Трансляционная медицина — это междисциплинарная область знаний,
объединяющая элементы клинической медицины и последних достижений
в молекулярной и клеточной биологии, физиологии, генетики,
биоинформатики, фармакологии, химии, физики и других областей знаний
для максимально быстрой и эффективной разработки и применения новых
терапевтических и диагностических подходов в клинике.
Правительство США через National Institutes of Health в 2012 создало
National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) с бюджетом
более 1 млрд долларов в год, Евросоюз - около 600 млн. евро в год только
через 7 Рамочную программу, Британский Совет по медицинским
исследованиям – более 354 млн. фунтов стерлингов в год и т.п.), фонды и
корпорации (например, фонд Tufts Clinical and Translational Sciences
Institute), медицинские сообщества и т.п.
Только в США открыто более 60 Институтов Трансляционной Медицины в
Университетах (финансируются частично через NCATS)
К сожалению, из опубликованных за последние 5 лет 175 тыс. научных
статей с ключевыми словами «Translational Sciences» только 30 имеют
российскую аффиляцию (по данным Scopus).

Translational Medicine in
Post-Genomic Era
• Humans have about 20,000 genes
• All existing pharmacological drugs currently on
market target approximately 120 proteins
• 100 best selling drugs on the market target 34
proteins
• It is expected that in human genome there are at
least 5000 potential druggable targets
• More or less we understand today functions of
about 10,000 genes
Translational Medicine in
Post-Genomic Era
• Rodents and humans share up to 99% of
genes
• Mice and rats are routinely used in
preclinical pharmacological studies
• Opportunities for genetic manipulations
Opportunities for genetic
manipulations in rodents
• 1982 First Transgenic Mouse
Transgenic animal – one that
carries a foreign gene that has
been deliberately inserted into
its genome.
A team led by Richard Palmiter
created mice expressing a rat
growth-hormone gene.
However:
Generally non-selective expression
of not controlled number of copies
of genes
Opportunities for genetic
manipulations in rodents
• Knockout (KO) mice
• Knockout mutation – replacement of a gene segment by
homologous recombination that normally results in a
nonfunctional or “null” allele.
• First KO mouse line was developed in 1989
Oliver Smithies, Mario R. Capecchi and Sir Martin J. Evans,
won the 2007 Nobel Prize in medicine for developing the
“knockout” technology that allows scientists to create animal
models of human disease in mice
Opportunities for genetic
manipulations in rodents
• Conventional Knockout (KO) mice
Leptin KO mice – model of obesity
However:
• The absence of critical proteins through the development raises
possibility of developmental compensations
• Global disruption of protein expression may result in a complex
phenotype
Conditional knockout mice
• Tissue-specific knockout
– Avoids embryo lethality
– Avoids complex phenotypes
• Inducible knockout
– Allows “before” and “after” type analysis
– Model of acquired mutation rather than
inherited mutation
Other Possibilities for Transgenesis
• Knock-in (KI) mutants – similar to a knockout mutation,
except mutation is usually a point mutation that results in
a partially functional or nonfunctional allele.
• Knock-down (KD) mutants – similar to a knockout
mutation technique used to create a partially functional
allele.
• BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome) transgenic
overexpressors – allows expression of several copies of
a gene and results an increase in protein expression in
endogenous sites.
• Talen, ZFN and CRISPR nucleases technology - the
• most recent opportunity for genome editing in all species
and in shortest time (in mice and rats – 6 months)
Application of transgenic models in
experimental medicine and pharmacology
• Novel target validation by screening for relevant
phenotypes of KO mice
• Testing of hypotheses of disease pathology and
uncovering novel molecular pathological mechanisms
and targets for pharmacological correction
• Recapitulation of human pathology and mutations to
develop naturalistic models of a disease
• Validation of the selectivity of action of novel
compounds

Hyperactivity of DAT-KO mice
Compounds effective in inhibition of
hyperactivity in DAT-KO mice
• α-methyl-p-tyrosine, Inhibitor of tyrosine hydroxylase
• Classical (haloperidol) and atypical (olanzapine, clozapine and
aripiprazole) antipsychotics
• Psychostimulants
• Direct and indirect 5-HT agonists
• 5-HT2A antagonist M100907
• Positive modulators of AMPA glutamate receptors (Ampakines)
• Cannabinoid (CB1) receptor agonists
• Acetylcholine esterase (ACHE) inhibitors
• Nicotine
• ERK inhibitors
• Antimaniac drugs Lithium and Valproate (GSK3 inhibitors)

Relevance of DAT-KO mice for
Schizophrenia
• Recapitulate some specific behaviors
consistent with hyperdopaminergia and
believed to be related to psychosis :
hyperactivity, persistent stereotypies,
deficient PPI, LI
• However, like amphetamine rodent models,
they do not have “classical” deficits in social
interactions, thus model is limited to
endophenotypes of “positive” symptoms
Glutamate hypothesis
• Phencyclidine (PCP) and ketamine dissociative anesthetic:
– Auditory hallucinations
– Depersonalization
– Delusions
– Both positive and negative
symptoms
• In experimental animals can be modeled by NMDA antagonist
(MK-801, PCP) - induced hyperactivity, stereotypy, disrupted
PPI and deficits in social interaction
NR1-knockdown (NR1-KD) mice (have 5% of NR1):
-Hyperactivity and stereotypy
-PPI deficit
-Hyperactivity and PPI deficits can be blocked by
haloperidol, clozapine, olanzapine, risperidone and
aripiprazole
NR1-KD mice show remarkable deficits in
social interaction reversible by clozapine

Science 299, 76 (2003)
• Human TPH1 and TPH2 share 72% amino acid identity
• TPH2 (Chromosome 12q21.1) vs. TPH1 (Chromosome 11p14-15.3 )
BALB/CJ and DBA mice have single nucleotide mutation in TPH2
that reduces serotonin synthesis by 40-50%

Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is characterized by progressive
degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the basal ganglia and
presence of cytoplasmic inclusions known as Lewy bodies.
Clinically manifests when loss of dopaminergic neurons reaches
around 60-70%
Major manifestations of PD :
• Resting tremor (tremor at resting conditions)
• Rigidity (tonically increased muscle tone)
• Bradykinesia / akinesia (slowness/absense of movement)
• Gait disturbance and postural instability
Other motor manifestations:
• Facial masking
• Decreased eye-blinking

Non-selective D1/D2 DA agonists are also effective but not as much as L-DOPA
DDD mice summary
• Maximally possible degree of acute DA
deficiency
• Remarkable motor abnormalities – akinesia,
rigidity, but normal righting reflex
• Simple screening model for drugs that can
restore movement control in conditions of severe
DA deficiency
• More than 100 compounds have been tested to
date in DDD mice
Application of transgenic models in
experimental medicine and pharmacology
• Novel target validation by screening for relevant
phenotypes of KO mice
• Testing of hypotheses of disease pathology and
uncovering novel molecular pathological mechanisms
and targets for pharmacological correction
• Recapitulation of human pathology and mutations to
develop naturalistic models of a disease
• Validation of the selectivity of action of novel
compounds
Trace Amines (TAs) and their
receptors (TAARs)
• TAs (tyramine and octopamine) are involved in movement control
and other functions in invertebrates, but role in mammals is unclear
• Can act as “false” neurotransmitters via interaction with monoamine
transporters; β-PEA interacts with dopamine transporter (DAT) like
amphetamine, inducing hyperlocomotion and stereotypies
• TAs concentrations controlled by L-AADC and MAO
•
β-PEA plasma levels are altered in Parkinson’s disease, depression
and during maniac episodes
Dopamine

Trace amines: identification of a family
of mammalian G protein-coupled
receptors. Borowsky et al, 2001
• 9-21 GPCR genes from human to
rodents were identified
•
All TAARs shares a common motifs
•
All TAARs are located in a single
chromosomes
•
All TAARs are encoded by a single
exons, except TAAR2
Phylogenetic organization of TAARs
Validation of selectivity of newly developed TAAR1 agonist
(in collaboration with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd )
• TAAR1 agonist inhibits hyperactive DAT-KO mice
• This effect is absent in double KO mice lacking
DAT and TAAR1
Knockout Rats
• Better model than mice for human cardiovascular
disease, diabetes, arthritis, and many autoimmune,
neuropsychiatric and addiction disorders, cognitive
studies; better object for surgery
• It was not technically possible until 2009
• NIH established Knock Out Rat Consortium (KORC) in
2008
• SAGE laboratories developed zink-finger nuclease (ZFN)
technology and commercialized via SIGMA KO rat
development (90,000 USD per strain)
• Up to date about 100 KO rats were developed
