项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Specific classes of long chain fatty acids have been implicating in promoting various diseases including obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, there is a strong correlation between dietary intake of saturated and trans-unsaturated fatty acids with certain cancers including especially, colorectal and breast. The focus of the present work is to devise high throughput methods to identify compounds that selectively inhibit fatty acid uptake into cells. Fatty acid uptake is a protein-mediated event requiring a fatty acid transport protein (FATP) and an acyl-CoA synthetase (ACSL). Our laboratory has identified and extensively characterized yeast strains deficient in this uptake system. The transport defect of yeast is complemented by mammalian orthologs of the yeast genes and the mammalian transport system reconstituted in yeast is the target for the proposed automated inhibitor screening method development. The specific aims of the proposal are to: [1] demonstrate the sensitivity and specificity of the mammalian transport proteins expressed in the yeast live cell system for analysis in a 96-well high throughput format; [2] to conduct a proof or principle screen of a diversified small molecule library for compounds that inhibit fatty acid uptake; and [3] to devise secondary screens which employ human cells in culture. Our ultimate goal is to identify compounds that inhibit fatty acid uptake into cells without cytotoxic effects. Such compounds are expected to be useful to prevent intestinal absorption of dietary lipid and/or uptake into other cell types to prevent cell damage caused by excessive concentrations of fatty acids, which lead to disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：特定类别的长链脂肪酸与促进多种疾病有关，包括肥胖、代谢综合征、糖尿病和心血管疾病。此外，饱和和反式不饱和脂肪酸的膳食摄入量与某些癌症（尤其是结直肠癌和乳腺癌）之间存在很强的相关性。目前工作的重点是设计高通量方法来鉴定选择性抑制细胞摄取脂肪酸的化合物。脂肪酸摄取是蛋白质介导的事件，需要脂肪酸转运蛋白（FATP）和酰基辅酶A合成酶（ACSL）。我们的实验室已经鉴定并广泛表征了缺乏该吸收系统的酵母菌株。酵母的转运缺陷由酵母基因的哺乳动物直系同源物来补充，并且在酵母中重建的哺乳动物转运系统是所提出的自动抑制剂筛选方法开发的目标。该提案的具体目标是： [1] 证明酵母活细胞系统中表达的哺乳动物转运蛋白的敏感性和特异性，以便以 96 孔高通量格式进行分析； [2] 对抑制脂肪酸摄取的化合物的多样化小分子库进行证明或原理筛选； [3]设计使用培养中的人类细胞的二次筛选。我们的最终目标是找到能够抑制细胞摄取脂肪酸而不产生细胞毒性作用的化合物。预期此类化合物可用于防止肠道吸收膳食脂质和/或摄取到其他细胞类型中，以防止由过量脂肪酸浓度引起的细胞损伤，从而导致疾病。
