Human iNSC-derived brain organoid model of lysosomal storage disorder in Niemann-Pick disease type C

ABSTRACT: Recent studies on developing three-dimensional (3D) brain organoids from stem cells have allowed the generation of in vitro models of neural disease and have enabled the screening of drugs because these organoids mimic the complexity of neural tissue. Niemann-Pick disease, type C (NPC) is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the NPC1 protein. The pathological features underlying NPC are characterized by the abnormal accumulation of cholesterol in acidic compartments, including late endosomes and lysosomes. Due to the inaccessibility of brain tissues from human NPC patients, we developed NPC brain organoids with induced neural stem cells from NPC patient-derived fibroblasts. NPC organoids exhibit significantly reduced size and proliferative ability, which are accompanied by accumulation of cholesterol, impairment in neuronal differentiation and autophagic flux and dysfunction of lysosomes; therefore, NPC organoids can recapitulate the main phenotypes of NPC patients. Furthermore, these pathological phenotypes observed in NPC organoids were reversed by treatment with valproic acid, which is known to be an effective treatment for several neurodegenerative diseases. Our data present patient-specific phenotypes in 3D organoid-based models of NPC and highlight the application of this model to drug screening in vitro.

iPSC-derived microglia export cholesterol to neuronal cells in human brain organoids and promote their maturation

Project description:Microglia are specialised brain-resident macrophages that arise from primitive macrophages colonising the embryonic brain. Microglia contribute to multiple aspects of brain development, but their precise roles in early human brain remain poorly understood due to limited access to relevant tissues. The generation of brain organoids from induced human pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) recapitulates some key features of human embryonic brain development, but current approaches do not incorporate microglia and thus are lacking. Here, we generated microgliasufficient brain organoids by co-culturing brain organoids with primitive-like macrophages generated from the same human iPSC (iMac). In organoid co-cultures, iMac differentiated into cells with microglia-like phenotypes and functions (iMicro), and modulated neuronal progenitor cell (NPC) differentiation, limiting NPC proliferation and promoting axonogenesis. Mechanistically, iMicro contained high levels of PLIN2+ lipid droplets that exported cholesterol and its esters which weretaken up by NPC in the organoids. We also detected PLIN2+ lipid droplet-loaded microglia in mouse and human embryonic brain. Overall, our approach significantly advances current human brain organoid approaches by incorporating microglial

Upregulation of SNAP25 by HDAC inhibition ameliorates NPC disease phenotypes via autophagy induction

Project description:Niemann-Pick Type C disease (NPC) is a rare fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in NPC1 and NPC2 gene leading to abnormal accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in lysosomes. There have been no available treatments and FDA approved drugs for treating NPC. SAHA, a HDAC inhibitor (HDACi), was shown to ameliorate NPC disease phenotypes and considered as a therapeutics candidate but its mechanism of action is not fully clarified yet. Here, we investigated whether SAHA and HNHA, a new derivative of SAHA, reduced cholesterol level and then performed NGS analysis for these two compounds in NPC-iNSCs. Intracellular trafficking, secretion, and vesicular transport factors were highly enriched by two compounds treatment in NPC-iNSCs. Notably, SNAP25, a subunit of SNARE complex was significantly upregulated. Since autophagic flux is impaired in NPC cells due to SNARE complex deficiency, we hypothesized that increasing SNAP25 could contribute to form autolysosomes. When SNAP25 was overexpressed in NPC cells, it compensated deficient Vamp8-SNAP29-STX17 complexes to Vamp8-SNAP25-STX17 complexes then it restores autolysosomes leading to reduce accumulated LC3, LAMP1a, and p62. Consistently, SNAP25 was upregulated by HDAC inhibitors treatment and recovered deficient autophagic flux in vitro, and in vivo. Therefore, upregulation of SNAP25 by HDAC inhibition ameliorated NPC phenotypic and behavioral disorder in 2D culture system and NPC-/- mouse model. These results demonstrated a key role of SNAP25 to ameliorate NPC disease phenotypes and provided HDAC inhibitors as new therapeutic candidates for NPC treatment

Proteomic signature of NPC1 KO microglia from conditional KO mice

Project description:Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a rare neurodegenerative disorder mainly caused by autosomal recessive mutations in Npc1 which result in abnormal late endosomal/lysosomal lipid storage. Although microgliosis is one of the prominent pathological features, consequences of NPC1 loss on microglial function and disease outcome remain largely unknown. Here, we provide an in-depth characterization of microglial proteomic signatures and phenotypes in an NPC1-deficient (Npc1-/-) murine model. We demonstrate that microglial defects, including enhanced phagocytosis and impaired lipid trafficking, occur early in the NPC pathological cascade and precede neuronal death. Compromised microglial function during Npc1-/- mouse development is reflected by enhanced synaptic pruning and deficient turnover of myelin. Accumulation of the undigested myelin occurs mainly within multi-vesicular bodies (MVBs) of Npc1-/- microglia and not within lysosomes. This is in agreement with the impairments in recycling of myelin into lipid droplets. Macrophages of NPC patients displayed similar molecular and functional alterations as murine Npc1-/- microglia, strengthening the role of NPC1 in immune homeostasis. Generated ex vivo assays using patient macrophages are novel promising clinical tools to monitor the progression and therapeutic efficacy in NPC patients.

NPC1 regulates the distribution of phosphatidylinositol 4 kinases at Golgi and Lysosome membranes

Project description:Cholesterol and phosphoinositides (PI) are two critically important lipids that are found in cellular membranes and dysregulated in many disorders. Therefore, uncovering molecular pathways connecting these essential lipids may offer new therapeutic insights. We report that loss of function of lysosomal Niemann-Pick Type C1 (NPC1) cholesterol transporter, which leads to neurodegenerative NPC disease, initiates a signaling cascade that alters the cholesterol/phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) countertransport cycle between Golgi-endoplasmic reticulum (ER), as well as lysosome-ER membrane contact sites (MCS). Central to these disruptions is increased recruitment of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases-PI4KIIα and PI4KIIIβ-which boosts PtdIns4P metabolism at Golgi and lysosomal membranes. Aberrantly increased PtdIns4P levels elevate constitutive anterograde secretion from the Golgi complex, and mTORC1 recruitment to lysosomes. NPC1 disease mutations phenocopy the transporter loss of function and can be rescued by inhibition or knockdown of either key phosphoinositide enzymes or their recruiting partners. In summary, we show that the lysosomal NPC1 cholesterol transporter tunes the molecular content of Golgi and lysosome MCS to regulate intracellular trafficking and growth signaling in health and disease.

Neural and Metabolic Dysregulation in PMM2 deficient human in vitro neural models

Project description:PMM2-CDG is a rare inborn error of metabolism caused by deficiency of the phosphomannomutase (PMM2) enzyme, which leads to impaired protein glycosylation. While the disorder presents primarily with neurological symptoms, there is limited knowledge about the specific brain-related changes that result from PMM deficiency. We found aberrant neural activity in 2D neuronal networks from individuals with PMM2-CDG. Multi-omics datasets from 3D brain organoids derived from individuals with PMM2-CDG revealed widespread decrease in protein glycosylation, highlighting impaired glycosylation as a key pathological feature of PMM2-CDG. Further, we identified impaired mitochondrial structure and abnormal glucose metabolism in PMM2-CDG organoids indicating disturbances in energy metabolism. Correlation between PMM2 enzymatic activity in brain organoids and symptom severity suggests that the level of PMM2 enzyme function directly influences neurological manifestations. These findings enhance our understanding of specific brain-related perturbations associated with PMM2-CDG, offering insights into the underlying mechanisms and potential directions for therapeutic interventions.

Quantitative analysis of the proteome response to the histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) Vorniostat in Niemann-Pick Type C1 disease

Project description:Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is an inherited, progressive neurodegenerative disorder principally caused by mutations in the NPC1 gene. NPC disease is characterized by the accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in the late endosomes (LE) and lysosomes (LE) (LE/LY). Vorinostat, a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi), restores cholesterol homeostasis in fibroblasts derived from NPC patients; however, the exact mechanism by which Vorinostat restores cholesterol level is not known yet. In this study, we performed comparative proteomic profiling of the response of NPC1-I1061T fibroblasts to Vorinostat. After stringent statistical criteria to filter identified proteins, we observed 202 proteins that are differentially expressed in Vorinostat-treated fibroblasts. These proteins are members of diverse cellular pathways including the endomembrane dependent protein folding-stability-degradation-trafficking axis, energy metabolism, and lipid metabolism. Our study shows that treatment of NPC1-I1061T fibroblasts with Vorinostat not only enhances pathways promoting the folding, stabilization and trafficking of NPC1 (I1061T) mutant to the LE/LY, but alters the expression of lysosomal proteins, specifically the lysosomal acid lipase (LIPA) involved in the LIPA->NPC2->NPC1 based flow of cholesterol from the LE/LY lumen to the LE/LY membrane. We posit that the Vorinostat may modulate numerous pathways that operate in an integrated fashion through epigenetic and post-translational modifications reflecting acetylation/deacetylation balance to help manage the defective NPC1 fold, the function of the LE/LY system and/or additional cholesterol metabolism/distribution pathways, that could globally contribute to improved mitigation of NPC1 disease in the clinic based on as yet uncharacterized principles of cellular metabolism dictating cholesterol homeostasis.

Glial-enriched stem-cell 3D model resembling the cellular landscape of the human brain mimics the glial-immune neurodegenerative phenotypes of multiple sclerosis.

Project description:The role of central nervous system (CNS) glia in sustaining self-autonomous inflammation and driving clinical progression in multiple sclerosis is attracting increasing scientific interest. Here, we applied a single transcription factor (SOX10)-based protocol for accelerating oligodendrocyte differentiation from human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neural precursor cells to produce three dimensional, multilineage organoids integrating submillimetric self-organizing forebrain organoids (consisting of neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocyte precursors cells, and myelinating oligodendrocytes). To achieve an immunocompetent organotypic model, hiPSC-derived microglia was also incorporated. Within an 8-week time frame, organoids reproducibly generated a rich diversity of mature cell types, with single-cell transcriptional profiles similar to the human adult brain. This cellular system is able to respond to complex inflammatory stimuli and to properly mimic macroglia-microglia neurodegenerative phenotypes and crosstalk, as seen in chronic active multiple sclerosis. The results obtained pave the way for the implementation of this novel 3D model in the identification of druggable targets for inflammatory neurodegeneration as drug screening platform.
