A novel systems biology approach to evaluate mouse models of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease

ABSTRACT: Background: Late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) is the most common form of dementia worldwide. To date, animal models of Alzheimer’s have focused on rare familial mutations, due to a lack of frank neuropathology from models based on common disease genes. Recent multi-cohort studies of postmortem human brain transcriptomes have identified a set of 30 gene co-expression modules associated with LOAD, providing a molecular catalog of relevant endophenotypes. Results: This resource enables precise gene-based alignment between new animal models and human molecular signatures of disease. Here, we describe a new resource to efficiently screen mouse models for LOAD relevance. A new NanoString nCounter® Mouse AD panel was designed to correlate key human disease processes and pathways with mRNA from mouse brains. Analysis of three mouse models based on LOAD genetics, carrying APOE4 and TREM2*R47H alleles and the 5xFAD mouse, a widely used amyloid pathology model, demonstrated overlaps with distinct human AD modules that, in turn, are functionally enriched in key disease-associated pathways. Comprehensive comparison with full transcriptome data from same-sample RNA-Seq shows strong correlation between gene expression changes independent of experimental platform. Conclusions: Taken together, we show that the nCounter Mouse AD panel offers a rapid, cost-effective and highly reproducible approach to assess disease relevance of potential LOAD mouse models

Alzheimer Disease model detergent insoluble proteomes

Project description:Characterizing the detergent insoluble brain proteome of sporadic late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) has identified proteins and pathways associated with disease pathogenesis. Similar studies in early onset Alzheimer’s disease cases due to presenilin-1 mutations (PS1-EOAD), along with more detailed correlations with insoluble proteomes from LOAD and AD transgenic rodents, are limited. We therefore utilized quantitative proteomics to identify proteins that were significantly changing in the PS1-EOAD insoluble proteome versus controls. Comparison with the LOAD insoluble proteome identified common pathologic AD markers in addition to unique PS1-EOAD insoluble proteins. Similarly, weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) identified PS1-EOAD and LOAD co-expression modules with both like and disparate expression levels. Finally, we compared the human PS1-EOAD insoluble proteome to transgenic AD mouse and rat insoluble proteomes to understand how well these models mimic the human disease. Although many common AD pathologic findings were found in the rodents, there were multiple PS1-EOAD proteome changes not well recapitulated in the animal models. These proteomic studies highlight unique PS1-EOAD proteome changes as compared to LOAD and identify limitations to using AD transgenic rodents to study some aspects of AD. This submission exclusively provides the mouse and rat model data.

Nanostring gene expression profiling for markers of Alzheimer's disease in MAPT P301S;cTFEB;HSACre and MAPT P301S male and female mice

Project description:To assess the potential neuroprotective effects of overexpressing skeletal muscle Transcription Factor EB (TFEB) signaling in the context of age-associated neurodegenerative disease pathologies, we derived cTFEB;HSACre transgenic mice in the MAPT P301S tau hyperphosphorylated background and used the Nanostring nCounter® Alzheimer’s Disease panel to gain more precise insights into disease-relevant transcriptional changes in the hippocampus in both male and female mice with both Tau hyperphosphorylation and skeletal muscle TFEB overexpression. We confirmed significantly reduced transcriptional activation of the nCounter AD microglial activation module through signature scoring.

RNA-seq to investigate sex-dependent changes in microglia in Cst7 knockout mice crossed with a mouse model of amyloid-driven Alzheimer's Disease

Project description:Microglial endolysosomal dysfunction is strongly implicated in neurodegeneration. Transcriptomic studies show that a microglial state characterised by a set of genes involved in endolysosomal function is induced in both mouse Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) models and in human AD brain, and that the onset of this state is emphasised in females. Cst7 (Cystatin F) is among the most highly unregulated genes in these microglia. However, the sex-specific function of Cst7 in neurodegenerative disease is not understood. Here, we crossed Cst7 -/- mice with the App NL-G-F mouse to test the role of Cst7 in a model of amyloid-driven AD.

The APOE-R136S mutation protects against APOE4-driven Tau pathology, neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation

Project description:Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) is the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD), leading to earlier age of clinical onset and exacerbating pathologies. There is a critical need to identify protective targets. Recently, a rare APOE variant, APOE3-R136S (Christchurch), was found to protect against early-onset AD in a PSEN1-E280A carrier. We sought to determine if the R136S mutation also protects against APOE4-driven effects in LOAD. We generated tauopathy mouse and human iPSC-derived neuron models carrying human APOE4 with the homozygous or heterozygous R136S mutation. We found that the homozygous R136S mutation rescued APOE4-driven Tau pathology, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation. The heterozygous R136S mutation partially protected against APOE4-driven neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation, but not Tau pathology. Single-nucleus RNA-sequencing revealed that the APOE4-R136S mutation increased disease-protective and diminished disease-associated cell populations in a gene dose-dependent manner. Thus, the APOE-R136S mutation protects against APOE4-driven AD pathologies, providing a target for therapeutic development against AD.

Transcriptomic profiling of sporadic Alzheimer’s disease patients

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) manifested before age 65 is commonly referred to as early-onset AD (EOAD). While the majority (> 90%) of EOAD cases are not caused by autosomal-dominant mutations in PSEN1, PSEN2, and APP, they do have a higher heritability (92–100%) than sporadic late-onset AD (LOAD, 70%). Although the endpoint clinicopathological changes, i.e., Aβ plaques, tau tangles, and cognitive decline, are common across EOAD and LOAD, the disease progression is highly heterogeneous. This heterogeneity, leading to temporally distinct age at onset (AAO) and stages of cognitive decline, may be caused by myriad combinations of distinct disease-associated molecular mechanisms. We and others have used transcriptome profiling in AD patient-derived neuron models of autosomal-dominant EOAD and sporadic LOAD to identify disease endotypes. Further, analyses of large postmortem brain cohorts demonstrate that only one-third of AD patients show hallmark disease endotypes like increased inflammation and decreased synaptic signaling. Areas of the brain less affected by AD pathology at early disease stages—such as the primary visual cortex—exhibit similar transcriptomic dysregulation as those regions traditionally affected and, therefore, may offer a view into the molecular mechanisms of AD without the associated inflammatory changes and gliosis induced by pathology. To this end, we analyzed AD patient samples from the primary visual cortex (19 EOAD, 20 LOAD) using transcriptomic signatures to identify patient clusters and disease endotypes. Interestingly, although the clusters showed distinct combinations and severity of endotypes, each patient cluster contained both EOAD and LOAD cases, suggesting that AAO may not directly correlate with the identity and severity of AD endotypes.

Distinct amyloid-b and tau associated microglia profiles in Alzheimer's disease

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia and is characterized by abnormal extracellular aggregates of amyloid-b and intraneuronal hyperphosphorylated, tau tangles and neuropil threads. Microglia, the tissue-resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS), are important for CNS homeostasis and implicated in AD pathology. In amyloid mouse models, a phagocytic/activated microglia phenotype has been identified. How increasing levels of amyloid-b and tau pathology affect human microglia transcriptional profiles is unknown. Here, we performed snRNAseq on 482,472 nuclei from non-demented control brains and AD brains containing only amyloid-b plaques or both amyloid-b plaques and tau pathology. Within the microglia population, distinct expression profiles were identified of which two were AD pathology-associated. The phagocytic/activated AD1-microglia population abundance strongly correlated with tissue amyloid-b load and localized to amyloid-b plaques. The AD2-microglia abundance strongly correlated with tissue phospho-tau load and these microglia were more abundant in samples with over tau pathology. This full characterization of human disease associated microglia phenotypes provides new insights in the pathophysiological role of microglia in AD and offers new targets for microglia-state-specific therapeutic strategies.

Integrated proteomics and network analysis identifies protein hubs and network alterations in Alzheimer’s disease

Project description:We performed a systems-level study of disease-associated proteome changes in human frontal cortex of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients using an integrated approach that combines mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics, differential expression analysis, and co-expression network analysis. Our analyses of 16 human brain tissues from AD patients and age-matched controls showed organization of the cortical proteome into a network of 24 biologically meaningful modules of co-expressed proteins. Of these, 5 modules are positively correlated to AD phenotypes with hub proteins that are up-regulated in AD, and 6 modules are negatively correlated to AD phenotypes with hub proteins that are down-regulated in AD.
