项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary/Abstract RNA modifications are numerous, and range from simple methylation to complex changes such as addition of aminoacylcarbamoyl moieties. These modifications and, the levels at which are present, are emerging as important regulators of biological processes, and perturbations such as chemical or drug exposure can alter the patterns of specific modifications on RNA sub-types. Moreover, given their variety, specificity and their relationship to function and structure stability, RNA modifications are potentially valuable biomarkers of disease and treatment progression, especially given that modified nucleosides are relatively stable even after RNA degradation, and can be released from cells into bodily fluids. The long term objective of this study is to facilitae research into RNA modifications and their impact on health and disease. The immediate hurdle, and the goal of this application, is to develop extremely sensitive analytical methods for detection and quantification of common and novel RNA modifications that can be readily disseminated to the RNA research community. The test case biological system is based on human induced pluripotent stem cell derived nervous system cells that will be exposed to two different drugs of abuse, nicotine and cannabinoids. Aim 1. We will use RNA modified nucleoside standards to develop highly sensitive and robust method of analysis. The ultimate tool we will be developing is a product resultant from the combination of two technologies, UHPLC and MS that will be optimized for high resolution separation and highly sensitive detection of RNA modifications. The tools developed will be tested on differentiated anterior cerebral cortex neurons and glia cells and RNA modifications will be characterized and abundances quantified during the different stages of maturation. Aim 2. Tools developed during aim 1 will be further adapted to detect specific RNA modifications that may be playing a significant role on differentiated forebrain cells, as a result from treatment with drug of abuse. During this aim we will specifically study forebrain cells that will be exposed to different nicotie and cannabinoids concentrations and compared to vehicle controls. The results of the methods we are proposing will be in the form of highly sensitive and accurate tools for the analysis of a wide range of chemistries and abundances of RNA modifications present in regulatory RNAs. The ultimately goal is to develop highly sensitive RNA modifications-based biomarkers discovery tools that requires minimal level of technical expertise as a way to disseminate and accelerate the field of RNA modifications with regards to gain further insight into mechanisms of disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：项目摘要/摘要RNA修改很多，范围从简单的甲基化到复杂的变化，例如添加氨基甲基甲酰胺部分。这些修饰和存在的水平是作为生物过程的重要调节剂出现的，化学或药物暴露等扰动可以改变对RNA子类型的特定修饰模式。此外，鉴于它们的多样性，特异性及其与功能和结构稳定性的关系，RNA修饰是疾病和治疗进展的潜在有价值的生物标志物，尤其是考虑到即使在RNA降解后修饰的核苷也相对稳定，并且可以从细胞中释放到体液中。这项研究的长期目的是对RNA修饰及其对健康和疾病的影响的对联体研究。该应用程序的直接障碍和目的是开发极灵敏的分析方法，以检测和量化常见和新型RNA修饰，这些方法可以很容易地将其传播到RNA研究界。测试案例生物系统基于人类诱导的多能干细胞衍生的神经系统细胞，该细胞将暴露于两种不同的滥用药物，尼古丁和大麻素。 AIM 1。我们将使用RNA修饰的核苷标准标准来开发高度敏感和健壮的分析方法。我们将要开发的最终工具是两种技术，即UHPLC和MS的组合产生的产品，这些技术将通过高分辨率分离和对RNA修饰的高度敏感检测进行优化。开发的工具将在分化的前大脑皮层神经元和神经胶质细胞上进行测试，RNA修饰将被表征，并在不同成熟阶段进行量化。 AIM 2。在AIM 1期间开发的工具将进一步调整，以检测特定的RNA修饰，这可能是由于用滥用药物治疗而导致的分化前脑细胞发挥重要作用的。在此目标中，我们将专门研究将暴露于不同的尼古丁和大麻素浓度并与媒介物对照相比的前脑细胞。我们提出的方法的结果将以高度敏感和准确的工具的形式进行分析，以分析调节RNA中存在的多种化学物质和丰富的RNA修饰。最终的目标是开发基于高度敏感的RNA修饰的生物标志物发现工具，该工具需要最低水平的技术专业知识，作为一种传播和加速RNA修饰领域的方式，并通过有关疾病机制的进一步了解。
