项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Glia, which constitutes astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, are the most proliferative and abundant cell types in the central nervous system. Abnormal development of astrocytes and oligodendrocytes is associated with a number of neurological diseases and disorders such as amyolateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS), autism, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and glioblastoma, the deadliest of brain cancers. The basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors Ascl1 and Olig2 are crucial for the specification and development of both astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, and are highly expressed in glioblastoma. The proposed project aims to: 1) determine the role and function of Ascl1 and Olig2 in regulating the generation of astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in the gray matter and white matter in the spinal cord; 2) determine the in vivo requirement of Ascl1 and Olig2 in brain tumors of a mouse model of glioblastoma; and 3) utilize Next-Generation sequencing techniques to identify on a genome-wide scale the DNA-binding profiles and direct transcriptional target genes of Ascl1 and Olig2 in glial progenitors in comparison to tumor cells of the glioblastoma mouse model. The culmination of this study will lead to new insights on the genetic regulatory networks of glial heterogeneity and glioblastoma development in the central nervous system.

描述（由申请人提供）：胶质细胞（由星形胶质细胞和少突胶质细胞组成）是中枢神经系统中增殖性最强、数量最多的细胞类型。星形胶质细胞和少突胶质细胞的异常发育与许多神经系统疾病和病症相关，例如肌萎缩侧索硬化症（ALS）、多发性硬化症（MS）、自闭症、癫痫、精神分裂症和胶质母细胞瘤（最致命的脑癌）。碱性螺旋环螺旋（bHLH）转录因子Ascl 1和Olig 2对星形胶质细胞和少突胶质细胞的特化和发育至关重要，并且在胶质母细胞瘤中高度表达。拟议项目旨在：1）确定Ascl 1和Olig 2在调节脊髓中灰质和白色物质中星形胶质细胞和少突胶质细胞的产生中的作用和功能; 2）确定胶质母细胞瘤小鼠模型的脑肿瘤中Ascl 1和Olig 2的体内需求;和3）利用下一代测序技术在全基因组范围内鉴定DNA-与胶质母细胞瘤小鼠模型的肿瘤细胞相比，Ascl 1和Olig 2在胶质祖细胞中的结合谱和直接转录靶基因。这项研究的结果将导致对中枢神经系统胶质异质性和胶质母细胞瘤发展的遗传调控网络的新见解。
