项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There are at least two types of Parkinson's disease (PD), familial and sporadic (sPD). By far, sPD accounts for the majority of cases and is becoming to be seen as the result of several genes and their interaction with the environment, including widely used pesticides. One such agent is paraquat (PQ), an herbicide used widely in developing countries and also in the USA. The data from epidemiological studies linking PQ exposure with sPD are inconclusive and we will show that PQ exposure alone is likely insufficient to produce sPD. At least one other factor is iron content [Fe] in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). Iron in the SNc is considered to be another risk factor for sPD. Studies conducted in vitro have shown that PQ and Fe act synergistically in killing dopamine neurons in the SNc, the pathological hallmark of PD. In the proposed research, we will show that PQ disrupts iron homeostasis in the SNc and that the increased iron in this tissue is what defines PQ neurotoxicity. The overall goal of this research is to identify genes and gene networks that confer differential susceptibility to PQ-induced increased Fe in the SNc. In order to address the problem, we will study the effect of PQ- increased Fe in 40 recombinant inbred strains derived from C57BL/6 and DBA/2 parental strains. The first experiment will be to show wide, genetic-based variability in paraquat- increased Fe in the SNc. The second experiment will be to show that PQ-based destruction of dopamine neurons is related to the extent of PQ-related disruption of Fe homeostasis in the SNc. We will next investigate the effects of paraquat on gene expression by microarray analysis in the substantia nigra, pars compacta and then by combining QTL analysis for the gene expression with QTL for PQ-increased Fe in the SNc, we will elucidate the biochemical pathways involved in paraquat-iron neurotoxicity as well as elucidating genetic markers that indicate increased (decreased) risk for damage to dopamine neurons in the SNc

描述（由申请人提供）：至少有两种类型的帕金森氏病（PD），家族性和零星（SPD）。到目前为止，SPD占了大多数病例，并且被视为几个基因及其与环境的相互作用的结果，包括广泛使用的农药。这样的特工是Paraquat（PQ），这是一种在发展中国家和美国广泛使用的除草剂。来自流行病学研究的数据将PQ暴露与SPD联系起来尚无定论，我们将表明，仅PQ暴露可能不足以产生SPD。至少另一个因素是黑质质子pars compacta（SNC）中的铁含量[Fe]。 SNC中的铁被认为是SPD的另一个危险因素。在体外进行的研究表明，PQ和FE ACT在杀死SNC中的多巴胺神经元（PD的病理标志）中协同作用。在拟议的研究中，我们将表明PQ破坏了SNC中的铁稳态，并且该组织中的铁增加是定义PQ神经毒性的原因。这项研究的总体目标是确定基因和基因网络，以使SNC中PQ诱导的Fe升高降低敏感性。为了解决这个问题，我们将研究40种来自C57BL/6和DBA/2家族菌株的重组近交菌株中PQ-Fe增加的影响。第一个实验是显示SNC中Fe的paraquat-Fe增加的广泛，基于遗传的变异性。第二个实验是表明，基于PQ的多巴胺神经元的破坏与SNC中Fe稳态的PQ相关稳定性破坏程度有关。 We will next investigate the effects of paraquat on gene expression by microarray analysis in the substantia nigra, pars compacta and then by combining QTL analysis for the gene expression with QTL for PQ-increased Fe in the SNc, we will elucidate the biochemical pathways involved in paraquat-iron neurotoxicity as well as elucidating genetic markers that indicate increased (decreased) risk for damage to dopamine SNC中的神经元
