项目摘要

ABSTRACT Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are a significant burden to aging men and are often as a result of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). While BPH/LUTS is not commonly fatal with proper medical intervention, it does cause a significant reduction in quality of life for many men as they age. Furthermore, BPH/LUTS increases risk of mortality and results in billions of dollars in healthcare costs annually. There is currently a subset of BPH/LUTS patients that fail FDA-approved treatments (α-blockers, 5ARI), and these patients have been shown to have increased prostatic fibrosis. There is no FDA-approved medication targeting fibrosis or the aging process in BPH/LUTS, even though aging is the greatest risk factor. This proposal aims to develop a better understanding about the role of aging, fibrosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction in BPH/LUTS. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of both aging and fibrosis and has not been thoroughly studied in relation to BPH/LUTS. Preliminary data suggests that oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is a mitochondrial pathway contributing to cellular dysfunction in BPH/LUTS. Aim 1 of this proposal intends to investigate the connection between OXPHOS disruption and lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in a novel mouse model. Aim 2 of this proposal will investigate the connection between OXPHOS disruption and pathways associated with fibrosis, using genetic loss-of-function cell line models. Finally, Aim 3 will work to identify a new pathway of interest for treatment, using oleic acid as a mitochondrial metabolism modulator. Collectively, these aims will improve our overall understanding of the processes underlying BPH/LUTS, with a special focus on aging, mitochondrial dysfunction, and fibrosis. This proposal hopes to provide translational outcomes that can eventually improve patient care and treatment options.
抽象的 较低的尿路症状(LUTS)对衰老的男性造成了明显的燃烧,通常是良性的 前列腺增生(BPH)。虽然BPH/LUTS通常在适当的医疗干预措施中并非致命,但 随着年龄的增长,许多男性的生活质量大大降低。此外,BPH/LUTS增加了风险 每年的死亡率和数十亿美元的医疗保健费用。目前有BPH/LUT的子集 失败FDA批准治疗的患者(α受体阻滞剂,5ARI),这些患者已被证明具有 前列腺纤维化增加。没有FDA批准的药物针对纤维化或衰老过程 BPH/LUTS,即使衰老是最大的危险因素。该建议旨在建立更好的理解 关于衰老,纤维化和线粒体功能障碍在BPH/LUTS中的作用。线粒体功能障碍是 衰老和纤维化的标志,与BPH/LUTS有关。初步的 数据表明氧化磷酸化(OXPHOS)是一种有助于细胞的线粒体途径 BPH/LUTS中的功能障碍。该提案的目标1旨在研究O​​xphos之间的联系 新型小鼠模型中的破坏和较低的尿路功能障碍(LUTD)。该提议的目标2将 使用通用性研究Oxphos破坏与纤维化相关的途径之间的联系 功能丧失的单元线模型。最后,AIM 3将努力确定一种新的治疗途径 油酸作为线粒体代谢调节剂。总的来说,这些目标将改善我们的整体 了解BPH/LUTS的过程,特别关注衰老,线粒体功能障碍, 和纤维化。该建议希望提供转化结果,有时可以改善患者护理和 治疗选择。
