项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Diabetes mellitus and aging are commonly associated with increased incidence and severity of cardiovascular diseases. However, our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying these dysfunctions is impeded by a lack of structural information on autonomic nerve terminals and the circuitry within the cardiac tissues (brain-heart connections). Vagal projections to the heart originate from a sensory ganglion, i.e., the nodose ganglion, and the two motor nuclei, i.e., the nucleus ambiguus (NA) and the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DmnX). The overall goal of the present application is to determine the functional deficits of the vagal control of the heart induced by diabetes, aging or both, and to identify the damage to the cardiac neural circuitry, specifically to the vagal axonal projections to the heart. Vagal control of particular cardiac functions will be measured in two murine models of type 1 diabetes (strepozotocin-treated and transgenic OVE 26 mice). The vagal cardiac axons and terminals, glutamatergic transmission, and oxygen reactive species (ROS) within the parasympathetic system will be examined qualitatively and quantitatively using a battery of techniques that will include anterograde neural tracing, stereological counting, confocal microscopy, Neurolucida digitization, multichannel injections, dual immunohistochemistry, and intercellular measurement of ROS. These anatomical findings will be assessed in conjunction with physiological responses to enhance our understanding of structure-function relationships. Aim 1 will assess diabetes-associated attenuation of baroreflex and vagal control of the heart, and the associated structural changes of vagal projections to the heart and aortic arch, and examine whether diabetes and aging interact to induce more severe functional and anatomical damage to the vagal cardiac axons. Aim 2 will study diabetes and aging-associated changes in glutamatergic transmission within the brainstem. Aim 3 will determine ROS productions in parasympathetic neurons in diabetic and aging mice, and study whether chronic antioxidant treatment may reduce/prevent cardiovascular dysfunctions and structural damages, Collectively, the proposed experiments will provide unique insights into the remodeling of vagal outflow to cardiac tissues following long-term diabetes.

描述（由申请人提供）：糖尿病和衰老通常与心血管疾病的发病率和严重程度增加有关。然而，由于缺乏自主神经末梢和心脏组织内电路（脑-心连接）的结构信息，我们对这些功能障碍背后的神经机制的理解受到阻碍。迷走神经向心脏的投射源自感觉神经节（即结状神经节）和两个运动核，即迷走核（NA）和迷走神经背运动核（DmnX）。本申请的总体目标是确定由糖尿病、衰老或两者引起的心脏迷走神经控制的功能缺陷，并识别对心脏神经回路的损伤，特别是对心脏的迷走神经轴突投射的损伤。将在两种 1 型糖尿病小鼠模型（链脲佐菌素治疗的转基因 OVE 26 小鼠）中测量迷走神经对特定心脏功能的控制。将使用一系列技术对副交感神经系统内的迷走神经心脏轴突和末端、谷氨酸传输和氧活性物质 (ROS) 进行定性和定量检查，包括顺行神经追踪、体视计数、共聚焦显微镜、Neurolucida 数字化、多通道注射、双重免疫组织化学和细胞间 ROS 测量。这些解剖学发现将结合生理反应进行评估，以增强我们对结构功能关系的理解。目标 1 将评估与糖尿病相关的心脏压力反射和迷走神经控制的减弱，以及迷走神经投射到心脏和主动脉弓的相关结构变化，并检查糖尿病和衰老是否相互作用，从而对迷走神经造成更严重的功能和解剖损伤心脏轴突。目标 2 将研究糖尿病和与衰老相关的脑干内谷氨酸传输的变化。目标 3 将确定糖尿病和衰老小鼠副交感神经元中 ROS 的产生，并研究长期抗氧化治疗是否可以减少/预防心血管功能障碍和结构损伤。总的来说，所提出的实验将为重塑迷走神经流向心脏组织提供独特的见解。长期糖尿病。
