RNA sequencing of control versus tauR406W transgenic Drosophila heads at day 10 of adulthood

ABSTRACT: Paired-end RNA sequencing was performed on heads of control and human tauR406W transgenic Drosophila aged to day 10 of adulthood. TauR406W is one of many mutations in the Microtubule-Associated Protein Tau (MAPT) gene that cause an autosomal dominant neurological disorder termed Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD)-tau with MAPT mutation. The tauR406W Drosophila model was developed by Dr. Mel Feany, and has been used widely to study tau biology due to its mild toxicity at day 10 of adulthood, which is convenient for genetic analyses and precedes exponential decline in survival. Using control and tauR406W Drosophila RNA-seq datasets, we found that CREB-regulated genes are overrepresented among differentially expressed genes in tauR406W transgenic Drosophila.

A proteomic network approach resolves stage-specific molecular phenotypes in chronic traumatic encephalopathy

Project description:There is an association between repetitive head injury (RHI) and a pathologic diagnosis of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) characterized by the aggregation of proteins including tau. The underlying molecular events that cause these abnormal protein accumulations remain unclear. Here, we hypothesized that identifying human brain proteome from serial CTE stages (CTE I-IV) would provide critical new insights into CTE pathogenesis. Brain samples from frontotemporal lobar degeneration due to microtubule associated protein tau (FTLD-MAPT) mutations were also included as a distinct tauopathy phenotype for comparison.

Cancer-specific association between Tau (MAPT) and cellular pathways, clinical outcome, and drug response

Project description:Tau (MAPT) is a microtubule-associated protein causing frequent neurodegenerative diseases or inherited frontotemporal lobar degenerations. Emerging evidence for non-canonical functions of Tau in DNA protection and P53 regulation suggests its involvement in cancer. Indeed, Tau expression correlates with cancer-specific survival or response to microtubule therapeutics. These data may imply common molecular pathways involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders and cancer. To bring new evidence that Tau represents a key protein in cancer, we present an in silico pan-cancer analysis of MAPT transcriptomic profile in over 11000 clinical samples and over 1300 pre-clinical samples provided by the TCGA and the DEPMAP datasets respectively. We completed this analysis by exploring a possible interplay of MAPT with wild-type or mutated P53. Then, we calculated the impact of MAPT expression on clinical outcome and drug response. Overall, the results support a relevant role of the MAPT gene in several cancer types, although the contribution of Tau to cancer appears to very much depend on the cellular context.

Progranulin–glucocerebrosidase complex regulates tau and alpha-synuclein inclusions to alter phenotypes in tauopathy

Project description:Many neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) are characterized by abnormal protein deposition and frequently show comorbid pathology. Progranulin (PGRN) is implicated not only in TDP-43 but in tau and alpha-synuclein proteinopathies. However, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here, we generated P301S tau transgenic mice with PGRN haploinsufficiency and loss and found that those mice exhibit exacerbated disinhibition phenotype while showing attenuated memory impairment, hippocampal atrophy, and transcriptomic changes. Remarkably, the phenotypic alteration was accompanied by an increase in tau inclusions, which are positive for alpha-synuclein, a PGRN binding partner beta-glucocerebrosidase (GCase), and its substrate glucosylceramide. GCase inhibition or PGRN deficiency enhanced tau aggregation induced by AD-derived tau seeds in neurons. In vitro, GCase and glucosylceramide promoted P301S tau aggregation. Similar co-pathology was observed in AD and FTLD-GRN patients.

Tau promotes neurodegeneration through global chromatin relaxation

Project description:We performed H3K9me2-based ChIP-seq to identify regions of the Drosophila genome that are H3K9me2-depleted due to transgenic neuronal expression of human mutant tau. Examination of H3K9me2 histone methylation in 10 day old control and tau transgenic Drosophila heads.

Truncated stathmin-2 is a marker of TDP-43 pathology in frontotemporal dementia

Project description:No treatment for frontotemporal dementia (FTD), the second most common type of early-onset dementia, is available, but therapeutics are being investigated to target the 2 main proteins associated with FTD pathological subtypes: TDP-43 (FTLD-TDP) and tau (FTLD-tau). Testing potential therapies in clinical trials is hampered by our inability to distinguish between patients with FTLD-TDP and FTLD-tau. Therefore, we evaluated truncated stathmin-2 (STMN2) as a proxy of TDP-43 pathology, given the reports that TDP-43 dysfunction causes truncated STMN2 accumulation. Truncated STMN2 accumulated in human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived neurons depleted of TDP-43, but not in those with pathogenic TARDBP mutations in the absence of TDP-43 aggregation or loss of nuclear protein. In RNA-Seq analyses of human brain samples from the NYGC ALS cohort, truncated STMN2 RNA was confined to tissues and disease subtypes marked by TDP-43 inclusions. Last, we validated that truncated STMN2 RNA was elevated in the frontal cortex of a cohort of patients with FTLD-TDP but not in controls or patients with progressive supranuclear palsy, a type of FTLD-tau. Further, in patients with FTLD-TDP, we observed significant associations of truncated STMN2 RNA with phosphorylated TDP-43 levels and an earlier age of disease onset. Overall, our data uncovered truncated STMN2 as a marker for TDP-43 dysfunction in FTD.

A Genome-wide Gene Expression Analysis and Database in Transgenic Mice during Development of Amyloid or Tau Pathology

Project description:The purpose of this project was to compare whole genome expression in 5 transgenic mice with human genes for dementia that result in either plaques or tangle pathology to the expression in wild-type control mice and to each other at different stages of disease progression. Total RNA was obtained from hippocampus, cortex and cerebellum in four lines of ‘amyloid’ transgenic mice (mutant human APP and APP/PSEN1 genes) and ‘TAU’ transgenic mice (mutant human MAPT gene) as well as wild-type control mice at 8,16, 32 and 72 weeks

MAPT expression is mediated by long-range interactions with cis-regulatory elements [RNA_timecourse]

Project description:Tau is encoded by MAPT and abnormal aggregates of tau are a hallmark of a group of neurodegenerative diseases called tauopathies. MAPT is lowly expressed in neural progenitor cells (NPCs), but it is more highly expressed in oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and neurons that derive from NPCs. This expression switch at differentiation suggests that MAPT expression is controlled by transcription factors and cis-regulatory elements specific to these differentiated cell types, including neurons.
