本實驗室以疾病動物模式進行精神生物醫學與藥物學結合的轉譯醫學研究,主要研究方向如下:

一、憂慮症

憂鬱症是造成社會經濟負擔的精神疾患。雖已有百憂解等臨床藥物,但仍有30%以上的病患處於對憂鬱藥物治療無效的情況。這類對抗憂鬱藥物有阻抗的病患被稱之為頑固型憂鬱症,也是目前臨床治療的一大困境。因此,探討頑固型憂鬱症的致病機轉,並尋找其有效的治療手段是迫切需要的。我們成功以創傷壓力建立對於百憂解等臨床一線抗憂鬱劑具有阻抗性,但對低劑量k他命治療有反應的動物模式。發現頑固型憂鬱症的動物會出現前額葉皮質功能缺損,與杏仁核功能亢進的情況。這項實驗結果與我們合作的臨床團隊的病患數據有著高度相似性(Lee CW et al., Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry. 2019)。

近年來我們也與台北榮總臨床合作進行非侵入性的治療—重複透顱磁刺激(repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation,rTMS),運用在臨床病患與動物模式的治療。臨床團隊的發現中以證實rTMS的新形的療程間歇性theta波經顱磁刺激(intermittent theta burst stimulation,iTBS)具有良好的治療效果,且此項治療的應用更獲得台灣食品藥物管理署的核准用於各大醫院。我們探討iTBS治療頑固型憂鬱症動物模式的機轉,發現iTBS的治療可以改善神經突觸可塑性的異常,在分子機制上,iTBS可藉由調控腦源性神經營養因子(brain-derived neurotrophic factor,BDNF),達到改善憂鬱之行為與神經突觸可塑性的異常(Lee CW et al., Cerebral Cortex. 2021)。

此外,我們也進一步比較另一種rTMS的療程持續性theta波經顱磁刺激(continuous theta burst stimulation,cTBS),結果發現,cTBS的治療亦可改善頑固型憂鬱症動物模式憂鬱行為。然而在機轉方面,cTBS僅能改善抑制型相關的神經突觸可塑性的異常,且僅能調控proBDNF的表現,達到改善憂鬱之行為(Lee CW et al., Experimental Neurology. 2023)。我們未來將以藥物學角度切入,檢測新合成的新穎藥物用於頑固型憂鬱症的療效。

綜上所述,現今生活型態改變導致生活壓力增加,憂鬱症的盛行率也隨之增高,對於治療頑固型憂鬱症的研究更顯重要。我們未來將嘗試尋找頑固型憂鬱症治病的關鍵神經傳遞物質。並以此為標的,與臨床團隊共同尋找有效的治療方式與臨床治療有效性的預測。

二、自閉症

自閉症是一種神經發育疾病,大腦興奮性及抑制性神經傳導的失衡及突觸功能或結構的缺失,是造成自閉症病徵(社交障礙、溝通缺失及固著/重複行為)的主因。我們的研究主要透過表現類自閉症行為之齧齒類動物,探討造成自閉症大腦缺損的病理機轉,並試圖從中尋找自閉症的治療手段,造福飽受疾病所困的自閉症患者。

        我們以藥物學的角度,針對臨床藥物和調控大腦麩胺酸(glutamate)系統中N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA)受體所媒介的興奮性突觸可塑性,發現無論是直接部分阻斷NMDA受體,或是間接調控其下游之分子機制,均成功改善自閉鼠的行為表徵 (Wu HF et al., Molecular Neurobiology. 2017; Wu HF et al., Molecular Neurobiology. 2018)。以臨床使用電刺激角度切入,我們藉由腦深層電刺激(deep brain stimulation)在大腦形成之超微型電流迴路,調控大腦神經傳導平衡,改善動物的自閉表徵(Wu HF et al., International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 2018)。

    鑑於大腦早期發育受到外在環境毒物的曝露與精神疾病的盛行率驟增息息相關,我們最近探討環境因素對自閉症的影響,發現第一子代自閉鼠的社交缺失及大腦突觸抑制與興奮性調節異常會延續至第二子代鼠,並發現突觸抑制性系統的恆定在維護跨世代社交功能之重要價值(Chu MC et al., Journal of Biomedical Science. 2022)。未來將嘗試探討發育階段,進而尋找自閉症致病的核心機制與治療手段。。

我們團隊建立以精神醫學或發育領域的動物疾病模式,與臨床醫學攜手尋找治療有效的嶄新標的和機轉,未來我們也將結合鈣離子呈像、化學遺傳學及光遺傳學技術,將研究層次自微型突觸結構及單一腦區,提升至大腦特定神經迴路與疾病行為相關性之解析,並藉此研發新穎藥物和新興治療策略的運用於臨床,期能治療大腦疾患並降低社會醫療之負擔。歡迎對精神生物醫學領域和神經科學領域有興趣的同學加入團隊。
