项目摘要

Failure of damaged axons to regenerate and reestablish functional circuitry is the primary cause that results in permanent disabilities after central nervous system (CNS) injury, and is also a major factor contributing to the non-reversible neurologic dysfunction seen in neurodegenerative diseases. Of approximately 1.9% of the U.S. population with paralysis, some 1,275,000 are paralyzed as the result of a spinal cord injury (SCI). SCIs frequently result in at least some incurable impairment even with the best possible treatment and patients with complete injuries recover very little lost function. Under pathological situations such as multiple sclerosis, the second most common neurological disorder leading to disability in young adults, failure of damaged axons to regenerate contributes to neurologic abnormalities. Despite ample efforts in the past few decades, which have led to the discoveries of extracellular factors that impede, and intrinsic pathways in mature neurons that diminish the regenerative capacity of axons, effective therapies have not emerged given the fact that simply removing those inhibitory cues confers limited regrowth and that our understanding of neurons’ intrinsic regenerative properties still remains incomplete, indicating that additional regulatory machinery must be in place. This highlights the urgent need to identify novel molecular targets for therapy. With the goal to find novel factors essential for CNS axon regeneration, we have utilized a Drosophila sensory neuron injury model that resembles mammalian injury at the phenotypical and molecular level in a candidate- based genetic screen, and identified the Piezo-Atr (Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3 related) pathway as inhibitors for axon regeneration. This proposal aims to determine the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying Piezo- Atr’s function in flies and to elucidate the role of the mammalian Atr after peripheral or spinal cord injury. Atr is an essential component of the DNA damage response and also responds to mechanical force. This pathway has never been implicated in axon regeneration, and our study will thus provide exciting insights into the potential links among axon injury, DNA damage response, mechanosensation and regeneration, and will open new avenues of research for regeneration and spinal cord injury. Taking advantage of the power of fly genetics to identify novel factors and the mammalian injury model, this strategy offers a unique opportunity to gain insights into the repertoire of regeneration regulators, which may drive novel treatments to promote recovery in patients with neural injury or neurodegenerative diseases.

受损轴突无法再生和重建功能电路是导致中枢神经系统 (CNS) 损伤后造成永久性残疾，也是导致神经退行性疾病中不可逆神经功能障碍的一个主要因素，约占美国人口的 1.9%。在瘫痪人群中，约有 1,275,000 人因脊髓损伤 (SCI) 而瘫痪。即使采用最好的治疗方法，经常会导致至少一些无法治愈的损伤，并且患有以下疾病的患者在多发性硬化症等病理情况下，完全损伤恢复的功能很少。第二个最常见的神经系统疾病导致年轻人残疾，受损的轴突无法发挥作用再生会导致神经异常。尽管在过去的几十年里做出了巨大的努力，但确实如此。导致发现阻碍的细胞外因素，以及削弱成熟神经元的内在途径轴突的再生能力，鉴于简单地去除轴突的再生能力，尚未出现有效的治疗方法这些抑制信号导致有限的再生，并且我们对神经元内在再生的理解财产仍然不完整，这表明必须建立额外的监管机制。强调迫切需要确定新的治疗分子靶点。为了找到中枢神经系统轴突再生所必需的新因素，我们利用了果蝇的感觉器官。候选神经元损伤模型在表型和分子水平上类似于哺乳动物损伤基于遗传筛选，并确定 Piezo-Atr（共济失调毛细血管扩张和 Rad3 相关）途径作为抑制剂该提案旨在确定压电的细胞和分子机制。 Atr 在果蝇中的功能，并阐明哺乳动物 Atr 在外周或脊髓损伤后的作用。 DNA 损伤反应的重要组成部分，也对机械力做出反应。从未涉及轴突再生，因此我们的研究将为潜在的提供令人兴奋的见解轴突损伤、DNA损伤反应、机械感觉和再生之间的联系，并将开辟新的领域利用果蝇遗传学的力量来识别新因素和哺乳动物损伤模型，该策略提供了获得见解的独特机会。纳入再生调节剂的库中，这可能会推动新的治疗方法以促进患者的康复患有神经损伤或神经退行性疾病。
