项目摘要

Our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases is currently hindered by lack of a firm neurobiological link between the patient's symptoms and the underlying neuropathology. To advance, we must identify not only key biochemical changes, but also how these changes alter the function of specific circuits to cause neurological symptoms. I seek to understand how impairment of particular circuits initiates early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and how addition of further dysfunction leads to the disease's ultimate decline. I will apply a new method of selective neuronal silencing in transgenic mice to examine the behavioral impact of inactivating neuronal circuits damaged in AD. My postdoctoral laboratory has developed a novel chloride channel that responds specifically to ivermectin by producing hyperpolarization that results in selective, reversible suppression of neuronal activity. I will use my expertise in transgenic technology to create a mouse in which the ivermectin channel is conditionally expressed under control of Cre recombinase. Mating this mouse to animals expressing Cre in selected neuronal populations will allow those cells to be silenced with systemic ivermectin. My goal is to explore the function of adult-born hippocampal neurons, as this population is severely diminished in mouse models for AD. I will examine the role of these cells in learning and memory by selectively silencing them at critical times in the acquisition, consolidation, and recall of new information. Additional studies will address the effect of silencing on the migration, morphology, and survival of these adult-born cells. My long-term plans are to examine the behavioral impact of silencing other circuits damaged later in the course of disease to understand how diminished activity in multiple domains results in the progressive cognitive decline of AD. In the process, I will generate a transgenic mouse for selective neuronal silencing that will be broadly useful to the neuroscience community.

我们对神经退行性疾病的理解目前由于缺乏公司而受到阻碍患者症状与潜在神经病理学之间的神经生物学联系。到进步，我们不仅必须确定关键的生化变化，而且还必须确定这些变化的变化特定电路引起神经系统症状的功能。我试图了解如何特定电路的损害会引起阿尔茨海默氏病（AD）的早期症状，以及如何进一步的功能障碍会导致该疾病的最终下降。我将应用一种新方法转基因小鼠中选择性神经元沉默，以检查在AD中损坏的神经元电路失活。我的博士后实验室已经开发了新型氯化物通道通过产生超极化对伊维菌素有反应这会导致选择性，可逆性抑制神经元活性。我将使用我的专业知识创建鼠标的转基因技术，其中伊维菌素通道是有条件的在控制CRE重组酶的控制下表达。将此鼠标与表达Cre的动物交配选定的神经元种群将使这些细胞用全身性伊维菌素沉默。我的目标是探索成人出生的海马神经元的功能，因为该人群严重在AD的鼠标模型中减少。我将研究这些细胞在学习和通过在收购，合并和召回的关键时期选择性沉默来记忆来记忆新信息。其他研究将解决沉默对迁移的影响，这些成年出生细胞的形态和存活。我的长期计划是检查在疾病的后期损坏的其他电路对沉默的行为影响了解多个领域的活动如何减少导致渐进的认知 AD的下降。在此过程中，我将生成一种用于选择性神经元的转基因小鼠沉默对神经科学社区至关重要。
