项目摘要

Contact PD/PI: Brunken, William, J. The immediate goal of our project is to understand the role of the extracellular matrix in retinal development and disease. In prior funding periods, we identified unique isoforms of laminins, containing either the β2 or γ3 chains that are expressed in the eye and brain. Mutations in these two laminin genes, in humans, result in autism, ocular dysgenesis, and kidney dysfunction. Ablation of these genes, in mouse, produce cortical and ocular dysgenesis; the latter includes disruptions of: 1) retinal ganglion cell development; 2) astrocyte migration and subsequent vascular development; 3) the sub-cellular organization of the Müller cell; 4) the photoreceptor- bipolar synapse. Our fundamental hypothesis is that laminins are critical for establishing the three dimensional structure of the retina. Specifically, we hypothesize that laminins provide environmental cues that are essential for angiogenesis and neurogenesis. Our first aim explores the contributions of laminin signaling in formation of the template for angiogenic development. The working hypothesis is that RGCs drive astrocyte migration; then, interactions between astrocytes and microglia regulate endothelial development. We will use a reverse genetic approach, deleting Lamb2 or Lamc3 genes alone, or together, to disrupt the signaling among these cells. The first set of experiments will focus on the spatial patterning in Lamb2-/- and Lamc3-/- animals. Our second set of experiments will address the role of laminin-mediated recruitment and activation of microglia. The third set of experiments will examine the effectors of laminin signaling in endothelial cells during angiogenesis. Our current data suggest that β2-containing laminins are pro-angiogenic and γ3-containing laminins are anti-angiogenic. Our second aim is focused on the role of laminins in neurogenesis. We will examine the hypothesis that laminin regulates apical-basal polarity of the radially organized progenitor. Our published data demonstrate that Müller cell compartmentalization is disrupted in the Lamb2-/- retina. Moreover, our preliminary data demonstrate that the cell cycle is dysregulated in both Lamb2-/- and Lamc3-/- mice. Our first set of experiments will focus on the regulation of symmetric versus asymmetric division in the Lamb2-/- and Lamc3-/- retina. Next, we will turn to a study of the pattern of inheritance of important cell cycle regulators in these same mice. Last, we will measure directly the cell cycle regulation in Lamb2-/- and Lamc3-/- retina. Our preliminary data suggest that β2- and γ3-containing laminins are necessary to preserve the proliferative state. Our work is relevant to an understanding of the pathobiology of retinal neovascular disease, gliosis and proliferative vitreoretinopathy because astrocytes and microglia play critical roles in retinal vascularization and remodeling. Our work on retinal progenitor cells will improve our fundamental understanding of retinal development and our understanding of the regulation of the cell cycle in CNS progenitors and will influence the development of 3D culture systems designed to grow retina ex vivo.

联系PD/PI：Brunken，William，J。我们项目的直接目标是了解细胞外基质在永久发展中的作用和疾病。在以前的资金期间，我们确定了层粘连蛋白的独特同工型，其中含有β2或γ3 在眼睛和大脑中表达的链。在人类中，这两个层粘连蛋白基因的突变导致自闭症，眼部发病障碍和肾功能障碍。这些基因在小鼠中的消融产生皮质和眼部发病障碍；后者包括：1）视网膜神经节细胞发育； 2）星形胶质细胞迁移和随后的血管发育； 3）Müller细胞的亚细胞组织； 4）光感受器 - 双极突触。我们的基本假设是，粘胺对于建立三个视网膜的尺寸结构。特别是，我们假设层粘连蛋白提供环境对于血管生成和神经发生必不可少的提示。我们的第一个目的探讨了层粘连蛋白信号在形成模板的贡献发展。工作假设是RGC驱动星形胶质细胞迁移。然后，互动在星形胶质细胞和小胶质细胞之间调节内皮发育。我们将使用反向遗传单独删除，删除LAMB2或LAMC3基因，或共同删除这些细胞之间的信号传导。这第一组实验将集中在LAMB2 - / - 和LAMC3 - / - 动物中的空间图案上。我们的第二组实验将解决层粘连蛋白介导的募集和小胶质细胞激活的作用。第三组实验将在血管生成过程中检查层粘连蛋白信号传导在内皮细胞中的影响。我们的目前数据表明，含有β2的层粘连蛋白是促血管生成的，含γ3的层粘连蛋白是抗血管生成的。我们的第二个目标集中在层粘连蛋白在神经发生中的作用。我们将研究以下假设层粘连蛋白调节根源组织的祖细胞的顶端极性。我们已发布的数据证明Müller细胞隔室在LAMB2 - / - 视网膜中被破坏。而且，我们的初步数据表明，在LAMB2 - / - 和LAMC3 - / - 小鼠中，细胞周期均失调。我们的第一组实验将集中于LAMB2 - / - 和LAMC3 - / - 中对称性与不对称分裂的调节视网膜。接下来，我们将研究重要的细胞周期调节剂的遗传模式老鼠。最后，我们将直接测量LAMB2 - / - 和LAMC3 - / - 视网膜中的细胞周期调节。我们的初步数据表明，含有β2和γ3的层粘连蛋白对于保留增殖状态是必要的。我们的工作与了解残留新血管疾病，神经胶质和神经胶质的病理生物学有关增生的玻璃体蛋白质病，因为星形胶质细胞和小胶质细胞在视网膜血管中起关键作用重塑。我们在视网膜祖细胞上的工作将改善我们对视网膜的基本理解开发以及我们对中枢神经系统祖细胞中细胞周期调节的理解，将影响开发3D培养系统，旨在生长视网膜外体体。项目摘要/摘要页面6
