项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): De novo gene expression induced by the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF-1a) plays a decisive role in determining whether neurons live or die after an ischemic insult. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating the balance between HIF's adaptive and pathological effects remain unsettled. We have discovered that the MAP kinase phosphatase MKP-1 stimulates HIF-1a cleavage near the amino-terminal transactivation domain and triggers both BNIP3 expression and a host of related pro-apoptotic responses. In this application we test the hypothesis that together, MKP-1 and HIF-1a function as a molecular switch during ischemia, promoting the expression of genes involved in autophagy and apoptotic signaling. We will use complimentary genetic approaches applied in culture and animal models of ischemic injury to investigate: 1) the mechanism by which MKP regulates HIF-1a post-translational modification, 2) the discrete modifications and factors required for HIF-1a cleavage, and 3) the effects these changes have on neuron survival. Together, these experiments focus on a novel, physiologically responsive signaling node that modulates HIF-1a's latent apoptotic potential. The identification of suitable targets in this network will enable the discovery of small molecules designed to either inhibit or augment transcription- dependent injury. Progress in this area will have broad implications for both ischemic and malignant brain disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）：缺氧诱导因子（HIF-1 a）诱导的从头基因表达在确定缺血损伤后神经元存活或死亡方面起决定性作用。然而，调节HIF的适应性和病理效应之间的平衡的分子机制仍然不确定。我们已经发现MAP激酶磷酸酶MKP-1刺激HIF-1 α在氨基末端反式激活结构域附近的裂解，并触发BNIP 3表达和一系列相关的促凋亡反应。在本申请中，我们测试了这样的假设，即MKP-1和HIF-1a在缺血期间共同起分子开关的作用，促进参与自噬和凋亡信号传导的基因的表达。我们将使用在缺血性损伤的培养和动物模型中应用的互补遗传方法来研究：1）MKP调节HIF-1a翻译后修饰的机制，2）HIF-1a切割所需的离散修饰和因子，以及3）这些变化对神经元存活的影响。总之，这些实验集中在一个新的，生理反应信号节点，调节HIF-1a的潜在凋亡潜力。在该网络中鉴定合适的靶标将使得能够发现设计用于抑制或增强转录依赖性损伤的小分子。这一领域的进展将对缺血性和恶性脑疾病产生广泛的影响。
