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.
