项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The temporal lobe, including the hippocampus, subiculum and entorhinal cortex (EC) is one of the primary brain regions associated with schizophrenia. EC is an integral component of the conduit through which information flows to the hippocampus, helping regulate cortical-hippocampal-subcortical interactions. Various abnormalities in Layer ll/lll stellate neurons of the EC have been described in neuropathologic studies of schizophrenia, including aberrant cytoarchitectural arrangement, smaller neuron size, decreased expression of the cytoskeletal protein MAP2, altered glutamatergic innervation and differential expression of a number of mRNAs including transcription factors, synaptic proteins, and ionotropic glutamate receptor subunits. The strategic location of the EC and the previously identified biological correlates in this region make the EC an excellent candidate for probing disease-related differences in gene expression associated with schizophrenia. Studies in post-mortem human tissue have identified alterations in gene expression in the EC and other brain regions; however, several issues remain to be investigated: 1) whole genome exploration of brain regions implicated in schizophrenia and 2) lack of discernment between expression profiles in target neuronal populations and changes occurring in other neuronal and non-neuronal populations, and 3) differentiation of gene expression profiles from schizophrenia versus profiles attributable to antipsychotic drug history in primate brain. To this end, we will use human post mortem tissue from the EC of schizophrenics and compare changes to bipolar disorder using the array collection from the Stanley Medical Research Foundation. This will be accomplished at the regional level and within Layer ll/lll and Layer V neurons in the EC. Additional studies will explore the defined changes in a cohort of schizophrenics from the UPENN brain bank. In addition, comparisons will be made between the human post-mortem tissue and tissue acquired from rhesus monkeys following six month antipsychotic administration. To date, the treatment regimen, necropsy and tissue harvesting have been completed with both fresh frozen and paraffin-embedded EC available.

描述（由申请人提供）：颞叶，包括海马、下托和内嗅皮层（EC），是与精神分裂症相关的主要脑区之一。EC是信息流向海马的管道的组成部分，有助于调节皮质-海马-皮质下的相互作用。在精神分裂症的神经病理学研究中已经描述了EC的第II/III层星状神经元中的各种异常，包括异常的细胞结构排列、较小的神经元尺寸、细胞骨架蛋白MAP 2的表达降低、神经元能神经支配的改变和许多mRNA（包括转录因子、突触蛋白和离子型谷氨酸受体亚基）的差异表达。EC的战略位置和先前确定的生物学相关性在这一地区的EC探测与精神分裂症相关的基因表达的疾病相关差异的一个很好的候选人。对死后人体组织的研究已经确定了EC和其他大脑区域基因表达的改变;然而，仍有几个问题有待研究：1）涉及精神分裂症的脑区域的全基因组探索和2）缺乏靶神经元群体中的表达谱与其他神经元和非神经元群体中发生的变化之间的辨别，以及3）灵长类动物脑中精神分裂症的基因表达谱与归因于抗精神病药物史的基因表达谱的区别。为此，我们将使用来自精神分裂症患者EC的人类死后组织，并使用斯坦利医学研究基金会的阵列收集来比较双相情感障碍的变化。这将在区域水平以及EC中的层II/III和层V神经元内完成。更多的研究将探讨来自UPENN脑库的一组精神分裂症患者的定义变化。此外，还将对人死后组织和给予6个月抗精神病药后从恒河猴获得的组织进行比较。到目前为止，处理方案、尸检和组织收获已经完成，新鲜冷冻和石蜡包埋的EC都可用。
