项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are characterized by disrupted development of the brain, and clinically they lead to impaired neurological function. NDDs account for ~25% of chronic pediatric disease, are incurable and result in lifelong impairments. Molecular studies have improved our understanding of NDDs, but still large gaps in knowledge exist. Conventional research tools like the mouse model does not often adequately model these conditions. Human brain organoids (hBOs) from patient-derived iPSCs can capture many characteristics and biological events in the developing brain. However, we still do not know how well human NDDs can be modeled in hBOs. Here, I propose to investigate the range of genotype-phenotype correlations observable in hBOs from a unique patient derived iPSC library of 750 independent lines to test four hypotheses: 1] NDD- derived hBOs are both sensitive and specific detectors of the underlying clinical brain pathology. 2] NDD-derived hBOs show both cellular and molecular hallmarks revealing the stages of disrupted brain development. 3] Omics approaches applied to these in-vitro derived hBOs can reveal underlying mechanisms of disrupted development. 4] Gene-environment interactions can be interrogated in hBOs. The training phase of the award, conducted in Dr. Gleeson’s lab at UCSD, outlines a comprehensive plan for acquisition of technical and professional skills that will enable my transition to an independent research position. The successful completion of this project will provide a platform for future experiments aimed to combine my expertise in stem cell fate decision to gain a deeper understanding of how does these transcriptional, epigenetic and structural specificities contribute to neurodevelopmental brain disorders.

项目摘要/摘要神经发育障碍（NDDS）的特征是大脑的发展中断，临床它们导致神经功能受损。 NDDS占慢性小儿疾病的约25％，无法治愈并导致终身障碍。分子研究改善了我们对NDD的理解，但仍然很大知识差距存在。传统的研究工具（例如鼠标模型）经常无法充分建模这些条件。来自患者衍生的IPSC的人脑器官（HBO）可以捕获许多特征和发育中的大脑中的生物事件。但是，我们仍然不知道人类NDD的状况如何以HBO建模。在这里，我建议研究可观察到的基因型 - 表型相关性的范围来自独特患者的iPSC库的HBO具有750个独立线的iPSC库来检验四个假设：1] ndd- 衍生的HBO既是基础临床脑病理学的敏感和特定检测器。 2] NDD衍生 HBO显示出细胞和分子标志，揭示了脑发育中断的阶段。 3] 适用于这些维特罗衍生的HBO的OMICS方法可以揭示破坏的发展。 4]基因环境相互作用可以在HBO中进行询问。该奖项的培训阶段是在加州大学UCSD的Gleeson实验室进行的，概述了一个全面的计划获取技术和专业技能，这将使我能够过渡到独立研究位置。该项目的成功完成将为以后的实验提供一个平台，以将我的专业知识结合在干细胞命运的决定中，以更深入地了解这些转录，表观遗传和结构规格有助于神经发育脑部疾病。
