University biologist seeks health insight with fruit-fly study V By Nick Beres Of the Emerald A University biologist says his research with fruit flies may lead to more effective prevention and treat ment of heart disease. John Postlethwait, a biology pro fessor who heads University research funded by the American Heart Associa tion, says people with high levels of cholesterol in their blood stand a much greater chance of suffering from heart disease. “A major risk factor in the develop ment of arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) is the accumulation of cholesterol in the blood stream,” he says. ‘‘Our work involves genetic studies that are not morally possible to do with humans,” Postlethwait says. "We work with the flies because the genetic process is basically the same. Modified lipoprotein (LDL) genes are sliced into the egg of a fly. I he genes are then incorporated into the fly s chromosomes. When the egg develops into an adult fly, it will have altered genes and then biologists can study the protein's ac tion, Postlethwait says.'‘The goal of our research is to modify the lipopro tein then study how it affects the removal of cholesterol from the blood, he says. Postlethwait says he hopes the research will reveal a genetic change that improves the removal of cholesterol from the blood. It would then be possible to make an analogous change in the human LDL for the same results. Postlethwait admits his research will not immediately cure heart disease. However, he does envision a develop ment of a gene that can be injected into human bone marrow and result in more efficient cholesterol removal. When this procedure is perfected, he says, it may prevent a large number of heart attacks and strokes.
