项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract: Axons form connections between neurons over great distances in the brain and body, hence are vulnerable to damage and stress. This project studies an evolutionarily conserved stress response pathway that becomes activated in multiple scenarios of damage and stress, including nerve damage, traumatic axonal injury, disruption of axonal cytoskeleton, axonal transport, and mouse models of ALS and Alzheimer's Disease. The pathway, governed by the dileucine zipper kinase DLK, known as Wallenda (Wnd) in Drosophila, promotes dichotomous outcomes of neuronal death, degeneration and regeneration in these diverse scenarios. The long term goals of this project are (1) to understand the mechanisms that lead to DLK signaling activation, and (2) to understand the cellular pathways that are regulated by DLK. The project combines studies in both Drosophila and mice, focusing on motoneuron (MN) responses to peripheral nerve injury (PNI). For the first goal, Aim 1 tests a hypothesis, built upon observation in Drosophila, that DLK/Wnd signaling is restrained by the presence of an intact synaptic connection, hence becomes activated following synapse loss. Subaim 1a probes the mechanism of synaptic restraint using genetic tools at Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Subaim 1b tests whether the principle is conserved for mammalian neurons, taking advantage of the accessibility of the mouse NMJ to surgical manipulations and imaging. For the second goal, Aim 2 builds from translatome profiling (using RiboTag technology) of DLK-dependent responses in mouse MNs, which identified many secreted proteins and immune molecules as targets of DLK regulation following PNI. Subaim 2a establishes a descriptive characterization of the glial and immune responses gated by DLK in injured MNs and in DRG neurons, which are also injured by PNI. Subaim 2b tests a specific hypothesis that `synaptic stripping' in which upstream synaptic inputs to damaged motoneurons are removed concomitant with a recruitment of microglia to the MN cell body, is controlled by DLK activation in the injured MN. While Aim 1 identifies specific circumstances that activate DLK signaling, Aim 2 identifies downstream cellular functions of DLK that may be broadly relevant in many paradigms of injury and stress. Together the work in these two aims is expected to shed light on the relationship of synapse loss with other responses in the nervous system (neuronal death, inflammation and plasticity) in diverse contexts of injury, neuropathies and neurodegenerative disease.
项目概要/摘要: 轴突在大脑和身体中的远距离神经元之间形成连接,因此容易受到 伤害和压力。该项目研究了一种进化上保守的应激反应途径, 在多种损伤和应激情况下激活,包括神经损伤,创伤性轴突损伤, 轴突细胞骨架的破坏、轴突运输以及ALS和阿尔茨海默病的小鼠模型。的 由双亮氨酸拉链激酶DLK(在果蝇中称为Wallenda(Wnd))控制的途径促进 在这些不同的情况下,神经元死亡、变性和再生的二分结果。长 本项目的长期目标是(1)了解导致DLK信号激活的机制,以及(2) 了解由DLK调节的细胞通路。该项目结合了对果蝇和 和小鼠,重点是运动神经元(MN)对周围神经损伤(PNI)的反应。对于第一个目标,目标1 测试了一个假设,建立在果蝇的观察,即DLK/Wnd信号受到抑制的存在, 因此在突触丧失后被激活。Subaim 1a探测 在果蝇神经肌肉接头(NMJ)使用遗传工具的突触抑制机制。Subaim 1b 测试是否原则是保守的哺乳动物神经元,利用的可访问性, 小鼠NMJ的手术操作和成像。对于第二个目标,Aim 2从translatome构建 在小鼠MN中DLK依赖性应答的分析(使用RiboTag技术),其鉴定了许多 分泌蛋白和免疫分子作为PNI后DLK调节的靶点。Subaim 2a建立了一个 损伤MN和DRG中DLK门控的神经胶质和免疫应答的描述性表征 神经元,这也是由PNI损伤。Subaim 2b测试了一个特定的假设,即“突触剥离”,其中 损伤运动神经元的上游突触输入被移除,同时小胶质细胞被募集, MN细胞体由受损MN中的DLK激活控制。虽然目标1确定了具体的 在激活DLK信号传导的情况下,Aim 2鉴定了DLK的下游细胞功能, 在许多伤害和压力的范例中广泛相关。这两个目标的工作预计将 揭示了突触丧失与神经系统中其它反应的关系(神经元死亡, 炎症和可塑性)在损伤、神经病变和神经退行性疾病的不同情况下。
