项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Pneumoconioses are occupational lung diseases caused by the inhalation of dust fibers/particles such as asbestos and silica. Experimental models of asbestosis recapitulate the salient features of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a debilitating disease with both high morbidity and mortality due to a lack of effective therapies. Recent epidemiological studies have suggested that diabetics are at increased risk of developing idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. This has led our lab to hypothesize that diabetics are at increased risk of developing pulmonary disease after environmental exposures. As the diabetic population increases at an alarming rate it is important to determine the mechanism by which diabetics are more susceptible to pulmonary injury so that it can be better prevented and treated. Recently our lab has implicated loss of the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) as a key pathogenic step in the development of pulmonary fibrosis. This receptor has also been implicated in numerous other diabetic pathologies including neuropathy, atherosclerosis, and nephropathy. This has led us to investigate its potential role in increasing diabetics susceptibility to pulmonary injury. Preliminary studies have shown that aged diabetic mice have a loss of RAGE in their lung tissue. This could provide a potential mechanism by which diabetics are more likely to develop pulmonary fibrosis. This project will focus on the mechanisms by which RAGE promotes wound healing and prevents de-epithelialization and subsequent disease. We will also investigate the role that increased advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) play in the disease pathogenesis. Ultimately, we hope to determine if clearing RAGE ligands by use of a non-signaling decoy receptor, sRAGE, protects against the fibrotic response after asbestos exposure. This project will investigate the possibility that diabetics are at increased risk of developing pulmonary fibrosis after being exposed to occupational dust particles. It will provide a better understanding of how the disease develops which will help us develop better ways to prevent and treat the disease and its symptoms.

描述（由申请人提供）：尘肺病是由吸入粉尘纤维/颗粒（如石棉和二氧化硅）引起的职业性肺病。石棉沉滞症的实验模型概括了特发性肺纤维化（IPF）的显著特征，这是一种由于缺乏有效治疗而具有高发病率和高死亡率的衰弱性疾病。最近的流行病学研究表明，糖尿病患者发生特发性肺纤维化的风险增加。这使得我们的实验室假设糖尿病患者在环境暴露后患肺部疾病的风险增加。随着糖尿病人群以惊人的速度增加，确定糖尿病患者更容易发生肺损伤的机制，以便更好地预防和治疗糖尿病是很重要的。最近，我们的实验室发现晚期糖基化终产物（RAGE）受体的缺失是肺纤维化发展的关键致病步骤。该受体也与许多其他糖尿病病理有关，包括神经病变、动脉粥样硬化和肾病。这促使我们研究其在增加糖尿病患者对肺损伤易感性中的潜在作用。初步研究表明，老年糖尿病小鼠的肺组织中RAGE缺失。这可能为糖尿病患者更容易发生肺纤维化提供了一种潜在的机制。本项目将重点研究RAGE促进伤口愈合、防止表皮脱落和后续疾病的机制。我们还将研究增加晚期糖基化终产物（AGEs）在疾病发病机制中的作用。最终，我们希望确定使用非信号诱饵受体sRAGE清除RAGE配体是否可以防止石棉暴露后的纤维化反应。该项目将调查糖尿病患者在暴露于职业性粉尘颗粒后患肺纤维化风险增加的可能性。它将使我们更好地了解这种疾病是如何发展的，这将有助于我们找到更好的方法来预防和治疗这种疾病及其症状。
