DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common chronic complication of type 1 diabetes, characterized by progressive loss of thermal, tactile and pain sensations. The loss of peripheral sensations, coupled with impaired microvascular function in DPN can contribute to non-healing ulcers and lead to amputations. The goal of this study is to determine the mechanism(s) involved in altered thermal sensation in DPN. One hypothesis states that DPN results from altered nerve growth factor (NGF) trophic support to dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. We believe that NGF regulates a thermal sensor protein, transient receptor potential channel (TRPV1), presumably by activating the NADPH oxidase superoxide generating system. Accordingly, we propose that an increase in NGF early in diabetes mediates thermal hypersensitivity, while low NGF levels or damage to sensory nerves as the disease progresses leads to sensory loss. We will test this hypothesis based on the specific aims outlined. Aim 1. To determine whether NGF regulates thermal sensation, the expression of TRPV1 and NADPH oxidase subunits in vivo. This aim will test if in vivo administration of NGF promotes hyperalgesia and whether this increases TRPV1 and NADPH oxidase subunit expression. Mice will be administered NGF by intraplantar injections, followed by analgesic testing 24 h later. DRGs and hindpaw skin obtained from vehicle and NGF treated mice will be collected to determine TRPV1 and NADPH oxidase mRNA and protein expression. Aim 2. To determine if altered thermal sensitivity in diabetes is associated with changes NGF, TRPV1 and the expression and activity of NADPH oxidase subunits. Using a double transgenic mouse model of type 1 diabetes we will measure the levels of NGF in lysates of DRGs and skin preparations, followed by measuring TRPV1 and NADPH oxidase expression using biochemical and molecular biology techniques. Preliminary studies indicate increased levels of TRPV1 in DRG neurons and hind paw skin samples correlates positively with the hyperalgesic response. Aim 3. To determine whether NGF or insulin therapy restores normal thermal sensitivity and the normal expression of TRPV1 and NADPH oxidase subunits in diabetic mice. Based on the hypothesis that a deficiency in NGF produces the hypoalgesic phenotype characteristic of type 1 diabetic mice, we will administer NGF or insulin (to maintain adequate glycemic control) to these animals and determine if it restores normal thermal sensation. The thermal thresholds of euglycemic controls and diabetic animals will be determined prior to and following administering either vehicle, NGF and insulin or a combination of these agents. The data obtained from this study would provide a better understanding of the role of NGF and the TRPV1 receptor in the controlling thermal sensations thermal in DPN. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed project will focus on understanding some of the changes in nerve cell function, which lead to loss of pain perception in patients with diabetes, a complication termed diabetic peripheral neuropathy. We believe that the information gained by this study could contribute significantly to our appreciation of this disease and contribute to the development of novel drug therapies.

描述（由申请人提供）：糖尿病周围神经病变（DPN）是1型糖尿病的常见慢性并发症，其特征为热、触觉和疼痛感觉的进行性丧失。周围感觉的丧失，加上DPN中微血管功能受损，可导致溃疡不愈合并导致截肢。本研究的目的是确定DPN热感觉改变的机制。一种假说认为DPN是由神经生长因子（NGF）对背根神经节（DRG）神经元的营养支持改变所致。我们认为，神经生长因子调节热传感器蛋白，瞬时受体电位通道（TRPV1），大概是通过激活NADPH氧化酶超氧化物生成系统。因此，我们提出，在糖尿病早期增加神经生长因子介导的热过敏，而低神经生长因子水平或损伤的感觉神经，随着疾病的进展，导致感觉丧失。我们将根据概述的具体目标来检验这一假设。目标1.为了确定NGF是否调节热感觉，在体内TRPV 1和NADPH氧化酶亚基的表达。该目的将测试是否在体内施用NGF促进痛觉过敏以及这是否增加TRPV1和NADPH氧化酶亚基表达。将通过足底内注射向小鼠施用NGF，然后在24小时后进行镇痛测试。将收集从媒介物和NGF处理的小鼠获得的DRG和后爪皮肤以测定TRPV 1和NADPH氧化酶mRNA和蛋白质表达。目标2.探讨糖尿病患者热敏感性的改变是否与神经生长因子（NGF）、TRPV1及NADPH氧化酶亚单位的表达和活性有关。使用1型糖尿病的双转基因小鼠模型，我们将测量DRG和皮肤制备物裂解物中的NGF水平，然后使用生物化学和分子生物学技术测量TRPV1和NADPH氧化酶表达。初步研究表明，DRG神经元和后爪皮肤样品中TRPV1水平的增加与痛觉过敏反应呈正相关。目标3.目的探讨神经生长因子或胰岛素治疗是否能恢复糖尿病小鼠的正常热敏感性及TRPV1和NADPH氧化酶亚单位的正常表达。基于神经生长因子缺乏会产生1型糖尿病小鼠痛觉减退表型特征的假设，我们将对这些动物施用神经生长因子或胰岛素（以维持足够的血糖控制），并确定其是否恢复正常的热感觉。将在施用媒介物、NGF和胰岛素或这些药剂的组合之前和之后确定血糖正常对照和糖尿病动物的热阈值。本研究的结果为深入了解NGF和TRPV1受体在DPN热感觉调控中的作用提供了依据。 公共卫生关系：拟议的项目将侧重于了解神经细胞功能的一些变化，这些变化导致糖尿病患者的疼痛感知丧失，这种并发症称为糖尿病周围神经病变。我们相信，这项研究所获得的信息可以大大有助于我们对这种疾病的认识，并有助于开发新的药物疗法。
