项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests support for a Keystone Symposia meeting entitled Environmental Epigenomics and Disease Susceptibility, organized by Randy L. Jirtle, Moshe Szyf and Frederick L. Tyson, which will be held in Asheville, North Carolina from March 27 - April 1, 2011. There are now compelling human epidemiological and animal experimental data that indicate the risk of developing adult-onset complex diseases and neurological disorders is influenced by persistent epigenetic adaptations in response to prenatal and early postnatal environmental exposures. Thus, to effectively promote public health, it is critical to determine whether environmental factors as diverse as endocrine disruptors, nutritional supplements, and nurturing behavior can alter the pathogenesis of adult diseases by modifying the epigenome rather than mutating the genome. These are the scientific topics that will be discussed in depth at the Keystone Symposia meeting on Environmental Epigenomics and Disease Susceptibility. More specifically, the objective of this meeting is to provide evidence that environmental exposures during early development, by modifying the epigenome, can alter the risk of developing medical conditions, such as asthma, autism, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and schizophrenia later in life. In particular, the importance of environmentally-induced epigenetic effects on brain development will be stressed in this meeting. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The complex biological processes underlying states of health and disease involve gene-environment interactions (or epigenetics) between many genes and external influences such as environmental chemicals, stressors, nutrition, and drugs. In fact, environmental agents have been associated with a number of diseases including autism, bipolar disorder, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and schizophrenia. The Keystone Symposia meeting on Environmental Epigenomics and Disease Susceptibility will examine the evidence that environmental exposures during early development, by modifying the epigenome, can alter the risk of developing medical conditions later in life.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案要求支持由Randy L. Jirtle， Moshe Szyf和Frederick L. Tyson组织的题为“环境表观基因组学和疾病易感性”的Keystone专题会议，该会议将于2011年3月27日至4月1日在北卡罗来纳州阿什维尔举行。现在有令人信服的人类流行病学和动物实验数据表明，发生成人发病的复杂疾病和神经障碍的风险受到产前和产后早期环境暴露的持续表观遗传适应的影响。因此，为了有效地促进公众健康，至关重要的是要确定各种环境因素，如内分泌干扰物、营养补充剂和养育行为，是否可以通过修改表观基因组而不是突变基因组来改变成人疾病的发病机制。这些都是将在Keystone环境表观基因组学和疾病易感性专题会议上深入讨论的科学主题。更具体地说，这次会议的目的是提供证据，证明早期发育期间的环境暴露，通过改变表观基因组，可以改变以后生活中发生哮喘、自闭症、癌症、心血管疾病、糖尿病、肥胖和精神分裂症等疾病的风险。这次会议将特别强调环境诱导的表观遗传效应对大脑发育的重要性。
