项目摘要

From the start, the goal of this program has been the development and application of genome-wide approaches to systematic and quantitative analysis of gene expression patterns in cancer. In the eight years since we began this project, the experimental and analytical tools for systematic studies of global gene expression patterns at the level of transcript abundance have developed dramatically and they have become widely available and widely used for the study of cancer. The resulting studies have produced a wealth of new insight into cancer and they are even beginning to influence patient care. Profiling mRNA transcript levels, however, provides only a partial picture of the global gene expression program. While there is abundant evidence that regulation of the translation, subcellular localization and decay of mRNA are critical elements of biological regulation, practical and robust genome-wide approaches to studying these levels of regulation remain to be developed. As a result, our knowledge of the systems architecture, molecular mechanisms and biological roles of these regulatory mechanisms, including the roles they play in human cancer, is barely in its infancy. We therefore propose to develop practical, robust, high-throughput methods using DNA microarraysto profile three critical aspects of global regulation at the post-transcriptional level: translational regulation, regulation of mRNA degradation, and the specific interactions of RNA binding proteins with their targets. These studies will build on preliminary studies we've already begun in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae model system, but will focus on human cells. As the essential methodologies are developed, we will apply them to developing a foundational framework of knowledge, investigating the patterns in which these regulatory mechanisms are used in basic physiological and developmental programs, how they vary from one cell type to another and between individuals, and beginning to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms. The goal is to develop both the experimental methodology and an interpretive framework to the point that these post-transcriptional levels of gene expression can be systematically profiled and studied on a genome-wide scale almost as routinely as transcript levels are today.

从一开始，该计划的目标就是全基因组的开发和应用癌症基因表达模式的系统和定量分析的方法。八年里自从我们开始这个项目以来，全球基因系统研究的实验和分析工具转录本丰度水平的表达模式已经显着发展，并且已成为广泛可用并广泛用于癌症研究。由此产生的研究产生了丰富的成果对癌症的新见解，甚至开始影响患者护理。 mRNA 转录物分析然而，水平仅提供了全球基因表达程序的部分情况。虽然有大量证据表明 mRNA 的翻译、亚细胞定位和衰变调节至关重要生物调控的要素，实用和强大的全基因组方法来研究这些水平监管仍有待制定。因此，我们对系统架构、分子这些调节机制的机制和生物学作用，包括它们在人类中发挥的作用癌症，还处于婴儿期。因此，我们建议开发实用、稳健、高通量的方法使用 DNA 微阵列来分析转录后水平全球调控的三个关键方面：翻译调节、mRNA 降解调节以及 RNA 结合的特异性相互作用蛋白质及其靶标。这些研究将建立在我们已经开始的初步研究的基础上酿酒酵母模型系统，但将重点关注人类细胞。作为基本方法论开发出来后，我们将应用它们来开发基础知识框架，研究这些调节机制用于基本生理和发育的模式程序，它们如何从一种细胞类型到另一种细胞类型以及个体之间的差异，并开始调查潜在的分子机制。目标是开发实验方法和解释框架使得这些基因表达的转录后水平可以在全基因组范围内系统地进行分析和研究，几乎与转录水平一样常规今天。
