞系之间的分子串扰，以确定导致损伤的主要细胞类型，这与在动物身上进行的研究有关。我们在人类永生化上皮细胞中的初步数据表明，cPLA2 基因沉默会诱导表型变化，这可能表明驻留细胞对有害刺激的反应发生了改变。
