项目摘要
ABSTRACT
Optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is a very common congenital optic nerve (ON) disorder and is the leading cause
of childhood blindness in developed nations. ONH incidence has increased ~8-fold over the last two decades.
ONH is characterized by a thin, underdeveloped ON that often results from secondary loss of retinal ganglion
cells (RGCs). The most common prenatal determinants of ONH are a young primiparous mother, an unhealthy
maternal lifestyle including alcohol abuse, and nutritional deprivation. We have developed and published murine
models of ONH by manipulating the X-linked gene CASK, since CASK mutations in humans are associated with
ONH. The ONH pathology of CASK mutant mice recapitulates human ONH, including the timing of pathology
onset (after RGC development; i.e., secondary loss) and the non-progressive nature of the pathology.
Biochemical experiments show that CASK interacts with metabolic proteins and modulates mitochondrial
function. CASK deficiency leads to increased fatty acid oxidation and a deficit of the ω-6 fatty acid arachidonic
acid (ARA) in the central nervous system (CNS). ARA deficiency is also observed in other conditions associated
with ONH. We hypothesize that ONH results from an early ARA deficit, thus ONH can be exacerbated by
perturbing brain ARA metabolism (via astrocyte dysfunction) and ameliorated by dietary ARA
supplementation. During the third trimester, ARA is exclusively obtained from the mother; in neonates, brain
ARA is also obtained from the diet until adequate enzymatic activity (conversion of the essential fatty acid linoleic
acid into ARA) is reached. This post-neonatal shift in ARA acquisition from diet to synthesis may contribute to
ONH’s non-progressive nature. In the CNS, fatty acid metabolism (including ARA uptake and production) occurs
predominantly in astrocytes. In this proposal we plan to test our hypothesis in two independent ONH mouse
models: 1) CASK(+/-) heterozygous knockout mice, and 2) a previously published fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS)
mouse model. With these models, we will examine mitochondrial metabolism, oxidative damage and fatty acid
metabolic defects in the retina, ON and brain. We will also quantify levels of two ω-fatty acids (docosahexaenoic
acid and ARA), as well as phospholipids in the ON of both types of ONH mice. Next, we will genetically disrupt
the function of astrocytes (crucial for brain ARA metabolism) in a CASK hypomorph ONH model by complete
deletion of CASK in astrocytes. We will investigate if this manipulation exacerbates the metabolic defect and
ONH as assessed both morphologically and functionally, using a visual behavioral assay and an innovative
electrophysiological tool called Network Response to Visual Excitation (NeRVE). Finally, we will test if ARA
supplementation ameliorates ONH in the two models described above. Our study is likely to identify ARA
deficiency as the final common pathway that explains ONH’s association with nutritional deprivation, maternal
diabetes, infantile cholestasis and FAS. Positive results from ARA supplementation will be readily translatable.
抽象的
视神经性发育不全(ONH)是一种非常常见的先天性视神经(ON)疾病,是主要原因
发达国家的儿童失明。在过去的二十年中,ONH的发病率增加了约8倍。
ONH的特征是薄而欠发达的特征,通常是由于残留神经节的继发性丧失而导致的
细胞(RGC)。 ONH最常见的产前决定者是一个年轻的初次母亲,不健康
孕产妇的生活方式,包括酗酒和营养剥夺。我们已经开发和出版了鼠
通过操纵X连锁基因桶的ONH模型,因为人类的桶突变与
onh。木桶突变小鼠的ONH病理学概括了人类ONH,包括病理的时机
发作(RGC发育后;即继发损失)和病理的非促进性。
生化实验表明,木桶与代谢蛋白相互作用并调节线粒体
功能。木桶缺乏会导致脂肪酸氧化增加和ω-6脂肪酸蛛网膜化的缺陷
中枢神经系统(CNS)中的酸(ARA)。在其他相关条件下也观察到ARA缺乏症
与Onh。我们假设ONH是由早期的ARA防御引起的,因此可以通过
扰动脑ARA代谢(通过星形胶质细胞功能障碍),并通过饮食ARA改善
补充。在三个月中,ARA专门从母亲那里获得。在新生儿,大脑
还可以从饮食中获得ARA,直到足够的酶促活性(必需脂肪酸亚油酸的转化
到达酸到ara)。从饮食到合成的ARA获取后,这种昆虫后转变可能有助于
Onh的非促进性质。在中枢神经系统中,发生脂肪酸代谢(包括ARA摄取和生产)

模型:1)桶(+/-)杂合敲除小鼠,以及2)先前出版的胎儿酒精综合征(FAS)
鼠标模型。使用这些模型,我们将检查线粒体代谢,氧化损伤和脂肪酸
视网膜,大脑和大脑中的代谢缺陷。我们还将量化两种ω-脂肪酸的水平(docosahexaenoic)
