项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare but potentially fatal blood disorder, resulting from autoantibodies against ADAMTS13, a plasma metalloprotease that cleaves endothelial von Willebrand factor. Despite progresses being made in past decades, major gap remains in our understanding the pathogenesis of iTTP. The proposed study will test the hypotheses that: 1) distinct molecular signatures in the complementarity determining region (CDR)-3 and the VDJ rearrangements in the variable regions of immunoglobulins (Ig) against ADAMTS13 determine their functionalities (e.g., the inhibitory vs. activating) in patients with iTTP; 2) the abnormalities in ANKRD26 and 36 gene family, initially identified to associate with hereditary thrombocytopenia, may also play a role in pathogenesis of iTTP, likely through disruption of megakaryocytopoiesis and enhanced immune inflammatory responses. The proposed study will use various cutting-edge tools and animal models to test these hypotheses. The results of the proposed study will shed new light on pathogenesis of iTTP and other immune thrombotic disorders. The findings may help develop novel strategies for therapeutic interventions for such disorders.

项目摘要免疫血栓性血小板减少性紫癜（ITTP）是一种罕见但可能致命的血液疾病，导致从针对ADAMTS13的自身抗体，这是一种裂解内皮von Willebrand的等离子金属蛋白酶因素。尽管过去几十年来取得了进展，但我们的理解仍然存在 ITTP的发病机理。拟议的研究将检验以下假设：1）互补性确定区域（CDR）-3和可变区域中的VDJ重排针对ADAMTS13的免疫球蛋白（Ig）确定其功能（例如，抑制性与激活） ITTP患者； 2）ANKRD26和36个基因家族的异常，最初被确定为与遗传性血小板减少症，也可能在ITTP的发病机理中发挥作用巨核细胞质和增强的免疫炎症反应。拟议的研究将使用各种尖端的工具和动物模型来检验这些假设。拟议的研究的结果将丢弃关于ITTP和其他免疫血栓性疾病的发病机理的新灯。这些发现可能有助于发展针对此类疾病的治疗干预措施的新型策略。
