项目摘要
Project Summary
Effective management of asthma requires regulating airway smooth muscle (ASM) contractility to prevent or
reverse bronchoconstriction. This is primarily achieved by use of direct bronchodilators (e.g., β-agonists), by anti-
inflammatory agents (e.g., corticosteroids) either alone or in combination. However, effective management is
lacking, as an estimated 55% of all asthmatics have suboptimal control. All current bronchodilator drugs have
limitations which respect to efficacy or safety. We propose a novel approach of targeting a mitochondrial protein,
the 18 kDa Translocator Protein (TSPO), as a means of bronchodilation/bronchoprotection. Our central
hypothesis is that potent, efficacious agonists of TSPO can be developed and employed as effective
bronchodilatory/bronchoprotection drugs. Three aims are proposed to test this hypothesis. In Aim 1, using in
vitro (primary airway smooth muscle cells; ASM), ex vivo (murine and human rings and precision cut lung slices),
and in vivo models (smTspo-/- mice), we will establish TSPO as a druggable target to promote relaxation of ASM.
In Aim 2, we will determine the mechanistic basis of TSPO regulation of ASM contraction by assessing the roles
of PKA, and mitochondrial Ca2+ and ROS, on signaling events known to regulate cross bridge cycle (regulatory
myosin light chain 20 and myosin phosphatase phosphorylation) or actin polymerization state (F/G actin ratio).
Lastly, in Aim 3 we will employ molecular modeling to design and synthesize new ligands for TSPO, with an
emphasis on generating new drugs that demonstrate superior binding properties and improved efficacy. These
will be tested in cell and tissue model systems employed in Aim 1. The proposed studies represent an innovative
approach to establish an asthma management strategy that overcomes the current limitations of efficacy and
safety. Moreover, the proposed mechanistic studies will provide new insight into how to optimally target the
mitochondria to regulate contractile signaling and function in ASM.
项目摘要
哮喘的有效管理需要调节气道平滑肌(ASM)收缩性,以防止或
逆转支气管收缩这主要通过使用直接支气管扩张剂(例如,β-激动剂),通过抗-
炎症剂(例如,皮质类固醇)。有效的管理是
缺乏,因为估计55%的哮喘患者控制不佳。目前所有的支气管扩张药物
关于有效性或安全性的限制。我们提出了一种靶向线粒体蛋白的新方法,
18 kDa转运蛋白(TSPO),作为支气管扩张/支气管保护的一种手段。我们的中央
假设可以开发出TSPO的强效、有效的激动剂并用作有效的
支气管扩张/支气管保护药物。提出了三个目标来检验这一假设。在目标1中,使用
体外(原代气道平滑肌细胞; ASM),离体(鼠和人环和精密切割的肺切片),
在体内模型(smTspo-/-小鼠)中,我们将TSPO确立为促进ASM松弛的药物靶点。
在目标2中,我们将通过评估作用来确定TSPO调节ASM收缩的机制基础
PKA、线粒体Ca 2+和ROS对已知调节跨桥周期的信号传导事件的影响(调节
肌球蛋白轻链20和肌球蛋白磷酸酶磷酸化)或肌动蛋白聚合状态(F/G肌动蛋白比率)。
最后,在目标3中,我们将采用分子模拟来设计和合成TSPO的新配体,
重点在于产生表现出上级结合特性和改善的功效的新药。这些
将在Aim 1中使用的细胞和组织模型系统中进行测试。拟议的研究代表了一种创新的
建立哮喘管理策略的方法,克服目前疗效的局限性,
安全为代价的此外,所提出的机制研究将为如何最佳地靶向
线粒体调节收缩信号传导和ASM中的功能。
