项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Chronic wounds and ulcers are increasing with the growing incidence of diabetes and associated illnesses and have annual costs exceeding $20 billion. These non-healing wounds result in chronic disease, limb amputations and death and are complicated by antibiotic resistant bacteria infection. This proposal seeks to improve and develop new capabilities of a biological treatment of such wounds, maggot debridement therapy (MDT) that is effective but underutilized. Some maggot species have evolved to digest fluids, dead tissues and bacteria in wounds and have been recognized for over 200 years for this improved wound healing behavior. For approximately a century, Lucilia sericata maggots have been produced for MDT. This proposal seeks to create transgenic flies with properties that will support increased use of MDT. The goals of the proposal are 1) to produce flightless flies with limited dispersal capability, 2) to engineer fluorescent flies that are more readily observed in wounds, 3) to engineer flies that facilitate analgesic and therapeutic peptide expression to improve patient comfort and wound healing. These mutants will facilitate fly production and also impede genetically engineered insect escape. The objectives of this proposal will support greater use of MDT thereby reducing treatment costs, improving wound healing and limiting the persistent use of antibiotics for treating chronic wounds.

描述（由申请人提供）：随着糖尿病和相关疾病的发病率的增长，慢性伤口和溃疡正在增加，并且每年成本超过200亿美元。这些非愈合的伤口导致慢性疾病，肢体截肢和死亡，并因抗生素耐药性细菌感染而复杂。该提案旨在改善和发展对此类伤口，MAGGOT清创疗法（MDT）的生物学治疗的新能力，这些功能有效但未充分利用。一些MAGGOT物种已演变为在伤口中消化液体，死组织和细菌，并因这种改善的伤口愈合行为而被认可了200多年。大约一个世纪以来，MDT生产了Lucilia Sericata maggots。该提案旨在创建具有特性的转基因苍蝇，以支持增加MDT的使用。该提案的目标是1）生产具有有限分散能力的无飞蝇，2）对荧光苍蝇进行了更容易在伤口中观察到的荧光苍蝇，3）工程蝇，以促进促进止痛和治疗性肽表达的果蝇，以改善患者的舒适性和伤口愈合。这些突变体将促进苍蝇生产，并阻碍基因工程的昆虫逃生。该提案的目标将支持更多地使用MDT，从而降低治疗成本，改善伤口愈合并限制抗生素用于治疗慢性伤口的持续使用。
