项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The present proposal is an extension of an ongoing 2-yr R21 (Watkins, P.I.) under the NIDA CEBRA program. Its aims are focused on developing a new therapy for pain. Controlling chronic pain in humans is a major unresolved problem. Recent data strongly suggest that spinal cord gila (astrocytes & microglia) are critically involved in the creation & maintenance of diverse enhanced pain states. Spinal cord gila create enhanced pain via the release of proinflammatory cytokines (PlCs): tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-1 (IL1) & interleukin-6 (IL6). Recognition of the key importance of spinal cord gila & glial PICs in pathological pain opens new avenues for pain control. There are various pharmacological means available to control glial dysregulation of pain. Interleukin-10 (IL10) is very promising from a clinical point of view.' IL10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine, which acts as an endogenous suppressor of proinflammatory cytokine production & activity. IL10 is an excellent candidate for preventing & reversing PIC-driven pathological pain states. However, two practical problems need to be overcome. First, control of chronic pain requires chronic delivery of IL10. Second, IL10 cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, thus negating systemic administration. To resolve these issues, we are exploring the feasibility of prolonged spinal release of Ll10 induced by gene therapy. Here, vectors encoding IL10 are injected into the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the spinal cord (intrathecal; IT), so as to mimic a clinically relevant route of delivery. Our preliminary data provide strong support that spinal gene therapy with IL10 will prevent & reverse enhanced pain states. The aims of the present proposal are straightforward: (1) To identify the optimal vectors from a limited number of candidates, in terms of their effectiveness in transcribing the gene of interest & reversing clinically relevant pain models; (2) To examine the mechanisms by which these optimal IL10-inducing vectors exert their effects in spinal cord; and (3) to examine potential short-comings of this approach. Together, these studies will test the premise that gene therapy with IL10 is worthy of clinical development for controlling diverse pathological pain states. This approach to pain control represents a dramatic departure from all other available therapies.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案是NIDA CEBRA计划下正在进行的2年R21（Watkins，P.I。）的延伸。它的目的是开发一种新的疼痛疗法。控制人类的慢性疼痛是一个主要无法解决的问题。最近的数据强烈表明，脊髓吉拉（星形胶质细胞和小胶质细胞）至关重要地参与了各种增强疼痛状态的创建和维持。脊髓吉拉通过释放促炎细胞因子（PLC）的疼痛增强了疼痛：肿瘤坏死因子（TNF），白介素-1（IL1）和白介素6（IL6）（IL6）。认识脊髓吉拉和神经胶质图片在病理疼痛中的关键重要性为疼痛控制开辟了新的途径。有多种药理方法可控制疼痛的神经胶质失调。从临床角度来看，白介素10（IL10）非常有前途。” IL10是一种抗炎细胞因子，它是促炎细胞因子产生和活性的内源性抑制剂。 IL10是预防和逆转图片驱动的病理疼痛状态的绝佳候选者。但是，需要克服两个实际问题。首先，控制慢性疼痛需要慢性递送IL10。其次，IL10不能越过血脑屏障，从而否定了全身性给药。为了解决这些问题，我们正在探索基因治疗引起的长时间脊柱释放的LL10的可行性。在这里，编码IL10的矢量被注入脊髓周围的脑脊液（鞘内； IT），以模仿临床上相关的输送途径。我们的初步数据提供了强有力的支持，即使用IL10的脊柱基因治疗将预防和反向增强的疼痛状态。本提案的目的是简单的：（1）从有限数量的候选人中确定最佳矢量，就其在转录感兴趣的基因和逆转临床相关的疼痛模型方面的有效性；（2）检查这些最佳IL10诱导矢量在脊髓中发挥作用的机制；（3）检查这种方法的潜在缩写。总之，这些研究将测试IL10基因治疗值得控制多种病理疼痛状态的前提。这种控制疼痛的方法代表了与所有其他可用疗法的巨大偏离。
