DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This grant renewal application focuses on understanding the role of lipid-based oxidative protein modification (oxPM) in the etiology of eye diseases. We postulate that oxPM can interfere with protein function or result in pathological receptor-mediated responses. The overarching questions are: (1) how are oxPM generated in vivo, (2) which proteins are modified, (3) what are the pathological consequences, and (4) what therapeutic interventions can prevent oxPM formation or block their receptor-mediated sequelae. Biological entities must adapt to the nonenzymatic reactions, such as free radical-induced lipid oxidation, to which biomolecules are prone. Understanding these proclivities is the cornerstone of our approach to unraveling the involvements of lipid oxidation in disease processes. Our studies have resulted in the identification of many new biologically active oxidized lipids, characterization of their reactions with proteins, and molecular level insights into the pathological consequences of this oxidative biochemistry. One approach, that has been especially productive for us, is to learn about the chemistry of lipid oxidation and the reactions of lipid oxidation products, follow by an investigation of the biological occurrence and consequences of that chemistry. Such studies led to our discoveries of levuglandins (LGs) and isolevuglandins (isoLGs), extremely reactive products of enzymatic and nonenzymatic lipid oxidation, respectively, that are generated through novel rearrangements of endoperoxide intermediates. Because they react within seconds with proteins, these stealthy toxins evaded detection in vivo. But armed with knowledge of their chemistry obtained from "model studies", we devised methods to detect their protein adducts. Their formation in vivo is now firmly established, and an understanding of their involvement in a host of disease processes is emerging. Our immediate goals for the next four years are to understand: (1) the role of LG and isoLG-based oxPM in the etiology of glaucoma and keratitis, and the utility of vitamin B6 for preventing their formation in vivo, (2) the involvements of carboxyalkyl pyrrole-modified proteins in age-related macular degeneration, choroidal and cornea! neovascularization, and (3) the utility of single-chain antibodies for blocking receptor-mediated pathological responses to oxPM. The understanding gleaned through these studies will provide new approaches to the prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of eye diseases associated with oxidative injury.

描述（由申请人提供）：该资助更新申请的重点是了解基于脂质的氧化蛋白修饰（oxPM）在眼科疾病病因学中的作用。我们推测oxPM可以干扰蛋白质功能或导致病理性受体介导的反应。首要问题是：（1）oxPM如何在体内产生，（2）哪些蛋白质被修饰，（3）病理后果是什么，以及（4）什么治疗干预可以防止oxPM形成或阻断其受体介导的后遗症。生物实体必须适应非酶反应，如自由基诱导的脂质氧化，生物分子容易发生这种反应。了解这些倾向是我们解开疾病过程中脂质氧化参与的方法的基石。我们的研究导致了许多新的生物活性氧化脂质的鉴定，其与蛋白质的反应的表征，以及对这种氧化生物化学的病理后果的分子水平的见解。一种方法，对我们来说特别有成效，是了解脂质氧化的化学和脂质氧化产物的反应，然后调查该化学的生物发生和后果。这些研究导致我们发现了左旋糖苷（LG）和异左旋糖苷（isoLG），它们分别是酶促和非酶促脂质氧化的极其反应性的产物，是通过内过氧化物中间体的新型重排产生的。因为它们在几秒钟内与蛋白质反应，这些隐形毒素在体内逃避检测。但是，凭借从“模型研究”中获得的化学知识，我们设计了检测其蛋白质加合物的方法。它们在体内的形成现在已经牢固确立，并且对它们参与许多疾病过程的理解正在出现。我们未来四年的直接目标是了解：（1）LG和基于异LG的oxPM在青光眼和角膜炎病因学中的作用，以及维生素B6在体内预防其形成的效用，（2）羧烷基吡咯修饰的蛋白质在年龄相关性黄斑变性、脉络膜和角膜中的参与!新血管形成，和（3）单链抗体用于阻断受体介导的对oxPM的病理反应的效用。通过这些研究收集的知识将为预防、早期诊断和治疗与氧化损伤相关的眼部疾病提供新的方法。
