项目摘要

This project will examine biological rules that govern how different species respond, at the cellular level, to changes in their environment, and why some species are more robust than others. All species encounter environmental variation, but some tolerate extremes that would be dangerous to most other species. Fruit bats withstand dramatic changes in blood glucose between feeding and flying, camels tolerate high body temperatures in hot desert environments, and deep-diving mammals survive with little oxygen during long dives. The goal of this project is to understand how diverse species cope with extremes by measuring how their cells respond in the lab to changing culture conditions that mimic real-world variation. This will provide a foundation for developing mathematical models to understand the genetic components of this tolerance, and why the response differs between species. This project will provide active learning and research opportunities for middle school, undergraduate and graduate students, including many from historically underserved populations. It will develop sixth grade curricular enrichment in biology and computer coding, provide opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in laboratory research, and support graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Through cross-institutional collaborations, it will establish mentoring relationships between students at different levels. This project will also develop and disseminate outreach materials for the general public.Most mammals lie somewhere between the extremes of strict and flexible homeostasis, meaning that they tolerate fluctuations in cellular biochemical conditions to varying degrees. Some species tolerate extreme variation in cellular conditions, often for environmental factors that are specific to each organism. Conversely, variation in cellular conditions is poorly tolerated by many other species, including humans. This project will apply a common-garden framework to cultured cells from diverse mammals to uncover epigenetic responses that render cells of diverse species robust to variation in the internal milieu. RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and cellular morphology and physiology data will be used to assay the responses of cells from different species when exposed to a panel of variable oxygen, glucose, and temperature conditions. By analyzing these datasets using new comparative computational approaches and an evolutionary framework, the project will identify genes involved in strictly homeostatic versus flexible cellular phenotypes. These genes will be modeled as “agents” in an agent-based modeling approach to distinguish between a "driver" hypothesis, with robustness coordinated by a few epigenotypes of large effect, or an alternate "small-impact" hypothesis, with robustness arising from many epigenotypes of individually small effect, and between the possibility of few versus many evolutionary paths to a given robustness phenotype. This cross-disciplinary collaboration will pioneer a new strategy to discover the nature — and limits — of cellular buffering abilities that underlie extreme phenotypes and reveal the "rules" whereby mammalian cells cope with environmental variation.This project is funded by the Understanding the Rules of Life: Epigenetics Program, administered as part of NSF's Ten Big Ideas through the Division of Emerging Frontiers in the Directorate for Biological Sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
这个项目将研究控制不同物种如何在细胞水平上对其环境变化做出反应的生物学规则,以及为什么某些物种比其他物种更健壮。所有物种都会遇到环境变化,但有些物种会容忍对大多数其他物种都有危险的极端情况。果蝠在进食和飞行之间承受血糖的戏剧性变化,骆驼在炎热的沙漠环境中耐受高温,深潜哺乳动物在长时间潜水时几乎没有氧气就能生存。这个项目的目标是通过测量它们的细胞在实验室中对模仿真实世界变异的不断变化的培养条件的反应,来了解不同物种如何应对极端情况。这将为开发数学模型提供基础,以了解这种耐受性的遗传成分,以及为什么不同物种的反应不同。该项目将为中学生、本科生和研究生提供积极的学习和研究机会,包括许多来自历史上服务不足的人群。它将发展六年级课程,丰富生物和计算机编码,为本科生提供参与实验室研究的机会,并支持研究生和博士后研究人员。通过跨机构合作,它将在不同级别的学生之间建立指导关系。该项目还将为公众开发和传播宣传材料。大多数哺乳动物处于严格和灵活的动态平衡的极端之间,这意味着它们在不同程度上容忍细胞生化条件的波动。一些物种容忍细胞条件的极端变化,通常是由于每个生物体特有的环境因素。相反,细胞条件的变化很难被包括人类在内的许多其他物种所容忍。该项目将对来自不同哺乳动物的培养细胞应用共同花园框架,以揭示表观遗传反应,使不同物种的细胞对内部环境的变化具有强大的抵抗力。RNA-seq、atac-seq以及细胞形态和生理数据将被用来分析不同物种的细胞在暴露于一组可变的氧气、葡萄糖和温度条件下的反应。通过使用新的比较计算方法和进化框架分析这些数据集,该项目将识别与严格的动态平衡和灵活的细胞表型相关的基因。在基于代理的建模方法中,这些基因将被建模为“代理人”,以区分由几种大效应表观类型协调的稳健性的“驱动因素”假说,或由许多单独小影响的表观类型产生的稳健性的替代“小影响”假说,以及到给定稳健性表型的少数与许多进化路径的可能性之间的区别。这种跨学科的合作将开创一种新的策略,发现极端表型背后的细胞缓冲能力的本质和限度,并揭示哺乳动物细胞应对环境变化的“规则”。该项目由理解生命规则:表观遗传学计划资助,作为NSF十大想法的一部分,通过生物科学局新兴前沿分部进行管理。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
