Continued from page 29 and her colleague Michael Pack, MD, also a gastroenterologist at the Perelman School of Medicine, began studying biliary atresia as members of the Fred and Suzanne Biesecker Center for Pediatric Liver Disease, at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. To her surprise, Dr. Wells learned that there had been a third biliary atresia epidemic in the Australian lambs in 2007. She was able to contact the Australian veterinarian involved, Dr. Steve Whittaker, and learned that pigweed was believed to be the most likely culprit. Since it would not be feasible to grow the plant in the United States, the U.S. group collaborated with Dr. Whittaker to provide a quantity of the plant for study. Dr. Porter and Dr. Kyung A. Koo, a postdoctoral researcher on the project, fractionated the plant into multiple components, and Dr. Pack’s group identified the toxic fractions using a novel assay his lab devised to monitor bile flow and bile duct morphology in larval zebrafish. Dr. Pack’s group uses the zebrafish to study the pathogenesis of heritable bile duct disorders; thus he was uniquely prepared to collaborate on the pigweed project. Dr. Porter and his research team are now working to determine the structure of the compounds responsible for the toxicity. “Understanding the cause of the disease in humans is an ultimate goal,” said Dr. Porter. Once the structures are identified, he will be able to work with Dr. Wells and Dr. Pack to study the new zebrafish model of biliary atresia and develop other animal models of the disease. “It’s not the highest incidence disease in the world, but it is one that is pretty devastating,” said Dr. Porter. Biliary atresia is the major reason for liver transplants in the pediatric population.
