中文摘要： 在总结前人与自身工作基础上，我们假设：亚损伤浓度铁与糖生成的ROS协同抑制DDAHⅡ活性，ADMA灭活与NO生成减少，且经NOS脱偶联机制，ROS恶性生成，RIRR激活，mPTP过度开放，导致内皮细胞功能衰竭；牛磺酸等可对抗之。拟在HUVECs上确认亚损伤浓度铁与糖协同损伤，测定细胞ADMA含量及eNOS表达/活性、ROS含量、线粒体膜电位（Δψ）、mPTP开放、细胞凋亡等；构建DDAHⅡ重组腺病毒并转染HUVECs，或用牛磺酸等干预，重复上述实验；最后建立STZ亚糖尿病大鼠模型，评估亚损伤浓度铁与糖协同加重糖尿病相关状况，取模型大鼠大、小、微血管检测血管功能及内皮细胞损害情况，以及牛磺酸干预之疗效。本研究可望探讨、阐明亚损伤浓度的铁与糖协同诱发糖尿病、协同损伤血管内皮细胞之分子生物学机制，为改善人们，特别是糖尿病高危人群的膳食结构，寻找相关血管病变分子靶点，开发相关药物拓展新的思路。

英文摘要： In light of (previous work from ours and others-if you already published) previous reports and our own work, we hypothesize: ROS resulting from sub-damage dose of iron and glucose synergistically inhibit activity of DDAH， inactivate ADMA and reduce NO production. By NOS uncoupling, viscious ROS production, RIRR activation, mPTP excessive opening, all together lead to failure of endothelial cell function, which can be attenuated by Taurine and its derivatives . In this grant poposal, we aim to further assess the synergistic damaging effect of iron and glucose on endothelial function, and in parallel to analyze the abovementioned NO uncoupling parameters. Toward this purpose, we will construct adenovirus encoding recombinant DDAHⅡ, infect it into HUVECs，and examine the effect of DDAHII overexpression on the damage imposed by addition of both sub-damage dose of iron and glucose. Simultaneously, we will assess if this protective effect can be recapitulated by Taurine. Finally, we will establish diabetic animal model with STZ to test if the synergistic effect occurs and if iron at a sub-damage dose will aggavate diabetic manisfestations. In this assay, we will isolate large/small/micro vessels, and examine vascular function, endothelial cell damage, and the effect of taurine intervention. Hopefully, our study will demonstrate a synergistic effect of iron and glucose on the etiology of diabetes and damage to vascular endothelial cell as well as identify the underlying molecular mechanisms. Therefore, the proposed study will help to provide an appropriate diet recipe for diabetic patients and population with a high risk to diabetes, and to identify new molecular targets for vascular lesions, and to develop new ideas for therapeutic drugs.
