英文摘要
DESCRIPTION
(Adapted from applicant?s abstract) Dr. David Morris is a pulmonary and
critical care physician with a strong commitment to an academic career as an
independent investigator in respiratory cellular and molecular biology. His
particular interest is lung remodeling. Through work in the Lung Biology
Center at UCSF/SFGH he has identified a novel animal model of bronchitis and
emphysema resulting from inactivation of an epithelial integrin (alpha2-
beta6). He is proposing a program of advanced research training consisting of
independent experimental studies mentored by an expert in integrin biology
(Dr. Dean Sheppard); a research advisory committee including experts on matrix
metalloproteinases (Dr. Zena Werb), protease biology (Dr. Caughey), and
pulmonary immunology (Dr. Erle); and a formal didactic program including
courses in biochemistry, cell biology, and immunology. His research program
will address the hypothesis that the integrin alpha2-beta6 on the surface of
respiratory epithelial cells modulates alveolar macrophage expression of
Macrophage Metalloelastase (MME, MMP-12) thereby regulating airway
inflammation, and matrix degradation. He will address this hypothesis through
three specific aims. First, he will determine which regions of the beta6
integrin subunit are critical to prevent persistent MMP-12 (MME)
overexpression by alveolar macrophages and avert the development of emphysema
in beta6 -/- mice using novel transgenic lines. Second, he will determine the
role of MMP-12 (MME) upregulation in the recruitment and activation of
macrophages and lymphocytes in beta6 -/- mice using double knockout mice.
Finally, he will determine the role of Transforming Growth Factor Beta1, and
of alpha2-beta6 mediated activation of latent TGFbeta1 in the regulation of
airway inflammation and MMP-12 (MME) expression in vivo using both adenovector
gene transfer and transgenic approaches. This work promises to yield
important insights into the fundamental biology underlying both chronic airway
inflammation and emphysema. Dr. Morris will complete this work in the Lung
Biology Center (LBC), internationally recognized research center with an
outstanding record of training independent academic pulmonary scientists. The
Department of Medicine and LBC are fully committed to Dr. Morris? career
development and to making all necessary resources available to facilitate
successful completion of this work.
