项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Potentiometric probes are dyes which, when bound to the membranes of excitable cells, behave as molecular indicators of membrane potential. The optical properties of these molecules vary linearly with voltage and may be used to monitor action potentials, synaptic potentials, or other voltage changes from a large number of sites at once, without the use of electrodes. For nearly thirty years our laboratory has pioneered the technology for using potentiometric probes, and developed new optical methods for use in cellular neurophysiology, including a system for Multiple Site Optical Recording of Transmembrane Voltage (MSORTV). Now we will employ a new and much more sensitive high-resolution camera system and newly designed voltage sensitive dyes, to study the functional role of individual nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes in intact vasodilator reflexes that are fully contained within the gut wall and are mediated by the enteric nervous system (ENS). The ENS is an autonomous network with identified functions, comprising two plexuses, submucous and myenteric, located in distinct planes within the gut wall. Since the effector organs for these plexuses (blood vessels, transporting epithelium, neuroendocrine cells, immune elements, and smooth muscle) are also contained within the gut wall, semi-intact preparations can be dissected that preserve intact reflex pathways. The vasodilator reflexes described here can be evoked by electrical stimulation, balloon-distension or mucosal-stroking, and require activation of myenteric neurons that converge onto vasodilator submucosal neurons whose activity triggers the dilation of submucosal arterioles. The reflex evoked by electrical stimulation will be studied in a myenteric-submucosa semi-intact preparation. The others will be studied in a semi-intact flat-sheet ileal preparation. All of these reflexes exhibit hexamethonium-sensitive myenteric and submucosal components. Thus, by using MSORTV and a novel analytical approach, we will identify the role of individual nAChR subtypes in vasodilation. These reflex pathways, that project through the myenteric plexus to the submucosa, serve as examples of the mechanisms, built into ENS networks, which coordinate mucosal blood flow with specific motor and secretory patterns in the intestine.

描述（由申请人提供）：电位探针是一种染料，当与可兴奋细胞的膜结合时，作为膜电位的分子指示器。这些分子的光学性质随电压线性变化，可用于监测动作电位、突触电位或其他电压变化，而无需使用电极。近三十年来，我们的实验室开创了使用电位探针的技术，并开发了用于细胞神经生理学的新光学方法，包括跨膜电压多位点光学记录系统（MSORTV）。现在，我们将采用一种新的和更灵敏的高分辨率相机系统和新设计的电压敏感染料，研究单个尼古丁乙酰胆碱受体（nAChR）亚型在完全包含在肠壁内并由肠神经系统（ENS）介导的完整血管舒张反射中的功能作用。ENS是一个具有明确功能的自主网络，包括两个神经丛，粘膜下神经丛和肌肠神经丛，位于肠壁内的不同平面。由于这些神经丛的效应器官（血管、运输上皮细胞、神经内分泌细胞、免疫元件和平滑肌）也包含在肠壁内，因此可以解剖保留完整反射通路的半完整制剂。本文描述的血管扩张性反射可以通过电刺激、球囊扩张或粘膜触碰引起，并且需要激活肌肠神经元，这些神经元会聚到粘膜下血管扩张性神经元，其活动触发粘膜下小动脉的扩张。电刺激引起的反射将在肌粘膜下层半完整的制备中进行研究。其他的将在半完整的平板回肠准备中进行研究。所有这些反射都表现出对六甲基铵敏感的肌和粘膜下成分。因此，通过使用MSORTV和一种新的分析方法，我们将确定单个nAChR亚型在血管舒张中的作用。这些反射通路，通过肌丛投射到粘膜下层，作为机制的例子，建立在ENS网络中，协调粘膜血流与肠道特定的运动和分泌模式。
