项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Wilson’s disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the copper-transporting P- type ATPase, ATP7b, resulting in excessive copper accumulation primarily in the liver and brain. Elevation of free copper leads to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, steatosis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis. Treatments for Wilson’s disease are limited to chelation or zinc therapies and often associated with many side effects. Atp7b-/- mice exhibit hallmarks of the progressive liver pathology present in Wilson’s disease patients. By using specific nuclear receptors expressed in the liver and intestine, we will address transcriptomic and metabolomic changes to understand how copper reprograms the metabolic and cellular signaling pathways in the liver of Atp7b-/- mice. The lack of well-defined molecular mechanisms for therapeutic targeting represents a critical gap in our scientific understanding of liver disease. Our preliminary data in Atp7b-/- mice revealed decreased metabolic nuclear receptor activity and target gene expression that dynamic changes in hepatic metabolic composition. We also discovered that hepatic nodule formation in older Atp7b-/- mice is exacerbated by deletion of PXR in Atp7b-/- mice. These findings suggest that reprogrammed metabolism and cell cycle regulation contribute to the hepatic phenotype of Atp7b-/- mice, and overlap other chronic hepatic disorders. Rationale: definition of molecular targets of Cu++ toxicity will provide novel therapeutic targets for WD treatment. Our proposed studies will test the central hypothesis: Cu++-compromises PXR activities and promotes liver dysfunction in Wilson’s disease.

项目概要威尔逊氏病是一种常染色体隐性遗传病，由铜转运蛋白 P- 突变引起。 ATP酶，ATP7b，导致铜过度积累，主要在肝脏和大脑中升高。游离铜会导致氧化应激和线粒体功能障碍、炎症、脂肪变性、纤维化和肝硬化的治疗仅限于螯合疗法或锌疗法，并且通常与肝硬化有关。 Atp7b-/- 小鼠表现出威尔逊病中进行性肝脏病理学的特征。通过使用肝脏和肠道中表达的特定核受体，我们将解决转录组学问题。和代谢变化，以了解铜如何重新编程代谢和细胞信号通路 Atp7b-/- 小鼠肝脏中缺乏明确的治疗靶向分子机制。我们对 Atp7b-/- 小鼠的初步数据揭示了我们对肝病的科学理解中的一个关键差距。代谢核受体活性和靶基因表达降低，导致肝脏动态变化我们还发现老年 Atp7b-/- 小鼠的肝结节形成加剧。通过在 Atp7b-/- 小鼠中删除 PXR 这些发现表明，代谢和细胞周期被重新编程。调节有助于 Atp7b-/- 小鼠的肝脏表型，并且与其他慢性肝脏疾病重叠。理由：Cu++ 毒性分子靶点的定义将为 WD 治疗提供新的治疗靶点。我们提出的研究将检验中心假设：Cu++-损害 PXR 活性并促进肝脏功能威尔逊氏病的功能障碍。
