项目摘要

ABSTRACT: The role of mesolimbic opioid peptides in motivated behavior and reward-related decision making is unclear, despite extensive evidence indicating that these molecules are important mediators of hedonic and motivational aspects of reward processing, and the fundamental response to drugs of abuse. This is largely due to a critical gap in understanding when and where these molecules are released, because there is a paucity of detection methods for monitoring opioid peptides in the extracellular space. We have established the feasibility of using fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) and carbon- fiber microelectrodes in tissue for the detection of endogenous enkephalin (ENK) fluctuations in real time. The objective of this proposal is to optimize and fully characterize this methodology, so as to provide the community with an established tool that can be used to study the role of the ENKs in complex physiological processes ranging from basic endocrine function to motivation. The first goal is to fully characterize selectivity. We will assess incorporation of well-characterized Nafion composite membranes into the sensor design as a physical means to enhance selective detection. We will also investigate the electrochemistry of each of 20 natural amino acids individually, and use these data in a multivariate approach to identify individual amino acid contributors to the voltammetric signal when these residues are incorporated into longer amino acid chains. The second goal is to optimize sensitivity by systematically investigating electrochemical parameters (scan rates, holding potentials, and sampling frequencies), as well as promising nanoscale electrode materials. Finally, the third goal is to evaluate real-time ENK dynamics in rat adrenal and brain tissue, so as to provide insight into the normal concentration range, extracellular lifetime, and diffusion profile (sphere of influence) of the ENKs, as well as physiological and pharmacological conditions that can induce changes in peptidergic signaling. We will also directly compare the stimulation-response relationship for small molecule transmitters and ENK, using FSCV. This project is a critical step toward our long-term goal of elucidating how the release and clearance dynamics of several neuropeptides and small molecules underlie discrete aspects of motivated behavior. It will clarify outstanding questions regarding the fundamental nature of endogenous opioid peptide signaling, and enable FSCV to be used confidently to reveal critical mechanistic details that will inform evidence-based pharmacotherapies for treating a wide range of disorders, including substance abuse disorders.
抽象的: 中氧化脱皮阿片类肽在动机行为和与奖励相关的决策中的作用是 不清楚,尽管有大量证据表明这些分子是享乐的重要介体 奖励处理的动机方面以及对滥用药物的基本反应。这 很大程度上是由于了解这些分子何时何地释放何时何地造成了危险的差距, 因为缺乏用于监测细胞外阿片类肽的检测方法 空间。我们已经建立了使用快速扫描环状伏安法(FSCV)和碳 - 的可行性 组织中的纤维微电极实时检测内源性enkephalin(ENK)波动。 该建议的目的是优化和充分表征此方法,以提供 具有既定工具的社区,可用于研究ENK在复杂生理中的作用 从基本的内分泌功能到动机的过程。第一个目标是完全表征 选择性。我们将评估将良好的Nafion复合膜掺入中 传感器设计是增强选择性检测的物理手段。我们还将调查 单独的20种天然氨基酸的每种电化学,并在多变量中使用这些数据 当这些残基为时,识别伏安信号的单个氨基酸的方法 掺入更长的氨基酸链中。第二个目标是通过系统地优化灵敏度 研究电化学参数(扫描速率,保持电势和采样频率),AS 以及有希望的纳米级电极材料。最后,第三个目标是评估实时ENK 大鼠肾上腺和脑组织的动力学,以便深入了解正常浓度范围, ENK的细胞外寿命和扩散曲线(影响力)以及生理和生理和 可以诱导肽吉尼信号变化的药理条件。我们还将直接比较 使用FSCV,小分子发射器和ENK的刺激反应关系。这个项目是 朝着阐明释放和清除动态的长期目标迈出的重要一步 动机行为的离散方面是几个神经肽和小分子。会 澄清有关内源性阿片类肽信号的基本性质的杰出问题,以及 使FSCV自信地揭示了关键的机械细节,以示证明证据 用于治疗多种疾病的药物治疗,包括药物滥用障碍。
