项目摘要
Project Summary/Abstract:
We will investigate the cell and chemical biology of microtubules in order to answer fundamental
questions of cell organization and improve treatment of human diseases. Microtubules are
dynamic, linear polymers of the protein tubulin. They physically organize the cytoplasm of most
human cells, and serve as transport tracks for moving cellular components. They are particularly
important during cell division, when they build mitotic spindles which separate chromosomes, and
in neurons, where they provide transport tracks for supplying distant synapses with new building
blocks. We will probe cell division mechanism using frog eggs as a model system. Our work may
help treat infertility and understand mistakes in cell division that give rise to birth defects. We k now
most of the proteins required for cell division, but we do not know how they work together to build
spindles or position cleavage furrows. We will use a new tool, quantitative mass spectrometry, to
simultaneously measure hundreds of proteins in mitotic spindles in frog egg extracts, and how they
compete for binding sites on microtubules. We will also combine microscopy, biochemistry and
mathematical modeling to learn how the spindle communicates with the cell surface to position
cleavage furrows. In neurons, we will investigate how tubulin is transported down axons, and test a
new hypothesis in which stathmin proteins serve as transport adapters. This work will address a
fundamental question in neuronal cell biology, and may help treat motor neuron disease (ALS).
Drugs that target microtubules and are used as medicines can provide important insights into
microtubule biology in adult human tissues. These include paclitaxel, which is used to treat breast
and lung cancer, and colchicine, which is used to treat gout and other inflammatory diseases. We
understand the molecular actions of these drugs on microtubules in detail, but not how they act in
the human body to treat disease. We have developed new hypothesis for the therapeutic action of
both drug classes, and will test these in cell culture and rodent models. This work could lead to
new uses of old drugs, for example we suspect low doses of colchicine might be useful to prevent
heart attacks and slow the progression of lung cancer. It could also lead to replacement drugs that
are more active and less toxic.

项目摘要/摘要:
我们将研究微管的细胞和化学生物学,以回答基本问题
细胞组织的问题和改善人类疾病的治疗。微管是
蛋白质微管蛋白的动态线性聚合物。它们在物理上组织了大多数
人体细胞,并充当移动细胞组件的运输轨道。他们特别是
在细胞分裂期间很重要,当它们建立分裂纺锤体来分隔染色体时,以及
在神经元中,它们提供运输轨道,为遥远的突触提供新的建筑
街区。我们将以蛙卵为模型系统,探索细胞分裂机制。我们的工作可能
帮助治疗不孕症,并了解导致出生缺陷的细胞分裂错误。我们现在知道了
细胞分裂所需的大部分蛋白质,但我们不知道它们是如何共同构建的
纺锤或位置劈裂犁沟。我们将使用一种新的工具,定量质谱学,来
同时测量青蛙卵提取物中有丝分裂纺锤体中的数百种蛋白质,以及它们是如何
竞争微管上的结合位点。我们还将结合显微镜、生物化学和
数学建模,以了解纺锤体如何与细胞表面通信以定位
乳沟。在神经元中,我们将研究微管蛋白是如何沿着轴突向下运输的,并测试
Stathmin蛋白作为运输适配器的新假说。这项工作将解决一个
神经细胞生物学中的基本问题,可能有助于治疗运动神经元病(ALS)。
以微管为靶点并用作药物的药物可以为
成人组织中的微管生物学。其中包括用于治疗乳房的紫杉醇。
和肺癌,以及秋水仙碱,用于治疗痛风和其他炎症性疾病。我们
详细了解这些药物对微管的分子作用,但不了解它们如何作用于
治疗疾病的人体。我们提出了治疗作用的新假说。
这两类药物,并将在细胞培养和啮齿动物模型中进行测试。这项工作可能会导致
旧药的新用途,例如,我们怀疑低剂量的秋水仙碱可能有助于预防
心脏病发作和延缓肺癌的进展。它还可能导致替代药物的出现
更活跃,毒性更低。
