项目摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY
The apolipoprotein E (ApoE) e4 is the strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and is
also associated with poor outcome after traumatic brain injury. ApoE is commonly expressed in astrocytes,
entering neurons via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Neurons also express ApoE in times of injury and stress
where it contributes to a neurotoxic cascade that eventually leads to neurodegeneration. Despite our growing
understanding of other proteins in the pathogenesis of AD, the mechanisms by which ApoE4 contributes to
neurotoxicity are not well understood. Recent advances in Drosophila genetics now allow us to assess the
contributions of ApoE cellular source to neurodegeneration and behavior through independent manipulation of
glial and neuronal expression. Preliminary data suggest that neuronal ApoE expression induces an ApoE4
isoform-specific neurodegeneration in our Drosophila tauopathy model. Additionally, ApoE4 expression causes
cytoskeletal and mitochondrial abnormalities in adult Drosophila brain. Based on these results, we hypothesize
that ApoE4 neurotoxicity is controlled through its cellular source and ability to stabilize actin and impair
mitochondrial dyanmics. Through the use of genetic tools in Drosophila and examination of postmortem
human tissue, our proposal aims to 1) compare neurodegeneration from neuronal vs. glial ApoE
expression, 2) investigate actin stabilization and mitochondrial abnormalities in ApoE4-specific
neurodegeneration, and 3) examine these same changes in ApoE4-positive human AD tissue. Based on
previous work from our lab defining the importance of cytoskeletal stabilization and mitochondrial dysfunction in
degenerative tauopathy models, we are confident that these preliminary data provide a novel mechanistic insight
into ApoE4-mediated neurodegeneration. These studies will highlight both the cellular and molecular roles of its
toxicity to fill fundamental gaps in our understanding of this important AD player. My proposal also takes
advantage of a variety of experimental approaches, including genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, and
human neuropathology. Finally, these goals and approaches will expose me to new research questions and
techniques to complement my previous training and prepare me for independence as I move forward in my
career.
项目摘要
载脂蛋白 E (ApoE) e4 是散发性阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 最强的遗传风险因素,并且是
也与脑外伤后的不良后果有关。 ApoE 通常在星形胶质细胞中表达,
通过受体介导的内吞作用进入神经元。 神经元在受伤和压力时也会表达 ApoE
它会导致神经毒性连锁反应,最终导致神经退行性变。 尽管我们不断成长
了解 AD 发病机制中的其他蛋白质,ApoE4 有助于的机制
神经毒性尚不清楚。 果蝇遗传学的最新进展现在使我们能够评估
ApoE 细胞来源通过独立操纵对神经退行性变和行为的贡献
神经胶质和神经元的表达。 初步数据表明,神经元 ApoE 表达诱导 ApoE4
我们的果蝇 tau 蛋白病模型中存在亚型特异性神经变性。 此外,ApoE4 表达会导致
成年果蝇大脑中的细胞骨架和线粒体异常。 根据这些结果,我们假设
ApoE4 神经毒性是通过其细胞来源以及稳定肌动蛋白和损害的能力来控制的
线粒体动力学。 通过在果蝇中使用遗传工具和尸检
人体组织,我们的提案旨在 1) 比较神经元与神经胶质 ApoE 的神经变性
表达,2) 研究 ApoE4 特异性的肌动蛋白稳定性和线粒体异常
神经变性,3) 检查 ApoE4 阳性人类 AD 组织中的这些相同变化。 基于
我们实验室之前的工作定义了细胞骨架稳定和线粒体功能障碍的重要性
退行性 tau 蛋白病模型,我们相信这些初步数据提供了新颖的机制见解
进入 ApoE4 介导的神经变性。 这些研究将强调其细胞和分子作用
毒性填补了我们对这个重要 AD 玩家理解的根本空白。 我的建议也需要
各种实验方法的优势,包括遗传学、分子生物学、细胞生物学,以及
人类神经病理学。 最后,这些目标和方法将使我接触新的研究问题和
技术来补充我之前的训练,并为我在前进中的独立性做好准备
