Transcriptome analysis of N140fs and T141_L142delinsMISLISV mutations in the zebrafish orthologue of the Alzheimer's disease gene PSEN2

ABSTRACT: Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of age-related dementia. At least 15 mutations in the human gene PRESENILIN 2 (PSEN2) have been found to cause familial Alzheimer’s disease (fAD). Zebrafish possess an orthologous gene, psen2, and present opportunities for investigation of PRESENILIN function related to Alzheimer’s disease. The most prevalent and best characterized fAD mutation in PSEN2 is N141I. The equivalent codon in zebrafish psen2 is N140. We used genome editing technology in zebrafish to target generation of mutations to the N140 codon. We isolated two mutations: psen2N140fs, causing truncation of the coding sequence, and psen2T141_L142delinsMISLISV, that deletes the two codons immediately downstream of N140 and replaces them with seven codons coding for amino acid residues MISLISV. Thus, like almost every fAD mutation in the PRESENILIN genes, this latter mutation does not truncate the gene’s open reading frame.

Transcriptomic analysis of premature termination codon mutation in the zebrafish gene psen2

Project description:PRESENILIN 2 (PSEN2) is one of the genes mutated in early onset familial Alzheimer’s disease (EOfAD). PSEN2 shares significant amino acid sequence identity with another EOfAD-related gene PRESENILIN 1 (PSEN1), and partial functional redundancy is seen between these two genes. However, the complete range of functions of PSEN1 and PSEN2 is not yet understood. In this study, we performed targeted mutagenesis of the zebrafish psen2 gene to generate a premature termination codon close downstream of the translation start with the intention of creating a null mutation. Homozygotes for this mutation, psen2S4Ter, are viable and fertile, and adults do not show any gross pigmentation defects, arguing against significant loss of γ-secretase activity. Transcripts containing the S4Ter mutation do not appear to be destabilized by nonsense-mediated decay. Forced expression in zebrafish embryos of fusions of psen2S4Ter 5’ mRNA sequences with sequence encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP) indicated that the psen2S4Ter mutation permits utilization of cryptic, novel downstream translation start codons. These likely initiate translation of N-terminally truncated Psen2 proteins that obey the “reading frame preservation rule” of PRESENILIN EOfAD mutations. Transcriptome analysis of entire brains from a 6-month-old family of wild type, heterozygous and homozygous psen2S4Ter female siblings revealed profoundly dominant effects on gene expression likely indicating changes in mitochondrial and (possibly) ribosomal function.

Gene expression profile of sporadic and PSEN1 early-onset Alzheimer’s Disease

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative dementia. Around 10% of cases present an age of onset before 65 years-old, which in turn can be divided in monogenic or familial AD (FAD) and sporadic early-onset AD (EOAD). Mutations in PSEN1, PSEN2 and APP genes have been linked with FAD. The aim of our study was to describe the brain whole-genome RNA expression profile of the posterior cingulate area in EOAD and FAD caused by PSEN1 mutations (FAD-PSEN1). 14 patients (7 EOAD and 7 FAD-PSEN1) and 7 neurologically healthy controls were selected and samples were hybridized in a Human Gene 1.1 microarray from Affymetrix. When comparing controls with EOAD and controls with FAD-PSEN1, we found 3183 and 3351 differentially expressed genes (DEG) respectively (FDR corrected p<0.05). However, any DEG was found in the comparison of the two groups of patients. Microarrays were validated through quantitative-PCR of 17 DEG. In silico analysis of the DEG revealed an alteration in biological pathways related to calcium-signaling, axon guidance and long-term potentiation (LTP), among others, in both groups of patients. These pathways are mainly related with cell signalling cascades, synaptic plasticity and learning and memory processes. In conclusion, the altered biological final pathways in EOAD and FAD-PSEN1 are highly coincident. Also, the findings are in line with those previously reported for late-onset AD (LOAD, onset >65 years-old), which implies that the consequences of the disease at the molecular level are similar in the final stages of the disease. 21 Samples were analyzed: 7 controls, 7 Early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and 7 early-onset AD genetically determined by a mutation in PSEN1 gene.

Mitochondrial anomalies in induced pluripotent stem cells from Alzheimer’s disease cases with Presenilin 1 mutation

Project description:Presenilin 1 (PSEN1) is the most frequently mutated gene in early-onset sporadic and familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD). The PSEN1 complex displays gamma-secretase activity and promotes cleavage of the C99-terminal fragment of the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) into the A42 peptide. PSEN1 is also involved in vesicle transport across ER and mitochondria in so called mitochondria associated membranes. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from 5 controls and 5 FAD cases carrying the PSEN1 A246E and L286V mutations. Unexpectedly, global gene expression profile analysis of FAD iPSCs revealed profound perturbation of mitochondrial, Golgi apparatus and ER pathways. PSEN1, APP and Nicastrin were highly expressed in iPSCs and PSEN1 localized to membrane-bound organelles. FAD iPSCs grown slower and showed elevated cell death together with abnormally high A42 secretion. Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) were elevated in FAD iPSCs and treatment with a ROS scavenger significantly improved cell death, proliferation, and DNA damage. However, it could not improve the severe ATP deficit. Inhibition of gamma-secretase activity further exacerbated the overall FAD iPSC phenotype. Cortical neurons produced from the differentiation of FAD iPSCs showed Alzheimer’s pathology and TGFb pathway hyper-activation. PSEN1-mutant iPSCs may serve as a new model to perform genome-wide genetic screens and to study FAD pathophysiology and PSEN1 cellular function.

Modeling early-onset sporadic Alzheimer’s disease using iPSC-derived neurons

Project description:Non-familial Alzheimer’s disease (AD) occurring before 65 years of age is commonly referred to as early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD) and constitutes ~5-6% of all Alzheimer’s disease (AD) cases. While EOAD exhibits the same clinicopathological changes such as amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), brain atrophy, and cognitive decline as observed in the more prevalent late-onset AD (LOAD), EOAD patients tend to have more severe cognitive deficits, including visuospatial, language, and motor dysfunction. Patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been used to model and study penetrative, familial AD (FAD) mutations in APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2, but have been seldom used for sporadic forms of AD that display more heterogeneous disease manifestation. In this study, we sought to characterize iPSC-derived neurons from EOAD patients via RNA-sequencing. A modest difference in expression profiles between EOAD patients and non-demented control subjects resulted in a limited number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Based on this analysis, we provide evidence that iPSC-derived neuron model systems, likely due to the loss of EOAD-associated epigenetic signatures during the iPSC reprogramming, are not an ideal model system to study sporadic AD.

Changes to energy metabolism, and signal transduction (i.e. Notch and Wnt signalling) define the brain transcriptomic differences between mutations causative for early-onset familial Alzheimer’s disease or familial acne inversa in PRESENILIN 1

Project description:Background: Mutations in PRESENILIN 1 (PSEN1) which still produce a transcript encoding a full-length, but mutant protein are the most common cause of early-onset familial Alzheimer’s disease (EOfAD). The only frameshift mutations found in PSEN1 causes familial acne inversa (fAI) without EOfAD. The molecular consequences of heterozygosity for these mutations, and how they lead to completely different diseases, remains largely unexplored. Objective: To identify the similarities and differences of the effects of heterozygosity for mutations in psen1 causing EOfAD (T428del) or fAI (W233fs) on the brain transcriptome of young adult zebrafish. Methods: RNA sequencing was performed with high read depth on mRNA isolated from the brains of young adult (6 month old) zebrafish arising from a single family which contained either a single, heterozygous EOfAD-like or fAI-like mutation in the endogenous psen1 gene, and their wild type siblings. Results: Both mutations appeared to downregulate genes encoding the ribosomal subunits, and upregulated genes involved in inflammation. Genes involved in energy metabolism appeared to only be affected in EOfAD-like mutants, while genes involved in Notch, Wnt and neutrophin signalling pathways were only significantly altered by the fAI-like mutation. Further investigation of direct transcriptional targets of Notch revealed an apparent increase in Notch signalling. Conclusion: We observed both common, and distinct effects on transcriptomes of the heterozygous mutants compared to their wild type siblings. The distinct effects observed may shed light to how these mutations give rise to completely different diseases.
