项目摘要

Abstract Depression is a highly prevalent in Parkinson's disease (PD) and is often said to contribute more to the lowered quality of life than the debilitating motor symptoms. Although the etiology of depression in PD is unknown, understanding the potential pathophysiological processes and deleterious consequences of these co-morbidities is of high importance, and may lead to the development of novel treatment therapies. Currently, models aimed at deciphering the complex neurobiological interactions of PD and depression are lacking. In the proposed studies, we will combine the unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine rat model of PD with a widely accepted rat model of stress-induced depression symptomology (chronic variable stress model), to test the hypothesis that experimental depression exacerbates the neurodegeneration and associated dysfunction of the injured mesostriatal dopaminergic system as evaluated by functional, morphological, neurochemical, and gene expression analyses. SPECIFIC AIM #1 will determine if stress-induced depression either following, preceding, or flanking neurotoxin lesioning exacerbates behavioral symptoms and dopaminergic neuronal degeneration and related behavioral and neurochemical sequelae in the injured mesostriatal system. SPECIFIC AIM #2 will assess whether antidepressant treatment improves or hinders midbrain dopaminergic neuron survival and associated parameters in the combined PD/chronic stress-induced depression model. SPECIFIC AIM #3 will determine if experimental induction of depression exacerbates behavioral and neurochemical dysfunction and dopaminergic neuronal degeneration to a greater extent in the injured mesostriatal system of old vs. young animals. To test a potential mechanism of action, SPECIFIC AIM #4 will use a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist currently in clinical trials for treatment of depression to determine if endogenous glucocorticoids released during stress mediate the deleterious effects of stress-induced depression in the injured mesostriatal system. In the context of the dopaminergic mesotelencephalic system, each of these aims will be addressed by using forelimb-use asymmetry behavioral tests, tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemistry, HPLC analysis of dopamine and its metabolites, and in situ hybridization for dopamine- associated neurotrophic factors. The overall goal of this project is to gain functional, morphological and mechanistic insight into the co-morbidity of PD, stress and depression. Moreover, this research may lead to future therapies that alleviate affective as well as motor symptoms of PD. Project Narrative Almost half of all patients with Parkinson's disease, the second-most common neurodegenerative disease in the US, experience coexisting major depression. The present research will investigate whether having depression worsens motor symptoms and hastens brain cell death in PD. This work will help us understand the underlying brain circuits, chemicals and mechanisms interacting in these two co-morbid disorders and may reveal novel therapeutic approaches to relieve both mood and motor symptoms of PD.

摘要抑郁症在帕金森病（PD）中非常普遍，并且通常被认为对帕金森病（PD）生活质量的下降比衰弱的运动症状。虽然帕金森病抑郁症的病因是未知，了解潜在的病理生理过程和有害后果，这些共病是非常重要的，并且可能导致新的治疗疗法的发展。目前，缺乏旨在解释PD和抑郁症的复杂神经生物学相互作用的模型。在在本研究中，我们将联合收割机将单侧6-羟基多巴胺大鼠PD模型与广泛的采用大鼠应激抑郁模型（慢性可变应激模型），假设实验性抑郁症加剧了神经变性和相关的功能障碍，通过功能、形态学、神经化学和基因评估受损的中纹状体多巴胺能系统表情分析具体目标#1将确定是否压力引起的抑郁症，在神经毒素损伤之前或两侧的神经毒素损伤加重了行为症状和多巴胺能神经元损伤。变性和相关的行为和神经化学后遗症在受损的中纹状体系统。具体目标#2将评估抗抑郁药治疗是否改善或阻碍中脑多巴胺能 PD/慢性应激诱导抑郁模型中的神经元存活和相关参数。具体目标#3将确定抑郁症的实验性诱导是否会加剧行为和神经化学功能障碍和多巴胺能神经元变性在更大程度上在损伤老年与年轻动物的中纹状体系统。为了测试潜在的作用机制，特定目标#4将使用糖皮质激素受体拮抗剂目前在临床试验中治疗抑郁症，以确定在应激过程中释放的内源性糖皮质激素介导应激诱导的糖皮质激素的有害作用。抑郁症在受损的中纹状体系统。在多巴胺能中脑系统的背景下，这些目标中的每一个都将通过使用前肢使用不对称行为测试、酪氨酸羟化酶多巴胺及其代谢物的免疫组织化学、HPLC分析和多巴胺- 相关的神经营养因子。该项目的总体目标是获得功能，形态和对PD、压力和抑郁症的共病机制的洞察。此外，这项研究可能会导致未来的治疗，减轻情感以及运动症状的PD。项目叙述几乎一半的帕金森病患者，这是美国第二常见的神经退行性疾病，美国，经历了并存的严重抑郁症。本研究将调查是否有抑郁症会加重帕金森病患者的运动症状并加速脑细胞死亡。这项工作将帮助我们了解在这两种共病疾病中相互作用的潜在脑回路、化学物质和机制，揭示了新的治疗方法，以减轻情绪和运动症状的PD。
