项目摘要

Abstract Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disorder defined by the accumulation of alpha- synuclein (Asyn) fibrils in glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs). The accumulation of Asyn fibrils is a feature shared with Parkinson disease, where Asyn fibrils accumulate in neuronal cytoplasmic and neuritic inclusions known as Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites. Evidence from genetic, autopsy and disease mechanism studies support Asyn fibrils as a therapeutic target. It is also a target for biomarker development. A leading priority is to develop a PET imaging agent that can quantify the deposition of Asyn in living individuals, as a biomarker for target engagement in clinical studies. An Asyn PET imaging agent would also improve the accuracy of diagnosis for MSA, and provide a biomarker for disease progression. In this application we propose to screen and identify novel leads for developing an Asyn imaging agent for MSA. We developed a new screening approach to identify novel compounds that can be pursued as leads for the development of an Asyn imaging agent. This new approach uses fluorescence measurements to screen natively fluorescent compounds for binding Asyn fibrils in vitro followed by assessment of whether compounds bind to Asyn-containing GCIs in postmortem MSA brain tissue sections. A final step is to determine whether compounds selectively bind to GCIs but do not bind to other types of pathologic fibril accumulation in postmortem brain tissue sections. Compounds found to have the desired properties will be radiolabeled with tritium in order to further characterize their binding properties using radioligand binding assays and autoradiography. The compounds identified in the project can be used as leads in further studies to develop an Asyn imaging agent. Results from the project will also enable further optimization of this new screening approach to identify compounds with the binding properties needed for an imaging agent.

抽象的多系统萎缩症（MSA）是一种神经退行性疾病，其定义是α- 神经胶质细胞质内含物 (GCI) 中的突触核蛋白 (Asyn) 原纤维。 Asyn原纤维的积累是一个特征与帕金森病相同，其中 Asyn 原纤维积聚在神经元细胞质和神经炎包涵体中称为路易体和路易神经突。来自遗传、尸检和疾病机制研究的证据支持 Asyn 原纤维作为治疗靶点。它也是生物标志物开发的目标。首要任务是开发一种 PET 显像剂，可以量化活体中 Asyn 的沉积，作为生物标志物目标参与临床研究。 Asyn PET 显像剂也将提高诊断 MSA，并提供疾病进展的生物标志物。在此应用中，我们建议筛选并确定开发 MSA 的 Asyn 显像剂的新线索。我们开发了一种新的筛选方法识别可作为开发 Asyn 成像先导化合物的新化合物的方法代理人。这种新方法使用荧光测量来筛选天然荧光化合物体外结合 Asyn 原纤维，然后评估化合物是否与含有 Asyn 的 GCI 结合死后 MSA 脑组织切片。最后一步是确定化合物是否选择性结合 GCI 但不与死后脑组织切片中其他类型的病理原纤维积累结合。发现具有所需特性的化合物将用氚进行放射性标记，以便进一步使用放射性配体结合测定和放射自显影来表征它们的结合特性。化合物该项目中确定的可用作进一步研究开发 Asyn 显像剂的先导物。结果来自该项目还将进一步优化这种新的筛选方法，以识别具有显像剂所需的结合特性。
