DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Primary Hyperoxaluria (PH) is a rare, genetic disorder that is characterized by an increased urinary oxalate excretion, the formation of calcium oxalate kidney stones, and in severe cases renal failure. In the most extreme cases, some develop nephrocalcinosis and renal failure as infants with a poor survival outlook. Our research suggests that hydroxyproline metabolism makes a major contribution to the increased oxalate synthesis that occurs in PH. This metabolism occurs in the mitochondrion and is aberrant in a recently identified form of the disease, Type 3, where the activity of the enzyme, 4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate aldolase (HOGA), a component of the degradation pathway, is deficient. A deficiency in another mitochondrial enzyme, glyoxylate reductase, is associated with Type 2 disease. In Type 1 disease, glycolate-glyoxylate cycling occurs in the liver when glycolate produced in mitochondria from hydroxyproline metabolism is oxidized in peroxisomes to glyoxylate and reduced back to glycolate in the cytoplasm because of the absence of AGT. We hypothesize that the hydrogen peroxide produced with this cycling contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction due to an increased generation of reactive oxygen species. We further hypothesize that the altered metabolism in these types of PH may result in an altered concentration of oxalate, glyoxylate and glycolate in mitochondria and the cytosol. Changes in ion levels, particularly oxalate and calcium, could further modify mitochondrial properties. In this proposal, we will use genetically modified mice to determine how the changes in enzyme composition associated with PH alter mitochondrial properties in hepatocytes and renal proximal tubule cells (RPTC). The first specific aim will determine the phenotype of Hoga1 knock-out mice and examine how the substrate, HOG, is split when HOGA is absent. We hypothesize that an alternative aldolase is able to split HOG when its concentration increases sufficiently. The second specific aim will examine mitochondrial properties and metabolic changes that occur in intact hepatocytes and RTPC from normal and genetically modified mice using an XF-analyzer. Mitochondrial quality will also be assessed in liver and kidney tissue of the mouse models and in liver tissue from PH patients receiving a transplant. Whether a mitochondrial specific drug such as MitoQ can offset any adverse changes will be investigated. The third specific aim will identify changes that occur in mitochondria isolated from these mice when they metabolize hydroxyproline and glyoxylate. These experiments will illuminate the metabolism associated with the increased oxalate synthesis that occurs in PH, highlight the role played by mitochondria in the disease process, and illustrate important differences between liver and kidney mitochondria. This research should lead to novel approaches to decrease excessive oxalate synthesis and modify mitochondrial dysfunction in PH.

描述(申请人提供)：原发性高草酸尿(PH)是一种罕见的遗传性疾病，其特征是尿草酸排泄增加，形成草酸钙肾结石，在严重情况下会发生肾功能衰竭。在最极端的情况下，一些人在婴儿时期患上肾钙质沉着症和肾功能衰竭，生存前景不佳。我们的研究表明，羟脯氨酸代谢是PH时草酸合成增加的主要原因。这种代谢发生在线粒体中，在最近发现的一种疾病类型3型中是异常的，其中降解途径的组成部分4-羟基-2-氧代戊二酸醛缩酶(HOGA)的活性缺乏。另一种线粒体酶乙醛还原酶的缺失与2型疾病有关。在1型疾病中，由于AGT的缺乏，线粒体中羟脯氨酸代谢产生的乙醇酸在过氧化体中被氧化为乙醛，并在细胞质中还原为乙醇酸，从而在肝脏发生乙醇酸-乙氧基酸循环。我们假设，在这种循环中产生的过氧化氢有助于线粒体功能障碍，因为活性氧物种的生成增加。我们进一步假设，这些类型的PH中代谢的改变可能导致线粒体和细胞质中草酸、乙醛和乙醇酸浓度的改变。离子水平的变化，特别是草酸和钙，可能会进一步改变线粒体的特性。在这项提案中，我们将使用转基因小鼠来确定与PH相关的酶组成的变化如何改变肝细胞和肾脏近端小管细胞(RPTC)的线粒体特性。第一个具体目标将确定Hoga1基因敲除小鼠的表型，并检查当Hoga缺失时底物HOG是如何分裂的。我们假设，当一种替代的醛缩酶的浓度增加到足够大时，它就能够分解猪。第二个具体目标是使用XF分析仪检测正常和转基因小鼠的完整肝细胞和RTPC中发生的线粒体特性和代谢变化。还将评估小鼠模型的肝和肾组织以及接受移植的PH患者的肝组织中的线粒体质量。线粒体特异性药物，如MitoQ，是否可以抵消任何不利的变化，将被调查。第三个特定目标将确定从这些小鼠分离出来的线粒体在代谢羟脯氨酸和乙氧基酸时发生的变化。这些实验将阐明与PH中草酸合成增加相关的代谢，强调线粒体在疾病过程中所起的作用，并阐明肝和肾线粒体之间的重要差异。这项研究应该会导致新的方法来减少过度的草酸合成和改善PH患者的线粒体功能障碍。
