项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this competitive renewal application is to continue our ongoing studies on hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β (HNF-1β) and its roles in the regulation of kidney-specific gene expression and cystic kidney diseases. HNF-1β is a DNA-binding transcription factor that regulates tissue-specific gene expression in the kidney and other epithelial organs. Mutations of HNF-1β produce renal developmental abnormalities including renal agenesis, hypoplasia, cystic dysplasia, and glomerulocystic kidney disease. To unravel the pathogenesis of these anomalies, we have produced mutant mice that develop phenotypes similar to affected humans. Kidney-specific inactivation of HNF-1β or expression of dominant-negative mutant HNF-1β in transgenic mice produces kidney cysts and renal failure. Analysis of these mutant mice has revealed that HNF-1β regulates the transcription of genes encoding ciliary proteins that are involved in human cystic kidney diseases. These findings demonstrate that HNF-1β plays a central role in cystic and developmental diseases of the kidney. To further elucidate the functions of HNF-1β, the proposed studies have two specific aims. The first aim is to understand how HNF-1β regulates Wnt signaling. Preliminary studies have shown that HNF-1β regulates genes that are involved in Wnt signaling, and inhibition of HNF-1β results in abnormal activation of the Wnt pathway, which may underlie cyst formation. Studies will be performed in mutant mice, cultured cells, and organ culture to elucidate the mechanism of activation of Wnt signaling. The second aim is to characterize microRNAs that are regulated by HNF-1β in the kidney. In addition to protein-coding genes, HNF-1β regulates the expression of microRNAs, which are small non-coding RNAs that regulate post-transcriptional gene expression. These findings have revealed a novel pathway by which HNF-1β regulates tissue-specific gene expression and kidney development. The functions of two families of microRNAs that are regulated by HNF-1β will be studied, and their target mRNA transcripts will be identified. Collectively, the proposed studies will advance our understanding of normal kidney development, unravel how mutations of HNF-1β produce kidney diseases, and identify potential therapeutic targets for cystic and developmental diseases of the kidney.

描述（由申请人提供）：本竞争性更新申请的目的是继续我们正在进行的关于肝细胞核因子-1β（HNF-1β）及其在肾脏特异性基因表达和囊性肾病调节中的作用的研究。 1β 是一种 DNA 结合转录因子，调节肾脏和其他上皮器官中的组织特异性基因表达。HNF-1β 突变会导致肾脏发育异常，包括肾发育不全、发育不全、囊性。为了揭示这些异常的发病机制，我们培育了与受影响人类相似的肾脏特异性失活 HNF-1β 或在转基因小鼠中表达显性失活突变 HNF-1β 的突变小鼠。对这些突变小鼠的分析表明，HNF-1β 调节与人类囊性肾病有关的纤毛蛋白的转录。 HNF-1β 在肾脏囊性和发育性疾病中发挥着核心作用为了进一步阐明 HNF-1β 的功能，拟议的研究有两个具体目标：初步研究是了解 HNF-1β 如何调节 Wnt 信号传导。研究表明，HNF-1β 调节参与 Wnt 信号传导的基因，抑制 HNF-1β 会导致 Wnt 通路异常激活，这可能是囊肿形成的基础，将在突变小鼠中进行研究。第二个目的是表征肾脏中受 HNF-1β 调节的 microRNA。除了蛋白质编码基因外，HNF-1β 还调节 microRNA 的表达。，它们是调节转录后基因表达的小非编码 RNA。这些发现揭示了 HNF-1β 调节组织特异性基因表达和肾脏发育的新途径。我们将研究 HNF-1β 调节的 microRNA，并鉴定其靶标 mRNA 转录本，总的来说，拟议的研究将增进我们对正常肾脏发育的理解，揭示 HNF-1β 突变如何导致肾脏疾病，并确定潜在的治疗方法。肾脏囊性和发育性疾病的目标。
