Undersøgelse af det sympatiske nervesystems funktion hos personer med Downs syndrom (DIVE)

9. oktober 2026 opdateret af: University of Colorado, Denver

Undersøgelse af Dysautonomi hos Personer med Downs Syndrom: DIVE-undersøgelsen

Down syndrome (DS), the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability, is associated with widespread organ dysfunction, including abnormalities in the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS regulates critical functions such as heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP), both essential for maintaining homeostasis and supporting physical activity. Individuals with DS often exhibit blunted HR responses to exercise-typically ~30 beats per minute below expected levels-suggesting reduced sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity. The SNS governs rapid changes in HR and BP during stress by releasing catecholamines: epinephrine (from the adrenal medulla) and norepinephrine (from sympathetic nerve endings). Despite its importance, SNS function has not been comprehensively assessed among individuals with DS.

This study addresses a critical knowledge gap by evaluating SNS responses to physiological stressors in individuals with DS. The investigators will measure beat-to-beat HR and BP, along with plasma catecholamine levels, in response to sympathetic activation, comparing individuals with DS to age- and sex-matched controls. Understanding the mechanisms of SNS dysfunction in DS is vital, as it likely underlies reduced exercise capacity and contributes to broader clinical challenges. These insights may guide targeted interventions to improve cardiovascular function, physical capacity, and overall quality of life in this understudied population.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

Evolution has equipped each species with instinctual defense mechanisms to cope with environmental stressors, ensuring survival. Many of these mechanisms are driven by activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which orchestrates the "fight or flight" response. Systemic SNS activation extends across all organ systems, triggering the release of catecholamines to elevate heart rate (HR) and increase blood pressure (BP) to meet the heightened metabolic demands of the stressor and ensure the delivery of oxygen-rich blood to active tissues. Exercise, a potent sympathoexcitatory stressor, poses a major challenge to the oxygen transport system, requiring coordinated organ system function to increase both HR and BP. Dysregulated SNS activation can impair oxygen delivery, leading to reduced work capacity, quality of life, and is an independent predictor of morbidity and premature mortality. Therefore, experimental approaches to understand SNS activation in populations with reduced work capacity and premature morbidity, mortality is of upmost importance for improving health outcomes and quality of life on a population level.

Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal abnormality in the human population, with widespread effects across numerous tissues and organ systems, including accelerated biological aging. Individuals with DS exhibit reduced work capacity, with maximal HRs ~30 beats below normal, and face higher rates of premature morbidity and mortality than the general population. Notably, individuals with DS demonstrate blunted catecholamine response to the sympathetic stressor of maximal exercise, suggesting diminished SNS activation. Recent literature from this PI suggests altered peripheral blood flow and BP regulation among individuals with DS during large muscle mass exercise which immolates walking, or running- critical for survival. These findings align with recent evidence of hypoxic signaling, elevated heme metabolism, and stress erythropoiesis across the lifespan in this population. Together, these data suggest that impaired oxygen delivery, potentially linked to SNS dysregulation, may be more widespread in DS than previously recognized.

However, the role of SNS activation in the context of daily stressors which elevate both HR and BP, remains unclear. Understanding the mechanisms underlying SNS dysfunction in DS is crucial, as it likely contributes to many clinical and developmental challenges, including the underlying reduced work capacity and suggested autonomic dysfunction observed in this population. Addressing this gap may enable targeted therapies to enhance survival, longevity, and quality of life for individuals with DS. The investigators aim to systematically evaluate SNS activation through four stressors which mimic common stressors faced to any individual over the course of a day or lifespan. Through evaluation of plasma catecholamines, the investigators hope to elucidate the mechanisms and impact of catecholamine responses in individuals with DS compared typical responses observed among individuals without DS.

Aim 1. Characterize the catecholamine response to physiological stressors among individuals with DS. The investigators will assess SNS responses in individuals with DS and age- and sex-matched controls. Beat-to-beat HR and BP, along with plasma catecholamine levels will be collected in response to the following sympathetic stressors: A) Cold Stress, B) Handgrip with Post-Exercise Muscle Ischemia, C) Head-up Tilt, and D) Maximal Dynamic Exercise (VO2peak). Metabolomics and proteomics will be performed on the plasma samples and these efforts will help define the manifestations of hormonal SNS dysfunction in individuals with DS.

Eksperimentel: Individuals with Down syndrome

The investigators will be recruiting participants between the ages of 18-50 for the study investigating responses to four sympathetic stressors compared to age and sex matched individuals without Down syndrome.
Andet: Cold Stress

Cold triggers the sympathetic nervous system, known as the 'fight-or-flight' response, which prepares the body to respond to a perceived threat by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and releasing catecholamines. These measurements will be taken to examine how individuals with DS will respond during a cold stress test.

The investigators are looking at how plasma catecholamines (i.e., Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, and Dopamine), blood pressure, and heart rate are expressed during a cold stress test in individuals with Down syndrome, who have proposed autonomic dysfunction. This study will compare responses among individuals with Down syndrome to a control group without Down syndrome.
