Unique molecular features and cellular responses differentiate two populations of motor cortical Layer 5b neurons in a preclinical model of ALS.

ABSTRACT: A major paradox of neurodegenerative disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is that many genes linked to disease are ubiquitously expressed, yet only discrete subtypes of cells degenerate. Therapeutic advancement depends on understanding unique molecular responses of vulnerable cells in the context of disease-causing mutations. Here, we describe two bacTRAP lines, Gprin3 and Colgalt2, that label distinct populations of projection neurons in layer 5b (L5b) of motor cortex. We demonstrate that these cells can be distinguished not only by their anatomical features, but by their underlying molecular properties. In the SOD1*G93A preclinical ALS model, both populations showed molecular responses in common, but Gprin3 corticospinal population showed additional, unique responses in disease that may reflect their disease vulnerability since Gprin3 cells were lost during disease progression while Colgalt2 cells were spared. These results tease apart molecular pathways that may contribute to ALS pathology and provide a framework for elucidating selective vulnerability.

The regeneration transcriptome of corticospinal neurons

Project description:In the present study, we identify transcriptional mechanisms associated with corticospinal regeneration. We took advantage of the ability of NPC grafts to support corticospinal regeneration, together with a genetic mouse model (Glt25d2-GFP-L10a mice, in which a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) codes for GFP-tagged polyribosomes in layer 5b cortical neurons) to selectively enrich actively translated mRNA pools from layer Vb cortical projection neurons containing corticospinal neurons (Doyle et al., Cell 2008).

RNAseq of laser captured spinal and oculomotor neurons in post mortem material of ALS patients

Project description:Gene expression profiles of specific neuronal populations might explain differential vulnerability to neurodegeneration in the lethal disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Using laser capture microscopy (LCM) and RNA sequencing (LCM-seq), we demonstrate that the molecular signature of degeneration-resistant oculomotor neurons (OMNs) is distinct from that of vulnerable spinal motor neurons (MNs).

RNA-Seq analysis of sorted cortical projection neuron subtype specific responses in a mouse model of ALS over the course of disease progression

Project description:Neocortical hyperexcitability is a prominent feature of inherited and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and is inversely correlated with patient survival. Cell-type specific changes in neuronal function have been proposed to underlie these functional abnormalities and contribute to the selective degeneration of corticospinal and spinal motor neurons. We analyzed the physiological properties of distinct classes of neurons in the motor cortex of hSOD1G93A mice and found that they exhibit robust physiological changes that depend on disease stage. Targeted recordings and in vivo calcium imaging revealed that neurons adapt their properties to normalize cortical excitability as disease progresses. Although different neuron classes exhibited similar functional changes, transcriptional profiling and pharmacological manipulations indicate that the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes are cell-type specific. These widespread, stage-dependent alterations in neuronal function in ALS mice highlight the dynamic changes cortical circuits experience during neurodegeneration and expand potential therapeutic strategies for normalizing circuit function.

Neuronal Deficiency of Cytochrome c Oxidase Engineered by Mitochondrial DNA Editing Recapitulates Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is categorized into 10% familial and 90% sporadic cases. While the space of 10% familial ALS is crowded with mutations in many genes of diverse functions, most ALS-associated mutations could not faithfully recapitulate the disease phenotype in animal models. Remarkably, nearly half of sporadic ALS patients exhibit defective mitochondrial respiratory complex Ⅳ (CⅣ). To establish the causal role of defective CⅣ in inducing ALS, we employed TALE-based mtDNA editing to mimic ALS-linked mutations in CⅣ compared to other respiratory complexes in rat neurons and demonstrated that mutations exclusively introduced to mtDNA-encoded CⅣ subunits are sufficient to cause a full spectrum of ALS-like phenotypes, including selective motor neuron loss, SOD1 overexpression and cytosolic TDP-43 aggregation. These findings reveal a broad basis for sporadic ALS, provide critical insights into the selective motor neuron vulnerability, and present a faithful animal model for advancing ALS therapy.

Single-nucleus sequencing reveals enriched expression of genetic risk factors in Extratelencephalic Neurons sensitive to degeneration in ALS

Project description:Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterised by a progressive loss of motor function. The eponymous spinal sclerosis observed at autopsy is the result of the degeneration of extratelencephalic neurons, Betz cells (ETNs, Cortico-Spinal Motor Neuron). It remains unclear why this neuronal subtype is selectively affected. To understand the unique molecular properties that sensitise these cells to ALS, we performed RNA sequencing of 79,169 single nuclei from cortices of patients and controls. In unaffected individuals, we found that expression of ALS risk genes was significantly enriched in THY1+-ETNs and not in other cell types. In patients, these genetic risk factors, as well as genes involved in protein homeostasis and stress responses, were significantly induced in a wide collection of ETNs, but not in neurons with more superficial identities. Examination of oligodendroglial and microglial nuclei revealed patient-specific changes that were at least in part a response to alterations in neurons: downregulation of myelinating genes in oligodendrocytes and upregulation of a reactive state connected to endo-lysosomal pathways in microglia. Our findings suggest that the selective vulnerability of extratelencephalic neurons is partly connected to their intrinsic molecular properties sensitising them to genetics and mechanisms of degeneration.

Gene expression profiles of embryonic motor neurons in the SOD1G93A mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: insights into earliest pathogenesis

Project description:Although ALS typically presents in mid to late-life, there is increasing evidence for a protracted preclinical period of motor neuron dysfunction. The goal of this study is to identify the earliest gene expression patterns in lower motor neurons that drive selective neuronal vulnerability in a mouse model of ALS. We have implemented transgenic SOD1G93A with a lower motor neuron fluorescent reporter (HB9-GFP) mice to unambiguously isolate spinal motor neurons using FACS for gene expression profiling using RNA sequencing at embryonic day (E)12.5. Data from this transcriptomic study allowed the identification of disturbance in MN homeostasis which occur at the day of birth of spinal motor neurons in SOD1G93A mice. Pathway analysis uncovered several remarkably dysregulated pathways including RNA metabolism disturbance and excitotoxicity. Our findings have the potential to reveal insights into the incipient molecular mechanisms that confer motor neuron vulnerability and therefore may highlight relevant gene targets and pathways for effective intervention in ALS.
