PROJECT SUMMARY Aging is the most significant negative regulator of hippocampal neurogenesis, contributing to impairments in synaptic plasticity and cognitive function. The main goal of this application is to identify juvenile protective factors (JPFs) that are capable of maintaining neurogenesis and cognitive function in aged mice so that effective therapeutic strategies for age-related cognitive disorders can be realized. Towards identifying novel JPFs, we have recently provided first evidence that the mitotic checkpoint kinase BubR1 is required for maintaining proper early brain development and hippocampal function later in life. Specifically, BubR1 level is particularly high during early development and then declines to an adult level, followed by further decline during the natural aging process. Given that neurogenesis is robust in childhood, but undergoes a progressive decline with aging, such expression pattern of BubR1 correlates with age-dependent declines in neurogenesis. However, whether sustained BubR1 levels have a protective role in the aged brain, and thus suggest a novel JPF that maintains proper neurogenesis and related hippocampal function in aged mice, remains unknown. Therefore, the main objective of this application is to resolve whether sustained high level of BubR1 in aged brain prevents age-related hippocampal dysfunction. To support this idea, our preliminary data demonstrate that BubR1 insufficiency accelerates age-dependent impairments in hippocampal neurogenesis. Importantly, while a high level of BubR1 itself does not have any detrimental effects in young mice, it promotes neurogenesis in aged mice. Based on these findings, our central hypothesis is that reduced BubR1 levels with age contribute to age-dependent declines in hippocampal function, and that sustained high levels of BubR1 promote neurogenesis and improve synaptic plasticity and cognitive function in aged mice. Utilizing multiple approaches including mouse genetics, confocal imaging, electrophysiology, and behavior analysis, Aim 1 will determine a key downstream molecular pathway of BubR1 in regulating neurogenesis. Given the well- established role of Wnt signaling in neurogenesis and aging, we will explore the involvement of the Wnt signaling pathway in neurogenesis in both BubR1 insufficient and aged mice. Subsequently, Aim 2 will test whether a sustained high level of BubR1 can restore hippocampal neurogenesis in aged mice. Lastly, Aim 3 will determine if a sustained high level of BubR1 improves synaptic plasticity and cognitive function in aged mice in a neurogenesis-dependent manner. In summary, our findings will not only reveal the etiology of age- related cognitive disorders, but also provide a framework by which therapeutic interventions may target neurogenic declines during normal brain aging. Considering the prevalence of age-associated cognitive deficits, determining the mechanistic elements improving hippocampal function will hold significant implications for the fields of cognitive aging, neurogenesis, neural plasticity, regenerative medicine, and public health.

项目摘要 衰老是海马神经发生的最重要的负调节因子，导致海马神经元的损伤。 突触可塑性和认知功能。这项申请的主要目标是确定青少年保护 因子（JPF）能够维持老年小鼠的神经发生和认知功能， 可以实现与年龄相关的认知障碍的有效治疗策略。小说识别 JPFs，我们最近提供了第一个证据，证明有丝分裂检查点激酶BubR 1是 维持适当的早期大脑发育和海马功能在以后的生活。具体而言，BubR 1水平是 在早期发育期间特别高，然后下降到成年水平，随后进一步下降 在自然老化过程中。鉴于神经发生在儿童时期是强大的，但经历了一个渐进的过程， 随着年龄的增长而下降，这种BubR 1的表达模式与神经发生的年龄依赖性下降相关。 然而，持续的BubR 1水平是否在老年大脑中具有保护作用，从而提出了一种新的 JPF在老年小鼠中维持适当的神经发生和相关的海马功能仍然未知。 因此，本申请的主要目的是解决老年人中是否存在持续高水平的BubR 1， 大脑可以防止年龄相关的海马功能障碍。为了支持这一观点，我们的初步数据表明， BubR 1不足加速了海马神经发生中的年龄依赖性损伤。重要的是， 虽然高水平的BubR 1本身对年轻小鼠没有任何不利影响，但它促进了小鼠的生长。 老年小鼠的神经发生。基于这些发现，我们的中心假设是，BubR 1水平降低， 年龄导致海马功能的年龄依赖性下降， 促进老年小鼠的神经发生并改善突触可塑性和认知功能。利用多个 包括小鼠遗传学，共聚焦成像，电生理学和行为分析，目标1将 确定BubR 1在调节神经发生中的关键下游分子通路。因为井- Wnt信号在神经发生和衰老中的作用，我们将探讨Wnt信号的参与。 信号通路在BubR 1不足和老年小鼠的神经发生中的作用。随后，Aim 2将测试 持续高水平的BubR 1是否可以恢复老年小鼠海马神经发生。最后，目标3 将确定持续高水平的BubR 1是否能改善老年人的突触可塑性和认知功能。 以神经发生依赖的方式。总之，我们的研究结果不仅揭示了年龄的病因， 相关的认知障碍，但也提供了一个框架，治疗干预措施可以针对 在正常的大脑老化过程中神经原性衰退。考虑到与年龄相关的认知障碍的流行， 缺陷，确定改善海马功能的机制要素将具有重要意义 认知老化，神经发生，神经可塑性，再生医学和公共卫生领域。
