项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Blood vessels must be properly shaped and placed and have a hierarchical organization with characteristic and distinct calibers to perform their vital circulatory function. In particular, vascular caliber is the primary determinant of blood flow properties. Thus, abnormalities in luminal morphometry disrupt blood circulation and decrease cardiovascular health. We found that Semaphorin-Plexind1 (Sema-Plxnd1) signaling, known for its role in guiding the anatomical patterning of the vasculature, plays a novel blood flow-dependent role in determining the caliber of the axial midline vessels (the major artery and vein of the body). Our aims are as follows. (1) To define the signaling pathways and cellular mechanisms by which Plxnd1, its Sema3 ligands, and blood flow regulate the caliber of these vessels. (2) To define the structural bases of Plxnd1-dependent vessel caliber sizing and the role of Semas and flow forces as modulators of Plxnd1 expression, apicobasal targeting, and flow mechanosensing activity. We will use zebrafish as our primary model system to exploit its unique experimental advantages for studying vascular development, function, and signaling in vivo. We will also perform experiments with mice to determine if the receptor's novel role is conserved in mammals. Finally, to further illuminate how Sema ligands and circulatory forces modulate Plexin-D1 expression, localization, and function, we will perform studies with human endothelial cell systems under tunable flow conditions.

项目摘要血管必须适当形状并放置，并具有具有特征性的等级组织和独特的口径以执行其重要的循环功能。特别是，血管口径是主要的血流特性的决定因素。因此，管腔形态计量学的异常破坏了血液循环并降低心血管健康。我们发现信号（sema-plxnd1）信号传导，以它在指导脉管系统的解剖学模式中的作用，在确定轴向中线血管的口径（人体的主要动脉和静脉）。我们的目标是跟随。（1）定义PLXND1，其SEMA3配体和的信号通路和细胞机制血流调节这些容器的口径。（2）定义PLXND1依赖船的结构碱基口径尺寸以及SEMAS和流动力作为PLXND1表达的调节剂的作用，Apicobasal靶向，和流量传感活性。我们将使用斑马鱼作为我们的主要模型系统来利用其独特的研究血管发育，功能和体内信号的实验优势。我们也会对小鼠进行实验，以确定受体的新作用是否在哺乳动物中保守。最后，到进一步阐明了SEMA配体和循环力如何调节Plexin-D1表达，定位和功能，我们将在可调流条件下对人内皮细胞系统进行研究。
