项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Tubules are characterized by a luminal space surrounded by polarized epithelial cells. Cell polarization, that is the asymmetric segregation of polarity factors along the axis perpendicular to the adhesion substrate (apicobasal polarity) or parallel to the epithelial sheet (planar cell polarity), is required for the directionality of cellular functions and responses, such as absorption and secretion, cell movement, and proliferation. The maintenance of apical-basal polarity relies on the integration of mechanobiological signals deriving from cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions. Derailment of these concerted exchanges leads to tubular malformations such as tubular dilation, or cystogenesis, and loss of tubule physiological function, which are pathognomonic of polycystic kidney disease. However, to date, there has been no experimental or computational studies that describe how biomechanical imbalance could contribute to cystogenesis. Increasing evidence suggests that mutations in the Pkd1 gene, causative of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, are associated with abnormalities in the core mechanosensitive machinery of epithelial cells. Our preliminary findings indicate that the cystogenesis caused by the deletion of Pkd1 or the ciliary Ift88 gene can be reverted to the normal phenotype by the ablation of integrin-?1, a main ECM receptor. Based on these observations, we hypothesize that the equilibrium of the biomechanical forces generated between intercellular junctions and ECM is essential to establish and maintain tubular integrity. To test this hypothesis, we will use highly integrated theoretical and experimental assays, including biophysical, cell biological, computational, and in vivo approaches. Our approach can lead to the identification of novel drug targets that could reverse this fundamentally unique biophysical disease mechanism. The proposed studies will establish a comprehensive model of the biophysical mechanisms of renal cystogenesis, and they may uncover new effector pathways that could be therapeutically targeted.

项目摘要肾小管的特征在于由极化上皮细胞包围的管腔空间。细胞极化，即极性因子沿着垂直于与粘附基质（顶基极性）或与上皮片（平面细胞）平行极性），是细胞功能和反应（如吸收）的方向性所必需的以及分泌、细胞运动和增殖。顶基极性的维持依赖于细胞-细胞和细胞-细胞外机械生物学信号的整合基质（ECM）相互作用。这些协调一致的交易所脱轨导致管状畸形，如肾小管扩张或囊肿形成，以及肾小管生理功能丧失多囊肾的病因是什么？然而，迄今为止，还没有实验或计算研究来描述生物力学的不平衡可能会导致囊肿形成越来越多的证据表明，Pkd 1基因的突变常染色体显性遗传性多囊肾病的致病基因，与上皮细胞的核心机械敏感机制的异常。我们的初步研究结果表明，Pkd 1或纤毛Ift 88基因缺失引起的囊肿形成，可以恢复到正常表型的消融整合素？1，一种主要的ECM受体。基于这些观察，我们假设生物力学力的平衡细胞间连接和ECM之间产生的是建立和维持肾小管上皮细胞的关键。完整为了验证这一假设，我们将使用高度集成的理论和实验分析，包括生物物理学、细胞生物学、计算和体内方法。我们这种方法可以导致识别新的药物靶点，可以扭转这种情况根本上独特的生物物理疾病机制。拟议的研究将建立一个肾囊肿形成的生物物理机制的综合模型，他们可能发现新的效应途径，可以治疗靶向。
