项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The molecular and cellular interactions that orchestrate the patterning of the vertebrate peripheral nervous system have yet to be fully elucidated. Upon delamination from the neural tube, trunk neural crest cells destined to form the vertebral chain of sympathetic ganglia migrate ventrally to the vicinity of the dorsal aorta where they aggregate and condense to form the primary chain of sympathetic ganglia composed of differentiated sympathetic neurons and precursor cells. Failure of the neural crest cells to properly migrate and differentiate may result in birth defects and lead to neuroblastoma, a pediatric tumor. of the peripheral nervous system that arises from sympatho-adrenal lineages of the neural crest. Unfortunately, the lack of information about normal development of the sympathetic nervous system and how mis-regulation of signals transform the normal neuroblast to neuroblastoma has severely limited early neuroblastoma detection and treatment, making this disease often fatal in infants. We propose to study sympathetic nervous system development and neuroblastoma pathogenesis using state- of-the-art in vivo imaging in living avian embryos. We discovered a novel role for TrkB signaling during sympathetic neurogenesis, which strikingly has recently been associated with aggressive neuroblastomas. We hypothesize that TrkB signals regulate the plasticity and invasive ability of the neural crest during sympathetic nervous system development at a critical time period when the early transformation from normal neuroblast to neuroblastoma occurs. To test this hypothesis we will determine the functional role of TrkB signaling in sympathetic nervous system development and develop a quail embryo model for neuroblastoma pathogenesis. Quail embryos allow transplantation and visualization of individual human neuroblastoma cell behaviors, a technique pioneered in our laboratory. We recently discovered that human neuroblastoma cells transplanted into the avian embryo follow host neural crest pathways and do not form tumors. The success of this proposal will have a direct impact on neural development and neuroblastoma cancer by providing: (i) critical information on the in vivo role of TrkB signaling during sympathetic neurogenesis and in the early transition from normal neuroblast to neuroblastoma; (ii) an in vivo model to rapidly assay the plasticity and invasiveness of neuroblastoma cells and response to potential inhibitors.

描述（由适用提供）：策划脊椎动物周围神经系统模式的分子和细胞相互作用尚未完全阐明。从神经元管分层后，躯干神经元的crest细胞注定形成交感神经的椎骨链，腹侧迁移到背主动脉的附近，它们聚集并凝结以形成由分化的交感神经元和前体细胞组成的交感神经链。神经主义细胞正确迁移和分化的失败可能导致先天缺陷，并导致神经母细胞瘤（一种小儿肿瘤）。由神经主义者的交感神经 - 肾上腺谱系引起的周围神经系统。不幸的是，缺乏有关交感神经系统正常发育的信息以及信号的正常状态如何将正常神经细胞转化为神经母细胞瘤，严重限制了早期神经母细胞瘤的检测和治疗，使婴儿经常致命。我们建议使用活体鸟类胚胎中最新的体内成像研究交感神经系统发育和神经母细胞瘤发病机理。我们在交感神经发生过程中发现了TRKB信号传导的新作用，最近与侵袭性神经母细胞瘤相关。我们假设TRKB信号调节了交感神经期间神经主义的可塑性和侵入性能力从正常神经母细胞到神经母细胞瘤的早期转化的关键时期的系统发展。为了检验该假设，我们将确定TRKB信号在交感神经系统发育中的功能作用，并为神经母细胞瘤发病机理开发鹌鹑胚胎模型。鹌鹑胚胎允许对单个人类神经细胞瘤细胞行为的移植和可视化，这是我们实验室中率取的一种技术。我们最近发现，移植到鸟类胚胎的人神经母细胞瘤细胞遵循宿主神经途径，不形成肿瘤。该提案的成功将直接影响神经元发育和神经母细胞瘤癌，（i）有关TRKB信号在交感神经发生过程中的体内作用以及从正常神经母细胞到神经细胞的早期过渡的关键信息；（ii）一种体内模型，旨在迅速主张神经母细胞瘤细胞的可塑性和侵入性以及对潜在抑制剂的反应。
