项目摘要

Project description Failure in axon regeneration after nervous system lesion is a major roadblock for functional recovery. Axon regeneration is controlled by both intrinsic and extrinsic cues from both neurons and surrounding glial environment. However, our understanding of glial control of axon regeneration remains incomplete. Here, we investigate axon regeneration of well-defined sensory neurons in Drosophila larvae. This in vivo model offers a powerful opportunity to investigate axon regeneration with single-cell resolution and genetic tractability. Our pilot study has made novel findings by discovering a critical involvement of glia-neuron interactions, in the form of gliotransmission, in specifying axon regenerative differences of neuron types. Based on these findings, we hypothesize that gliotransmission orchestrates neuron type-specific axon regeneration. Specifically, we propose that axotomy activates Ca2+ signals in glial cells to elicit gliotransmission, leading to accumulation of extracellular ATP. ATP is then converted by ecto-5’- nucleotidases to adenosine before activating adenosine receptors in the select neuron type, resulting in neuron type-specific Ca2+ signals and axon regeneration. In this project, we will leverage the power of Drosophila genetics and combine it with multidisciplinary approaches to test this hypothesis. Because axon regeneration mechanisms are conserved, our findings will likely be relevant to other species including mammals.

项目描述神经系统损伤后轴突再生的失败是神经再生的主要障碍。功能恢复轴突再生受内源性和外源性信号的共同控制神经元和周围的神经胶质环境。然而，我们对神经胶质对轴突再生的控制仍然不完全。在这里，我们研究轴突果蝇幼虫中明确的感觉神经元的再生。这个体内模型提供了一个强有力的机会，研究轴突再生与单细胞分辨率和基因的可塑性。我们的初步研究通过发现一个关键的神经胶质-神经元相互作用的参与，以神经胶质传递的形式，在指定神经元类型的轴突再生差异。基于这些发现，我们假设胶质传递协调神经元类型特异性轴突再生。具体地说，我们提出轴突切断激活神经胶质细胞中的Ca 2+信号以引发胶质传递，导致细胞外ATP的积累。ATP然后被外膜-5 '- 在激活选定神经元中的腺苷受体之前，核苷酸酶转化为腺苷型，导致神经元类型特异性Ca 2+信号和轴突再生。在这个项目中，我们将利用果蝇遗传学的力量，并将其与多学科联合收割机相结合，来检验这个假设。因为轴突再生机制如果我们的研究结果是保守的，那么我们的发现可能与包括哺乳动物在内的其他物种有关。
