项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The factors by which aging predisposes to critical illness are varied, complex, and not well understood. Sepsis annually kills hundreds of thousands of people in the US with associated hospital costs of billions of dollars. Of concern, sepsis incidence is increasing at more than 8% annually. Sepsis is considered a quintessential disease of old age because the incidence and mortality of severe sepsis increases exponentially as we age. Patients 65 and older account for 65% of all sepsis cases and age independently predicts sepsis mortality. Studies suggest that chronic inflammation contributes to increased morbidity and mortality in older adults. Among predisposing factors, two are underappreciated as contributing to chronic inflammation and sepsis outcomes in older adults: sleep fragmentation and blood brain barrier transport. Sleep of older adults is fragmented, and sleep disruption is associated with increased production of cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Aging increases the rate TNF is transported from blood-to-brain across the blood brain barrier (BBB), and TNF transported across the BBB can induce the production of more TNF within the brain. These observations suggest the intriguing hypothesis that aging, sleep fragmentation and alterations in BBB transport synergistically contribute to chronic neuroinflammation. We will test this hypothesis within the context of four Aims. We will use the well-characterized model of cecal ligation and puncture to induce sepsis in mice. We will determine the impact of aging and sleep fragmentation on sepsis outcomes (Aim 1) and quantify changes in cytokine profiles in brain and periphery (Aim 2). We will also quantify effects of aging
and sleep fragmentation on the rate of TNF transport across the BBB and its accumulation in brain (Aim 3). Finally, we will inhibit cytokine actions in brain and determine effects on sepsis morbidity and mortality (Aim 4). Outcome measures for most experiments include symptoms of clinical illness (altered sleep, changes in brain temperature, reductions in water and food consumption, loss of body weight) and mortality. We have validated Luminex xMAP(R) technology for multiplex assay of cytokines from mouse brain. We will use this approach to quantify cytokine profiles in plasma and discrete brain regions (hypothalamus, hippocampus, brain stem) from the same animal. We will determine influx rates from blood-to-brain for TNF and ascertain the integrity of the BBB. Finally, we will antagonize TNF directly in brain and interfere with transcriptional regulation of TNF and other cytokines. To our knowledge, effects of aging, sleep fragmentation and alterations in BBB characteristics as determinants of sepsis outcomes have not been studied. Completion of this project will provide critical information that is currently lacking with respect to interactions among dynamic processes (aging, altered BBB parameters, sepsis) and predisposing factors (sleep fragmentation) that may contribute to negative outcomes in response to critical illness or injury.
描述(由申请人提供):衰老易患危重疾病的因素多种多样、复杂,而且还不清楚。在美国,败血症每年导致数十万人死亡,相关的医院费用高达数十亿美元。令人担忧的是,败血症的发病率以每年8%以上的速度增长。脓毒症被认为是一种典型的老年疾病,因为随着年龄的增长,严重脓毒症的发病率和死亡率呈指数级增长。65岁及以上的患者占所有脓毒症病例的65%,年龄独立预测脓毒症死亡率。研究表明,慢性炎症会增加老年人的发病率和死亡率。在易感因素中,有两个因素被低估为导致老年人慢性炎症和脓毒症结果的因素:睡眠碎片和血脑屏障运输。老年人的睡眠是支离破碎的,睡眠中断与细胞因子的产生增加有关,包括肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)。衰老增加了肿瘤坏死因子通过血脑屏障(BBB)从血液输送到脑内的速度,而穿过血脑屏障的肿瘤坏死因子可以诱导脑内产生更多的肿瘤坏死因子。这些观察表明,这一耐人寻味的假设是,衰老、睡眠碎片和血脑屏障运输的变化协同作用导致慢性神经炎。我们将在四个目标的背景下检验这一假设。我们将使用盲肠结扎和穿孔的良好模型来诱导小鼠的脓毒症。我们将确定衰老和睡眠片断对脓毒症结局的影响(目标1),并量化大脑和外周细胞因子谱的变化(目标2)。我们还将量化老龄化的影响
和睡眠碎片对肿瘤坏死因子跨血脑屏障的转运和在大脑中积累的速率的影响(目标3)。最后,我们将抑制脑内细胞因子的作用,并确定对脓毒症发病率和死亡率的影响(目标4)。大多数实验的结果衡量标准包括临床疾病症状(睡眠改变、大脑温度变化、水和食物消耗的减少、体重减轻)和死亡率。我们已经验证了Luminex xMAP(R)技术用于从小鼠脑中进行细胞因子的多重分析。我们将使用这种方法来量化来自同一动物的血浆和离散脑区域(下丘脑、海马体、脑干)中的细胞因子谱。我们将测定肿瘤坏死因子从血到脑的流入速率,并确定血脑屏障的完整性。最后,我们将在脑内直接拮抗肿瘤坏死因子,并干扰肿瘤坏死因子和其他细胞因子的转录调控。据我们所知,作为脓毒症预后决定因素的衰老、睡眠片断和血脑屏障特征改变的影响尚未被研究。该项目的完成将提供目前缺乏的关于动态过程(衰老、血脑屏障参数改变、败血症)和可能导致危重疾病或伤害反应负面结果的易感因素(睡眠碎片)之间相互作用的关键信息。
