中文摘要
项目摘要
这项提案的长期目标是了解干细胞的活性是如何被适当调节的,
维持体内平衡和组织完整性。毛囊是皮肤重要的附属器官之一,
范例来解决这个问题。毛囊经历生长(生长期)、破坏(退化期)和生长(退化期)的周期。
静止期(休止期)。毛囊干细胞(HFSC)位于毛囊的永久突起中,
一种叫做“凸起”的结构 隆突期HFSC周期不频繁。 在正常稳态期间,HFSC
仅在生长期的非常短暂的窗口中增殖,而在所有其它阶段中保持静止。
HFSC也可以在受伤时被激活。 HFSC活性的失调导致严重的
后果 例如,脱发(脱发)和伤口愈合延迟可能是由于效率低下而引起的。
激活HFSC。相反,皮肤肿瘤,如基底细胞癌和鳞状细胞癌,
可能来源于HFSC的过度增殖。 干细胞的活性受到其微环境的严重影响,
被称为niche。传统上,关于生态位的研究仅关注周围的异源细胞类型,
也就是说,细胞来自不同的谱系。最近的研究,包括我自己的研究,
细胞后代作为几种脊椎动物和无脊椎动物干细胞系统中的生态位组分,这是以前
不被承认。在毛囊中,我的初步研究已经确定了两个重要的后代群体,
HFSC增殖的关键调节因子。这个提议要检验的中心假设是,
来自HFSC子代的调节对于HFSC的适当行为和活性是至关重要的。这一假设将是
在本授权申请中通过以下实验进行测试:1)检查由后代表达的候选信号2)
确定后代在生理和病理条件下对HFSC激活的贡献
和3)鉴定由后代表达的调节HFSC的新功能因子。候选信号将是
在指导阶段进行了调查。 动态条件下子代的贡献以及
后代表达的鉴定的新因子将在独立期期间被跟踪收集。成功
完成所提出的实验将大大促进我们对细胞类型的理解,
调节HFSC增殖和静止的信号。 此外,这些拟议的研究将有可能
导致与异常干细胞活性相关的皮肤病的治疗性治疗的发展。
我的长期职业目标是领导一个成功的,独立的,资金充足的实验室,研究皮肤和

英文摘要
Project Summary
The longterm objective of this proposal is to understand how the activity of stem cells is properly regulated to
maintain homeostasis and tissue integrity. The hair follicle, one of the important skin appendages, is an ideal
paradigm to address this problem. Hair follicles undergo cycles of growth (anagen), destruction (catagen) and
rest (telogen) phases. Hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) are located in a permanent protrusion of the hair follicle,
a structure known as the bulge. HFSCs in the bulge cycle infrequently. During normal homeostasis, HFSCs
only proliferate in a very transient window of anagen, while remaining quiescent during all the other phases.
HFSCs can also become activated upon wounding. Disregulation of HFSC activity results in severe
consequences. For example, alopecia (hair loss) and delayed wound healing may arise from inefficient
activation of HFSCs. On the contrary, skin tumors, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma,
can derive from HFSC hyperproliferation. Stem cell activity is heavily influenced by their microenvironment,
known as the niche. Traditionally, studies about niche focus only on the surrounding heterologous cell types,
i.e., cells originated from a different lineage. Recent studies including my own discover the importance of stem
cell progeny as niche components in several vertebrate and invertebrate stem cell systems, which is previously
unrecognized. In the hair follicle, my preliminary studies have identified two important progeny populations as
critical regulators for HFSC proliferation. The central hypothesis to be tested by this proposal is that feedback
regulation from HFSC progeny is crucial for the proper behavior and activity of HFSCs. This hypothesis will be
tested in this grant application by experiments that: 1) examine candidate signals expressed by the progeny 2)
determine the contributions of the progeny to HFSC activation under physiological and pathological conditions
and 3) identify novel functional factors expressed by the progeny to regulate HFSCs. Candidate signals will be
investigated during the mentored phase. The contributions of progeny under dynamic conditions as well as
identified novel factors expressed by the progeny will be followup during the independent phase. Successful
completion of the proposed experiments will significantly advance our understanding of the cell types and
signals that regulate HFSC proliferation and quiescence. In addition, these proposed studies will potentially
lead to the development of therapeutic treatments for skin disorders associate with aberrant stem cell activity.
My longterm career goal is to lead a successful, independent, and wellfunded laboratory studying skin and
stem cell biology. My graduate and postdoctoral training up to date has prepared me technically and
intellectually to develop rigorous research projects. This career development award and my proposed research
plan will further provide me with opportunities to expand my knowledge in skin stem cell biology and mouse
genetics, gain new skills in bioinformatics analysis, mouse embryo manipulation, imagebased FACS analysis,
and further accumulate experience to improve mentoring, presentation, and writing skills, all of which are
critical to my future success as an independent researcher. The reagents generated during the mentored
phase will also help to build up my research program in the independent phase. The Rockefeller University
together with its two neighboring institutions, Memorial SloanKettering Cancer Center and Weill Cornell
Medical College, offer a prime research environment and many workshops and courses to support my
proposed research and my career development. I will have constant interactions with my mentor Dr. Elaine
Fuchs, my collaborator Dr. Olivier Elemento, and the skin and mouse developmental biology communities in
the New York area. Together they will assess my progress and provide critique or advice. In summary, the
proposed studies and career development plan will better prepare me for my independent scientific career,
ensure that I achieve my longterm career goals, and allow me to make continuous contributions towards our
understanding of how stem cell activity is regulated in homeostasis and disease.
