项目摘要

To date, we do not understand why there is such a high prevalence of uterine leiomyoma in premenopausal women nor do we understand the reasons for the racial disparity observed in this disease. Black women tend to groups. pertains role DNA hypothesize addition, homeostatic and analysis cells will develop tumors earlier and are more numerous, larger in size and more symptomatic than other ethnic We have studied the molecular mechanisms involved in leiomyoma tumor growth and survival as it to hormones and signaling pathways and found that reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a significant in leiomyoma pathogenesis. Moreover, for the first time, we discovered that ROS levels and effects on are increased in the myometrial and leiomyoma tissues of Black compared to White women. We that ROS promotes mutations in the MED12 gene, to promote leiomyoma tumor formation. In ROS promotes growth and survival of the leiomyoma tumors as estrogen and progesterone provide a environment to protect the tumors from the toxicity of high ROS levels. We propose mechanistic molecular analyses to test our hypothesis including mutational analysis upon chronic treatment with ROS, of ER and PR occupancy on chromatin in response to ROS, and we test the BCL2 inhibitors to target where ROS promotes senescence when estrogen and progesterone are absent. In all of our studies, we compare the tissues from Black versus white women which willgenerate valuable and novel insight into the racial disparity observed in leiomyoma. We will learn about early changes that may lead to leiomyoma development as well as provide biological rationale to treat leiomyoma tumors with the BCL2 inhibitors.

迄今为止，我们不明白为什么在绝经前的子宫平滑肌流行率如此之高妇女也不了解这种疾病中观察到的种族差异的原因。黑人妇女倾向于到组。有关角色脱氧核糖核酸假设添加，稳态和分析细胞将要比其他种族更早发展肿瘤，大小更大，症状更大，更有症状我们已经研究了肿瘤生长和生存的分子机制到激素和信号通路，发现活性氧（ROS）起着重要的作用在平滑肌瘤发病机理中。此外，我们第一次发现ROS的水平和影响与白人女性相比，黑色的肌层和平滑肌瘤组织中有所增加。我们 ROS促进Med12基因中的突变，以促进肿瘤的平滑肌瘤形成。在 ROS促进平滑肌瘤肿瘤的生长和存活，因为雌激素和孕酮提供了保护肿瘤免受高ROS水平的毒性的环境。我们提出机械分子分析以检验我们的假设，包括在用ROS慢性治疗时进行突变分析，响应ROS的染色质的ER和PR占用率当不存在雌激素和孕激素时，ROS会促进衰老。在我们的所有研究中，我们比较黑人与白人妇女的组织，这些组织将使有价值的新颖见解在平滑肌瘤中观察到的种族差异。我们将了解可能导致平滑肌瘤的早期变化发育以及提供生物学原理，以使用BCL2抑制剂治疗平滑肌瘤肿瘤。
