项目摘要

Thyroid-related eye disease (TED) is an important public health burden that causes loss of productivity and reduces quality of life. TED can lead to chronic debilitating pain and headaches, double vision, corneal exposure, dry eyes, secondary glaucoma and compressive optic neuropathy, and carries a significant risk of vision loss. The pathogenesis of TED is incompletely understood, but involves the activation of orbital fibroblasts by an unidentified thyroid-related cell signal. Activated fibroblasts in turn secrete large quantities of hyaluronan, causing significant swelling of orbital tissues and especially extraocular muscles. In addition, orbital fibroblasts mediate a severe inflammatory orbitopathy that leads to orbital fibrosis. Orbital fibroblasts can also proliferate and differentiate into adipocytes, filling the orbit with excess fat. The combination of tissue swelling, scarring and adipogenesis leads to exophthalmos and a compartment syndrome whereby normal orbital tissues are compressed by the abnormal ones, leading to compressive optic neuropathy, secondary glaucoma and chronic orbital headaches. Exophthalmos can lead to chronic dry eyes and corneal exposure. The swelling and fibrosis of muscles can lead to ocular misalignment and diplopia. Orbital fibroblasts are derivatives of the neural crest, a transient population of pluripotent cells that differentiate into a broad range of tissues during embryogenesis. The unique behavior of orbital fibroblasts in TED may be partially caused by their embryologic neural crest origins. The main hypothesis of this project is that embryologic processes that occur during the development of the orbital neural crest are important in the pathogenesis of TED. The biology of the orbital neural crest is unknown and largely unexplored. The goal of this research project is to utilize the genetic and cell biology tools available in zebrafish to shed new light on the genetics and cell biology of orbital neural crest-derived tissues, in order to lead to improved diagnostic and treatment for TED and other orbital diseases.
