项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): My long-term goal is to develop an independent program of research investigating how alterations of normal memory and emotional processing contributes to the development of psychiatric disorders, and the mechanisms that cause the switch from normal to pathological. To date, I have primarily used my behavioral and molecular neuroscience training to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying fear memory and the role of external environmental stressors in the modulation of these processes. Internal events, including severe illness and heart attack, also frequently cause increased anxiety, depression and PTSD, however the mechanisms that mediate dysregulation after these internal events remain unknown. In order to effectively study internal triggers of anxiety and fear, I will require additional training and support. As such, I have assembled an advisory panel consisting of my mentor, Dr. Jelena Radulovic, an expert in molecular and behavioral neuroscience and neuroimmunology, as well as experts in immunology and models of cardiovascular disease, Dr. Stephen Miller and Dr. Douglas Losordo respectively. With these consultants, I will obtain training on immunological techniques and concepts, be taught the surgical methods for induction of myocardial infarction, and, under the mentorship of Dr. Radulovic, I will receive guidance on issues related to animal models of anxiety and fear, as well as specific tutelage on concepts in neuroimmunology and additional molecular techniques. This project aims to investigate the contribution of cytokine signaling in specific brain regions to the emergence of anxiety and excessive fear. To do this I will develop a new model, integrating a surgical model of heart attack (myocardial infarction, MI) that triggers a systemic cytokine response, with behavioral models of anxiety and fear. I will use immunological and molecular neuroscience techniques to determine the signaling correlates and causes of these behavioral alterations in male and female mice. In Aim 1, I will determine the emergence of anxiety and exaggerated fear after MI. Aim 2 will determine post-MI dysregulation of cytokines in brain regions related to anxiety and fear. Finally, Aim 3 will examine the cytokine-dependent intracellular molecular signaling mechanisms that mediates increased anxiety and fear. In all experiments I will concurrently study male and female mice. I hypothesize that anxiety and enhanced fear will be a consequence of MI, emerging and persisting in the weeks and months after MI. In parallel to these behavioral changes, I expect increased pro-inflammatory cytokines in brain regions mediating anxiety and fear. Finally, I hypothesize that cytokine-dependent JAK/STAT signaling mediates emotional and mnemonic dysregulation after MI. These findings will be highly relevant both for the specific etiology of post-heart attack PTSD, and for the more general question of whether the same mechanisms mediate PTSD after chronic external stressors. During the mentored phase of this project, I will execute Aims 1 and 2, which will provide a solid basis in both experimental data, and acquired skills and knowledge, for the independent phase in which I will determine the activation and role of cytokine-mediated JAK/STAT signaling the post-MI emergence of anxiety disorders and PTSD. This project will provide a framework to sustain ongoing research in my ongoing, independent research career. I expect that two main directions for research following data generated by this project will be (1) detailed mechanistic studies of sex differences emerging in behavioral or signaling alterations after MI, and (2) the role of cytokine-signaling in the switch from acute, adaptive effects of stress, to chronic, maladaptive syndromes. My training during the mentored phase of this project will be conducted in the laboratory of Dr. Jelena Radulovic in the department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern University. Here, I have access to many resources including collaborative discussions, the equipment required to conduct the experiment, seminars and classes for the breadth and depth of training, and professional development opportunities, including workshops and research presentations. In addition, I will have access to the resources and expertise of my consultants and advisory panelists, Drs. Miller and Losordo, for cytokine analysis and myocardial infarction and histology, respectively. Through the training gained through this project I will learn immunological, surgical, and additional behavioral and molecular neuroscience skills, develop a multidisciplinary model to use in subsequent research projects, and generate data on which to base future research directions. As such, by the end of the mentored phase, I will have the skills and knowledge to design, execute, and analyze experiments that will elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which internal and external events modulate memory and emotional processing, and thereby contribute to psychiatric disorders.
PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project, based on the clinical observations that a large proportion of heart attack patients subsequently develop anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder, aims to utilize animal models of anxiety and fear to investigate the post-heart attack mechanism triggering these psychiatric disorders. I expect that inflammatory signaling in the brain will play a major role in the development of anxiety and fear after heart attack, and that these pathways will be novel targets for treatment and prevention of anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.
描述(由申请人提供):我的长期目标是开发一个独立的研究计划,调查正常记忆和情绪处理的改变如何有助于精神疾病的发展,以及导致从正常到病理转变的机制。到目前为止,我主要使用我的行为和分子神经科学的培训,调查恐惧记忆的分子机制和外部环境压力在这些过程的调制中的作用。内部事件,包括严重疾病和心脏病发作,也经常导致焦虑,抑郁和创伤后应激障碍增加,但这些内部事件后介导失调的机制仍然未知。 为了有效地研究焦虑和恐惧的内部触发因素,我需要额外的培训和支持。因此,我组建了一个顾问小组,成员包括我的导师,分子和行为神经科学及神经免疫学专家Jelena Radulovic博士,以及免疫学和心血管疾病模型专家Stephen米勒博士和道格拉斯Losordo博士。在这些顾问的指导下,我将获得免疫学技术和概念的培训,学习诱导心肌梗死的手术方法,并且在Radulovic博士的指导下,我将获得与焦虑和恐惧动物模型相关问题的指导,以及神经免疫学和其他分子技术概念的具体指导。 该项目旨在研究特定大脑区域中细胞因子信号对焦虑和过度恐惧的贡献。为此,我将开发一种新的模型,将引发全身细胞因子反应的心脏病发作(心肌梗死,MI)手术模型与焦虑和恐惧的行为模型相结合。我将使用免疫学和分子神经科学技术来确定这些行为改变的信号相关性和原因在男性和女性小鼠。在目标1中,我将确定MI后焦虑和过度恐惧的出现。目的2将确定心肌梗死后与焦虑和恐惧相关的脑区细胞因子的失调。最后,目标3将研究介导焦虑和恐惧增加的依赖于精氨酸的细胞内分子信号传导机制。在所有实验中,我将同时研究雄性和雌性小鼠。我假设焦虑和恐惧的增强是MI的后果,在MI后的几周和几个月内出现和持续。在这些行为变化的同时,我预计大脑区域中介导焦虑和恐惧的促炎细胞因子会增加。最后,我推测,尼古丁依赖的JAK/STAT信号介导的情感和记忆障碍后MI。这些发现将是高度相关的心脏病发作后PTSD的具体病因,以及更普遍的问题,是否相同的机制介导慢性外部压力后的PTSD。 在本项目的指导阶段,我将执行目标1和2,这将为实验数据和获得的技能和知识提供坚实的基础,在独立阶段,我将确定马槟榔碱介导的JAK/STAT信号传导的激活和作用,MI后出现焦虑症和PTSD。这个项目将提供一个框架,以维持正在进行的研究,在我正在进行的,独立的研究生涯。我预计,根据本项目产生的数据,研究的两个主要方向将是(1)MI后行为或信号改变中出现的性别差异的详细机制研究,以及(2)尼古丁信号在从急性适应性应激反应转变为慢性适应不良综合征中的作用。 在这个项目的指导阶段,我的培训将在西北大学精神病学和行为科学系的Jelena Radulovic博士的实验室进行。在这里,我可以获得许多资源,包括合作讨论,进行实验所需的设备,研讨会和课程的广度和深度的培训,以及专业发展机会,包括研讨会和研究演示。此外,我还将获得我的顾问和咨询小组成员米勒博士和洛索尔多博士的资源和专业知识,分别用于细胞因子分析和心肌梗死和组织学。 通过这个项目获得的培训,我将学习免疫学,外科手术,以及其他行为和分子神经科学技能,开发一个多学科模型,用于后续的研究项目,并生成基于未来研究方向的数据。因此,在指导阶段结束时,我将拥有设计,执行和分析实验的技能和知识,这些实验将阐明内部和外部事件调节记忆和情绪处理的分子机制,从而有助于精神疾病。
公共卫生相关性:本项目基于临床观察,大部分心脏病患者随后会出现焦虑或创伤后应激障碍,旨在利用焦虑和恐惧的动物模型来研究心脏病发作后引发这些精神障碍的机制。我预计大脑中的炎症信号将在心脏病发作后的焦虑和恐惧的发展中发挥重要作用,这些途径将成为治疗和预防焦虑和创伤后应激障碍的新靶点。
