项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Recent estimates suggest that the prevalence of lymphedema in developed countries is as high as 1.44 per thousand persons. Consequences of the disease include an increase in chronic pain and fatigue, higher incidence of dermal infections, severe anxiety and depression, a 10 year decrease in life expectancy with doubled health care costs. Yet in spite of the growing burden of this disease, clinical options available fr most suffering patients are the same today as 30 years ago: namely proper skin care and various methods of tissue compression. Such approaches have the goal of reducing symptomatic severity, while failing to understand or correct the underlying dysfunction. Lymphatic function is highly sensitive to the forces imposed on the vessels, and lymphedema drastically alters the local mechanical environment of the interstitium surrounding lymphatics through substantial collagen and lipid accumulation. A comprehensive understanding of the crosstalk between this environment and lymphatic function, particularly in the context of lymphedema, would therefore have significant clinical benefits not only for patients suffering from lymphedema, but also for patients with other diseases where lymphatics have been implicated, such as impaired immune cell trafficking, severe obesity, atherosclerosis, and cancer metastasis. The objective of this project is to develop a predictive framework that quantitatively describes the interplay between mechanical loading, lymphatic growth and remodeling, and lymphatic function by using experimental approaches at the animal, tissue and cellular levels. Our central hypothesis is that sustained abnormally elevated mechanical loading on a collecting lymphatic vessel induces a remodeling response by the vessel, which promotes cell proliferation and increased matrix deposition until it reaches a threshold at which this response negatively affects lymphatic transport, altering the tissue microenvironment and further compromising fluid, protein, and lipid transport by the lymphatic system. This hypothesis will be tested through two Specific Aims: 1) Quantify the growth and remodeling response of the lymphatic microstructure to sustained mechanical loading; and 2) Quantify the effects of this growth and remodeling response on lymphatic function and vessel mechanics. The rationale for this work is that it will provide mechanistic insight into the progression of lymphedema, identifying pathways for intervention that will restore lymphatic function. We anticipate that the findings from these studies will have an impact on the treatment of lymphatic disease by paving the way for patient specific modeling and for prediction of lymphedema risk through the use of integrated lymphatic imaging and computational modeling toolsets.
描述(由申请人提供):最近的估计表明,在发达国家,淋巴水肿的患病率高达每千人1.44。这种疾病的后果包括慢性疼痛和疲劳增加,皮肤感染发生率增加,严重焦虑和抑郁,预期寿命减少10年,保健费用增加一倍。然而,尽管这种疾病的负担越来越大,但大多数患者今天的临床选择与30年前相同:即适当的皮肤护理和各种组织压迫方法。这些方法的目的是减轻症状的严重程度,而未能理解或纠正潜在的功能障碍。淋巴功能对施加在血管上的力高度敏感,淋巴水肿通过大量胶原和脂质积累,极大地改变了淋巴周围间质的局部机械环境。因此,全面了解这种环境与淋巴功能之间的相互作用,特别是在淋巴水肿的情况下,不仅对患有淋巴水肿的患者,而且对患有其他与淋巴系统有关的疾病的患者,如免疫细胞运输受损、严重肥胖、动脉粥样硬化和癌症转移的患者,都有重大的临床益处。该项目的目标是通过动物、组织和细胞水平的实验方法,开发一个预测框架,定量描述机械负荷、淋巴生长和重塑以及淋巴功能之间的相互作用。我们的中心假设是,在收集淋巴管上持续异常升高的机械负荷诱导血管的重塑反应,从而促进细胞增殖和增加基质沉积,直到达到一个阈值,该反应对淋巴运输产生负面影响,改变组织微环境,进一步损害淋巴系统的液体、蛋白质和脂质运输。这一假设将通过两个具体目标进行验证:1)量化淋巴微观结构对持续机械负荷的生长和重塑反应;2)量化这种生长和重塑反应对淋巴功能和血管力学的影响。这项工作的基本原理是,它将为淋巴水肿的进展提供机制上的洞察,确定恢复淋巴功能的干预途径。我们预计,这些研究的发现将对淋巴疾病的治疗产生影响,通过使用综合淋巴成像和计算建模工具集,为患者特异性建模和淋巴水肿风险预测铺平道路。
