项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract: Half of all Americans either have or are at serious risk for developing osteoporosis. Bone mineral density (BMD) can be readily measured in a clinical setting, and low BMD is associated with increased risk of osteoporotic fracture. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) a major cause of death in industrialized societies, and it is well established that raising HDL cholesterol reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Studies have shown that low BMD can be used as an independent predictor of CVD, and patients with CVD are more likely to have low BMD. Smoking, lack of exercise and eating a high fat “Western” diet increases the risk of developing both CVD and osteoporosis. Together these suggest that there may be shared causes for these two diseases. Both BMD and serum HDL levels have been shown to be genetically regulated. Preliminary studies in humans have suggested the existence of shared genetic causes for both of these phenotypes, but, as environmental and lifestyle factors influence both BMD and serum HDL levels, identifying the genetic link between CVD and osteoporosis has been difficult. The mouse is an excellent model for mapping genes that underlie complex traits, and unlike in human studies, environment can be controlled and modulated as needed in studies using the mouse. Two quantitative trait loci (QTL) for BMD have been identified on mouse Chromosome 1 and 8 that are coincident for QTL for serum HDL. Furthermore, both of these BMD QTL interact with dietary cholesterol intake. The Chr 1 QTL has been narrowed down to two genes and the Chr 8 QTL has been narrowed down to 4 candidate genes. In this application, transgenic mice for the candidate genes on Chr 1 will be used to confirm that: 1) that these genes impact BMD; 2) this QTL interacts with dietary cholesterol intake to affect BMD; and 3) this same genes do or do not regulates serum HDL levels. In the second Aim, the gene underlying the BMD QTL on Chr 8 will be identified and the hypothesis that a single gene at this locus regulates both the BMD and HDL QTL will be confirmed.

项目概要/摘要：一半的美国人患有骨质疏松症或有严重的风险。骨密度 (BMD)可以在临床环境中容易地测量，并且低BMD与以下风险增加相关：骨质疏松性骨折心血管疾病（CVD）是工业化社会的主要死亡原因，并且已经证实，高密度脂蛋白胆固醇升高可以降低心血管疾病的风险。研究研究表明，低BMD可作为CVD的独立预测因子，CVD患者更有可能是低BMD。吸烟、缺乏锻炼和吃高脂肪的“西方”饮食增加患心血管疾病和骨质疏松症的风险。这些共同表明，可能有共享这两种疾病的原因。 BMD和血清HDL水平均被证明是受遗传调节的。初步研究人类已经提出了这两种表型存在共同的遗传原因，但是，环境和生活方式因素影响BMD和血清HDL水平，确定遗传联系心血管疾病和骨质疏松症之间的联系一直很困难。老鼠是绘制基因图谱的极好模型这是复杂特征的基础，与人类研究不同，环境可以被控制和调节，在使用小鼠的研究中需要。已经在小鼠1号和8号染色体上鉴定了BMD的两个数量性状基因座（QTL），与血清HDL的QTL一致。此外，这两个BMD QTL与膳食胆固醇相互作用摄入Chr 1 QTL已缩小到两个基因，Chr 8 QTL已缩小到两个基因 4个候选基因在本申请中，将对Chr 1上的候选基因的转基因小鼠进行研究。用于证实：1）这些基因影响BMD; 2）该QTL与膳食胆固醇相互作用摄入量影响BMD;和3）相同的基因是否调节血清HDL水平。在第二目的是确定第8染色体上BMD QTL的潜在基因，并验证单基因在该基因座上调节BMD和HDL的QTL将被确认。
