项目摘要

ABSTRACT Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) are key sensory cells in the intestinal epithelium that secrete diverse hormones important in many processes dysregulated in metabolic disease in humans, such as satiety signaling and glucose homeostasis. EECs are divided into subtypes based on their predominant hormone. As enteroendocrine hormones have different and sometimes antagonistic metabolic effects, this subdivision enables finely-tuned control of metabolism in response to a variety of dietary stimuli. Many reports have shown that this careful balance is disturbed in humans and mice with obesity and metabolic disease, including changes in the number of EECs, EEC subtype distribution, and circulating EEC hormone levels. Despite these advances, we still do not understand the processes that regulate EEC adaptation to diet and how these processes may differ across EEC subtypes. To address these gaps in knowledge, my mentors’ labs recently established zebrafish as a model system for studying EEC physiology. The optical transparency of larval zebrafish enables live imaging to observe EEC adaptations in vivo and in real time, a level of resolution not available in live mammals. Using the zebrafish, we discovered a novel phenomenon of acute change in EEC morphology and reduction in EEC nutrient sensitivity after high fat feeding we named “EEC silencing.” The objective of this proposal is to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying this high fat feeding-induced EEC adaptation. Specifically, I will test the contributions of lipid signaling from enterocytes and hormone signaling from an inhibitory EEC subtype in mediating high fat feeding-induced EEC silencing. This work is expected to significantly advance our understanding of the fundamental physiology of intestinal adaptation to diet with important implications for human metabolic disease.

抽象的肠内分泌细胞 (EEC) 是肠上皮中的关键感觉细胞，可分泌多种激素在人类代谢疾病的许多失调过程中很重要，例如饱腹感信号和葡萄糖体内平衡。 EEC 根据其主要激素分为亚型。作为肠内分泌激素具有不同的、有时是拮抗的代谢作用，这种细分可以进行微调控制新陈代谢以应对各种饮食刺激。许多报告表明，这种谨慎患有肥胖和代谢疾病的人类和小鼠的平衡受到干扰，包括数量的变化 EEC、EEC 亚型分布和循环 EEC 激素水平。尽管取得了这些进步，我们仍然没有了解调节 EEC 对饮食的适应过程以及这些过程在 EEC 之间有何不同亚型。为了解决这些知识差距，我导师的实验室最近建立了斑马鱼作为模型研究 EEC 生理学的系统。斑马鱼幼虫的光学透明度使实时成像能够观察 EEC 体内实时适应，其分辨率水平是活体哺乳动物所不具备的。利用斑马鱼，我们发现了 EEC 形态急剧变化和 EEC 营养物质减少的新现象高脂肪喂养后的敏感性我们称之为“EEC沉默”。该提案的目的是了解这种高脂肪喂养诱导 EEC 适应的分子和细胞机制。具体来说，我将测试来自肠上皮细胞的脂质信号传导和来自抑制性 EEC 亚型的激素信号传导的贡献介导高脂肪喂养引起的 EEC 沉默。这项工作预计将显着推进我们的了解肠道适应饮食的基本生理学对人类具有重要意义代谢性疾病。
