项目摘要
Project Summary
Sleep is a critical behavioral state that fulfills essential needs for health, including clearing waste products (e.g.,
amyloid beta [Aβ]) from the brain. As humans age, sleep quality strikingly deteriorates, and this decline
correlates with increased risk for neurodegeneration, vascular dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease. While the
occurrence of sleep disruption during aging is well documented, the causative impact of sleep on brain
resilience with age and disease remains unexplored. I hypothesize that sleep is a key modulator of animal
health that can be manipulated to improve brain resilience in the context of aging and disease. To investigate
the impact of sleep on brain resilience late in life, I will (Aim 1) characterize if age-associated sleep
deterioration (e.g., circadian timing and amount of sleep) impacts cognitive health, (Aim 2) perturb sleep and
test the impact on cognitive resilience late in life, and (Aim 3) determine if sleep improves brain resilience in the
context of human Aβ1-42 overexpression. The age dependence of sleep deterioration and neurodegeneration
is difficult to study at scale due to the time-consuming challenge of aging vertebrates. To overcome this
challenge and tackle this question, I will use the African killifish, a model with an extremely short lifespan of
only 4-7 months. The killifish exhibits key hallmarks of human aging (e.g., neurodegeneration, frailty) and has
conserved brain structures and genes known to regulate sleep. Critically, killifish brains exhibit increases in
neurofibrillary degeneration, oxidative stress, gliosis, and inflammation, as well as decreases in repair, as they
age. The killifish also possesses practical advantages such as low husbandry costs, a short generation time
(<1 month), and genetic tractability. These traits make the killifish a suitable model system to investigate how
sleep may impact brain resilience with age. In preliminary efforts, I built a longitudinal tracking system to
generate an unprecedented view into how sleep changes across the lifespan, and I found that killifish exhibit
an age-associated sleep decline that parallels human sleep decline. I also genetically perturbed sleep and
identified novel lifespan-extending genes. I used my new CRISPR knockin method to develop the first killifish
model for Alzheimer’s disease. Using these tools and discoveries, I will determine how sleep impacts brain
resilience with age and disease. I am pursuing this project at Stanford University with training from my mentor
Dr. Anne Brunet, co-mentor Dr. Karl Deisseroth, and an exceptional scientific advisory team whose expertise
spans brain aging, Alzheimer’s disease, neurodegeneration, and sleep. Through continued training with the
K99/R00 award, I will learn new methods (killifish genetics, intact whole-mount brain staining, and advanced
transcriptomic/behavioral data analysis) and concepts (the biology of aging, Alzheimer’s disease, protein
aggregation, neurodegeneration). This work, my career development, and my technical training will provide me
with the skills and knowledge required to be a successful leader of a laboratory at a top academic institution.
项目概要
睡眠是一种重要的行为状态,可以满足健康的基本需求,包括清除废物(例如,
来自大脑的β淀粉样蛋白[Aβ])。随着人类年龄的增长,睡眠质量显着恶化,而且这种下降
与神经退行性变、血管性痴呆和阿尔茨海默病的风险增加相关。虽然
衰老过程中睡眠中断的发生是有据可查的,睡眠对大脑的影响
随着年龄和疾病的恢复能力仍有待探索。我假设睡眠是动物的关键调节剂
可以通过控制健康来提高大脑在衰老和疾病背景下的恢复能力。调查
睡眠对晚年大脑恢复能力的影响,我将(目标 1)描述与年龄相关的睡眠
恶化(例如昼夜节律和睡眠量)影响认知健康,(目标 2)扰乱睡眠和
测试对晚年认知弹性的影响,并(目标 3)确定睡眠是否可以改善晚年的大脑弹性
人类 Aβ1-42 过度表达的背景。睡眠恶化和神经退行性疾病的年龄依赖性
由于衰老脊椎动物面临着耗时的挑战,因此很难进行大规模研究。为了克服这个
为了挑战和解决这个问题,我将使用非洲鳉鱼,这是一种寿命极短的模型
仅4-7个月。鳉鱼表现出人类衰老的关键特征(例如神经退行性变、虚弱),并且具有
已知调节睡眠的保守大脑结构和基因。重要的是,鳉鱼大脑中的
神经原纤维变性、氧化应激、神经胶质增生和炎症,以及修复能力下降,因为它们
年龄。鳉鱼还具有饲养成本低、世代时间短等实用优点
(<1 个月)和遗传易处理性。这些特征使鳉鱼成为研究如何
随着年龄的增长,睡眠可能会影响大脑的恢复能力。在初步努力中,我建立了一个纵向跟踪系统
对睡眠在整个生命周期中如何变化产生了前所未有的认识,我发现鳉鱼表现出
与年龄相关的睡眠下降,与人类睡眠下降相似。我的睡眠也有遗传性的困扰
鉴定出新的延长寿命的基因。我使用新的 CRISPR 基因敲入方法培育了第一条鳉鱼
阿尔茨海默病模型。使用这些工具和发现,我将确定睡眠如何影响大脑
对年龄和疾病的恢复能力。我正在斯坦福大学进行这个项目,并接受导师的培训
Anne Brunet 博士、联合导师 Karl Deisseroth 博士以及一支拥有专业知识的杰出科学顾问团队
涵盖大脑衰老、阿尔茨海默病、神经退行性疾病和睡眠。通过持续培训
K99/R00奖,我将学习新方法(鳉鱼遗传学、完整的全脑染色和先进的
转录组/行为数据分析)和概念(衰老生物学、阿尔茨海默病、蛋白质
聚集、神经变性)。这项工作、我的职业发展和我的技术培训将为我提供
具备成为顶级学术机构实验室的成功领导者所需的技能和知识。
