英文摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal for a 5-year K08 Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Neurological Disease and Stroke (NINDS) to investigate the role of NMO-IgG and Aquaporin-4 specific T cells in the immunopathogenesis of neuromyelitis optical. Neuromyelitis optical (NMO) is a devastating neuroinflammatory disorder targeting the optic nerves and spinal cord leading to blindness and paralysis. NMO is associated with a serologic biomarker, the NMO-IgG, which targets the aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channel on the end feet of astrocytes in the central nervous system. This grant is designed to elucidate the immunopathogenesis of neuromyelitis optical focusing on three aspects: 1. Characterizing the role of the NMO-IgG in inducing or exacerbating the NMO disease phenotype by recruiting granulocytes, 2. Identifying the target of the NMO-IgG on AQP4 in the spinal cord and optic nerves using specific anti-AQP4 antibodies, 3. Evaluating the role of Th17 cells specific for AQP4 in instigating and facilitating inflammation in the central nervous system. Each aim is complimentary to the whole project and will provide unique insights into the pathogenesis of NMO. The principle investigator for this project is Michael Levy, MD, PhD, and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at the Johns Hopkins University who is working under the mentorship of Peter Calabresi, MD, Professor and Director of the Division of Neuroimmunology at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Calabresi is a leader in the clinical and research fields of multiple sclerosis and neuroimmunologic diseases. Together in one of the nation's most productive research environments, Dr. Levy will have 75% protected time to spend in the lab and use the rest of the time to translate his basic science work to the bedside in the NMO clinic and on the inpatient neurology service at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
