For decades, there has been a critical gap in translating preclinical work on mechanisms of contusion expansion in traumatic brain injury (TBI) to clinical therapies that improve outcome. This is important because contusion expansion is a major driver of unfavorable outcome in TBI with up to 5X increase in morbidity and mortality, yet there are no treatments or biomarkers to identify patients at risk. There is immense potential to address this issue because unlike primary injury, contusion expansion results from host response to the initial TBI and thus is a modifiable secondary injury. Guideline-based care uses a reactive templated approach to this hugely complex process without addressing individual differences in contributory pathways; it does not prevent or limit contusion expansion and struggles to mitigate the life-threatening consequences. Such homogeneous strategies for a heterogeneous disease have unsurprisingly led to many failed clinical trials. Our long-term goal is to harness relevant individual data (molecular, single-cell [SC], genetic, imaging) to direct precision medicine for TBI contusion expansion. This R21 addresses existing knowledge gaps in a promising therapy for contusion expansion being primed for translation: Glyburide (GLY). Existing research generated exciting momentum but also revealed major individual differences in GLY targets that could affect drug-response/successful translation. Our objective is to use SC and proteomic strategies to molecularly endotype GLY-targeted pathways of contusion expansion in human TBI. The rationale is that it allows us to better understand heterogeneous benefits and opportunities of GLY and optimize translation: it informs cellular origins of key targetable and measurable contusion expansion pathways. The central hypothesis is that a subset of quantifiable cell-type specific differentially expressed genes, pathways and proteins targeted by GLY identify risk for TBI contusion expansion. Aim 1 demonstrates that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) SC transcriptomic signatures endotype GLY-targeted contusion expansion in humans. Aim 2 demonstrates that contusion expansion is preceded by GLY-targetable protein biomarkers changes. The aims are synergistic: cell-type differential gene expression (Aim 1) informs likely sources of measurable CSF biomarkers (Aim 2) of contusion expansion. The work is feasible given exciting pilot data, an existing TBI biobank, an established multidisciplinary team and bioinformatic pipelines. It is innovative as it shifts a guideline-based approach to precision medicine, creates a first-in-human atlas of CSF SC response in TBI, and identifies contusion expansion biomarkers in pathways targeted by a drug being tested in human TBI. The expected impact includes molecular endotype-based risk-stratification and enriched patient- selection for GLY trials (high risk, pharmacodynamic response). Unique cellular components that drive contusion expansion combined with early clinically measurable CSF biomarkers can guide unprecedented cell- and target- precise therapy including novel (preventive) druggable targets. This lays the foundation for a paradigm shifting SC-based precision medicine approach to understand, monitor, and treat a devastating secondary injury in TBI.

几十年来，在转化挫伤扩展机制的临床前工作方面一直存在着一个关键的空白 创伤性脑损伤（TBI）的临床治疗，改善结果。这很重要，因为挫伤 扩张是TBI不良结局的主要驱动因素，发病率和死亡率增加高达5倍， 没有治疗方法或生物标志物来识别有风险的患者。解决这一问题的潜力巨大 这是因为与原发性损伤不同，挫伤扩展是由宿主对初始TBI的反应引起的， 是一种可以改变的二次伤害基于指南的护理使用了一种反应式模板化的方法， 复杂的过程，没有解决贡献途径中的个体差异;它不会阻止或限制 挫伤扩大，并努力减轻危及生命的后果。这种同质策略 对于一种异质性疾病的研究导致了许多失败的临床试验。我们的长期目标是 利用相关的个体数据（分子，单细胞[SC]，遗传，成像）来指导精准医学， 创伤性脑损伤挫伤扩大。这一R21解决了现有的知识差距，在一个有前途的治疗挫伤 正在准备翻译的扩增：格列本脲（GLY）。现有的研究产生了令人兴奋的势头， 还揭示了可能影响药物反应/成功翻译的GLY靶点的主要个体差异。 我们的目标是使用SC和蛋白质组学策略对GLY靶向途径进行分子内型化， 创伤性脑损伤中的挫伤扩展。其基本原理是，它使我们能够更好地理解异质性利益 GLY和优化翻译的机会：它告知细胞起源的关键靶向和可测量的 挫伤扩展路径。中心假设是可定量的细胞类型特异性的亚群， GLY靶向的差异表达基因、途径和蛋白质可识别TBI挫伤扩展的风险。 目的1证明脑脊液（CSF）SC转录组签名内型GLY靶向 在人体内的挫伤扩展。目标2表明挫伤扩展之前有GLY靶向作用 蛋白质生物标志物的变化。目的是协同的：细胞类型差异基因表达（Aim 1） 挫伤扩展的可测量CSF生物标志物（目标2）的可能来源。考虑到令人兴奋， 试点数据，现有的TBI生物库，建立多学科团队和生物信息学管道。是 创新，因为它将基于指南的方法转变为精准医学，创建了第一个人体CSF图谱 TBI中的SC反应，并确定受试药物靶向途径中的挫伤扩展生物标志物 在人类创伤性脑损伤中预期的影响包括基于分子内型的风险分层和丰富的患者- GLY试验的选择（高风险，药效学反应）。导致挫伤的独特细胞成分 扩增结合早期临床可测量的CSF生物标志物可以指导前所未有的细胞和靶向， 精确治疗，包括新的（预防性的）药物靶点。这为范式转变奠定了基础 基于SC的精确医学方法，用于了解，监测和治疗TBI中的毁灭性继发性损伤。
