项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 1 strategy for identifying novel atherosclerosis-related genes and pathways is through a combination of studies using mouse models and human populations. Using this approach, we recently identified 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), the rate-limiting enzyme in leukotriene (LT) biosynthesis, as a gene with dramatic effects on atherosclerosis susceptibility in mice and humans. The role of LT metabolism in the development of other allergic inflammatory diseases, most notably asthma, is already well known. This proposal, however, will address several fundamental questions that remain to be answered regarding the role of this pathway in coronary artery disease (CAD). The first aim will determine whether polymorphisms in the major genes of the 5-LO/LT pathway are associated with atherosclerosis using a large cohort of approximately 5,000 individuals on whom the diagnosis of CAD has been definitively assessed by angiography. This will not only confirm the initial observations with 5-LO, but will also determine whether genetic variation in other LT biosynthesis genes are also important for atherogenesis. The second aim will biochemically characterize the genes and polymorphisms that statistical associations in the first aim have been observed with. To complement these 2 approaches, the third aim focuses on creating additional knock out mouse models for other pathway genes. These mice will allow the genetic dissection of the pathway and the testing of specific hypotheses regarding the patho-physiological mechanism by which LTs increase atherosclerosis. 1 of the long term goals of this project are to develop genetic diagnostic tests that could be used to help identify persons at an increased risk for CAD, much in the same way that traditional risk factors, such as elevated LDL or blood pressure, are presently being used. If the 5-LO/LT pathway proves to be important for CAD, 1 of the most promising benefits could be the application of already existing drugs currently used for asthma to the management of CAD, which could lead to newer and more effective therapies.
描述(由申请人提供):1通过使用小鼠模型和人群的研究组合,确定新的动脉粥样硬化相关基因和途径的策略。使用这种方法,我们最近确定了5-脂氧合酶(5-LO),在白三烯(LT)的生物合成的限速酶,作为一个基因与动脉粥样硬化的易感性在小鼠和人类的显着影响。LT代谢在其他过敏性炎症性疾病(最显著的是哮喘)发展中的作用已经众所周知。然而,这项提议将解决几个关于该途径在冠状动脉疾病(CAD)中的作用仍有待回答的基本问题。第一个目标是确定5-LO/LT通路主要基因的多态性是否与动脉粥样硬化相关,使用约5,000名通过血管造影明确诊断CAD的个体的大型队列。这不仅将证实5-LO的初步观察结果,而且还将确定其他LT生物合成基因的遗传变异是否对动脉粥样硬化形成也很重要。第二个目标将对第一个目标中观察到的统计关联的基因和多态性进行生物化学表征。为了补充这两种方法,第三个目标重点是为其他途径基因创建额外的敲除小鼠模型。这些小鼠将允许对该途径进行遗传解剖,并测试关于LT增加动脉粥样硬化的病理生理机制的特定假设。该项目的长期目标之一是开发可用于帮助识别CAD风险增加的人的遗传诊断测试,与目前使用的传统风险因素(如LDL升高或血压)大致相同。如果5-LO/LT通路被证明对CAD很重要,那么最有希望的益处之一可能是将目前用于哮喘的现有药物应用于CAD的管理,这可能导致更新和更有效的治疗方法。
