项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Sleep is critical to health and well-being, such that current trends towards reduced sleep time and quality, coupled with rising diagnoses of sleep disorders, negatively affect multiple physiological systems. Increasing clinical evidence indicates that sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) contribute to chronic pain, with over 40% of sleep disordered patients reporting chronic pain conditions. However, there is a gap in knowledge concerning how disorders such as intermittent hypoxia contribute to persistent pain. Our long-term goal is to reduce persistent pain in patients experiencing sleep disorders. As we work towards this goal, the overall objective of this application is to define the mechanism by which intermittent hypoxia contributes to the transition from acute-to-chronic pain. Our central hypothesis is that hypoxia from sleep disorders produces neuroimmune hyperalgesic priming via peripheral macrophage up-regulation. We propose that chronic intermittent hypoxia stimulates macrophage polarization to increase inflammatory cytokine production in peripheral nociceptive tissues. Our hypothesis is based on strong evidence utilizing an innovative rodent model for chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) that mimics OSA. The rationale for this work is that increasing our mechanistic understanding of how intermittent hypoxia contributes to persistent pain could improve quality of life for tens of millions of American that suffer from sleep disorders. To accomplish our objective, we will test our central hypothesis with the following related, yet interdependent aims: (1) Identify the location of neuroimmune interaction, (2) Interrogate the distribution and role of M1/M2 macrophage polarization, and (3) Examine hypoxic activation of peripheral macrophages. We propose a multi-disciplinary approach to testing our hypothesis, utilizing transgenic and Cre-Lox recombination mice in biochemical, pharmacological, in vivo imaging and behavioral protocols with FACS cell sorting and RNA profiling in tandem. Our CIH treatment paradigm is highly innovative for its translational relevance to human OSA, as is our molecular and biochemical profiling of resident and infiltrating macrophage populations in hyperalgesic priming. The proposed research is significant because it will identify novel mechanisms by which sleeping disorders contribute to persistent pain.

项目摘要睡眠对健康和福祉至关重要，因此目前朝着降低睡眠时间和质量的趋势，加上睡眠障碍的诊断诊断，对多种生理系统产生负面影响。增加临床证据表明，诸如阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）等睡眠障碍导致慢性疼痛，超过40％的睡眠失调患者报告了慢性疼痛状况。但是，存在差距关于诸如间歇性缺氧等疾病如何导致持续疼痛的知识。我们的长期目标是减轻患有睡眠障碍的患者的持续疼痛。当我们朝着这个目标努力时，该应用的总体目的是定义间歇性缺氧有助于该机制从急性到血清疼痛的过渡。我们的中心假设是睡眠障碍的缺氧会产生神经免疫性高温正气通过外周巨噬细胞上调。我们提出了慢性间歇性低氧刺激巨噬细胞极化，以增加炎症性细胞因子的产生外周伤害组织。我们的假设基于使用创新啮齿动物模型的有力证据对于模仿OSA的慢性间歇性缺氧（CIH）。这项工作的理由是增加我们的对间歇性缺氧如何导致持续疼痛的机械理解可以改善生活质量对于患有睡眠障碍的美国人数千万美国人。为了实现我们的目标，我们将测试我们的中央假设具有以下相关但相互依存的目的：（1）确定神经免疫的位置相互作用，（2）询问M1/M2巨噬细胞极化的分布和作用，（3）检查低氧周围巨噬细胞的激活。我们提出了一种多学科的方法来检验我们的假设，利用生化，药理学，体内成像的转基因和Cre-lox重组小鼠带有FACS细胞分选和RNA分析的行为方案。我们的CIH治疗范式高度高与人类OSA的转化相关性，我们的分子和生化分析也是如此和渗透性巨噬细胞中的巨噬细胞中的巨噬细胞。拟议的研究很重要，因为它将确定睡眠障碍导致持续疼痛的新型机制。
