项目摘要
Heart disease and strokes affect about one person in three and are in part caused by arteries and valves becoming stiffened with calcium deposits (1). However, how this occurs and why heart disease is more prevalent among men is not fully known. Recent studies by our research group (2,3) have shown that testosterone causes the muscle cells found normally in the walls of arteries to partially transform themselves into bone cells and lay down deposits of calcium salts similar to the substances found in the skeleton. The overall result is a thickening and stiffening of the artery wall and a higher risk for heart disease. This project will assess the influence of oestrogen and testosterone on artery and valve development and function. It will utilise in vitro culture models of vascular cells and develop new in vivo mouse models of arterial and valve calcification. Studies will involve the assessment of calcification in vitro and in vivo through the quantification of calcium and phosphate deposition using biochemical assays and fluorescent probes. This will include the development of novel in vivo imaging protocols using state-of-the-art PET/computedtomography (CT) scanning, a technique currently used to assess calcification in patients. We will also use our models of vascular calcification to investigate the role of different pathways that may be regulated by sex hormones during the calcification process; for example Wnt signalling and autophagy. In addition, RNAseq with subsequent informatics analysis will be undertaken to identify novel underpinning mechanisms. Techniques used will include histology, qPCR, western blotting, immunofluorescent staining and siRNA knockdown. Training: The supervisory team of this project merges expertise in cardiovascular biology (VEM, PH), calcification biology (VEM) and chemistry (PH) and in vivo surgery and imaging (PH). Training will be primarily through practical application of research techniques, analytical methods and study skills in the supervisors' laboratories, as well as The Centre for Cardiovascular Science's core imaging facility, which is responsible for the PET/CT scanner. Skills that will be acquired include cell and molecular biology techniques, microscopy, cell culture and in vivo techniques. Students are also encouraged to attend monthly Research Workshops dedicated to student and post-doctoral presentations. Anticipated outputs: The student will be encouraged to present their work at International and European scientific conferences and will have the opportunity to undertake a scientific exchange visit with The University of Hawaii, USA. Past students of the supervisors' have typically published at least 3 scientific papers during their studentships, and have subsequently secured high profile post-doctoral research positions in the UK, Europe and USA.

大约三分之一的人患有心脏病和中风,部分原因是动脉和瓣膜因钙沉积而硬化(1)。然而,这是如何发生的以及为什么心脏病在男性中更普遍还不完全清楚。我们研究小组最近的研究(2,3)表明,睾酮使正常情况下在动脉壁上发现的肌肉细胞部分转化为骨细胞,并沉积与骨骼中发现的物质相似的钙盐。总的结果是动脉壁增厚和硬化,患心脏病的风险更高。本项目将评估雌激素和睾酮对动脉和瓣膜发育和功能的影响。它将利用血管细胞的体外培养模型,并开发新的小鼠动脉和瓣膜钙化模型。研究将包括通过使用生化分析和荧光探针定量钙和磷酸盐沉积来评估体外和体内的钙化。这将包括使用最先进的PET/计算机断层扫描(CT)扫描开发新的体内成像方案,这是一种目前用于评估患者钙化的技术。我们还将使用我们的血管钙化模型来研究钙化过程中可能由性激素调节的不同途径的作用;例如Wnt信号和自噬。此外,RNAseq和随后的信息学分析将用于确定新的基础机制。使用的技术将包括组织学,qPCR, western blotting,免疫荧光染色和siRNA敲除。培训:该项目的管理团队融合了心血管生物学(VEM, PH),钙化生物学(VEM)和化学(PH)以及体内手术和成像(PH)方面的专业知识。培训将主要通过在主管实验室以及心血管科学中心的核心成像设备(负责PET/CT扫描仪)中实际应用研究技术、分析方法和学习技能进行。将获得的技能包括细胞和分子生物学技术,显微镜,细胞培养和体内技术。学生也被鼓励参加每月的研究研讨会,专门为学生和博士后的演讲。预期产出:学生将被鼓励在国际和欧洲科学会议上展示他们的工作,并将有机会与美国夏威夷大学进行科学交流访问。导师的学生在校期间通常发表至少3篇科学论文,并随后在英国、欧洲和美国获得备受瞩目的博士后研究职位。引用:1。朱D, Mackenzie NC, Farquharson C, MacRae VE 2012血管钙化的机制和临床后果。内分泌科,3点95分。2. 朱丹,Hadoke PW,吴军,Vesey AT, Lerman DA, Dweck MR, Newby DE, Smith LB, MacRae VE 2016血管平滑肌细胞雄激素受体消融在血管钙化中的作用。科学报告6:24 . 807。3. www.thenakedscientists.com/articles/interviews/why-do-men-have-more-heart-attacks
