项目摘要

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 7-Dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) is an important lipid in human biology. It is the immediate biosynthetic precursor of cholesterol and it is also a precursor to vitamin D3. Very recent discoveries indicate that 7-DHC is very prone to undergo free radical chain oxidation with molecular oxygen, i.e. lipid peroxidation. Indeed, 7- DHC's reactivity makes it more susceptible to lipid peroxidation than nearly any other known compound. Lipid peroxidation is associated with many human diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's, ALS, Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases. Many of the compounds formed during lipid peroxidation have potent biological activities and neurodegeneration may be associated with these toxic peroxidation products. A human syndrome affecting 1 in 20-70,000 individuals, Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (SLOS), is caused by a defect in the enzyme (Dhcr7) that promotes the last step of cholesterol biosynthesis. This defect results in an increase by up to 10,000-fold of 7-DHC concentrations in individuals suffering from this syndrome. SLOS causes a range of brain abnormalities and these patients also exhibit mental retardation and autism-like symptoms. This proposal is focused on the consequences of the accumulation of 7-DHC in SLOS. Our guiding hypothesis is that the peroxidation of 7-DHC and the formation of 7-DHC oxysterols plays an important role in the pathophysiology associated with SLOS. The hypothesis also states that accumulation of 7-DHC, either by genetic disposition or by exposure to small molecules that disrupt cholesterol biosynthesis can have health consequences. This focuses our studies in the next grant period to assessing the distribution and metabolism of 7-DHC oxysterols in cells and tissues, defining mechanisms associated with 7-DHC oxysterol pathology, devising strategies to reduce fluid and tissue levels of 7-DHC and/or its oxysterols in vivo, and accurately measuring levels of sterols and oxysterols in SLOS affected, SLOS carrier and control human plasmas in order to enable therapeutic studies. We assert that methods to accurately measure 7-DHC and its oxysterols in cells, fluids and tissues and strategies to understand and moderate the pathophysiology associated with this sterol will have an impact on a number of health issues ranging broadly from errors in sterol biosynthesis to drug toxicity and exposures. Lipid peroxidation is frequentl linked to neurodegenerative disorders and the relevance of this research to public health is the linkage of the fundamental studies in the chemistry and biology of peroxidation and its inhibition proposed here to neurodegenerative disorders, including a devastating syndrome, SLOS.
 说明(申请人提供):7-脱氢胆固醇(7-DHC)是人体生物学中一种重要的脂类。它是胆固醇的直接生物合成前体,也是维生素D3的前体。最近的发现表明,7-DHC很容易与分子氧发生自由基链氧化,即脂质过氧化。事实上,7-DHC的反应性使其比几乎任何其他已知的化合物更容易发生脂质过氧化。脂质过氧化与许多人类疾病有关,包括帕金森氏症、肌萎缩侧索硬化症、阿尔茨海默氏症和亨廷顿病等神经退行性疾病。许多在脂质过氧化过程中形成的化合物具有很强的生物活性,神经退行性变可能与这些有毒的过氧化产物有关。一种影响每20-70,000人中就有一人的人类综合征,Smith-Lemli-Opitz综合征(SLOS),是由促进胆固醇生物合成最后一步的酶(Dhcr7)缺陷引起的。这一缺陷导致患有这种综合征的个体的7-DHC浓度增加了10,000倍。SLOS导致一系列大脑异常,这些患者还表现出智力低下和自闭症样症状。这项提案的重点是7-DHC在可持续土地利用系统中积累的后果。我们的指导假设是,7-DHC的过氧化和7-DHC氧化甾醇的形成在SLOS的病理生理学中起着重要的作用。该假说还指出,7-DHC的积累,无论是通过遗传倾向还是通过暴露于扰乱胆固醇生物合成的小分子可能会对健康产生影响。这将是我们在下一个赠款期间的重点研究,评估7-DHC氧合固醇在细胞和组织中的分布和代谢,确定与7-DHC氧合固醇病理相关的机制,设计策略来降低体内7-DHC和/或其氧合甾醇的液体和组织水平,并准确测量受SLOS影响的人血浆、SLOS携带者和对照人血浆中的甾醇和氧固醇水平,以便进行治疗研究。我们断言,准确测量细胞、液体和组织中7-DHC及其氧合甾醇的方法,以及了解和缓和与这种甾醇相关的病理生理学的策略,将对从甾醇生物合成错误到药物毒性和暴露的一系列健康问题产生影响。脂质过氧化经常与神经退行性疾病联系在一起,这项研究与公共健康的相关性是过氧化的化学和生物学基础研究及其抑制与神经退行性疾病的联系,包括一种毁灭性的综合征,SLOS。
