项目摘要
DESCRIPTION
Sexual dysfunction in women is primarily characterized by low levels of sexual arousal and
desire. Because no effective treatments exist for disorders of sexual desire in women, the FDA
was pressured to fast-track approval for the drug Addyi despite the absence of clinical evidence
that the drug provided any therapeutic benefit. Underlying the inability to construct a rational
approach to developing therapeutics for disorders of sexual desire in women is the lack of
research on the mechanistic basis for female sexual desire in pre-clinical models. We have
developed a Syrian hamster model of sexual desire that captures several essential elements
needed to translate the findings to women. We developed a procedure to evaluate the
rewarding properties of female sexual behavior, an element reported to be lacking in women
with low sexual desire. Women with low sexual desire also do not initiate sexual contacts with
their spouse or partner. In this regard we discovered an experimental approach to test the
female hamster's willingness to initiate sexual contacts with a male. Based on these hamster
studies we demonstrated that the rewarding consequences of sexual interactions with a male
feed forward to increase the female's sexual contacts. We further identified the mesolimbic
dopamine system, and prefrontal glutamatergic afferents, centered on the nucleus accumbens,
as a critical neural node mediating the rewarding effects of sexual behavior in females. The
research in this proposal takes three specific approaches to establish a programmatic
understanding of the neurobiology of female sexual desire. In the first aim we will use inhibitory
DREADDs to determine the relative contribution of dopamine and glutamate afferents to the
nucleus accumbens to the development of sexual reward and initiation of sexual interactions
with the male in our hamster model. We will also examine the contributions of these afferents to
changes in dendritic spine morphology consequent to female sexual experience. The second
aim takes a discovery approach to examining three possible intracellular signaling pathways
mediating the effects of sexual experience on behavioral and morphological plasticity. The last
aim will pharmacologically manipulate the individual signaling pathways to identify which of
these pathways are potential molecular targets for therapeutic development to treat problems of
sexual desire in women. Collectively this research will take a systematic approach to developing
a neurobiology of female sexual desire with an eye to the rational development of effective
therapies.
描述
女性性功能障碍的主要特征是性唤起水平低,
欲望由于没有有效的治疗方法存在的障碍,性欲的妇女,食品药品监督管理局
尽管缺乏临床证据,
这种药物有任何治疗效果无法建立一个合理的
开发治疗女性性欲障碍的方法是缺乏
在临床前模型中研究女性性欲的机制基础。我们有
我开发了一个叙利亚仓鼠的性欲模型,它包含了几个基本要素
需要将这些发现转化为女性。我们开发了一个程序来评估
女性性行为的奖励属性,据报道,女性缺乏这种元素
性欲低下。性欲低下的女性也不会主动与男性发生性接触。
配偶或伴侣。在这方面,我们发现了一种实验方法来测试
雌仓鼠主动与雄仓鼠进行性接触的意愿。根据这些仓鼠
我们的研究表明,与男性发生性关系的回报
以增加雌性的性接触。我们进一步确定了中脑边缘
多巴胺系统和前额叶皮层神经元传入,集中在延髓核,
作为一个关键的神经节点调解性行为的奖励效果的女性。的
本提案中的研究采取三种具体方法,
对女性性欲的神经生物学的理解。在第一个目标中,我们将使用抑制性
DREADDs,以确定多巴胺和谷氨酸传入的相对贡献,
性奖赏的发展和性互动的启动
和雄性仓鼠的关系我们还将研究这些传入的贡献,
树突棘形态学的变化导致女性性经验。第二
aim采用了一种发现的方法来检查三种可能的细胞内信号通路
介导性经验对行为和形态可塑性的影响。最后一
aim将自动操纵单个信号通路,以确定
这些途径是治疗药物开发的潜在分子靶点,
女人的性欲总的来说,这项研究将采取系统的方法来开发
