DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There are 30,000 cases of ALS at any given time in the United States. Presently there is no cure for ALS and few treatment options. Approximately 95% of cases have unknown etiology, but the remainder have a clear genetic origin. Studying the genetic cases has allowed great insight into the disease, which is applicable to both sporadic and familial cases. Continued work with animal models based on ALS-linked gene mutations and in vitro models of sporadic ALS will continue to increase knowledge of the disorder. The efficacy of CNS therapeutics is affected by limited CNS access, which can result in pharmacoresistance. Preclinical trials with different compounds have failed to cure the mouse model of ALS or even stop the progression of the disease and pharmacoresistance is one possible explanation for these failures. Tight junctions of the blood-brain and blood-spinal cord barriers (BBB/BSCB) physically restrict neural penetration of drugs; in addition, active drug extrusion by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) drug efflux transporters are known to affect the bioavailability and efficacy of multiple drugs. Recently, our laboratory reported a disease-driven increase in P-gp expression levels the spinal cords of SOD1-G93A mice. Furthermore, new data that I generated in the laboratory indicate that BCRP, another ABC transporter, increases in expression and function throughout disease progression in ALS mice, in addition to P-gp. This preliminary data, which was recently published, provides a comprehensive analysis of ABC drug efflux transporter alterations in ALS. A functional assessment of BBB/BSCB permeability throughout progression of ALS will be determined, since this phenomenon along with changes in transporter expression and function would alter the bioavailability of ALS- treating compounds. Finally, identification of the molecular mechanisms leading to drug transporter and blood- brain barrier alterations in ALS will be studied. The goals of this proposal will aid in understanding the obstacle provided by the ABC drug efflux transporters and the BBB/BSCB in developing effective pharmacotherapies for ALS.

描述（由申请人提供）：在美国任何时候都有30，000例ALS病例。目前，ALS没有治愈方法，治疗选择很少。大约95%的病例病因不明，但其余病例有明确的遗传来源。研究遗传病例使人们对这种疾病有了更深入的了解，这种疾病适用于散发性和家族性病例。基于ALS连锁基因突变的动物模型和散发性ALS的体外模型的持续工作将继续增加对该疾病的了解。CNS治疗剂的疗效受到CNS进入受限的影响，这可能导致药物耐药性。使用不同化合物的临床前试验未能治愈ALS的小鼠模型，甚至未能阻止疾病的进展，抗药性是这些失败的一个可能解释。血脑和血脊髓屏障（BBB/BSCB）的紧密连接在物理上限制了药物的神经渗透;此外，已知ATP结合盒（ABC）药物外排转运蛋白的主动药物挤出会影响多种药物的生物利用度和疗效。最近，我们的实验室报告了疾病驱动的P-gp表达水平增加的SOD 1-G93 A小鼠的脊髓。此外，我在实验室产生的新数据表明，除了P-gp外，另一种ABC转运蛋白BCRP在ALS小鼠的疾病进展过程中表达和功能增加。最近发表的这一初步数据提供了对ALS中ABC药物外排转运蛋白改变的全面分析。将确定在ALS进展过程中BBB/BSCB渗透性的功能评估，因为这种现象沿着转运蛋白表达和功能的变化将改变ALS治疗化合物的生物利用度.最后，将研究导致ALS中药物转运蛋白和血脑屏障改变的分子机制。该提案的目标将有助于了解ABC药物外排转运蛋白和BBB/BSCB在开发有效的ALS药物治疗中所提供的障碍。
