Combinatorial effects of amyloid beta and cytokines on primary human astrocytes

ABSTRACT: Natural functions of the amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide are incompletely understood. We studied the effects nanomolar concentrations of Aβ in combination with known pro-inflammatory cytokines on primary human astrocytes, a cell type increasingly implicated in neurodegeneration. RNA-seq was performed to profile changes in astrocyte transcriptomes in response to high and low concentration Aβ alone, as well as low concentration Aβ and/or the cytokines C1q, TNF-α and IL-1α. Experiments were performed in triplicate within cells from one donor/supplier, and in triplicate using cells from three different donors/suppliers (to identify conserved biological responses).

UBB+1-induced activation of autophagy reduces cytotoxicity of amyloid-β in yeast

Project description:UBB+1 is a mutated version of ubiquitin B caused by a transcriptional frameshift. The accumulation of UBB+1, has been linked to ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) dysfunction and neurodegeneration. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of neurodegeneration and accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) in the brain is a prominent neuropathological feature of AD. In our previous study, we found that low expression of UBB+1 could protect cells against several stresses during chronological aging. Here, we applied the genome-wide expression analyses and found that low UBB+1 expression activated the autophagy pathway. Low UBB+1 expression was shown to upregulate vacuolar activity and promote transport of the ATG8p (autophagic marker) to the vacuole. To further study the effects, we expressed low level of UBB+1 in our humanized yeast Aβ models with the expression of either Aβ42 or Aβ40. Interestingly, the co-expression of UBB+1 with Aβ42 or Aβ40 showed a reduction of intracellular Aβ levels and increased chronological life span. In the autophagy deficient mutant background (atg1∆), the intracellular Aβ levels were not affected by UBB+1 expression. Our findings suggest a mechanism of UBB+1 action in reducing intracellular levels of Aβ.

Modulation of gene expression by complement protein C1q in amyloid-beta injured neurons

Project description:Complement protein C1q is induced after injury in the brain and during Alzheimer's disease and has been shown to protect against amyloid-beta induced neuronal death. In this study, we used microarray approach to identify the pathways modulated by C1q that are associated with neuroprotection. Immature rat cortical primary neurons are treated with fibrillar amyloid-beta peptides and/or C1q for 3h before RNA extraction and hybridization on rat Affymetrix microarrays. Supplementary file: Processed/normalized, probe-level signal intensities from neurons treated with amyloid-beta or C1q. Median signal intensity used as global normalization method, done with JMP genomics (v5.0) software.

Analysis of gene expression changes in amyloid-beta (ADDL) and CAT-SKL antioxidant treated primary rat neuronal cells

Project description:Amyloid-beta (Aβ)-induced neurotoxicity is a major contributor to the pathologies associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and early response induced by the Aβ peptide, plays a significant role in effecting cellular pathogenesis. Here we apply a particularly effective form of exogenous Aβ, i.e., amyloid beta-derived diffusible ligands (ADDLs), to cultured primary cortical/hippocampal neurons to elicit ROS and drive cellular dysfunction. To prevent and even reverse such effects, we employed a cell-penetrating, peroxisome-targeted, protein biologic - called CAT-SKL. We show the recombinant enzyme enters neurons, reverses Aβ-induced oxidative stress, and increases cell viability. Dramatic restorative effects on damaged neuronal processes were also observed. CAT-SKL, a targeted antioxidant, may represent a new therapeutic approach for treatment disorders, like Alzheimer’s disease, where oxidative stress is manifest. Preclinical testing is warranted and ongoing Primary Rat E18 coritical/hippocampal neurons (derived from Sprague Dawley E18 cortical/hippocampus tissue obtained from BrainBits®, Springfield, IL) were treated with ADDLs in the presence or absence of the targeted antioxidant CAT-SKL to investigate genes that displayed altered expression in response to treatmetns total RNA was isolated and analyzed in an Agilent two-color experiment. Two biological replicates of each condition were directly compared, ratios are treated relative to control (untreated)

Neuronal microRNA response to Alzheimer's disease amyloid beta

Project description:In neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), brain miRNA profiles are altered; thus miRNA dysfunction could be both a cause and a consequence of disease. Our study dissects the complexity of human AD pathology, in the absence of a post mortem delay, and provides the first miRNA profiling analysis addressing the contribution of amyloid-β (Aβ), a known causative factor of AD, to the de-regulation of neuronal miRNA expression. We used murine primary hippocampal neurons to show that Aβ is a powerful regulator of mature miRNA expression and a prominent miRNA down-regulation is evoked in response to Aβ peptides. Our study provides insight into a previously unexplored mechanism of how Aβ may impact the pathology of AD and identification of key miRNAs affected by Aβ will allow further analysis on target genes and biological pathways contributing to AD pathomechanisms.

Glycosylated clusterin species facilitate amyloid beta toxicity in human neurons.

Project description:Clusterin (CLU) is one of the most significant genetic risk factors for late onset Alzheimer’s disease. Numerous studies have now demonstrated that CLU-AD mutations and amyloid-β (Aβ) treatment alter the trafficking and localisation of glycosylated CLU. iPSCs with altered CLU trafficking were generated following the removal of CLU exon 2 by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. Neurons were generated from control, unedited and exon 2 -/- iPSCs and were incubated with aggregated Aβ peptides. Changes in cell death and neurite length were quantified to determine if altered CLU protein trafficking influenced neuronal sensitivity to Aβ.

Design, characterization, and use of a novel amyloid β-protein control for assembly, neurotoxicity, and gene expression studies

Project description:A key pathogenic agent in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the amyloid β-protein (Aβ), which self-assembles into a variety of neurotoxic structures. Establishing structure-activity relationships for these assemblies is critical for proper therapeutic target identification and design. We examined the effects of Aβ monomers, dimers, higher-order oligomers, and fibrils on gene expression in primary rat hippocampal neurons. As opposed to “reverse” Aβ or non-Aβ peptides typically used as controls in such studies, we designed novel scrambled Aβ peptides predicted to behave distinctly from native Aβ. Significant changes in gene expression were observed for all peptide assemblies, but fibrils induced the largest changes. Significant changes in gene expression were observed for all peptide assemblies, but fibrils induced the largest changes. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) revealed two predominant gene modules related to Aβ treatment. Many genes within these modules were associated with inflammatory signaling pathways

A Human Model of Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Using Neural Crest-Derived Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Project description:There is a growing recognition of cerebrovascular contribution to neurodegenerative diseases. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), characterised by amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposits in the walls of intracerebral and leptomeningeal arteries, is evident in a majority of Alzheimer’s disease patients and aged people. Here, we leverage on human pluripotent stem cells to generate vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) from neural crest progenitors, recapitulating brain vasculature-specific attributes in Aβ metabolism. We confirm that the lipoprotein receptor, LRP1, functions in our neural crest-derived SMCs to mediate Aβ uptake and intracellular proteasomal degradation. Hypoxia significantly compromises the ability of SMCs in Aβ clearance by suppressing LRP1 expression. This enables us to develop an assay of Aβ uptake using the neural crest-derived SMCs with hypoxia as a stress paradigm. We then tested several vascular protective compounds in a high throughput format, demonstrating the value of stem cell-based phenotypic screening for novel CAA therapeutics and drug repurposing.

Irisin reduces Amyloid-β by inducing the release of neprilysin from astrocytes following downregulation of ERK-STAT3 signaling

Project description:A pathological hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the deposition of amyloid-β protein (Aβ) in the brain. Physical exercise has been shown to reduce Aβ burden in various AD mouse models, but the underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated. Irisin, an exercise-induced hormone, is the secreted form of fibronectin-domain III containing 5 (FNDC5). Here, using a three-dimensional (3D) cell culture model of AD, we show that irisin significantly reduces Aβ pathology by increasing astrocytic release of the Aβ-degrading enzyme neprilysin (NEP). This is mediated by downregulation of ERK-STAT3 signaling. Finally, we show that integrin αV/β5 acts as the irisin receptor on astrocytes required for irisin-induced release of astrocytic NEP, leading to clearance of Aβ. Our findings reveal for the first time a cellular and molecular mechanism by which exercise-induced irisin attenuates Aβ pathology, suggesting a new target pathway for therapies aimed at the prevention and treatment of AD
