英文摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This year, and in every year in the
foreseeable future, 17,000 Americans will develop primary brain cancers. Of
these, the most common tumor is astrocytoma. Of the 8,000 people to be
diagnosed with astrocytoma, all will eventually die of their disease. The
vulnerability of the astrocyte to transformation lies in its ability to
re-enter the cell-cycle at any point in the life-time of an organism. In spite
of the ability to proliferate, astrocytes are kept mostly quiescent, except in
response to disease or trauma, where there is a concomitant neuronal loss. A
number of years ago, we and others demonstrated that astrocyte proliferative
control is effected by contact with neuronal membranes, although the precise
molecular mechanism by which neurons exert this control has remained elusive.
My laboratory has recently identified a receptor on the surface of the
astrocyte, CD8 1, which is absolutely required for neuron-induced astrocyte
cell-cycle arrest (see Preliminary Data, and appended manuscript for details).
In this application, we propose a series of biochemical, molecular and cell
biological experiments aimed at the identification and characterization of
neuronal CD8 1 binding proteins. In addition, we will begin to query the
astrocytic signaling mechanism following neuronal binding. Our findings for the
requirement for astrocyte expressed CD8 1 for neuron-induced growth control
takes on added significance, based on our observation that all of the
astrocytoma cell lines we have examined to date have absolutely down regulated
CD8 1 protein and message. To determine if CD8 1 expression can rescue the
ability of these cells to respond to neuron-induced by cell-cycle arrest, we
have expressed a CD8 1 -GFP fusion construct in the astrocytoma cell lines. The
transfectants will be assayed for in vitro neuronal responsiveness, and in vivo
tumor progression and metastasis in nude mice. In parallel with these
experiments, we will continue a series of affinity chromatographic purification
of neuronal membrane proteins that are active inhibitors of astrocyte
proliferation. While we hope and anticipate that our two lines of inquiry on
neuronal mediators of astrocyte growth control will converge, it is quite
possible that we will identify separate, redundant mechanisms that are involved
in maintaining CNS numerical homeostasis.
