项目摘要

In cells having an important structural role of some organs, a protein participating in the regulation of calcium,**TRPV6, has been shown to be involved in the establishment of a microenvironment that favors tumour**development. However, little is known about the functional role and mechanism of this recently found protein.**This project will adress the role of this calcium-dependent channel protein, how it helps the cells to regulate**calcium concentration, and how it affects the immune system. Specifically, we will investigate the pathways**involved in the communication of TRPV6-expressing cells with immune cells. For this purpose, we will select**cells from multiple types of tissues, verify their TRPV6 expression, and the immune sytem signalling**molecules (cytokines/chemokines expression). The cells with the highest TRPV6 expression will then be**treated with inhibitors that have been designed by the participating company (Soricimed), and changes in the**immune communication between cells will be evaluated. Moreover, the physiology and metabolism of these**cells will also be determined to control for any other side effects. This initial project will allow Soricimed to**shed light on the fundamental mechanisms determining TRPV6 expression and function. Moreover, it will be a**stepping stone for the screening of therapeutic tools that will have a greater chance of success in the clinic and**to invest in performing follow-up proof of concept studies.

在一些器官具有重要结构作用的细胞中，一种参与钙调节的蛋白质**TRPV6已被证明参与了有利于肿瘤**发展的微环境的建立。然而，人们对这种新近发现的蛋白质的功能作用和机制知之甚少。**这个项目将介绍这种钙依赖通道蛋白的作用，它如何帮助细胞调节**钙浓度，以及它如何影响免疫系统。具体地说，我们将研究TRPV6表达细胞与免疫细胞交流的途径。为此，我们将从多种类型的组织中选择**细胞，验证它们的TRPV6表达，以及免疫系统信号**分子(细胞因子/趋化因子表达)。然后，TRPV6表达最高的细胞将被参与公司(Soricimed)设计的抑制剂**治疗，并将评估细胞之间免疫通讯的变化。此外，这些细胞的生理和新陈代谢也将被确定为控制任何其他副作用。这个初始项目将使Soricimed能够**阐明决定TRPV6表达和功能的基本机制。此外，它将是**筛选治疗工具的垫脚石，这些工具将在临床上有更大的成功机会，并**投资于进行后续的概念验证研究。
