Human iPSC 4R tauopathy model uncovers modifiers of tau propagation [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Tauopathies are age-associated neurodegenerative diseases whose mechanistic underpinnings remain elusive, partially due to lack of appropriate human models. Here, we engineered new human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neuronal lines to express 4R Tau and 4R Tau carrying the P301S MAPT mutation when differentiated into neurons. 4R-P301S neurons display progressive Tau inclusions upon seeding with Tau fibrils and recapitulate features of tauopathy phenotypes including shared transcriptomic signatures, autophagic body accumulation, and reduced neuronal activity. A CRISPRi screen of genes associated with Tau pathobiology identified over 500 genetic modifiers of seeding-induced Tau propagation, including retromer VPS29 and genes in the UFMylation cascade. In progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) brains, the UFMylation cascade is altered in neurofibrillary-tangle-bearing neurons. Inhibiting the UFMylation cascade in vitro and in vivo suppressed seeding-induced Tau propagation. This model provides a robust platform to identify novel therapeutic strategies for 4R tauopathy.

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.

Amelioration of autism-like social deficits by targeting histone methyltransferases EHMT1/2 in Shank3-deficient mice

Project description:Many of the genes disrupted in autism are identified as histone-modifying enzymes and chromatin remodelers, most prominently those that mediate histone methylation/demethylation. However, the role of histone methylation enzymes in the pathophysiology and treatment of autism remains unknown. To address this, we used mouse models of haploinsufficiency of the Shank3 gene (a highly penetrant monogenic autism risk factor), which exhibits prominent autism-like social deficits. We found that histone methyltransferases EHMT1 and EHMT2, as well as histone lysine 9 dimethylation (specifically catalyzed by EHMT1/2), were selectively increased in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of Shank3-deficient mice and autistic human postmortem brains. Treatment with the EHMT1/2 inhibitor UNC0642 or knockdown of EHMT1/2 in PFC induced a robust rescue of autism-like social deficits in Shank3-deficient mice, and restored NMDAR-mediated synaptic function. Activityregulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc) was identified as one of the causal factors underlying the rescuing effects of UNC0642 on NMDAR function and social behaviors in Shank3-deficient mice. UNC0642 treatment also restored a large set of genes involved in neural signaling in PFC of Shank3-deficient mice. These results suggest that targeting histone methylation enzymes to adjust gene expression and ameliorate synaptic defects could be a potential therapeutic strategy for autism.

Chronic intermittent hypoxia enhances pathological tau seeding, propagation, and accumulation, and exacerbates Alzheimer’s-like memory and synaptic plasticity deficits and molecular signatures

Project description:Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), characterized by sleep fragmentation and chronic intermittenthypoxia (CIH), is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression. Recent epidemiologicalstudies point to CIH as the best predictor of developing cognitive decline and AD in elderly withOSA. However, the precise underlying mechanism(s) remain unknown. The present study wasundertaken to evaluate the effect of CIH on pathological human tau seeding, propagation, andaccumulation, cognition, synaptic plasticity, neuronal network excitability, and gene expressionprofiles in a P301S human mutant tau mouse model of AD and related tauopathies. We exposed 4-4.5-month-old, male, P301S and WT mice to an 8-week CIH protocol (6 min cycle:21% O 2 to 8% O 2 to 21% O 2 , 80 cycles per 8 h during daytime), and assessed its effect on taupathology and various AD-related phenotypic and molecular signatures. Age- and gender-matched P301S and WT mice were reared in normoxia (21% O 2 ) as experimental controls. CIH significantly enhanced pathological human tau seeding and spread across connected brain circuitry in P301S mice; it also increased phospho-tau load. CIH also exacerbated memory and synaptic plasticity deficits in P301S mice. However, CIH had no effect on seizure susceptibility and network hyperexcitability in these mice. Finally, CIH exacerbated AD-related pathogenic molecular signaling in P301S mice. CIH-induced increase in pathologic human tau seeding and spread and exacerbation of other AD- related impairments provide new insights into the role of CIH and OSA in AD pathogenesis.
