项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Uterine leiomyomata, or fibroids, are the most common pelvic tumors in females and occur in a minimum of 20- 25% of women of reproductive age. Although benign neoplasms, they constitute a major public health problem as 25-50% of affected women experience debilitating symptoms including excessive menstrual bleeding and pelvic discomfort as well as reproductive failure. Fibroids are the major indication for hysterectomy accounting for over 200,000 procedures annually in the United States. It is highly likely that there is a genetic liability to develop fibroids; they are at least three times more frequent in African American than Caucasian women (representing a serious health disparity) and twin-pair correlations for hysterectomy in monozygotic twins are about twice that observed in dizygous twins. Despite these findings and enhanced research in this area in recent years, much remains to be known about this racial predisposition and specific genes involved in the pathogenesis of fibroids. Also of particular interest and of unknown molecular mechanism, fibroids rarely proceed to their malignant counterpart, uterine leiomyosarcoma. Thus, it follows that uterine leiomyomata may serve as an important model system to study the genetic events that distinguish benign and malignant neoplasms. Consistent chromosome aberrations have been observed in fibroids indicating the location of genes involved in these tumors. A number of cytogenetic subgroups have been identified and we have been successful in using positional candidate gene approaches in determining that two high mobility protein genes, HMGA2 and HMGA1, located on chromosomes 12 and 6, respectively, participate in the pathobiology of uterine leiomyomata, in addition to MYST4, located on chromosome 10. The major goal of this proposed application is to further our understanding of the biology of uterine leiomyomata. Experiments are focused on continuing to develop and use a uterine leiomyomata tissue bank and database for gene discovery, gene expression studies, and genotype-phenotype correlations. A variety of molecular and cytogenetic approaches will be used in the identification, isolation and characterization of genes involved in the pathogenesis and pathobiology of uterine leiomyomata. Chromosomal rearrangements in tumor cells will provide biological landmarks for positional cloning experiments. Transcriptional profiling offers a powerful approach to discriminate genes that differentiate fibroids of different cytogenetic subgroups as well as fibroids of variant histologies from their normal smooth muscle counterpart, the myometrium, or their malignant counterpart, uterine leiomyosarcoma. Lastly, the potential role of sequence variants in HMGA2 will be explored by a variety of mechanistic experiments to assess their role in uterine leiomyomata.
PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The importance of this research is to further our understanding of the biology of uterine leiomyomata. Uterine leiomyomata, or fibroids, are the most common pelvic tumors in females and occur in a minimum of 20-25% of women of reproductive age. Uterine leiomyomata may serve as an important model system to study the genetic events that distinguish benign and malignant neoplasms. A more complete understanding of the genes involved in the pathogenesis and pathobiology of uterine leiomyomata will provide a foundation for future diagnosis, management and treatment of uterine fibroids.
描述(由申请人提供):子宫平滑肌瘤或肌瘤是女性最常见的盆腔肿瘤,发生在至少20- 25%的育龄妇女中。虽然是良性肿瘤,但它们构成了一个重大的公共卫生问题,因为25-50%的受影响妇女会出现衰弱症状,包括月经过多、盆腔不适以及生殖功能衰竭。肌瘤是子宫切除术的主要指征,在美国每年有超过20万例手术。子宫肌瘤的发生极有可能与遗传因素有关;非裔美国妇女的子宫切除术发生率至少是白人妇女的三倍(这代表了严重的健康差异),而同卵双胞胎中子宫切除术的双胞胎相关性约为异卵双胞胎的两倍。尽管这些发现和近年来该领域的研究有所加强,但关于这种种族倾向和涉及肌瘤发病机制的特定基因仍有待了解。同样令人特别感兴趣和分子机制未知的是,肌瘤很少发展为恶性的子宫平滑肌肉瘤。因此,子宫平滑肌瘤可能是研究肿瘤良恶性区分遗传事件的重要模型系统。在肌瘤中观察到一致的染色体畸变,表明与这些肿瘤有关的基因的位置。许多细胞遗传学亚群已经被确定,我们已经成功地使用定位候选基因方法确定了两个高迁移率蛋白基因HMGA2和HMGA1,分别位于12号染色体和6号染色体上,除了位于10号染色体上的MYST4,参与子宫平滑肌瘤的病理生物学。本应用程序的主要目的是进一步了解子宫平滑肌瘤的生物学。实验的重点是继续开发和使用子宫平滑肌瘤组织库和数据库,用于基因发现、基因表达研究和基因型-表型相关性。多种分子和细胞遗传学方法将用于子宫平滑肌瘤发病机制和病理生物学相关基因的鉴定、分离和表征。肿瘤细胞的染色体重排将为定位克隆实验提供生物学标志。转录谱分析提供了一种强有力的方法来区分不同细胞遗传亚群的肌瘤,以及不同组织学的肌瘤与正常平滑肌肌瘤(肌层)或恶性肌瘤(子宫平滑肌肉瘤)的区别基因。最后,我们将通过各种机制实验来探讨HMGA2序列变异在子宫平滑肌瘤中的潜在作用。
