中文摘要
气管和食道(TE)起源于胎儿早期发育的单个前肠管。TE缺陷
英文摘要
The trachea and esophagus (TE) arise from a single foregut tube in early fetal development. Defects in TE
morphogenesis result in a spectrum of life-threatening congenital tracheo-esophageal birth defects (TEDs) that
prevent proper breathing or feeding in newborns. The goal of this project is to determine the molecular
and cellular basis of TEDs using animal models. Corrected surgically in the neonatal period, TEDs are
often associated with long-term co-morbidity. Occurring in ~1:3500 births, the etiology of TEDs is poorly
understood. Although evidence indicates a major genetic component, known mutations in 14 genes account for
only 12% of patients with esophageal atresia and/or tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) [1], while the genetic
basis of more rare and lethal tracheal atresia (TA) is unknown. Sporadic mutations in ~25 additional genes
have been associated with EA/TEF patients, but these remain to be validated. Mouse has proven to be
effective for modeling TEDs, and indicates a key role for the Hedgehog (HH) and BMP pathways, with mutants
exhibiting defects similar to human patient. Despite this progress there are a number of limitations in the field.
Mouse is a relatively low throughput model and only a few of candidate mutations from patients have been
validated to date. Second, while HH and BMP are implicated TE morphogenesis the cellular mechanisms they
regulate, to control separation of the foregut tube into esophagus and trachea are unknown. This is in part
because these events occur early in fetal development when internally developing mouse embryos are
challenging to manipulate and visualize. In preliminary data we have established Xenopus embryos as an
innovative high-throughput model to complement mouse genetics, and have begun to identify novel and
conserved cellular mechanisms controlling TE morphogenesis. These studies lead us to hypothesize that HH
and BMP interact to regulate the cellular processes of TE morphogenesis and that mutations in these
pathways result in a spectrum of phenotypes that model human TEDs. This project will define the
molecular and cellular mechanisms of TE development, define the structural basis of TEDs and test putative
TED-causing mutations from patients (project-1). Ultimately this will improve diagnosis, enhance patient care,
and inform strategies to generate TE tissue from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) (project-3).
Aim 1 Characterize the cellular mechanisms of TE morphogenesis in animals.
Aim 2 Determine how defects in HH-Gli and BMP-Sox2 pathways disrupt TE morphogenesis.
Aim 3 Validate candidate TED-causing mutations in Xenopus and mouse.
