项目摘要

Summary Ataxin-1 is polyglutamine (polyQ) protein that operates as a chromatin-binding factor and gene repressor. In recent years, ataxin-1 has been found implicated in multiple pathophysiological processes ranging from the control of APP amyloidogenic cleavage to the modulation of neural precursor proliferation in the hippocampus. Our group has also highlighted a novel immunomodulatory function for ataxin-1 targeting B cell responses in central nervous system (CNS) autoimmunity. This experimental evidence adds an additional layer of complexity to ataxin-1 research, which has been mainly focused on spinocerebellar ataxia type (SCA1)—a neurodegenerative disorder caused by polyQ expansion mutations in ataxin-1. Importantly, all the efforts carried out so far to characterize ataxin-1 function have relied only on global ataxin-1 null mice. However, the ubiquitous expression of ataxin-1 and the complex cytoarchitecture of many tissues have complicated the systematic analysis of all the molecular mechanisms controlled by ataxin-1 in different cell types and developmental stages. To fill this gap, here we propose to develop a conditional ataxin-1 knockout mouse line using the binary Cre/Lox system. This novel in vivo model will be instrumental to dissect the cell-autonomous and cell-mediated effects of ataxin-1 in any target cytotype. In Specific Aim 1, we will employ CRISPR/Cas9 technology to introduce two LoxP sites in the mouse genome, flanking one exon of the ataxin-1 encoding Atxn1 gene. In Specific Aim 2, we will breed the newly generated floxed Atxn1 mouse line with a Cd19-Cre driver line to ablate ataxin-1 in the B cell compartment. We will then induce the multiple sclerosis model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in the conditional Atxn1 knockout mice, in order to study the contribution of ataxin-1 expression in B cells to autoimmune demyelination. Altogether, the proposed aims hold the power to generate a new research tool that will substantially advance the current understanding of ataxin-1 biology, with important implications and lessons for several neurodegenerative diseases including multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease.

摘要 Aaxin-1是一种多聚谷氨酰胺(PolyQ)蛋白，作为染色质结合因子和基因抑制因子发挥作用。在……里面近年来，ataxin-1被发现与多种病理生理过程有关，从 APP淀粉样变性裂解对海马区神经前体增殖的调控。我们的团队还强调了ataxin-1靶向B细胞反应的一种新的免疫调节功能中枢神经系统(CNS)自身免疫。这一实验证据增加了一层额外的复杂性到ataxin-1的研究，主要集中在脊髓小脑型共济失调(SCA1-a) 由ataxin-1多聚Q扩增突变引起的神经退行性疾病。重要的是，所有的努力到目前为止，对ataxin-1功能的表征仅依赖于全局ataxin-1基因缺失的小鼠。然而，无处不在的 Ataxin-1的表达和许多组织的复杂细胞结构使系统复杂化。分析ataxin-1在不同细胞类型和发育阶段调控的所有分子机制。为了填补这一空白，我们在这里建议使用二进制Cre/Lox开发条件ataxin-1基因敲除小鼠系系统。这一新的体内模型将有助于剖析细胞自主和细胞介导的影响。 Aaxin-1在任何靶细胞类型中的表达。在具体目标1中，我们将使用CRISPR/Cas9技术来引入两个小鼠基因组中的loxP位点，位于ataxin-1编码atxn1基因的一个外显子的两侧。在具体目标2中，我们将用CD19-Cre驱动系培育新产生的花生Atxn1小鼠系，以去除B区的ataxin-1 牢房。然后我们将诱导多发性硬化症模型实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎 (EAE)条件基因敲除Atxn1小鼠，以研究Ataxin-1在B细胞中表达的作用自身免疫性脱髓鞘。总之，提议的目标有能力产生一种新的研究工具这将大大促进目前对ataxin-1生物学的理解，具有重要的意义和对包括多发性硬化症和阿尔茨海默病在内的几种神经退行性疾病的教训。
