项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The formation of a single ureteric bud (UB) at the proper location on the Wolffian duct (WD) is important to make a functional ureter, while complex patterns of UB branching morphogenesis are required for normal renal organogenesis. While many genes involved in these events have been identified, the genetic instructions must be translated into specific cellular responses (for example, mitosis, apoptosis, migration, adhesion) in order to shape and organize a complex 3-D structure like the urinary epithelium. While very little is known about the specific cellular behaviors that underlie epithelial morphogenesis in higher organisms, or how they are controlled, advances in genetic manipulation and imaging technologies now make it feasible to address such questions using mouse models. This project will focus on the cellular events that are regulated by the secreted factor GDNF, which signals through the Ret receptor tyrosine kinase. Ret signaling is needed to make a normal ureter and kidney, but how it influences the behavior of WD and UB epithelial cells in vivo remains to be defined. Ret-expressing cells at the tips of the branching UB are the main progenitors of the collecting duct system epithelium during kidney development, and they arise from a specific region of the Wolffian duct, the "primary tip domain". Recent findings reveal that the primary tip domain is itself generated via Ret-dependent cell movements within the Wolffian duct. This raises several important questions: How are these cell movements controlled, and what is the role of GDNF/Ret signaling in Wolffian duct cell motility and guidance? What other genes and signaling pathways downstream of Ret are involved? Do similar cell movements underlie the growth and branching of the ureteric bud tip epithelium during kidney development? How else may Ret signaling affect the behavior of the epithelial progenitor cells at the UB tips? To address these questions, several methods will be used to genetically modify small numbers of WD or UB cells, and then to examine the effects of these alterations on cell behaviors in organ cultures, using time-lapse imaging, or in vivo. The proposed research should advance the field not only by extending to the cellular level our understanding of the role of GDNF/Ret signaling, but also by providing a paradigm for studying how other signaling systems affect the behavior of urinary epithelial cells during organogenesis. The information gained should also advance our understanding of the etiology of congenital urological and renal malformations, and may suggest new strategies to prevent or treat them. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Understanding how the urinary system achieves its normal size and shape has important clinical implications, as defects can lead to obstruction, impaired function or even absence of the ureters and kidneys. The development of the urinary system affects the number of nephrons (blood-filtering units) that form in the kidney, which may influence the progression of renal diseases and hypertension. An understanding of the genes and cellular events that underlie ureter and kidney development may eventually permit treatments for congenital malformations, repair of damaged organs, or growth of artificial organs.
描述(由申请人提供):在沃尔夫管(WD)的适当位置形成单个输尿管芽(UB)对于形成功能输尿管很重要,而正常的肾脏器官发生需要复杂的输尿管芽分支形态发生模式。虽然已经确定了许多参与这些事件的基因,但必须将遗传指令翻译为特定的细胞反应(例如,有丝分裂,凋亡,迁移,粘附),以便形成和组织复杂的3-D结构,如尿上皮。虽然我们对高等生物中上皮形态发生背后的特定细胞行为知之甚少,也不知道它们是如何被控制的,但基因操作和成像技术的进步现在使得利用小鼠模型解决这些问题成为可能。该项目将重点关注由分泌因子GDNF调节的细胞事件,GDNF通过Ret受体酪氨酸激酶发出信号。Ret信号是形成正常输尿管和肾脏所必需的,但它如何影响体内WD和UB上皮细胞的行为仍有待确定。分支UB尖端表达ret的细胞是肾脏发育过程中收集管系统上皮的主要祖细胞,它们起源于沃尔夫管的一个特定区域,即“初级尖端结构域”。最近的研究结果表明,初级尖端结构域本身是通过依赖ret的细胞在Wolffian导管内的运动产生的。这就提出了几个重要的问题:这些细胞运动是如何被控制的,GDNF/Ret信号在沃尔夫管细胞运动和引导中的作用是什么?Ret下游还有哪些基因和信号通路参与其中?在肾脏发育过程中,输尿管芽尖上皮的生长和分支是否有类似的细胞运动?Ret信号还如何影响UB尖端上皮祖细胞的行为?为了解决这些问题,将使用几种方法对少量WD或UB细胞进行基因修饰,然后在器官培养中使用延时成像或在体内检查这些改变对细胞行为的影响。我们提出的研究不仅将我们对GDNF/Ret信号传导作用的理解扩展到细胞水平,而且还将为研究其他信号系统如何影响器官发生过程中尿上皮细胞的行为提供一个范例,从而推动该领域的发展。所获得的信息也应该促进我们对先天性泌尿和肾脏畸形病因的理解,并可能提出新的策略来预防或治疗它们。公共卫生相关性:了解泌尿系统如何达到其正常大小和形状具有重要的临床意义,因为缺陷可导致梗阻、功能受损甚至输尿管和肾脏缺失。泌尿系统的发育影响肾脏中形成的肾单位(血液过滤单位)的数量,这可能影响肾脏疾病和高血压的进展。了解输尿管和肾脏发育背后的基因和细胞事件可能最终允许治疗先天性畸形、修复受损器官或人工器官的生长。
