DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Monocytes are major participants in inflammatory responses and are mediators of chronic inflammation. Monocyte chemotactic factor 1 (MCP-1) is a critical chemotactic factor involved in attracting monocytes from the blood into tissues. This chemotactic cytokine has been shown to be a particularly important for the extravasation of monocytes into vessel walls in atherogenesis. Atherosclerosis-prone mice, when rendered deficient in either MCP-1 or its receptor, CCR2, develop significantly less atherosclerosis than their normal counterparts. Furthermore, MCP-1 has also been associated with a series of other chronic human inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, viral meningitis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease. To date, we have a very cursory understanding of the signal transduction pathways regulating the chemotactic response of monocytes to MCP-I. In this application we propose experiments to elucidate the pathways regulating this central inflammatory process. Recent studies from our laboratory have identified a novel role for phospholipases A2 in regulating monocyte chemotaxis. When primary monocytes are rendered deficient in the expression of either cPLA2 or iPLA2 they fail to respond to the chemotactic stimulus of MCP-I. These pathways appear to operate independently in regulating the chemotactic response. It is clear that lipid signaling pathways are integral regulators of this monocyte chemotactic response. In this proposal we present a research plan to investigate how these PEA2 pathways regulate chemotaxis. In Aim 1 we will determine how these phospholipases relate to the few other pathways that have been identified in regulating MCP-l-induced monocyte chemotaxis and in the process we will explore the best approaches for selectively intervening in this process. We will examine the contributions of phospholipase D and AA metabolites in regulating chemotaxis and will explore the role of phospholipases in influencing cytoskeletal rearrangement and other cell processes involved in monocytic responses to MCP-1. These studies will significantly advance our understanding of this key inflammatory event.

描述（由申请人提供）：单核细胞是炎症反应的主要参与者，是慢性炎症的介质。单核细胞趋化因子1 （MCP-1）是一种关键的趋化因子，参与从血液中吸引单核细胞进入组织。这种趋化细胞因子已被证明是一个特别重要的单核细胞外渗到血管壁在动脉粥样硬化。易发生动脉粥样硬化的小鼠，当MCP-1或其受体CCR2缺乏时，发生动脉粥样硬化的几率明显低于正常小鼠。此外，MCP-1还与一系列其他慢性人类炎症性疾病有关，包括类风湿关节炎、病毒性脑膜炎、牛皮癣和炎症性肠病。迄今为止，我们对调节单核细胞对MCP-I趋化反应的信号转导途径的了解非常粗略。在这个应用中，我们提出了实验来阐明调节中枢炎症过程的途径。我们实验室最近的研究已经确定了磷脂酶A2在调节单核细胞趋化性中的新作用。当原代单核细胞缺乏cPLA2或iPLA2的表达时，它们不能对MCP-I的趋化刺激作出反应。这些途径似乎在调节趋化反应中独立运作。很明显，脂质信号通路是这种单核细胞趋化反应的整体调节因子。在本提案中，我们提出了一项研究计划，以调查这些PEA2途径如何调节趋化性。在Aim 1中，我们将确定这些磷脂酶如何与已确定的调节mcp -l诱导的单核细胞趋化性的少数其他途径相关，并在此过程中探索选择性干预该过程的最佳方法。我们将研究磷脂酶D和AA代谢物在调节趋化性中的作用，并探索磷脂酶在影响单核细胞对MCP-1的反应中涉及的细胞骨架重排和其他细胞过程中的作用。这些研究将显著促进我们对这一关键炎症事件的理解。
