Although the exact causes of psoriasis remain unknown, genetic factors are believed to play a critical role in its development. Several Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified multiple susceptibility loci associated with psoriasis, indicating that multiple genes are involved in its pathogenesis.Objectives:The objective of my study is to clone the susceptibility genes of psoriasis and construct a transgenic mouse model to investigate their roles in the disease pathogenesis.Methods:1. Cloning of susceptibility genes: The candidate susceptibility genes will be identified from public databases, such as GWAS and expression profile analysis. The genes will be cloned using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and subsequently validated using DNA sequencing.2. Construction of transgenic mouse model: The cloned genes will be inserted into a plasmid vector containing a tissue-specific promoter, such as the K14 promoter, which drives gene expression specifically in the epidermis. The plasmid will then be microinjected into fertilized oocytes of mice. Founders with germline transmission of the transgene will be identified by PCR and confirmed by Southern blotting.3. Characterization of transgenic mice: The phenotype of transgenic mice will be assessed by histology, immunohistochemistry, real-time PCR, and Western blot analysis. Additionally, the mouse model will be used to 精品文档---下载后可任意编辑investigate the role of candidate susceptibility genes in the pathogenesis of psoriasis under various conditions such as changes in diet, microbiota, or exposure to physical or chemical irritants that induce psoriasis-like inflammation.Expected outcomes:1. The susceptibility genes associated with psoriasis will be cloned and characterized.2. A transgenic mouse model that recapitulates human psoriasis will be constructed.3. The functions of candidate susceptibility genes will be studied in the transgenic mouse model.4. New insights into the pathogenesis of psoriasis will be gained.Conclusion:This study will contribute to our understanding of the genetic basis of psoriasis and provide a valuable tool for studying the complex mechanisms underlying the disease. The findings of this project will have important implications for the development of new therapies for psoriasis.
