项目摘要

Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface characterized by a loss of tear film homeostasis. DED is one of the most common ophthalmological disorders, affecting 5-50% of populations world- wide, with a higher apparent incidence in females and aging populations. Symptoms associated with DED include ocular pain, irritation, dysesthesia, and blurred vision, which are major causes of visits to optometry and ophthalmology clinics. DED affects quality of life significantly and thus is a major public health concern. Despite the gravity of DED, the current treatments for DED are limited. Recent studies have uncovered the role of ocular sensory neurons, particularly cold thermoreceptor neurons, in the etiology of DED as well as ocular physiology. Furthermore, recent studies highlight the role of the cold and menthol receptor TRPM8 in cold sensory neurons in eye health and disease. The proposed research seeks to address the mechanism of ligand-dependent gating by TRPM8 and to develop agonists targeting TRPM8 to relieve DED, dry eye discomfort, and ocular pain. Toward these goals, we will employ a combination of structural biology, electrophysiology, chemical biology, and animal studies to interrogate the roles of TRPM8 in ocular physiology and pathophysiology as well as its pharmacological interventions. Taken together, successful completion of this work will provide the framework for therapeutic development on TRPM8, which will have far-reaching implications in treating ocular disorders.

干眼症（DED）是一种多因素疾病的眼表，其特征是撕裂膜的损失稳态。 DED是最常见的眼科疾病之一，影响了5-50％的人口 - 宽，女性和人口老龄化的发生率更高。与DED相关的症状包括眼部疼痛，刺激性，发抖和视力模糊，这是访问验光和访问的主要原因眼科诊所。 DED严重影响生活质量，因此是一个主要的公共卫生问题。尽管 DED的重力，DED的当前治疗方法是有限的。最近的研究发现了眼的作用感觉神经元，尤其是感冒热受体神经元，在DED和眼生理学的病因学中。此外，最近的研究强调了冷和薄荷醇受体TRPM8在冷感觉神经元中的作用在眼睛健康和疾病中。拟议的研究旨在解决依赖配体门控的机制通过TRPM8并开发针对TRPM8的激动剂，以减轻DED，干眼不适和眼部疼痛。走向这些目标，我们将采用结构生物学，电生理学，化学生物学和动物的结合研究TRPM8在眼生理和病理生理学及其的研究药理干预措施。综上所述，这项工作的成功完成将为 TRPM8的治疗发展，这将在治疗眼部疾病方面具有深远的影响。
