项目摘要

Project Summary Trauma-induced inflammation and multiple organ failure are major causes of mortality and morbidity in American soldiers and veterans. Gut barrier dysfunction plays a critical role in the development of posttraumatic complications by providing the major site for plasma leakage and bacterial translocation. Leaky gut, a consequence of gut barrier damage during trauma, has not been treated effectively. The pathology of leaky gut has not been fully characterized and its cellular and molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. The overall objective of this application is to expand my current project towards a new phase to further investigate the molecular control of cell specific mechanisms that contribute to leaky gut during trauma and subsequent acute lung injury. We hypothesize that thermal injury induced inflammation in gut tissue activates focal adhesion pathways in intestinal epithelium resulting in epithelial junction disassociation, therefore, impairing gut epithelial barrier integrity. The project will focus on 1) to analyze the molecular mechanism of FAK mediated gut epithelial barrier dysfunction; 2) to evaluate the role of FAK activation and therapeutic potential of FAK inhibition; 3) to identify and characterize leaky gut-produced circulator factors that contribute to lung injury. The study design employs complimentary in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro models that incorporate molecular and genetic approaches into physiological experiments under clinically relevant trauma conditions. The significance of the study lies in its potential not only to contribute to the advancement of gastrointestinal pathobiology, but also to have clinical implications in the development of effective therapies or surgical interventions against gut barrier injury. In addition, the funding will support PI’s effort to participate in the VA services and the collaboration with VA physicians and scientists.

项目摘要创伤引起的感染和多器官衰竭是死亡率的主要原因，美国士兵和退伍军人的发病率。肠道障碍功能障碍在通过为血浆泄漏和细菌易位。肠道漏气是创伤期间肠道屏障损伤的结果，尚未发生有效治疗。漏水的病理尚未充分表征，其细胞和分子机制仍然不完全理解。该应用程序的总体目的是将我当前的项目扩展到一个新阶段，以进一步研究细胞的分子控制在创伤期间导致肠道漏水和随后的急性肺损伤的特定机制。我们假设热损伤在肠道组织中诱导的注射会激活局灶性粘合剂因此肠上皮屏障完整性。该项目将重点介绍1）分析分子机制 FAK介导的肠上皮屏障功能障碍； 2）评估FAK激活和 FAK抑制的治疗潜力； 3）识别和表征泄漏的肠道产生的电路导致肺损伤的因素。研究设计员工在体内，Ex Vivo和体外模型将分子和遗传方法纳入物理实验在临床相关的创伤条件下。研究的意义不仅在于其潜力为胃肠道病理生物学的发展做出贡献，但也有临床在开发有效疗法或针对肠道障碍的手术干预措施中的影响此外，资金将支持PI参与VA服务和与VA医师和科学家合作。
