项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Prenatal exposures to environmental chemicals have been shown to cause adverse later life health effects, often involving disorders of reproductive dysfunction. The overall goal of this research is to understand the mechanisms governing accumulation of environmental chemicals in the embryo, so that we can predict and mitigate the negative effects of these exposures. In this proposal, we address two key questions with regard to xenobiotic accumulation in the embryo, with a specific focus on the role of xenobiotic transporters during primordial germ cell (PGC) formation. First, we ask how the program of development leads to changes in xenobiotic transporter expression, and thus generates windows of susceptibility or resistance to xenobiotic accumulation. Second, we ask how real-world chemical mixtures, containing both substrates and inhibitors of transporters, impact the efficacy of this conserved, protective system. Aim 1 uses a powerful in vitro molecular evolution technology to rapidly evolve, validate, and use antibody-like binders called nanobodies to characterize xenobiotic transporter proteins in human PGC-like cells (PGLCs) and in model organism embryos (sea urchin and zebrafish). Aim 2 applies biochemical and cellular approaches to determine relevant environmental ligands of human and model system xenobiotic transporters, and takes advantage of a powerful molecular structure determination pipeline to dissect the molecular mechanisms of these interactions. Aim 3 uses models and molecular targets from Aims 1 and 2 to test the hypothesis that PGCs are vulnerable to the interfering effects of environmental chemicals on the transporter defense system, and that disruption of this system leads to decreased reproductive fitness after xenobiotic challenge. This results will provide new insights into how environmental and developmental factors act in combination to govern the susceptibility of the nascent embryonic germ line to teratogens.

项目摘要已经显示出对环境化学物质的产前暴露会导致不良的生活健康影响，通常涉及生殖功能障碍的疾病。这项研究的总体目标是了解控制环境化学物质在胚胎中积累的机制，以便我们可以预测和减轻这些暴露的负面影响。在此提案中，我们解决了两个关键问题异种生物在胚胎中的积累，特别关注异种生物转运蛋白在原始生殖细胞（PGC）形成。首先，我们询问开发计划如何导致变化异生物生物转运蛋白表达，因此产生了易感性或耐药性的窗户积累。其次，我们询问现实世界中的化学混合物如何包含底物和抑制剂的转运蛋白，影响这种保守的保护系统的功效。 AIM 1使用强大的体外分子进化技术，以快速进化，验证和使用称为纳米生物剂的抗体样粘合剂表征人类PGC样细胞（PGLC）和模型生物体胚胎中的异种生物转运蛋白（海胆和斑马鱼）。 AIM 2采用生化和细胞方法来确定相关人类和模型系统的环境配体异种生物转运蛋白，并利用强大的分子结构测定管道，以剖析这些相互作用的分子机制。目标3 使用AIM 1和2的模型和分子靶标测试PGC容易受到损害的假设环境化学物质对运输蛋白防御系统的干扰作用，并破坏这一点系统导致异种生物挑战后的生殖适应性降低。这个结果将提供新的了解环境和发展因素如何结合起作用以控制的易感性新生的胚胎生殖系。
