英文摘要
cA2+ influx through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels is essential for
neurotransmitter release, synaptic plasticity, electrical waveform
processing and modification of gene expression in neurons. Yet Ca2+ can
also have harmful effects in neurons; modest, sustained elevation of
cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration leads to neuronal degeneration, and
ultimately, cell death. Accumulation of such Ca2+ insults has been
hypothesized to underlie at least some aspects of brain aging and dementia.
As dominant contributors to neuronal Ca2+ signalling, Ca2+ channels
represent major potential targets in the search for sources of aging-
related neuronal malfunction. Indeed, it has been established over the
last several years that the contribution of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels to
electrical activity in neurons changes with aging. The principal goal of
Project 2 is to delineate mechanisms of aging-induced alteration in the
activity of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in brain neurons. The research
plan is directed towards three specific aims:
(1) What biophysical properties of Ca2+ channels change with aging?
(2) Does aging dependent alteration of Ca2+ channel activity arise from
changes intrinsic to the Ca2+ channel?
(3) Does aging-dependent alteration of Ca2+ channel activity result from
extrinsic influences?
The experimental approach takes of advantage of the ability of patch-clamp
electrophysiological techniques to detect critical, but potentially
subtile, changes in Ca2+ channel behavior in aging. Properties that may
change include (i) amplitude of Ca2+ current, (ii) the voltage-dependencies
of channel activation, inactivation and deactivation, (iii) efficiency of
channel opening, (iv) Ca2+ permeability through the channel or (v)
sensitivity to modulation by neurotransmitter-receptors. All of these
parameters will be measured and compared as a function of neuron age. The
biophysical and pharmacological work will be complemented by efforts to
determine whether channel subunit makeup changes with aging. Tissue and
single-cell mRNA analyses will be used as a first step towards this goal.
The combined electrophysiological and molecular biological approach will
provide a synergistic effort to track down the origins of Ca2+ channel
dysfunction related to brain aging. Understanding fundamental mechanisms
of Ca2+ channel dysfunction in aging will be vital in developing clinical
treatments for brain senescence, and perhaps for such dementias as
Alzheimer's disease.
