项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of this five-year proposal is development of the candidate into an independent investigator leading a robust translational research program in the field of primary immune deficiencies. The candidate is optimally positioned, through his background of structured training in clinical immunology and extensive research experience in human immunobiology, to fully realize the benefits of a NIH mentored career development award. The proposal promotes a line of investigation leading directly to the introduction of new therapies specifically tailored for common variable immune deficient patients with autoantibody-mediated autoimmune diseases. The candidate has assembled an outstanding team of mentors uniquely qualified to assist in accomplishing his long-term research goals. The team includes Eric Meffre, PhD, a pioneer in the field of B cell tolerance, Charlotte Cunningham-Rundles, MD PhD, an international expert in common variable immune deficiency and Richard Lifton, MD PhD, a leader in human genetics with specific strength in high-throughput approaches. A less formal advisory committee of highly-regarded medical scientists, Drs. Pober, Hafler and Craft have each advised the candidate on aspects of his proposal and will provide additional ongoing scientific/career advice. The candidate has also proposed a program of didactic coursework and hands-on experiences designed to promote investigator independence at the conclusion of the award period. Research will focus on regulatory T cell (Treg) suppression of autoantibody secretion in humans. Preliminary data suggests that Tregs from healthy donors do not interact with B cells directly but control them through a T effector intermediary. In CVID patients with autoimmune cytopenias there is loss of this control due to Treg dysfunction and the abundance of circulating T effector population, resembling follicular T cells (Tfh), that drives autoantibody secretion. Specific aims of the proposal include: 1) investigating the molecular mechanism employed by Tregs to influence B cells in vitro 2) determining how Tfh-like cells from CVID patients with ITP differ from phenotypicall similar populations in primary ITP patients and healthy donors at the gene expression level and also functionally in terms of how they shape the reactivities of secreted antibodies, and 3) demonstrating the effect of IL-2 restored CVID Tregs on Tfh-like-driven autoantibody secretion. Together the aims of the proposal have been designed to generate pre-clinical data to support a clinical trial of low-dose IL-2 in CVID patients with autoimmune cytopenias. In addition to their own merits, the candidate and his proposal are further enriched by the ideal academic environment and extensive resources provided by Yale University's Departments of Immunobiology, Genetics and Pediatrics. The candidate has access to rare patient samples through his own Yale CVID cohort and the nearby CVID cohort of Dr. Cunningham-Rundles, the largest in North America, if not the world. In brief, this application proposes a plan of research that is relevant, important and achievable. It is a plan designed to culminate in the candidate establishing an independent patient- oriented research program in an academic setting.
描述(由申请人提供):这个五年提案的总体目标是将候选人发展成为一名独立的研究者,在原发性免疫缺陷领域领导一个强大的转化研究计划。通过他在临床免疫学方面的结构化培训背景和在人类免疫生物学方面的丰富研究经验,候选人处于最佳位置,以充分实现NIH指导职业发展奖的好处。 该提案促进了一系列直接导致引入新疗法的研究,这些新疗法专门针对患有自身抗体介导的自身免疫性疾病的常见可变免疫缺陷患者。候选人已经组建了一个优秀的导师团队,有资格帮助实现他的长期研究目标。该团队包括Eric Meffre博士,B细胞耐受性领域的先驱,夏洛特Cunningham-Rundles,医学博士,常见可变免疫缺陷的国际专家和Richard利夫顿,医学博士,人类遗传学的领导者,在高通量方法方面具有特定的优势。一个由备受尊敬的医学科学家组成的不太正式的咨询委员会,Pober博士、Hafler博士和Craft博士分别就候选人的提案的各个方面向他提供了建议,并将提供额外的持续科学/职业建议。候选人还提出了一个教学课程和实践经验的计划,旨在促进研究者在奖励期结束时的独立性。 研究将集中在调节性T细胞(Treg)抑制人类自身抗体分泌。初步数据表明,来自健康供体的T细胞不直接与B细胞相互作用,而是通过T效应中间体控制它们。在患有自身免疫性血细胞减少症的CVID患者中,由于Treg功能障碍和循环T效应细胞群(类似于滤泡T细胞(Tfh))的丰度,导致这种控制丧失,这驱动了自身抗体分泌。该提案的具体目标包括:1)研究Tfh在体外影响B细胞的分子机制2)确定来自患有ITP的CVID患者的Tfh样细胞在基因表达水平上以及在功能上如何与原发性ITP患者和健康供体中的表型相似群体不同,和3)证明IL-2恢复的CVID Tf 3对Tfh样驱动的自身抗体分泌的作用。该提案的目的旨在生成临床前数据,以支持低剂量IL-2治疗自身免疫性血细胞减少症CVID患者的临床试验。 除了自身的优点外,耶鲁大学免疫生物学,遗传学和儿科学系提供的理想学术环境和广泛资源进一步丰富了候选人及其提案。候选人可以通过他自己的耶鲁大学CVID队列和附近的坎宁安-伦德尔博士的CVID队列获得罕见的患者样本,该队列是北美最大的,如果不是世界上最大的话。简而言之,本申请提出了一个相关的,重要的和可实现的研究计划。这是一个计划,旨在最终在候选人建立一个独立的病人为导向的研究计划,在学术环境。
