项目摘要

This proposal will characterize the link between endochondral ossification, where hypertrophic cartilage is replaced by bone and marrow, and the development of a functional immune system. To do this, collagen X transgenic (Tg) and knock-out mice (KO) mice will be used since the disease phenotype involves growth plate defects, which lead to an altered marrow environment and aberrant hematopoiesis. It is proposed that collagen X and other matrix molecules, e.g. glycosaminoglycans and heparan sulfate proteoglycans, provides a structural network that sequesters cytokines in hypertrophic cartilage, and disruption of this network may cause inappropriate signaling at the growth plate/marrowjunction leading to an altered marrow environment and defective hematopoiesis. To test this, 1) The involvement of the bone marrow resident cells, e.g. stromal cells, hypertrophic cartilage, and/or osteoblasts, from the collagen X mice in the disease phenotype will be confirmed with bone marrow transplants, 2) Further, the collagen X mouse marrow environment will be assayed for support of hematopoiesis in vitro, function of lymphocytes will be tested, and the marrow resident cells will be assayed individually for the ability to support hematopoiesis. 3) Finally, a mechanism will be explored that links aberrant cytokine expression, due to decompartmentalization of the hypertrophic network, to altered hematopoiesis via real-time RT-PCR of growth plate and marrow tissue from collagen X mice. Resulting data may elucidate how a hematopoietic marrow is established, and which skeletal defects might contribute to marrow alterations and hematopoietic disorders. Understanding the relationship between skeletal development and hematopoiesis may reveal which skeletal defects contribute to marrow alterations, leading to hematopoietic disorders and impaired immunity, such as bone marrow failure and immune dysfunction (e.g. aplastic anemia, rheumatoid arthritis), autoimmunity, as well as certain cancers (e.g. leukemia, lymphoma).

该提案将描述软骨内骨化之间的联系，其中肥大性软骨是被骨骼和骨髓所取代，以及功能性免疫系统的发展。为此，胶原蛋白 X 由于疾病表型涉及生长，因此将使用转基因（Tg）和敲除小鼠（KO）小鼠板缺陷，导致骨髓环境改变和造血异常。建议胶原蛋白 X 和其他基质分子，例如糖胺聚糖和硫酸乙酰肝素蛋白聚糖，提供了一个结构网络，可以隔离肥大软骨中的细胞因子，并破坏该网络网络可能会在生长板/骨髓连接处引起不适当的信号传导，从而导致骨髓改变环境和造血缺陷。为了测试这一点，1）骨髓驻留者的参与细胞，例如基质细胞、肥大软骨和/或成骨细胞，来自患病的 X 型胶原蛋白小鼠表型将通过骨髓移植得到证实，2) 此外，胶原蛋白 X 小鼠骨髓将分析环境以支持体外造血，将测试淋巴细胞的功能，并且将单独检测骨髓驻留细胞支持造血的能力。 3）最后，将探索一种机制，将由于细胞因子的去区室化而导致的异常细胞因子表达联系起来。肥大网络，通过生长板和骨髓组织的实时 RT-PCR 改变造血功能来自胶原蛋白 X 小鼠。由此产生的数据可以阐明造血骨髓是如何建立的，以及造血骨髓是如何建立的。骨骼缺陷可能导致骨髓改变和造血障碍。了解骨骼发育和造血之间的关系可能会揭示哪些骨骼缺陷会导致骨髓改变，导致造血障碍和免疫力受损，例如骨髓衰竭和免疫功能障碍（例如再生障碍性贫血、类风湿性关节炎）、自身免疫等以及某些癌症（例如白血病、淋巴瘤）。
