Project Summary In the nematode C. elegans as in other animals, sickness is associated with reduced movement, reduced feeding, and increased sleep. Sickness behavior in worms is induced by environmental stressors including heat shock, ultraviolet light, and infection. This behavioral program during sickness is regulated by worm central neurons that are activated by the cytokine epidermal growth factor (EGF). EGF causes reduced activity in worms, flies, fish, and mice, but the mechanisms of EGF activation itself during sickness are not clear. We will use C. elegans to study the mechanism of EGF regulation during sickness. In Aim 1, we will determine where (from which cells) and when EGF is released to promote sickness behavior. To identify other regulators of EGF activation, in Aim 2, we will perform genome-wide discovery screens for genes required for sickness behavior. In Aim 3, we will test the hypothesis that sickness behavior supports survival during sickness. A long- term goal of these studies is to identify candidate signaling molecules for developing diagnostics and treatments of sleepiness during sickness and to understand the importance of sleep in promoting recovery from illness.

项目摘要 在线虫中，和其他动物一样，疾病与运动减少、减少 进食，增加睡眠。蠕虫的疾病行为是由环境应激源引起的，包括 中暑、紫外线和感染。疾病期间的这种行为程序是由蠕虫调节的 由细胞因子表皮生长因子(EGF)激活的中枢神经元。EGF导致活动减少 在蠕虫、苍蝇、鱼和老鼠中，EGF被激活，但疾病过程中EGF自身激活的机制尚不清楚。我们 将利用线虫研究EGF在疾病过程中的调节机制。在目标1中，我们将确定 在哪里(从哪个细胞)以及何时释放EGF来促进疾病行为。确定其他监管机构 在目标2中，我们将对疾病所需的基因进行全基因组的发现筛选 行为。在目标3中，我们将检验疾病行为支持疾病期间存活的假设。一个很长的- 这些研究的术语目标是确定用于开发诊断和诊断的候选信号分子 疾病期间嗜睡的治疗以及了解睡眠在促进康复中的重要性 因为生病。
