中文摘要
气管和食管(TE)在胎儿发育早期由单个前肠管产生。 TE中的缺陷
形态发生导致一系列危及生命的先天性气管食管出生缺陷(TEDs),
妨碍新生儿的正常呼吸或喂养。 这个项目的目标是确定分子
和TED的细胞基础。 在新生儿期通过手术矫正,TED
通常与长期并发症有关。 在约1:3500的分娩中,TEDs的病因学很差,
明白尽管有证据表明这是一个主要的遗传成分,但已知的14个基因突变解释了
只有12%的患者患有食管闭锁和/或气管食管瘘(EA/TEF)[1],而遗传性
更罕见和致命的气管闭锁(TA)的基础是未知的。 约25个额外基因中的零星突变
与EA/TEF患者相关,但这些仍有待验证。 老鼠已经被证明是
有效的建模TED,并指出了刺猬(HH)和BMP途径的关键作用,突变体
表现出与人类患者相似的缺陷。尽管取得了这一进展,但该领域仍存在一些限制。
小鼠是一种相对低通量的模型,只有少数来自患者的候选突变已经被发现。
至今有效。其次,虽然HH和BMP涉及TE形态发生,但它们的细胞机制
调节,以控制分离的前肠管进入食道和气管是未知的。 这部分是
因为这些事件发生在胎儿发育的早期,当内部发育的小鼠胚胎被
难以操作和可视化。 在初步的数据中,我们已经建立了非洲爪蟾胚胎作为一个
创新高通量模型,以补充小鼠遗传学,并已开始确定新的,
控制TE形态发生的保守细胞机制。这些研究使我们假设HH
和BMP相互作用以调节TE形态发生的细胞过程,
途径导致了一系列模拟人类TED的表型。 该项目将定义
TE发展的分子和细胞机制,定义TEDs的结构基础,并测试推定的
TED-从患者中引起突变的病毒(项目-TED 1)。最终,这将改善诊断,加强病人护理,
并为从人类多能干细胞(hPSC)产生TE组织的策略提供信息(项目-BP 3)。
目的1研究动物TE形态发生的细胞学机制。
目的2确定HH-β Gli和BMP-β Sox 2通路的缺陷如何破坏TE形态发生。
目的在非洲爪蟾和小鼠中寻找导致TED-A突变的候选基因.
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.
