项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In men and male rhesus macaques testosterone (T) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA, an adrenal androgen precursor) show characteristic 24-hour patterns in the circulation, and both show significant age-related decreases. Although the exact physiological consequence of these hormonal changes is unclear, both T and DHEA are thought to act as intracrine substrates for estradiol (E2) synthesis in the brain. Therefore, it is plausible that their age-related decline negatively impacts brain function, either directly through androgen receptors and/or indirectly through estrogen receptors. Using the rhesus macaque as a translational animal model, we propose to test the hypothesis that age-related attenuation of circulating T and DHEA levels negatively impacts centrally-mediated physiological processes, including the circadian sleep-wake cycle and cognition. Moreover, we predict that physiological testosterone supplementation, designed to mimic the circulating 24-hour T pattern of young animals, will ameliorate these age-associated disorders. Specific Aim 1 will use a battery of cognitive tests to assess differences between young and old male rhesus macaques, and between old animals receiving extended treatment with "young" physiological levels of T or placebo. Cognitive assessments will include: 1) the delayed response test of spatial working memory, which is particularly sensitive to aging and prefrontal cortex dysfunction; 2) delayed non-matching-to-sample, a task probing primarily temporal lobe-based memory; 3) a visuospatial cueing test of visual attention that is estrogen-sensitive, and 4) performance in a novel maze to assess spatial learning and memory. In addition, sleep-wake cycles will be continuously monitored using Actiwatches, while morphological and biochemical differences will be examined in targeted brain areas by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Specific Aim 2 will use a series of biochemical and histochemical methodologies to elucidate the plasticity that occurs within the central nervous system (CNS) during male aging and after supplementation with T. Rhesus-specific gene microarrays and quantitative real-time PCR will be used to identify genes that are differentially expressed in the CNS among young males, untreated old and the T-treated old males. This integrative systems approach should help to identify plasticity in neurotransmitter systems and synapses and shed light on potential regulatory mechanisms. In situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, enzymology, and hormone measurements will be used to further corroborate the results. Our current NIH grant (AG-029612) similarly examines the interacting impact of ovarian-adrenal interactions in perimenopausal female rhesus macaques. Consequently, data from the ongoing female study, combined with data from the proposed male study, will disclose important gender-based differences and help to elucidate their underlying mechanisms.
描述(由申请人提供):在男性和男性恒河猕猴睾丸激素(T)和脱氢雌激素(DHEA,肾上腺雄激素前体)中显示出循环中的24小时模式,并且都显示出与年龄相关的显着降低。尽管这些激素变化的确切生理后果尚不清楚,但T和DHEA都被认为是脑甲二醇(E2)合成的内部底物。因此,与年龄相关的下降会对脑功能产生负面影响,直接通过雄激素受体和/或通过雌激素受体间接影响脑功能是合理的。我们提出,使用恒河猴作为转化动物模型,我们建议检验以下假设:与年龄相关的循环T和DHEA水平相关的衰减对中央介导的生理过程产生了负面影响,包括昼夜节律的睡眠效果周期和认知。此外,我们预测,旨在模仿年轻动物的24小时T模式的生理睾丸激素补充剂将改善这些相关疾病。 具体目标1将使用一系列认知测试来评估年轻男性恒河猕猴之间的差异,以及在接受“年轻”生理水平的T或安慰剂水平进行扩展治疗的老动物之间。认知评估将包括:1)空间工作记忆的延迟响应测试,这对衰老和前额叶皮层功能障碍特别敏感; 2)延迟非匹配样本,一个任务探测主要是基于时间叶的内存; 3)对雌激素敏感的视觉注意力的视觉空间提示测试,以及4)在新型迷宫中的表现,以评估空间学习和记忆。此外,将使用Actiwatches连续监测睡眠效果周期,而磁共振成像(MRI)将在靶向大脑区域中检查形态和生化差异。 具体目标2将使用一系列的生化和组织化学方法来阐明男性衰老期间中枢神经系统(CNS)内发生的可塑性,并在补充了T.恒河猴特异性基因微阵列和定量实时PCR后,将使用鉴定在MALES中的CNS中差异化的基因,并鉴定出旧的Males中的旧基因。这种综合系统方法应有助于确定神经递质系统和突触中的可塑性,并阐明潜在的调节机制。原位杂交,免疫组织化学,酶学和激素测量将用于进一步证实结果。 我们当前的NIH赠款(AG-029612)同样研究了卵巢肾上腺相互作用在末期雌性恒河猕猴中的相互作用。因此,正在进行的女性研究中的数据与拟议的男性研究的数据相结合,将披露重要的基于性别的差异,并有助于阐明其潜在机制。
