呼吸系统发育异常,导致新生儿出生缺陷。
食道闭锁/气管食道瘘(EA/TEF),影响大约1/2,500-3000名新生儿。
异常情况不能通过外科手术干预来纠正,高达72%的幸存儿童青少年和成年患者将继续死亡。
在他们的一生中都会遭受呼吸系统问题的折磨,这表明EEA/TEF与肺部之间存在明显的联系。
异常。一如既往,在动物体内,EEA/TEF总是伴随着异常的肺功能(如肺叶融合)。
尽管模型的基本机制尚不清楚,但我们最近的研究表明,一个新的上皮性马鞍形结构已经形成。
此时,肺-食道分界处向上移动,使主肺分离,气管从主食道分离。然而,
有几个重要的问题仍有待回答。肺是如何参与马鞍形变和运动的?
什么是最基本的细胞培养和分子生物学机制?我们的目标是使用器官和细胞培养的一种新的组合技术,即青蛙。
而老鼠的模型需要解决这些问题。我们的血统追踪数据显示,这些衍生品是呼吸道疾病的主要原因。
祖细胞(Nkx2.1阳性)在分离过程中会整合到新的食道中。此外,我们还提供了我们的初步数据。

食道边界在马鞍区的形成过程中起着至关重要的作用。我们进一步发现,食道边界在马鞍区的损失中起着至关重要的作用。
转录因子Sox2或Isl1在肺祖细胞,包括其他亚群中的表达,导致Ea/TEF异常和死亡。
青蛙和小白鼠的肺部都出现了异常。有趣的是,这些异常往往还会伴随着肺功能的下降。
细胞外基质调节蛋白(ECM)是一种蛋白质,包括Fras家族成员Fras1和FREM2,目前尚不清楚这两种蛋白可能存在调节作用。
肺的发育。因此,我们假设Sox2/Isl1轴调节肺组织中的ECM和蛋白质。

肺上皮祖细胞亚群的贡献主要是促进鞍状细胞的形成和呼吸道-食道的形成。

ISL1基因(和其他相关基因)还没有在所有患有Ea/TEF的患者中被发现。因此,我们的研究结果将不会提供直接的证据。

英文摘要
ABSTRACT
Abnormal separation of the respiratory system from the foregut leads to the common birth defect
esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) which affects 1/2,500-3000 newborns. Although the
anomaly can be corrected with surgical intervention, up to 72% of surviving adolescents and adults continue to
suffer from respiratory problems throughout their lifetime, suggesting a connection between EA/TEF and lung
abnormalities. Consistently, EA/TEF is always accompanied by abnormal lungs (e.g. lobe fusion) in animal
models, although the underlying mechanism is unknown. We recently showed that an epithelial saddle formed
at the lung-esophageal boundary moves upward to split the lung and trachea from the esophagus. However,
several important questions remain to be answered. How is the lung involved in saddle formation and movement?
What is the underlying cellular and molecular mechanism? We aim to use a combination of organ culture, frog,
and mouse models to address these issues. Our lineage tracing data show that derivatives of respiratory
progenitor cells (Nkx2.1 positive) integrate into the esophagus during separation. Moreover, our preliminary data
suggest that a unique lung epithelial progenitor subpopulation (Sox2;;Sox9;;Isl1 positive) located at the lung-
esophageal boundary plays critical roles in the formation of the saddle. We further found that the loss of the
transcription factor Sox2 or Isl1 in the lung progenitors, including the subpopulation, leads to EA/TEF and
abnormal lungs in both frogs and mice. Interestingly, these abnormalities are accompanied by a reduction of
extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins including Fras family members Fras1 and Frem2 which are known to regulate
lung development. We therefore hypothesize that the Sox2/Isl1 axis regulates ECM proteins in a lung
epithelial progenitor subpopulation (Sox2;;Sox9;;Isl1 positive) that is required for respiratory-esophageal
separation and lung development. We will test the hypothesis with three specific aims: Aim1 to determine the
contribution of the lung epithelial progenitor subpopulation to the saddle formation and respiratory-esophageal
separation;; Aim2 to test the hypothesis that Sox2 regulates Isl1 in the lung epithelial progenitor subpopulation
to control respiratory-esophageal separation;; Aim3 to test the hypothesis that Isl1 regulates the separation
process and lung development through ECM proteins. Notably, chromosomal deletion of the region covering
ISL1 (and other genes) has been found in patients with EA/TEF. Our findings therefore will provide direct
evidence and mechanistic insight into the role of Sox2/Isl1/ECM axis in the pathogenesis of this defect and
associated lung abnormalities.
