项目摘要

The Sigma-1 receptor (S1R) is a 26 kDa protein found in portions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of cells. In the central nervous system the highest levels of the S1R (CNS) are found in the postsynaptic portions of cholinergic postsynaptic densities (C-terminals) of spinal cord motoneurons. The primary objective of this proposal is to evaluate the role of SIR in regulating the excitability of motoneurons. We hypothesize that the S1R plays a direct role in regulating motoneuron excitability by activation of SK and/or Kv2.1 potassium channels in C-terminals, the effect of which is to increase the amplitude of the afterhyperpolarization potential (AHP) and thereby to reduce the frequency and duration of action potential firing. We hypothesize that activation of S1R can increase longevity of ALS mice by acting as a neuromodulatory "brake" on motoneuron hyperexcitability and thereby to decrease intracellular stress. We will accomplish the goals of this proposal through the following specific aims: Specific Aim 1: To determine whether S1R modulates motoneuron excitability (Electrophysiology) and influences the amplitude of electrical activity of the gastrocnemius muscle. (Motor activity). Specific Aim 2: To establish that activation of S1R can retard the progression of motoneuron degeneration in a mouse model of ALS (Pathology) by a) assessing survival of a new mouse model SOD1 ALS/S1R KO compared to the SOD1 ALS/S1R WT mice and b) assessing survival of the SOD1 ALS/S1R KO and the SOD1 ALS/S1R WT mice in the presence and absence of agonists of the S1R. Targeting S1R can potentially establish a new therapeutic treatment for ALS.

Sigma-1 受体 (S1R) 是一种 26 kDa 的蛋白质，存在于内质网 (ER) 的部分中细胞。在中枢神经系统中，突触后的 S1R (CNS) 水平最高脊髓运动神经元的胆碱能突触后密度（C 末端）的部分。初级该提案的目的是评估 SIR 在调节运动神经元兴奋性中的作用。我们假设 S1R 通过激活 SK 和/或在调节运动神经元兴奋性中发挥直接作用 Kv2.1 钾通道位于 C 末端，其作用是增加 Kv2.1 钾通道的振幅后超极化电位 (AHP)，从而减少动作电位的频率和持续时间射击。我们假设 S1R 的激活可以通过充当 ALS 小鼠的神经调节“制动”运动神经元过度兴奋，从而减少细胞内应激。我们将通过以下具体目标来实现本提案的目标：具体目标 1：确定 S1R 是否调节运动神经元兴奋性（电生理学）并影响运动神经元的振幅腓肠肌的电活动。（运动活动）。具体目标 2：建立激活 S1R 可以通过以下方式延缓 ALS（病理学）小鼠模型中运动神经元变性的进展：评估新小鼠模型 SOD1 ALS/S1R KO 与 SOD1 ALS/S1R WT 小鼠的存活率 b) 评估 SOD1 ALS/S1R KO 和 SOD1 ALS/S1R WT 小鼠在存在和缺乏 S1R 激动剂。针对 S1R 可能会建立一种新的治疗方法肌萎缩侧索硬化症。
