项目摘要

Project Summary Olfactory Receptors (ORs) comprise the largest gene family in the genome, and ORs serve key functions in a variety of tissues beyond the nose. We have identified an evolutionarily conserved OR, Olfr558, which localizes to vascular smooth muscle cells and plays a role in blood pressure regulation. It is well-established, in both humans and in animal models, that normotensive premenopausal females have lower blood pressure than normotensive males by approximately ~10mmHg. In contrast, blood pressure is similar in postmenopausal females and males, due to an increase in female blood pressure with aging. We find that sex differences in blood pressure are absent in Olfr558 knockout (KO) mice, and, that wild-type (WT) but not KO females increase blood pressure with aging. In this proposal, we will explore the role of Olfr558 in mediating changes in blood pressure in aging. In Aim 1, we will compare blood pressure by telemetry between WT and KO mice which are young (4-7 months, male and female), aged (18-22 months, male and female), or young (4-7 months) females in whom menopause has been chemically induced via VCD (4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide). In Aim 2, we will use tissues from these same mice to assay how renin (Aim 2a) and vascular reactivity (Aim 2b) are altered in WT vs KO in these various groups. These studies will uncover the role of a well-conserved OR in the cardiovascular physiology of aging, and in so doing will reveal novel insights into sex differences, blood pressure regulation, aging, and menopause.

项目摘要嗅觉受体（ORS）包括基因组中最大的基因家族，ORS提供关键在鼻子以外的各种组织中起作用。我们已经确定了一个进化保守的或OLFR558，该OLFR558位于血管平滑肌细胞并在血压中起作用规定。在人类和动物模型中，它都是良好的绝经前女性的血压低于正常人的血压〜10mmhg。相比之下，绝经后女性和男性的血压相似随着衰老的衰老，女性血压的增加。我们发现血压的性别差异在OLFR558敲除（KO）小鼠中不存在，野生型（WT）但不增加KO女性血压随衰老。在此提案中，我们将探讨OLFR558在调解中的作用衰老中血压的变化。在AIM 1中，我们将通过遥测比较血压在年轻（4-7个月，男性和女性）的WT和KO小鼠之间（18-22岁）月份，男性和女性）或更年期的年轻女性（4-7个月）通过VCD（4-乙烯基环己烯二氧化物）化学诱导。在AIM 2中，我们将使用来自这些相同的小鼠用于测定肾素（AIM 2A）和血管反应性（AIM 2B）如何改变与KO中的这些各组中的KO。这些研究将揭示保存良好或在衰老的心血管生理学以及这样做将揭示性别的新见解差异，血压调节，衰老和更年期。
