项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The p53 protein is a site-specific transactivator or repressor of transcription that promotes apoptosis, in part, by modulating the expression of select target genes. Studies have implicated p53 in the pathogenesis of neuronal cell death occurring after DNA damage orexcitotoxicity, or in neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington?s Disease and Alzheimer?s Disease. However, the cellular consequences of p53 activation in neurons are poorly understood, and a comprehensive survey of changes in gene and protein expression in neurons after p53 activation is therefore needed. This project will combine the use of cDNA microarray technology and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometric analysis of the proteome to rapidly and comprehensively characterize p53-dependent changes in mRNA and protein expression in cortical neurons derived from p53+/+ and p53-/- mice after genotoxic or excitotoxic injury. Proteins essential to p53-mediated neuronal cell death will be identified and investigated further to elucidate their function. One such gene product, Peg3, is a Kruppel-type zinc finger protein and putative transcription factor that has recently been implicated in p53-mediated apoptosis in fibroblasts. Using transient transfection or exposure to DNA damaging agents, Peg3 expression will be manipulated in cortical neurons derived from wild type, p53-/- or bax-/- mice, and the effects on neuronal cell death will be assessed. The study of Peg3 will serve as a model for the investigation of other p53-regulated gene products in neurons. The candidate has earned both the M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard Medical School, and is now nearing completion of a residency in neurosurgery at the University of Washington, where he has recently been appointed as an Acting Instructor. The proposed research represents a continuation of the candidate?s longstanding interest in the physiology and survival of neurons. The skills acquired will assist the candidate in establishing an independent research career to study the determinants, of neuronal survival, differentiation and function.

描述（由申请人提供）：p53蛋白是特定地点的反式激活因子或转录的阻遏物，部分促进凋亡，部分通过调节选定靶基因的表达。研究已牵涉 DNA损伤或神经退行性疾病（如亨廷顿疾病和阿尔茨海默氏病）在DNA损伤后发生神经元细胞死亡的发病机理的p53。然而，对神经元中p53激活的细胞后果知之甚少，因此需要对p53激活后神经元中基因和蛋白质表达的变化进行全面调查。该项目将结合cDNA微阵列技术的使用和蛋白质组的傅立叶转化离子回旋共振质谱分析快速，全面地表征mRNA和mRNA的p53依赖性变化源自p53+/+和p53 - / - 小鼠的皮质神经元中的蛋白质表达遗传毒性或兴奋性损伤后。 p53介导的必不可少的蛋白质神经元细胞死亡将被识别并进一步研究以阐明他们的功能。这样的基因产品PEG3是Kruppel型锌指蛋白质和推定的转录因子最近与 p53介导的成纤维细胞凋亡。使用瞬态转染或暴露对于DNA损伤剂，PEG3表达将在皮质神经元中操纵源自野生型，p53 - / - 或bax - / - 小鼠，以及对神经元细胞的影响将评估死亡。 PEG3的研究将成为研究神经元中其他p53调节的基因产物。候选人获得了医学博士学位和博士学位哈佛医学院的学位，是现在接近大学神经外科居住华盛顿，最近被任命为代理讲师。这拟议的研究代表了候选人的延续对神经元生理和生存的兴趣。获得的技能将协助候选人建立独立的研究职业来研究神经元存活，分化和功能的决定因素。
