英文摘要
DESCRIPTION (Adapted from applicant's abstract): The eye develops from three
cell populations, ectoderm, neuroepithelium, and neural crest cells. A great
deal is known about the early stages of eye development, the differentiation of
the lens and the formation of the neural retina. However, the differentiation
of the anterior part of the optic cup into the ciliary body and the iris
structures remains obscure. The long-term goal of investigator is to determine
the transcription factors that control the specification of the ciliary
epithelium at the anterior of the optic cup and that regulate the development
of this structure. To achieve this goal transcriptional mechanism controlling
the long-isoform of collagen alpha1 (IX) gene expression in the ciliary
epithelium will be investigated. This gene is expressed only in the prospective
ciliary epithelium in the early stages of development. Therefore, knowing its
transcriptional regulation will provide information on the regulation of
ciliary epithelium differentiation. In preliminary studies, the proximal
promoter of the collagen alpha1 (IX) gene was analyzed. Two fragments that bind
transcription factors were identified. Two proteins, cZic2 and cDtx2 that may
bind to the proximal promoter were identified in a one-hybrid screen. To
identify additional cis-elements, this application will use a new approach,
which permits one to study the regulation of gene expression in the living
embryo. Vectors carrying different promoter fragments fused with reporter gene,
GFP, will be introduced into the developing eye by in ovo microelectroporation.
In preliminary studies, a fragment of the collagen alpha1(IX) gene was
identified using this method that is sufficient to drive the expression of a
reporter gene in the differentiating ciliary epithelium. The Specific Aims of
this application are to (1) identify the cis-elements in the collagen
alpha1(IX) promoter that are essential for transcriptional regulation in the
ciliary epithelium, (2) analyze the binding specificity of cZic2 and cDtx2
proteins to the proximal promoter of the collagen alphal(IX) gene in vitro and
in vivo, and (3) identify the transcription factors that bind to the ciliary
epithelium-specific cis-acting elements (identified in the first specific aim)
using a one-hybrid screen. Finally, mouse and human homologs of the ciliary
epithelium-specific transcription factors will be obtained by searching DNA and
protein databases and their relevance to human hereditary eye diseases will be
evaluated.
