Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is one of the most common chronic respiratory diseases in very-low-birth-weight infants characterized with high fatality and poor prognosis, and affects the quality of infants'lives greatly. Heredity is considered as one of key factors in the development of BPD. As an indispensable component in pulmonary surfactant, surfactant protein B(SP-B) is responsible for reducing normal surface tension at the air-liquid interface and conductive to normal gas exchange for pulmonary. Some research have demonstrated that the intron 4 polymorphisms of SP-B gene are associated with several acute and chronic pulmonary diseases. TAZ plays an vital role in the progression of BPD by increasing the activity of TTF-1, but exact mechanism has not been reported yet. Based on our previous research, we will explore the importance of SP-B intron 4 polymorphisms in BPD and the molecular mechanism on how TAZ regulates the SP-B expression via TTF-1-mediated pathway in further study by plasmid transfection, immunofluorescence, Co-immunoprecipitation(Co-IP), chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), real-time PCR, western blot and flow cytometry. It will supply a new target for gene therapy of BPD.
支气管肺发育不良(BPD)是极低出生体重儿常见的慢性呼吸系统疾病,病死率和预后不容乐观,严重影响早产儿生存质量。在BPD发生中,遗传因素发挥了关键作用。肺表面活性蛋白B(SP-B)是肺表面活性物质的组成部分,在维持正常肺功能方面具有重要作用。研究表明SP-B内含子4片段长度变异(SP-BΔi4)与多种急、慢性肺部疾病易感性相关。转录共激活子TAZ通过增强甲状腺转录因子(TTF-1)的活性在肺组织发育过程中扮演重要角色,但其在BPD中的作用目前尚未见报道。本项目在前期研究的基础上拟采用质粒转染、免疫荧光、定量PCR、免疫共沉淀(Co-IP)、染色质共沉淀(ChIP)、免疫印迹(Western blot)、流式细胞学等方法进一步探讨SP-BΔi4基因多态性在调控BPD发生中的作用机制,并就TAZ通过TTF-1介导途径调控SP-B表达的分子机制进行研究,为BPD的治疗提供新靶点。
支气管肺发育不良(BPD)是极低、超低出生体重儿常见的慢性呼吸系统疾病,病死率高且预后差,严重影响早产儿的生存质量。在BPD发生中,遗传因素发挥了关键作用。肺表面活性蛋白B(SP-B)是肺表面活性物质的组成部分,在维持正常肺功能方面具有重要作用。有研究表明SP-B内含子4片段长度变异(SP-B i4)与多种急、慢性肺部疾病易感性相关。本项目在前期研究的基础上采用质粒转染、免疫荧光、定量PCR、免疫共沉淀(Co-IP)、染色质共沉淀(ChIP)、免疫印迹(Western blot)、流式细胞学等方法进一步探讨SP-BΔi4基因多态性在调控BPD发生中的作用机制,并就TAZ通过TTF-1介导途径调控SP-B表达的分子机制进行研究。阐明:①SP-B i4基因多态性与BPD密切相关,确定其为BPD遗传易感性的关键因素之一。②SP-B i4基因多态性影响SP-B mRNA的剪接是其调控SP-B基因表达的重要作用机制。③SP-B 内含子4的变异使转录因子TTF-1与DNA的结合活性降低,是影响SP-B基因表达的另一作用机制。④TAZ可通过促进转录因子TTF-1与DNA结合活性而上调SP-B基因表达,以预防BPD发生发展。综上所述,本研究从内含子的角度阐明SP-B基因多态性影响BPD发生的机制,并从RNA剪接水平及转录因子TTF-1介导的途径阐明SP-B i4基因多态性调控SP-B基因转录的机制,且最终提供了一种具有前景的治疗方法,为临床上BPD产前危险度评估、产后早期积极防治和寻求基因治疗提供理论依据。
