项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Hypertriglyceridemia (hyperTG) is common and is causally associated with at least two important medical consequences: recurrent acute pancreatitis when TGs are extremely elevated and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) across a wide range of elevated TGs. Both of these represent unmet medical needs, as current approaches to reducing TGs are often insufficient in reducing extremely elevated TGs, preventing pancreatitis, and/or reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. These observations emphasize the need for novel therapies to reduce TGs and the clinical sequelae of hyperTG and elevated triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs). Human genetics studies indicate that TRLs are causally related to risk of pancreatitis and CVD, and have identified a number of potential therapeutic targets. In this project we focus on ApoC-III and ApoA-V, which are genetically validated and reciprocally modulate LPL activity, thereby influencing triglyceride levels and risk of pancreatitis and CVD. This proposal will build upon our work in the current grant cycle and will provide new information regarding ApoA-V and its reciprocal relationship with ApoC-III, as well as enhance the development of ApoA-V based therapeutic strategies to reduce the clinical consequences of elevated TGs and TRLs. We will derive a detailed understanding of the structure-function relationships of ApoA-V and gain greater insight into the mechanisms by which ApoA-V enhances LPL and possibly reduces VLDL secretion. This information will be highly relevant to informing the development of translational therapies that target ApoA-V with the goal of reducing elevated triglycerides and the clinical sequelae of acute pancreatitis and atherosclerotic CVD.

项目摘要高甘油三酯血症（高血压）很常见，并且与至少两个重要的医学有关后果：当TG极高升高和动脉粥样硬化心血管时，复发性急性胰腺炎疾病（CVD）遍布广泛升高的TG。这两者都代表了未满足的医疗需求，因为减少TG的方法通常不足以减少极高的TG，防止胰腺炎，和/或减少心血管疾病（CVD）风险。这些观察结果强调了新型疗法的需求减少催眠和甘油三酸酯富含甘油三酸酯（TRL）的TGS和临床后遗症。人类遗传学研究表明，TRL与胰腺炎和CVD的风险有因果关系，并且已经确定了一个数字潜在的治疗靶标。在这个项目中，我们专注于APOC-III和APOA-V，这是经过遗传验证的并相互调节LPL活性，从而影响甘油三酸酯水平和胰腺炎和CVD的风险。这提案将基于当前赠款周期的工作，并将提供有关apoa-v及其的新信息与APOC-III的相互关系，并增强基于APOA-V的治疗策略的发展减少TG和TRL升高的临床后果。我们将获得对 ApoA-V的结构功能关系，并对ApoA-V增强的机制有了更大的了解 LPL并可能减少VLDL的分泌。这些信息将与告知开发的高度相关靶向apoA-V的转化疗法的目的是减少甘油三酸酯升高和临床后遗症急性胰腺炎和动脉粥样硬化CVD。
