Small RNA changes in hippocampus of transgenic murine model of tauopathy (rTg4510 mice) compared to littermate controls at symptomatic stage (6 months) of neurodegeneration as determined by small RNA deep sequencing.

ABSTRACT: The overall goal of the project is to assess whether small RNA, especially microRNA (miR) alterations in tauopathy conditions contribute to pathological changes that later lead to neurodegeneration. The animal model selected for this study is a well characterized tauopathy animal model, known as rTg4510 murine model. rTg4510 (tau) is a transgenic mouse model of human tauopathy expressing human tau containing the P301L mutation that is associated with familial frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17. The expression of P301L tau driven by CaMKII promoter peaks around two month-of-age and mainly in the forebrain. 6-month of age is considered the aymptomatic stage of neurodegeneration. The global expression of miRs was evaluated by small RNA sequencing in the hippocampus of tau mice at 6 months of age. The levels of several miRs were altered in the hippocampus of tau mice at 6 months which were compared to deep sequencing data from 2-month of age. Many important candidates were further evaluated for their molecular and functional contributions to the process of neurodegeneration.

MAPK-DLK signaling coupled with DNA damage promotes intrinsic neurotoxicity associated with non-mutated tau

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of neurodegeneration. Despite the well-established link between tau aggregation and clinical progression, the major pathways driven by this protein to intrinsically damage neurons are incompletely understood. To model AD-relevant neurodegeneration driven by tau, we overexpressed non-mutated human tau in primary mouse neurons and observed substantial axonal degeneration and cell death, a process accompanied by activated caspase 3. Mechanistically, we detected deformation of the nuclear envelope and increased DNA damage response in tau-expressing neurons. Gene profiling analysis further revealed significant alterations in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway; moreover, inhibitors of dual leucine zipper kinase (DLK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) were effective in alleviating wild-type human tau-induced neurodegeneration. In contrast, mutant P301L human tau was less toxic to neurons, despite causing comparable DNA damage. Axonal DLK activation induced by wild-type tau potentiated the impact of DNA damage response, resulting in overt neurotoxicity. In summary, we have established a cellular tauopathy model highly relevant to AD and identified a functional synergy between the MAPK-DLK axis and DNA damage response in the neuronal degenerative process.

Decreased synthesis of ribosomal proteins in tauopathy revealed by non-canonical amino acid labelling

Project description:Tau is a scaffolding protein which serves multiple cellular functions that are perturbed in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). We have recently shown that amyloid-, the second hallmark of AD, induces de novo protein synthesis of tau. Importantly, this activation was found to be tau-dependent, raising the question of whether FTD-tau by itself affects protein synthesis. To investigate this, we applied non-canonical amino acid labelling to visualise and identify newly synthesised proteins in the K369I tau transgenic K3 mouse model of FTD. This revealed that protein synthesis was massively decreased in neurons containing pathologically phosphorylated tau, a finding confirmed in P301L mutant tau transgenic rTg4510 mice. Using quantitative SWATH-MS proteomics, we identified changes in 247 proteins of the de novo proteome of K3 mice. These included decreased synthesis of the ribosomal proteins RPL23, RPLP0, RPL19 and RPS16, a finding that was validated in both K3 and rTg4510 mice. Together, our findings present a potential pathomechanism by which pathological tau interferes with cellular functions through the dysregulation of ribosomal protein synthesis.

APOE4-promoted gliosis and degeneration in tauopathy are ameliorated by pharmacological inhibition of HMGB1 release

Project description:Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) is an important driver of Tau pathology, gliosis, and degeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Still, the mechanisms underlying these APOE4-driven pathological effects remain elusive. In this study, we demonstrated in a tauopathy mouse model that APOE4 promoted the nucleo-cytoplasmic translocation and release of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) from hippocampal neurons, which correlated with the severity of hippocampal microgliosis and degeneration. Injection of HMGB1 into the hippocampus of young APOE4-tauopathy mice induced considerable and persistent gliosis. Selective removal of neuronal APOE4 reduced the nucleo-cytoplasmic translocation and release of HMGB1. Therapeutic treatment of APOE4-tauopathy mice with HMGB1 inhibitors effectively blocked the intraneuronal translocation and release of HMGB1 and ameliorated the development of prominent APOE4-driven AD pathologies, including gliosis, Tau pathology, neurodegeneration, and myelin deficits. Single-nucleus RNA-sequencing revealed that treatment with HMGB1 inhibitors diminished disease-associated and enriched disease-protective subpopulations of neurons, microglia, and astrocytes in APOE4-tauopathy mice. Thus, HMGB1 inhibitors represent a promising approach for treating APOE4-related AD.

The reverse transcriptase inhibitor 3TC modulates hippocampal transcriptome signatures of inflammation in tauopathy model mice

Project description:Reducing neuroinflammation, a main hallmark of brain aging and neurodegenerative diseases, is a promising strategy for improving cognitive function in these settings. The nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor 3TC (Lamivudine) has been reported to improve cognitive function in old wild-type mice and in multiple mouse models of neurodegenerative disease, but the underlying mechanisms have not been comprehensively investigated. In the current study, we used transcriptomics to broadly characterize the effects of long-term supplementation with a human-equivalent therapeutic dose of 3TC on the hippocampal transcriptome in male and female rTg4510 mice (a commonly studied model of tauopathy-associated neurodegeneration). We found that tauopathy increased hippocampal transcriptomic signatures of neuroinflammation/immune activation, but 3TC treatment reversed many of these transcriptome changes. We also found that 3TC mitigated tauopathy-associated activation of several key transcription factors that contribute to neuroinflammation and immune activation, and several of these changes were correlated with improved recognition memory performance.Our findings suggest that 3TC exerts beneficial effects on the hippocampus in the context of tauopathy by modulating pathways associated with inflammation and immune response.

Cholesterol 25-hydroxylase mediates neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in a mouse model of tauopathy

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in addition to neuroinflammation and changes in brain lipid metabolism. Recent findings have demonstrated that microglia are key drivers of neurodegeneration in tauopathy mouse models. A subset of microglia referred to as disease-associated microglia (DAM) display gene signatures signifying changes in proinflammatory signaling and lipid metabolism in mouse models of amyloid and tau pathology. Ch25h is a DAM gene encoding cholesterol 25- hydroxylase that produces 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC), a known modulator of inflammation as well as lipid metabolism. However, whether Ch25h influences tau-mediated neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration is unknown. Here, we show that in the absence of Ch25h and the resultant reduction in 25HC there is strikingly reduced age-dependent neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation in the hippocampus and entorhinal/piriform cortex of PS19 mice, which express the P301S mutant human tau transgene. Transcriptomic analyses of bulk hippocampal tissue and single nuclei revealed that Ch25h deficiency in PS19 mice strongly suppressed proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine signaling in microglia and restored sterol synthesis. Our results suggest a key role for Ch25h/25HC in potentiating proinflammatory signaling to promote tau-mediated neurodegeneration. Ch25h may represent a novel therapeutic target for primary tauopathies, AD, and other neuroinflammatory diseases.
