DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Inflammation and vascular hyperpermeability have been shown to play an important role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, especially atherosclerosis. We are currently exploring innovative approaches to block vascular inflammation and enhance vascular stability. In this regard, we have shown that the novel protein Slit2 inhibits CCL2-induced chemotaxis of monocytes. Furthermore, we have shown that Slit2 inhibits lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced changes in proteins that promote vascular stability in endothelial cells. Our central hypothesis is that Slit2 will have a broad-based effect in inhibiting monocyte chemotaxis/transendothelial migration, leukocyte endothelial interaction and vascular permeability. These processes are important during the development of atherosclerosis. Exploring how Slit2 affects vascular dysfunction is of fundamental importance for developing novel therapies against various inflammatory disorders, including atherosclerosis. To this end, we will use an innovative, multi-disciplinary approach to analyze the anti-inflammatory/permeability properties of Slit2. First, we will analyze the effect of Slit2 on inflammation and vascular permeability in vitro and in vivo using a transgenic mouse model system expressing yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) in response to inflammatory stimuli, especially LPS and chemokine CCL2. Furthermore, we will map the region of Slit2 that possesses the anti-chemotactic/inflammatory properties and promotes vascular stability. Additionally, we will determine the clinical utility of the Slit2 molecule to prevent LPS and diet-induced atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- mouse model systems. These studies will provide novel rationales and concepts for the development of Slit2 as a therapeutic strategy for inflammatory disorders, such as atherosclerosis. Ultimately, insight gained from our proposed studies may help us to explore new translational approaches to combat atherosclerosis.

描述（由申请人提供）：炎症和血管渗透性过高已被证明在心血管疾病，特别是动脉粥样硬化的发展中发挥重要作用。我们目前正在探索阻止血管炎症和增强血管稳定性的创新方法。在这方面，我们已经证明新型蛋白 Slit2 抑制 CCL2 诱导的单核细胞趋化性。此外，我们还发现 Slit2 可以抑制脂多糖 (LPS) 诱导的蛋白质变化，从而促进内皮细胞的血管稳定性。我们的中心假设是，Slit2 在抑制单核细胞趋化性/跨内皮迁移、白细胞内皮相互作用和血管通透性方面具有广泛的作用。这些过程在动脉粥样硬化的发展过程中很重要。探索 Slit2 如何影响血管功能障碍对于开发针对包括动脉粥样硬化在内的各种炎症性疾病的新疗法至关重要。为此，我们将采用创新的多学科方法来分析 Slit2 的抗炎/渗透特性。首先，我们将使用表达黄色荧光蛋白（YFP）响应炎症刺激，特别是LPS和趋化因子CCL2的转基因小鼠模型系统，在体外和体内分析Slit2对炎症和血管通透性的影响。此外，我们将绘制具有抗趋化/炎症特性并促进血管稳定性的 Slit2 区域。此外，我们将确定 Slit2 分子在 ApoE-/- 小鼠模型系统中预防 LPS 和饮食诱导的动脉粥样硬化的临床效用。这些研究将为 Slit2 的开发作为动脉粥样硬化等炎症性疾病的治疗策略提供新的原理和概念。最终，从我们提出的研究中获得的见解可能有助于我们探索对抗动脉粥样硬化的新转化方法。
