项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Glia, which constitutes astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, are the most proliferative and abundant cell types in the central nervous system. Abnormal development of astrocytes and oligodendrocytes is associated with a number of neurological diseases and disorders such as amyolateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS), autism, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and glioblastoma, the deadliest of brain cancers. The basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors Ascl1 and Olig2 are crucial for the specification and development of both astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, and are highly expressed in glioblastoma. The proposed project aims to: 1) determine the role and function of Ascl1 and Olig2 in regulating the generation of astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in the gray matter and white matter in the spinal cord; 2) determine the in vivo requirement of Ascl1 and Olig2 in brain tumors of a mouse model of glioblastoma; and 3) utilize Next-Generation sequencing techniques to identify on a genome-wide scale the DNA-binding profiles and direct transcriptional target genes of Ascl1 and Olig2 in glial progenitors in comparison to tumor cells of the glioblastoma mouse model. The culmination of this study will lead to new insights on the genetic regulatory networks of glial heterogeneity and glioblastoma development in the central nervous system.

描述（由申请人提供）：构成星形胶质细胞和少突胶质细胞的神经胶质细胞是中枢神经系统中增殖性最强、最丰富的细胞类型，星形胶质细胞和少突胶质细胞的异常发育与许多神经系统疾病和病症有关，例如肌外侧硬化症。 ALS）、多发性硬化症（MS）、自闭症、癫痫、精神分裂症和胶质母细胞瘤（最致命的脑癌）。碱性螺旋-环-螺旋 (bHLH) 转录因子 Ascl1 和 Olig2 对于星形胶质细胞和少突胶质细胞的规范和发育至关重要，并且在胶质母细胞瘤中高度表达。该项目旨在：1) 确定星形胶质细胞的作用和功能。 Ascl1和Olig2调节脊髓灰质和白质中星形胶质细胞和少突胶质细胞的生成2)确定Ascl1和Olig2的体内需求；胶质母细胞瘤小鼠模型脑肿瘤中的 Olig2；3) 利用新一代测序技术在全基因组范围内鉴定神经胶质祖细胞中与肿瘤细胞相比的 DNA 结合谱和 Ascl1 和 Olig2 的直接转录靶基因这项研究的高潮将为中枢神经系统中神经胶质异质性和胶质母细胞瘤发育的遗传调控网络带来新的见解。
