项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The cascade of mechanisms that regulate the outgrowth of axons from olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and their precise targeting to specific glomeruli in the olfactory bulb remain controversial. While the odor receptors expressed by the OSNs are strongly implicated, there are conflicting reports pertaining to the functional transduction cascade downstream from the odor receptors. An absence of functional activity induced by naris closure, or deletion of a member of the transduction cascade, adenylyl cyclase 111, can have significant effects on the organization of OSN axons and their target glomeruli. However, perturbation of the cyclic nucleotide gated (CNG) channel that is the target of cAMP within the cascade results in little perturbation of axon outgrowth/targeting. Recent findings suggested that cAMP may contribute to OSN axon outgrowth, independent of CNG channel opening, by entering the nucleus and regulating gene expression. My goal is to explore an alternative hypothesis: that 1(h), the current generated by), contributes to OSN depolarization/ excitation and in the absence of the CNG channel can underlie axon outgrowth, coalescence, and formation of glomeruli. I propose a series of studies that will establish the spatio-temporal framework of HCN subunit expression, quantify developmental transients in subunit expression, directly test the effect of HCN on axon outgrowth and branching, and finally, explore how the absence of the HCN1 subunit affects OSN convergence and targeting. The data will have significant implications for developmental disorders such as Kallman's syndrome, and more generally for understanding developmental dynamics and cell-cell interactions during the initial development of sensory systems.

描述（由申请人提供）：调节嗅觉感觉神经元（OSN）轴突生长的机制级联及其在嗅球中对特定肾小球的精确靶向仍然有争议。尽管OSN表达的气味受体是强烈的，但与气味受体下游的功能转导级联有关的报道有冲突。 NARIS闭合引起的功能活性或转导级联的成员Adenylyl Cyclase 111的缺失会对OSN轴突的组织及其目标肾小球的组织产生重大影响。然而，是级联反应中CAMP的靶标的环状核苷酸门控（CNG）通道的扰动，几乎不会导致轴突出生/靶向的扰动。最近的发现表明，CAMP可能通过输入细胞核和调节基因表达来导致独立于CNG通道开放的OSN轴突出现。我的目标是探索一个替代假设：1（h），由产生的电流）有助于OSN去极化/激发，而在不存在CNG通道的情况下，可以构成轴突的生长，结合和肾小球的形成。我提出了一系列研究，该研究将建立HCN亚基表达的时空框架，量化亚基表达中的发育瞬变，直接测试HCN对轴突生长和分支的影响，最后探索HCN1亚基的缺失如何影响OSN的转化和靶向。数据将对诸如Kallman综合征等发育障碍具有重大影响，更普遍地是在感觉系统的初始发展期间了解发育动力学和细胞细胞相互作用。
