英文摘要
As an Otolaryngologist with a rich background in olfactory research and experience with the clinical
assessment of olfactory disorders, I am positioned with the unique opportunity to combine these two
disciplines in the search for medical therapies. This research career development plan consists of five years
of mentored training through the design and implementation of the proposed project. Courses in new
techniques, statistics, the ethics of animal and human studies, and the responsible conduct of research will
supplement this training. The lab of Dr. James Schwob within Tufts University School of Medicine will
provide the support, equipment, coursework, and overall educational environment to complete the research
and training objectives of this proposal. My long-term career goal is to become an independent investigator
within the area of olfaction at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in order to develop effective
therapies for patients suffering from olfactory disorders.
This research proposal will investigate the hypothesis that directed odorant exposure competitively
enhances the survival and axonal targeting of receptor-specific olfactory neurons during recovery from lesion
and that this effect occurs at the level of both the olfactory bulbs and olfactory epithelium. The hypothesis
will be tested through three specific aims all utilizing the mouse model of recovery from methyl bromide
exposure or olfactory nerve transection. Specific Aim 1 will look for the normalization in numbers of several
different olfactory receptor subtypes within the epithelium after nares closure and will assess the effect of
removing odor-induced activity on axon targeting. Specific Aim 2 will then show that selective repeated
odorant exposure provides a competitive advantage in survival and axon targeting for the receptive olfactory
neurons. Specific Aim 3 will then demonstrate that the enhanced survival observed in SA2 can occur without
the target organ and supports the role of CREB in this process.
In summary, this proposal determines the effect of repeated odorant exposure on the recovery of the
sense of smell after injury. It provides additional areas of research on the mechanisms of how the system
attempts to heal itself, and most importantly, the information gained from this work is relevant for the
development of therapies aimed at reversing sense of smell disorders in humans.
