项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):
Receptor-mediated gene expression in matured CNS neurons remains a hot topic in elucidating molecular mechanisms for the development of neuroplasticity. As a key structure of the basal ganglia, the striatum is among the major central sites for investigating such gene expression aimed to unravel striatal mechanisms underlying a variety of mental illnesses (psychiatric and cognitive disorders). Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are densely expressed in the striatal projection neurons. From studies conducted in the last period, we have established that Ca2+ -Iinked group I mGluRs play a profound role in regulating opioid peptide gene expression (prodynorphin and proenkephalin) in the rat striatum. In the effort of identifying intracellular signaling pathways transducing group I mGluR signals to the gene expression, we recently found that activation of group I receptors activates mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). As an information superhighway between the surface membrane and the nucleus, the MAPK pathway therefore likely couples group I mGluRs to gene expression. In this continuation proposal, a series of experiments was proposed to evaluate an overarching hypothesis that group I mGluRs activate MAPK cascades to facilitate opioid gene expression in striatal neurons. Using multidisciplinary approaches, this hypothesis will be tested both in vivo and in vitro n striata neurons in four general experiments: (1) define the role of group I receptors in the regulation of MAPKs by characterizing group I I mGluR-regulated phosphorylation of a major MAPK subclass, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERKI/2), in a I well-characterized in vivo rat model, (2) differentiate the relative importance of the two group I subtypes, mGluR1 and I mGluR5, in this event using the subtype-selective agonists/antagonists, antisense oligos and mutant mice (mGluR1 or 5l knockouts) in vivo, (3) identify signaling pathways transducing group I mGluR signals to MAPK/ERK by evaluating roles of Ca 2+ signals and protein kinases (CaMKII, PI3-kinase, PKC, and tyrosine kinases) in our primary striatal neuronal culture model with selective inhibitors, antisense oligos and silencer siRNAs, and (4) define physiological roles of group I mGluRactivated MAPK/ERK cascades in the regulation of striatal gene expression via evaluating the importance of the two transcription factor targets of MAPK/ERK, Elk-1 and CREB, for group I/ERK-sensitive prodynorphin and proenkephalin gene expression in vivo and in vitro. Accomplishment of this project will provide a new interpretation of receptor and signal transduction mechanisms underlying inducible gene expression in matured CNS neurons. Since inducible gene expression is conceived to be an important component of the development of neuroplasticity, data from this project can ultimately contribute to the development of novel pharmacotherapies, by targeting group ImGluRs and MAPK cascades, for the treatment of various mental illnesses resulted from striatal dysfunctions.
描述(由申请人提供):
在成熟的中枢神经系统神经元中受体介导的基因表达仍然是阐明神经可塑性发展的分子机制的热门话题。作为基底神经节的关键结构,纹状体是研究这种基因表达的主要中心部位之一,旨在揭示各种精神疾病(精神病和认知障碍)的纹状体机制。代谢型谷氨酸受体(mGluRs)在纹状体投射神经元中密集表达。从过去的研究中,我们已经确定,钙离子连接的第一组mGluRs在调节大鼠纹状体阿片肽基因(强啡肽原和脑啡肽原)的表达中发挥了深远的作用。在鉴定将I组mGluR信号转导至基因表达的细胞内信号传导途径的努力中,我们最近发现I组受体的激活激活丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)。作为表面膜和细胞核之间的信息高速公路,MAPK途径因此可能将I组mGluRs与基因表达偶联。在这个延续提案中,提出了一系列实验来评估一个总体假设,即I组mGluRs激活MAPK级联反应以促进纹状体神经元中阿片基因的表达。使用多学科方法,将在四个一般实验中在体内和体外纹状体神经元中测试该假设:(1)在I充分表征的体内大鼠模型中,通过表征主要MAPK亚类,细胞外信号调节激酶1和2(ERKI/2)的I组I mGluR-调节的磷酸化,确定I组受体在MAPK调节中的作用,(2)使用亚型选择性激动剂/拮抗剂、反义寡核苷酸和突变小鼠区分两种I组亚型mGluR 1和I mGluR 5在该事件中的相对重要性(3)通过研究Ca 2+信号和蛋白激酶的作用,确定I组mGluR信号转导MAPK/ERK的信号通路(4)通过评估MAPK/ERK、Elk-1和CREB两种转录因子靶点的重要性,确定I组mGluR激活的MAPK/ERK级联在纹状体基因表达调控中的生理作用,I组/ERK敏感性强啡肽原和脑啡肽原基因在体内和体外的表达。该项目的完成将为成熟中枢神经元诱导基因表达的受体和信号转导机制提供新的解释。由于诱导型基因表达被认为是神经可塑性发展的重要组成部分,因此该项目的数据最终可以通过靶向ImGluRs和MAPK级联反应来促进新型药物治疗的发展,用于治疗由纹状体功能障碍引起的各种精神疾病。
