项目摘要

ABSTRACT Renal denervation lowers arterial blood pressure in multiple clinical trials and experimental animal models of hypertension. These anti-hypertensive effects have been partly attributed to the removal of renal sensory nerves as selective denervation of renal sensory nerves lowers arterial blood pressure to the same extent as total renal denervation. Despite our current knowledge of renal nerves, there is a severe lack of anatomical, functional, and mechanistic knowledge about the specific sensory fiber-types responsible for cardiovascular control. Renal sensory nerves detect mechanical and chemical stimuli within the kidneys and consequently alter sodium reabsorption, renin secretion, and sympathetic outflow. These responses are dependent on mechano- and chemo- sensitive nerve fibers which have not been clearly defined. Our preliminary data using single-cell transcriptomics on renal sensory neurons demonstrates the existence of two distinct populations: the mechanosensitive channel Piezo2 and chemosensitive channel TRPV1. The overall hypothesis of this proposal is that neurochemically distinct populations of renal sensory neurons expressing Piezo2 and TRPV1 mediate mechano- and chemo-sensitive responses in the kidney. The neurochemical profile of these neurons switches in renal stenosis from a loss of Piezo2-mechanosensitive fibers to robust expression and increased sensitivity of TRPV1-chemosensitive fibers to elevated sympathetic outflow and arterial blood pressure. Aim 1 will employ in vivo single-unit recordings, single-cell transcriptomics (>40 sensory genes), and optogenetics to determine the extent by which Piezo2 and TRPV1-expressing neurons represent mechano- and chemo- sensitive renal sensory nerve populations. Aim 2 will determine how hypertension produced by renal stenosis alters the mechano- versus chemosensitivity of renal afferents, the neurochemical profile of sensory neurons, and the sensory innervation of the kidney. Aim 3 will directly assess the contribution of Piezo2 versus TRPV1 renal sensory fibers and channels to renal sensory function and renovascular hypertension. This proposal will define, for the first time, the neurochemical and functional phenotype of renal sensory nerve populations involved in the control of arterial blood pressure, anatomically map innervation sites in the kidney, and functionally test distinct renal afferent fibers populations and channels in vivo that have a pathological role of hypertension.

抽象的多项临床试验和实验动物中去肾神经术可降低动脉血压高血压模型。这些抗高血压作用部分归因于去除肾感觉神经，因为肾感觉神经的选择性去神经可降低动脉血流量血压与完全肾去神经支配的程度相同。尽管我们目前的知识肾神经，严重缺乏关于肾神经的解剖学、功能和机制知识负责心血管控制的特定感觉纤维类型。肾感觉神经检测肾脏内的机械和化学刺激，从而改变钠重吸收、肾素分泌和交感神经流出。这些响应取决于尚未明确定义的机械敏感神经纤维和化学敏感神经纤维。我们的初步使用单细胞转录组学对肾感觉神经元进行的数据证明存在两个不同的群体：机械敏感通道 Piezo2 和化学敏感通道 TRPV1。该提案的总体假设是神经化学上不同的群体表达 Piezo2 和 TRPV1 的肾感觉神经元介导机械和化学敏感性肾脏的反应。这些神经元的神经化学特征在肾狭窄时发生变化从 Piezo2 机械敏感纤维的损失到稳健的表达和增加的敏感性 TRPV1 化学敏感纤维可增加交感神经流出和动脉血压。目标1 将采用体内单单元记录、单细胞转录组学（> 40 个感觉基因），以及光遗传学确定 Piezo2 和 TRPV1 表达神经元代表的程度机械和化学敏感的肾感觉神经群体。目标 2 将决定如何肾狭窄产生的高血压改变了肾的机械敏感性与化疗敏感性传入神经、感觉神经元的神经化学特征以及感觉神经支配肾。目标 3 将直接评估 Piezo2 与 TRPV1 肾感觉纤维的贡献以及肾感觉功能和肾血管性高血压的通道。该提案将定义，首次研究了肾感觉神经群的神经化学和功能表型参与动脉血压的控制，解剖学上绘制肾脏的神经支配部位，并在体内对不同的肾传入纤维群和通道进行功能测试，这些纤维具有高血压的病理作用。
