| — | MAYO CLINIC JACKSONVILLE (A NONPROFIT CORPORATION) | Department of Health and Human Services | $32,683,845 | BIOLOGY AND PATHOBIOLOGY OF APOE IN AGING AND ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE - PROJECT SUMMARY (APOE U19: OVERALL) THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THIS U19 PROJECT IS TO COMPREHENSIVELY UNDERSTAND THE BIOLOGY AND PATHOBIOLOGY OF APOLIPOPROTEIN E (APOE) IN AGING AND ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE (AD) TO INFORM THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES. THE E4 ALLELE OF THE APOE GENE (APOE4) IS THE STRONGEST GENETIC RISK FACTOR FOR AD IMPACTING 50-70% OF ALL AD PATIENTS, WHILE THE E2 ALLELE IS PROTECTIVE COMPARED TO THE COMMON E3 ALLELE. APOE4 IS ALSO A STRONG RISK FACTOR FOR AGE-RELATED COGNITIVE DECLINE AND VASCULAR COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT. TO INTEGRATE EXISTING KNOWLEDGE AND ADDRESS CRITICAL GAPS, WE PROPOSE A UNIFIED APOE CASCADE HYPOTHESIS THAT THE STRUCTURAL DIFFERENCES AND RELATED BIOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES AMONG THE THREE APOE ISOFORMS INITIATE THEIR DIFFERENTIAL EFFECTS ON A CASCADE OF EVENTS AT THE CELLULAR AND SYSTEMS LEVELS ULTIMATELY IMPACTING AGING-RELATED PATHOGENIC CONDITIONS INCLUDING AD. TOWARDS THIS, WE HAVE ASSEMBLED A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM TO SYNERGIZE EXPERTISE AND RESOURCES ACROSS MULTIPLE INSTITUTIONS. BY INTEGRATING FIVE INTERACTIVE PROJECTS AND SEVEN ROBUST CORES, WE WILL CREATE A NEXUS FOR APOE-RELATED AGING RESEARCH, SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE, EXPERTISE AND RESOURCES WITH THE BROADER SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. PROJECT 1 WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH CORE B TO ADDRESS THE STRUCTURAL AND BIOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE THREE APOE ISOFORMS TO GENERATE INSIGHTS FOR FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES. PROJECTS 2, 3 AND 4 WILL INTERACTIVELY STUDY HOW APOE ISOFORMS EXPRESSED IN ASTROCYTES, MICROGLIA, OR VASCULAR MURAL CELLS IMPACT LIPID METABOLISM, GLIAL AND VASCULAR FUNCTIONS, AD-RELATED PATHOLOGIES, AND CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR PATHWAYS USING CONDITIONAL MOUSE MODELS AND SYSTEMS- BASED APPROACHES. THESE STUDIES WILL GENERATE CELL TYPE-SPECIFIC APOE/LIPOPROTEIN PARTICLES THAT WILL BE COLLECTED THROUGH IN VIVO MICRODIALYSIS FOR STRUCTURAL AND BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES. PROJECT 5 WILL CARRY OUT GENOMIC AND GENETIC ANALYSES TO IDENTIFY MODIFIERS OF APOE-RELATED AGE AT ONSET OF AD. STUDIES IN PROJECTS 2-5 WILL BE INTERACTIVELY SUPPLEMENTED BY NEUROPATHOLOGICAL STUDIES USING POSTMORTEM BRAINS FROM HEALTHY AGING STUDIES OR WITH AD PATHOLOGIES (CORE C), BIOMARKER STUDIES USING BOTH HUMAN AND MOUSE BIOSPECIMENS (CORE D), AND FUNCTIONAL STUDIES USING HUMAN IPSC-DERIVED CELLULAR AND ORGANOID MODELS (CORE E). THIS U19 PROPOSAL IS SUPPORTED BY A COMPREHENSIVE MULTI-OMICS CORE (CORE F) FOR CENTRALIZED PROTEOMICS, LIPIDOMICS, AND METABOLOMICS STUDIES ON VARIOUS ANIMAL AND IPSC MODELS, AS WELL AS HUMAN POSTMORTEM BRAINS AND FLUID BIOSPECIMENS. THE BIOINFORMATICS, BIOSTATISTICS, AND DATA MANAGEMENT CORE (CORE G) WILL PROVIDE CRITICAL SUPPORTS FOR ANALYZING LARGE DATASETS INCLUDING THOSE FROM SINGLE-CELL RNA-SEQ AND BIOSTATISTICS SUPPORTS TO ENSURE SCIENTIFIC RIGOR. CORE G WILL ALSO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE CORE (CORE A) TO MAINTAIN AN APOE WEB PORTAL DESIGNATED AS EPAAD WHERE KNOWLEDGE, RESOURCES, AND DATA WILL BE SHARED WITH THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. CORE A WILL ALSO ORGANIZE ANNUAL APOE SYMPOSIUM TO PROMOTE COLLABORATION AND ENGAGE THE APOE COMMUNITY. AS SUCH, THIS U19 WILL DRIVE A TEAM-BASED EFFORT TO GENERATE ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE TO GUIDE DISEASE- MODIFYING THERAPIES FOR AD AND OTHER AGING-RELATED CONDITIONS. | biotech |

THE FOCUS IS ON THREE PRIORITY AREAS: PREVENTION, TREATMENT, AND RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES. THE STATEWIDE INITIATIVE TARGETS THE UNINSURED, UNDERINSURED, AND DIVERSE UNDERSERVED INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES, INCLUDING NATIVE AMERICANS, TRIBAL COMMUNITIES, PERSONS DISCHARGED FROM INCARCERATION, VETERANS, PREGNANT AND POST PARTEM WOMEN, AND TRANSITIONING YOUTH. WHILE METHAMPHETAMINE REMAINS THE GREATEST DRUG THREAT IN OKLAHOMA, WITH THE OKLAHOMA BUREAU OF NARCOTICS AND DANGEROUS DRUGS OBNDD REPORTING 729 METHAMPHETAMINE-RELATED FATAL OVERDOSES IN 2022, A 22% INCREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR, SYNTHETIC OPIOIDS AND FENTANYL-LACED COUNTERFEIT PRESCRIPTION PILLS HAVE SURGED, CONTRIBUTING TO 1,721 FATAL OVERDOSES IN 2022. THE NUMBER OF OVERDOSE DEATHS INVOLVING FENTANYL IN 2022 WAS NEARLY 16 TIMES HIGHER THAN IN 2018. THE OKLAHOMA SOS3 PROJECT WILL IMPLEMENT A COMPREHENSIVE CONTINUUM OF PREVENTION, HARM REDUCTION, TREATMENT, AND RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES, ADDRESSING CONCURRENT SUBSTANCE ABUSE DISORDERS. THE INITIATIVE AIMS TO INCREASE COMMUNITY KNOWLEDGE TO PREVENT OPIOID AND STIMULANT ABUSE WHILE ENHANCING ACCESS TO SERVICES. IT WILL EXPAND COMMUNITY OUTREACH THROUGH TRAINING AND LOCAL ACTION ON OPIOID AND STIMULANT MISUSE PREVENTION. ADDITIONALLY, THE PROGRAM SEEKS TO ENHANCE WORKFORCE KNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT FOR INDIVIDUALS AT RISK OR WITH OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD), THEIR FAMILIES, AND THE COMMUNITY THROUGH TRAINING, CONSULTATION, AND NALOXONE DISTRIBUTION. PROMOTING SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH FOR STUDENTS TO REDUCE DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR AND IMPROVE INSTRUCTIONAL TIME IS ANOTHER KEY FOCUS. THE INITIATIVE WILL ALSO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY REFERRAL NETWORKS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH OUD BY MOBILIZING REGIONAL RESOURCES AND INCREASING ACCESS TO A RANGE OF TREATMENTS FOR OUD AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS SUDS, INCLUDING FDA-APPROVED MEDICATIONS FOR OUD AND STIMULANT MISUSE. TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS, THE SOS PROGRAM WILL COLLABORATE CLOSELY WITH TREATMENT PROVIDERS AND INSTITUTIONS SERVING VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. THIS PARTNERSHIP AIMS TO EDUCATE AND EMPOWER AT RISK INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING OVERDOSE PREVENTION EDUCATION, FACILITATING TREATMENT REFERRALS, AND CONNECTING INDIVIDUALS WITH LOCAL SUPPORT NETWORKS. BY ALIGNING STATE AND GRANT FUNDING, ODMHSAS WILL MAXIMIZE RESOURCES, AVOID DUPLICATION OF EFFORTS, AND EXTEND SERVICES TO MORE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN NEED. | health |
