项目摘要

Project Summary In the previous cycle we characterized the ability of certain benzodiazepines, in cooperation with decreased extracellular pH, to regulate airway smooth muscle (ASM) signaling and function via activation of the proton- sensing G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) OGR1 (Ovarian cancer G-protein coupled receptor 1 aka GPR68). Importantly, we discovered that the multiple signaling pathways activated downstream of OGR1 could be selectively activated (i.e., biased) to produce differential effects on ASM contraction and proliferation. In this second cycle we propose to: 1) delineate the mechanisms by which the biasing of OGR1 signaling occurs; 2) detail an additional, mitochondrial-dependent effector arm of benzodiazepines that also inhibits ASM contraction; and 3) employ modeling to develop more efficacious benzodiazepine-like drugs that target these mechanisms. These goals will be achieved through 3 Specific Aims. In Aim 1 we will employ cell-based and integrative models of ASM contraction to clarify the how different benzodiazepines promote specific OGR1- and peripheral benzodiazepine receptor- signaling to regulate ASM contraction. In Aim 2 will establish the mechanistic basis of biased OGR1 signaling by assessing structure-function properties of OGR1 that dictate G protein coupling, and the biasing function of arrestins. In Aim 3 in collaboration with Core A we will employ molecular modeling to design new allosteric modulators to bias OGR1 signaling towards Gs/cAMP/PKA pathway activation and the associated therapeutic benefits, using the signaling and functional assays employed in Aims 1 and 2 to guide development and identify the most efficacious drugs. By establishing mechanisms mediating qualitative signaling by OGR1 and developing new agents that optimally bias OGR1 and promote bronchodilation, we will significantly advance the fields of both receptor biology and asthma therapeutics.

项目摘要在上一个周期中，我们表征了某些苯二氮卓类药物的能力，并与细胞外pH，以通过激活质子激活来调节气道平滑肌（ASM）信号传导和功能感测G蛋白偶联受体（GPCR）OGR1（卵巢癌G蛋白偶联受体1又名GPR68）。重要的是，我们发现OGR1下游激活的多个信号通路可能是有选择地激活（即偏见），对ASM收缩和增殖产生不同的影响。在这个我们建议的第二个循环：1）描绘出发生OGR1信号传导偏置的机制； 2）详细介绍苯二氮卓类药物的其他依赖线粒体依赖性效应臂，该臂也抑制ASM收缩； 3）采用建模来开发针对这些机制的更有效的苯二氮卓类药物。这些目标将通过3个特定目标实现。在AIM 1中，我们将采用基于细胞的集成模型 ASM收缩的和阐明不同的苯二氮卓类药物如何促进特定的OGR1和外围苯二氮卓受体信号传导以调节ASM收缩。在AIM 2中将建立机械基础通过评估OGR1的结构函数功能来决定G蛋白偶联的偏见OGR1信号传导，并逮捕蛋白的偏见功能。在与核心A合作的AIM 3中，我们将采用分子建模到将新的变构调节器设计为偏向OGR1信号传导向GS/CAMP/PKA途径激活和相关的治疗益处，使用目标1和2中使用的信号传导和功能测定开发并确定最有效的药物。通过建立介导定性的机制 OGR1的信号传导并开发出最佳偏向OGR1并促进支气管扩张的新代理，我们将显着推进受体生物学和哮喘治疗剂的领域。
