项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary: V(D)J recombination, a programmed DNA rearrangement process for assembling antigen receptors during the development of lymphocytes, poses a potential threat to genomic stability. The long-term objective is to understand the mechanism of cell cycle control of V(D)J recombination and suppression of tumorigenesis in developing lymphocytes. The key hypothesis is that the gene mutated in ataxia telangiectasia (ATM) plays a key role in cell cycle control of V(D)J recombination, lack of this control may directly lead to chromosomal translocations and lymphoma. The hypothesis is based on 1) ATM is physically located at the V(D)J recombination sites, 2) ATM-/- mice succumb to early thymic lymphomas with chromosomal translocations and 3) eliminating V(D)J recombination eradicates chromosomal translocation in ATM-/- mice and delays the onset of lymphoma. Our specific aims are: 1) to establish the role of ATM in containing V(D)J recombination related DNA breaks within the G07G1 phase of the cell cycle. We will use specialized assay for V(D)J specific DNA breaks in cells at different cell cycle status, purified from wild-type and ATM-/- mice, and during T and B lymphocyte development; 2) to understand how ATM functions in containing DNA breaks during V(D)J recombination, we will compare regulation of Rag nuclease, and histone H2AX phosphorylation in wild-type and ATM-/- mice, both factors are key regulators in generating, containing and/or efficient joining of DNA breaks: 3) to understand the tumorigenesis in ATM deficient mice, we will fully characterize ATM-/- lymphomas, to establish cytogenetic profiles, translocation junctions and to determine the potential oncogenes affected; We will also set to establish a mouse embryonic stem cell ESC) culture, to induce differentiation into T and B lymphocytes, to characterize V(D)j recombination, to compare results from wild-type and ATM-ESC, and to determine how DNA breaks lead to translocation in ATM-/-, and to adoptive transfer both T and B cells into immunodeficient host mice, to examine the tumorigenic potential. Relevance: V(D)J recombination, if not properly controlled, may lead to develop of lymphoma. The study is designed to understand how genome instability occurs, and how this instability leads to tumor, and to understand how ATM functions in maintaining genome stability and suppressing tumorigenesis.

描述（由申请人提供）：项目摘要：V（d）J重组，这是一种编程的DNA重排过程，用于在淋巴细胞开发过程中组装抗原受体，对基因组稳定性构成潜在威胁。长期目标是了解V（d）J重组的细胞周期控制的机理，并抑制发育中的淋巴细胞中肿瘤发生的机理。关键的假设是，在共济失调毛细血管扩张（ATM）中突变的基因在V（d）J重组的细胞周期控制中起关键作用，缺乏这种控制可能直接导致染色体易位和淋巴瘤。 The hypothesis is based on 1) ATM is physically located at the V(D)J recombination sites, 2) ATM-/- mice succumb to early thymic lymphomas with chromosomal translocations and 3) eliminating V(D)J recombination eradicates chromosomal translocation in ATM-/- mice and delays the onset of lymphoma.我们的具体目的是：1）在细胞周期的G07G1阶段内确定ATM在包含V（d）J重组相关的DNA断裂中的作用。我们将在不同的细胞周期状态下的细胞中使用专门的测定法对v（d）J特异性DNA断裂，从野生型和ATM - / - 小鼠以及T和B淋巴细胞发育期间纯化； 2）了解在V（d）J重组期间含有DNA断裂的功能如何，我们将比较野生型和ATM - / - 小鼠中RAG核酸酶的调节和组蛋白H2AX磷酸化，这两个因素都是生成的关键调节剂淋巴瘤，建立细胞遗传学特征，易位连接并确定受影响的潜在肿瘤；我们还将设定建立小鼠胚胎干细胞ESC）培养，以诱导分化为T和B淋巴细胞，以表征V（d）J重组，以比较野生型和ATM-ESC的结果，并确定DNA如何破坏ATM中的T和B细胞的易位转移T和B细胞，并产生T和B细胞的转移。免疫缺陷的宿主小鼠，以检查肿瘤性潜力。相关性：V（d）J重组（如果无法正确控制）可能会导致淋巴瘤的发展。该研究旨在了解基因组不稳定性的发生方式，以及这种不稳定性如何导致肿瘤，并了解ATM在维持基因组稳定性和抑制肿瘤发生方面的功能。
