TDP-43 aggregation induced by oxidative stress causes global mitochondrial imbalance in ALS

ABSTRACT: When mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) was first linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), it was thought that ALS is a disease of oxidative stress, but this idea has taken a back seat since the discovery of multiple ALS-linked genes involved in RNA processing and proteostasis. Strikingly, a hallmark of both familial and sporadic ALS is the aggregation of the essential DNA/RNA binding protein TDP-43, which is thought to cause simultaneous loss-of-nuclear function and gain-of-cytoplasmic toxicity. A central unanswered question is what triggers ALS in adult followed by rapid and irreversible progression? Here we report that neuronal cells are particularly prone to oxidative stress to trigger TDP-43 aggregation, which in turn sponges a large subset of microRNAs and proteins, resulting in global mitochondrial imbalance that further elevates the oxidative stress. We propose that this ferocious cycle may underlie ALS onset and progression with oxidative stress as a key disease-driving event.

TDP-43 aggregation induced by oxidative stress causes global mitochondrial imbalance in ALS

Project description:When mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) was first linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), it was thought that ALS is a disease of oxidative stress. Since the discovery of multiple ALS-linked genes involved in RNA processing and proteostasis, most recent research has been focused on molecular defects induced by those mutant genes, but whether and how oxidative stress might contribute to magnification of those molecular defects have remained unaddressed. Strikingly, a hallmark of both familial and sporadic ALS is the aggregation of the essential DNA/RNA binding protein TDP-43, which is thought to cause simultaneous loss-of-nuclear function and gain-of-cytoplasmic toxicity. A central unanswered question is what triggers ALS in adult followed by rapid and irreversible progression? Here we report that neuronal cells are particularly prone to oxidative stress to trigger TDP-43 aggregation, which in turn sponges a large subset of microRNAs and proteins to cause both up-regulation and functional depletion of different sets of gene products. Remarkably, a large fraction of those functionally perturbed genes are nuclear genome-encoded mitochondrial proteins, thus resulting in a global mitochondrial imbalance, which further augments oxidative stress. We propose that this ferocious cycle driven by oxidative stress in combination with causal mutations in critical genes may underlie ALS onset and progression.

Polystyrene nanoparticles trigger aberrant condensation of TDP-43 and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-like symptoms

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the dysfunction and progressive death of cerebral and spinal motor neurons. Preliminary epidemiological research has hinted at a relationship between environmental risks and the escalation of ALS, but the underlying reasons remain mostly mysterious. Here, we show that nano-size polystyrene plastics (PS) induce ALS-like symptoms and illustrate the related molecular mechanism. When exposed to PS, cells endure internal oxidative stress, which leads to the aggregation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 kDa (TDP-43), triggering ALS-like characteristics. Additionally, the oxidized heat shock protein 70 fails to escort TDP-43 back to the nucleus. The cytoplasmic accumulation of TDP-43 facilitates the formation of a complex between PS and TDP-43, enhancing TDP-43’s condensation and solidification. These findings are corroborated through in silico and in vivo assays. Altogether, our work illustrates a unique toxicological mechanism induced by nanoparticles and provides insights into the connection between environmental pollution and neurodegenerative disorders.

Postmortem Cortex Samples Identify Distinct Molecular Subtypes of ALS: Retrotransposon Activation, Oxidative Stress, and Activated Glia

Project description:Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons. While several pathogenic mutations have been identified, the vast majority of ALS cases have no family history of disease. Thus, for most ALS cases, the disease may be a product of multiple pathways contributing to varying degrees in each patient. Using machine learning algorithms, we stratified the transcriptomes of 148 ALS postmortem cortex samples into three distinct molecular subtypes. The largest cluster, identified in 61% of patient samples, displayed hallmarks of oxidative and proteotoxic stress. Another 19% of the samples showed predominant signatures of glial activation. Finally, a third group (20%) exhibited high levels of retrotransposon expression and signatures of TARDBP/TDP-43 dysfunction. We further demonstrated that TDP-43 (1) directly binds a subset of retrotransposon transcripts and contributes to their silencing in vitro, and (2) pathological TDP-43 aggregation correlates with retrotransposon de-silencing in vivo.

The protective effect of edaravone on TDP-43 plus oxidative stress-induced neurotoxicity in neuronal cells: Analysis of its neuroprotective mechanisms using RNA sequencing

Project description:Edaravone is a free-radical scavenger drug that was recently approved for the treatment of amyo-trophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease. A pathological hallmark of ALS is the accumulation of ubiquitinated or phosphorylated aggregates of the 43-kDa transactive response DNA binding protein (TDP-43) within the cytoplasm of motor neurons. This study revealed the efficacy of edaravone in preventing neuronal cell death in a TDP-43 proteinopathy model and analyzed the molecular changes associated with the neuroprotection. The viability of the neuronal cells expressing TDP-43 was reduced by oxidative stress, and edaravone (≥10 μmol/L) protected in a concentration-dependent manner against the neurotoxic insult. Differential gene expression analysis revealed changes among pathways related to nuclear erythroid 2-related-factor (Nrf2)-mediated oxidative stress response in cells expressing TDP-43. In edaravone-treated cells express-ing TDP-43, significant changes in gene expression were also identified among Nrf2-oxidative re-sponse, unfolded protein response, and autophagy pathways. In addition, the expression of genes belonging to phosphatidylinositol metabolism pathways was modified. These findings suggest that the neuroprotective effect of edaravone involves the prevention of TDP-43 misfolding and en-hanced clearance of pathological TDP-43 in TDP-43 proteinopathy.

A transient protein folding response targets aggregation in the early phase of TDP-43-mediated disease

Project description:Understanding the mechanisms that drive TDP-43 pathology is integral to combating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Here we generated a longitudinal quantitative proteomic map of the cortex from the cytoplasmic TDP-43 rNLS8 mouse model of ALS and FTLD and developed a complementary open-access webtool, TDP-map (https://shiny.rcc.uq.edu.au/TDP-map/). We identified distinct protein subsets enriched for diverse biological pathways with temporal alterations in protein abundance, including increases in protein folding factors prior to disease onset. This included increased levels of DnaJ homolog subfamily B member 5, DNAJB5, which also co-localized with TDP-43 pathology in diseased human motor cortex. DNAJB5 over-expression decreased TDP-43 aggregation in cell and cortical neuron cultures, and knockout of Dnajb5 exacerbated motor impairments caused by AAV-mediated cytoplasmic TDP-43 expression in mice. Together, these findings reveal molecular mechanisms at distinct stages of ALS and FTLD progression and suggest that protein folding factors could be protective in disease.

Reduction of Nemo-like kinase increases lysosome biogenesis and ameliorates TDP-43-related neurodegeneration

Project description:Protein aggregation is a hallmark of many neurodegenerative disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Although mutations in TARDBP, encoding TDP-43, account for less than 1% of all ALS cases, TDP-43-positive aggregates are present in nearly all ALS patients, including patients with sporadic ALS (sALS) or carrying other familial ALS (fALS)-causing mutations. Interestingly, TDP-43 inclusions are also present in subsets of patients with frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease; therefore, methods of activating intracellular protein quality control machinery capable of clearing toxic cytoplasmic TDP-43 species may alleviate disease-related phenotypes. Here, we identify a novel function of Nemo-like kinase (Nlk) as a negative regulator of lysosome biogenesis. Genetic or pharmacological reduction of Nlk increased lysosome formation and improved clearance of aggregated TDP-43. Furthermore, Nlk reduction ameliorated pathological, behavioral, and lifespan deficits in two distinct mouse models of TDP-43 proteinopathy. Because many toxic proteins can be cleared along the autophagy-lysosome axis, targeted reduction of Nlk represents a potential approach to therapy development for multiple neurodegenerative disorders.

Repurposing Herpesvirus Protein ORF57 to Inhibit TDP-43 Aggregation

Project description:The integrated stress response (ISR) is a major element of translation control. The ISR is beneficial in responding to acute stresses, but in human disease a chronic, persistent stress response can contribute to the disease process. Many studies manipulate the ISR by targeting just one protein. However, viral proteins have evolved to target many elements of this system. We examined the Herpesvirus protein ORF57, and determined the protein interaction network and identified that it binds to many proteins linked to the ISR. We show that expressing ORF57 in neuronal SH-SY5Y cells reduces the ISR, inhibiting the accumulation of G3BP1 positive stress granules. We then applied the ORF57 vector to examine the effects on aggregation of TDP-43, which accumulates in neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We demonstrate that expressing ORF57 changes the dynamics of TDP-43 aggregation and granule formation, reducing the accumulation of aggregated TDP-43 by 36% and increasing the rate of dispersion of TDP-43 aggregates by 2.45-fold. These data suggest that viral proteins, such as ORF57, can be repurposed and applied to inhibit the types of chronic, persistent stress responses in mammalian cells that are associated with neurodegenerative diseases.

Transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) to identify aberrant splicing events in induced pluripotent stem cells derived from an ALS patient harboring a TDP-43(M337V) mutation

Project description:Mutations in the TDP-43 gene (also called TARDBP), which encodes transactive response DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), have been found in 1–5% of sporadic and familial cases of the devastating adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). TDP-43 is a predominantly nuclear RNA/DNA-binding protein that has diverse roles in RNA processing, but in diseased motor neurons it is depleted from the nucleus and sequestered into cytoplasmic protein aggregates that are a hallmark of the disease. How the loss of the RNA/DNA-binding activity of TDP-43 contributes to ALS pathogenesis is largely unknown. Using a large-scale RNAi screening approach, we recently identified TDP-43 as a gene required for maintaining genomic stability. We showed that induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and neurons derived from ALS patients harboring TDP-43 mutations are defective in two major pathways for repair of DNA double-strand breaks, non-homologous end joining and homologous recombination. Accordingly, TDP-43-mutant ALS iPSCs and neurons display increased DNA damage, which we also observed in brain tissues from ALS mice harboring a knock-in ALS-linked Tdp-43 mutation and from human ALS patients. To gain insight into the mechanistic basis by which ALS-associated TDP-43 mutants result in increased DNA damage, we performed transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) in TDP-43-mutant ALS iPSCs, and found aberrant alternative pre-mRNA splicing of a number of genes involved in DNA repair. Our results suggest a role for TDP-43 in DNA repair and reveal a previously unknown mechanism that likely contributes to the pathogenesis of ALS harboring TDP-43 mutations.
