Project Details
Description
I will be the lead investigator on a project investigating the effect of dietary choline on fibrosis in systemic sclerosis. This project has 2 aims:
Aim 1: To test the hypothesis that a choline-rich diet, via gut microbial production of TMAO, will increase the severity of skin and lung fibrosis and inflammation in a mouse model of systemic sclerosis.
Aim 2: To test the hypothesis that endothelial-mesenchymal transition (endoMT) is a key fibrotic mechanism linking TMAO to vascular injury and fibrosis.
