项目摘要

Vitamin B1 (thiamin) is indispensable for normal function/health of pancreatic cells due its critical roles in oxidative energy metabolism, ATP production, and in maintaining normal cellular redox state. Low intracellular level of thiamin leads to acute energy failure, oxidative stress, and impairment in mitochondrial function. At the organ level, the metabolically active pancreas maintains high levels of thiamin, and deficiency of the vitamin impairs its functions. The pancreas cannot synthesis thiamin endogenously; rather it obtains it from circulation. The overall goal of this research program since its inception has been focused on developing a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in thiamin uptake by pancreatic acinar cells (PACs) and the subsequent transport (compartmentalization) of its major intracellular form, i. e., thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP), into mitochondria, how these processes are regulated, and how they are affected by exposure to external/internal factors that are known to adversely affect the normal physiology/health of the pancreas. We have addressed many of these issues, and in the current proposal aim at determining: i) the role of microRNAs in post-transcriptional regulation of THTR-1, THTR-2, and the mitochondrial TPP transporter (MTPPT) expression in PACS, and the uptake processes that they mediate; ii) whether THTR- 1 and THTR-2 of PACs have interacting partners that affect/regulate their physiology/cell biology; and iii) the effect of specific factors that PACs are exposed to under certain pathophysiological conditions [pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and flagellin] on thiamin uptake and on transport of TPP into their mitochondria. Thus, in new preliminary studies evidence were obtained to suggest that microRNAs regulate THTR-1 expression and thiamin uptake by PACs, that THTR-1 has interacting partner(s), and that exposure of PACs to pro-inflammatory cytokines (especially those implicated in pancreatic disorders like IL- 6, TNF-α and IL-1β), as well as to LPS and flagellin, inhibit cellular thiamin uptake and transport of TPP into mitochondria. Based on these new findings, our working hypotheses are: i) microRNAs play an important role in post-transcriptional regulation of THTR-1, THTR-2, and MTPPT expression in PACs and the uptake events they mediate; ii) PACs THTR-1 and THTR-2 have interacting partners that affect/regulate their physiology/cell biology; and iii) pro- inflammatory cytokines, LPS and flagellin negatively impact PACs thiamin transport physiology. We plan to test these hypotheses by accomplishing two specific aims and will utilize state-of the art cellular/molecular approaches, human and mouse PACs, and appropriate transgenic mouse models. Results of these investigations should provide novel information regarding vitamin B1 cellular/molecular transport physiology in PACs and how internal/external factors affect the involved transport events. Such knowledge may ultimately assist in the designing of effective strategies to optimize pancreatic thiamin homeostasis, and thus, improve the health of the pancreas.

维生素B1（硫胺素）对于胰腺细胞的正常功能/健康是不可或缺的，因为它在以下方面的关键作用：氧化能量代谢、ATP产生和维持正常细胞氧化还原状态。低细胞内硫胺素水平导致急性能量衰竭、氧化应激和线粒体损伤。功能在器官水平上，代谢活跃的胰腺维持高水平的硫胺素，会损害它的功能。胰腺不能内源性合成硫胺素，而是通过获取维生素B1，从流通。该研究项目自成立以来的总体目标一直集中在开发对胰腺腺泡摄取硫胺素的分子机制有了全面的了解，细胞（PAC）及其主要细胞内形式的后续运输（区室化），即。例如，硫胺素焦磷酸盐（TPP），进入线粒体，这些过程是如何调节的，以及它们是如何受到暴露于已知会对正常生理/健康产生不利影响的外部/内部因素胰腺我们已经处理了其中的许多问题，在目前的建议中，旨在确定：微RNA在THTR-1、THTR-2和线粒体TPP转运蛋白转录后调节中的作用（ii）THTR- 1和THTR-2是否在PACS中表达，以及它们介导的摄取过程; 的PAC具有影响/调节其生理学/细胞生物学的相互作用伴侣;和iii） PAC在某些病理生理条件下暴露的特定因素[促炎性细胞因子、细菌脂多糖（LPS）和鞭毛蛋白]对硫胺素摄取和TPP转运的影响进入线粒体。因此，在新的初步研究中获得的证据表明，microRNA 调节THTR-1表达和PAC对硫胺素的摄取，THTR-1具有相互作用的配偶体， PAC暴露于促炎性细胞因子（特别是与胰腺疾病有关的那些，如IL-1）， 6、TNF-α和IL-1β）以及LPS和鞭毛蛋白，抑制细胞硫胺素摄取和TPP转运到线粒体基于这些新的发现，我们的工作假设是：i）microRNA发挥重要作用， THTR-1、THTR-2和MTPPT在PAC中表达的转录后调节以及它们介导; ii）PAC THTR-1和THTR-2具有影响/调节其生理/细胞的相互作用伴侣促炎细胞因子、LPS和鞭毛蛋白对PAC硫胺素转运产生负面影响 physiology.我们计划通过实现两个具体目标来测试这些假设，并将利用细胞/分子方法、人和小鼠PAC以及适当的转基因小鼠模型。结果这些研究将提供有关维生素B1细胞/分子转运的新信息 PAC的生理学以及内部/外部因素如何影响所涉及的运输事件。这种知识可能最终有助于设计有效的策略来优化胰腺硫胺素稳态，从而改善胰腺的健康。
