项目摘要

Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a serious health concern in the United States, with nearly one out of every 225 people suffering a brain injury each year. The frontal and temporal lobes are highly vulnerable to TBI and damage to these areas presents a myriad of cognitive and behavioral impairments including learning and memory dysfunction. Problems with memory can interfere with keeping a job, planning one's day-to-day activities, and living an independent life. Memory impairments from TBI can result from death and dysfunction of cells resident to the hippocampus (a structure that resides in the core of the temporal lobe) and other brain structures. Both clinical and experimental studies have shown that metabolic dysfunction and lack of energy production in the injured brain contribute to secondary injury, hinders repair and gives rise to poor outcome. Mitochondria are the “energy powerhouses” of cells and have been recently shown to be highly dynamic. They constantly combine (i.e. fusion) and divide (i.e. fission) based on the energy needs of the cell. Mitochondrial fusion is regulated by the mitochondrial GTPases optic atrophy1 (Opa1) and mitofusin (Mfn)1/2, while fission is primarily regulated by the cytosolic GTPase dynamin-related protein1 (Drp1). In healthy cells, these two processes exist in a dynamic equilibrium. Excessive mitochondrial fission caused by aberrant Drp1 activity diminishes the ability of mitochondria to produce sufficient energy and has been implicated in cell death, dysfunction and neurodegeneration. The proposed research aims to investigate if altered mitochondrial dynamics plays a causal role in the neuronal pathology and poor outcome after TBI. We hypothesize that TBI increases mitochondrial fission for a discrete time widow following injury and that attenuating fission during this period will enhance mitochondrial function, decrease neuronal damage and improve cognitive function. Three Specific Aims have been proposed: Aim 1. To determine the time course for changes in mitochondrial dynamics and function following TBI in male and female mice. Aim 2. To determine cell-specific changes in mitochondrial morphology after TBI. Aim 3. Investigate if decreasing mitochondrial fission following TBI reduces neuronal loss and improves memory function. By investigating pathological changes in mitochondrial dynamics and function, these studies will provide an innovative perspective on mechanisms of metabolic dysfunction that occurs both in experimental TBI and human patients, and may lead to novel mitochondrial- targeted therapeutic approaches to improve patient outcome.

抽象的在美国，创伤性脑损伤（TBI）仍然是一个严重的健康问题每年有225人脑部受伤。额叶和临时的爱非常容易受到TBI的影响对这些领域的损害表现出无数的认知和行为障碍，包括学习和内存功能障碍。记忆问题可能会干扰保留工作，计划日常工作活动，并过独立的生活。 TBI的记忆障碍可能导致死亡和功能障碍海马居民的细胞（临时叶核心居民的结构）和其他大脑结构。临床和实验研究都表明，代谢功能障碍和能量缺乏受伤的大脑的产生导致继发性损伤，阻碍修复并导致不良结果。线粒体是细胞的“能量动力”，最近已被证明是高度动态的。他们根据细胞的能量需求，不断结合（即融合）和分裂（即裂变）。线粒体融合受线粒体GTPases Optic Atrophophy1（OPA1）和丝曲表示（MFN）1/2调节，而裂变为在健康细胞中，这两个过程存在于动态等效物中。异常DRP1活性引起的线粒体裂变过多降低线粒体产生足够能量的能力，并在细胞死亡中隐含功能障碍和神经变性。拟议的研究旨在调查线粒体是否改变动力学在TBI后神经元病理学和不良预后起因果作用。我们假设TBI 在受伤后增加线粒体裂变的离散时间寡妇，并在此期间减弱裂变周期将增强线粒体功能，减少神经元损伤并改善认知功能。三已经提出了具体目标：目标1。确定线粒体动力学变化的时间过程雄性和雌性小鼠TBI后的功能。目标2。确定细胞特异性变化 TBI之后的线粒体形态。目标3。调查是否在TBI后减少线粒体裂变减少神经元损失并改善记忆功能。通过研究线粒体的病理变化动态和功能，这些研究将为代谢机制提供创新的观点在实验性TBI和人类患者中既发生功能障碍，又可能导致新的线粒体 - 有针对性的治疗方法改善患者结局。
