英文摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant)
The long-term objectives of this research are to define molecular mechanisms
underlying interactions of dietary antioxidants with cellular and
environmental oxidants in vivo by the application of global gene expression
analysis. The availability of transgenic mice with selective deletion of the
gene for alpha-tocopherol (a-TC) transfer protein, and the resulting depletion
of tissue a-TC (vitamin E), offers a unique opportunity to rigorously examine
the role of a major dietary antioxidant of biological membranes and
lipoproteins in normal physiology. In addition, its potential role as a
dietary supplement to intervene in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases
triggered by oxidant pollutants in the environment can also be tested. The
specific aims of this proposal are to: (1) define and compare the mRNA
expression profiles of lungs and livers from a-tocopherol transfer protein
knockout (TTP-KO) and wild type mice; (2) assay the changes in mRNA expression
profiles of lungs and livers in response to a photochemically-generated
environmental oxidant, ozone, in TTP-KO and wild type mice; and (3) evaluate
the changes in the expression of proteins encoded by selected mRNAs,
identified through specific aims 1 and 2, by immunoblot and immuno-
histochemical analysis.
The proposed research will identify, for the first time, the genomic response
in vivo to silencing of a gene whose product plays a significant role in the
homeostasis of a primary antioxidant in membranes lipoproteins. In addition,
global gene expression analysis will also identify the molecular targets of a-
TC that may not be directly related to the scavenging of reactive oxygen
species and the molecular response to depletion of TTP not directly related to
the transfer of a-TC. Gene expression analysis following exposure to an
environmental oxidant, ozone, whose primary target is the membrane milieu,
will identify the "transcriptional" response in vivo to oxidative stress
inflicted by an environmental pollutant and the role of a dietary antioxidant,
vitamin E, on oxidant-induced changes in gene expression in the target
tissues. The analysis of proteins encoded by selected mRNAs will establish
the potential functional implications of changes in the mRNAs detected by
analysis with gene arrays. These molecular data may provide the basis for
designing more effective protocols for dietary interventions with antioxidants
that might ameliorate lung diseases induced by environmental oxidants.
