Project description:LUHMES cells share many characteritics with human dopamingeric neurons in the substantia nigra, the cells whose demise is responsible for the motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD). LUHMES cells can therefore be used bona fide as a model to study pathophysiological processes involved in PD. Previously, we showed that LUHMES cell degenerate after six days upon overexpression of wild type alpha-synuclein. In the present study we performed a transcriptome and proteome expression analysis in alpha-synuclein-overexpressing cells and GFP-expressing control cells in order to identify genes and proteins that are differentially regulated upon overexpression of alpha-synuclein. The analysis was performed four days after the initiation of alpha-synuclein or GFP overexpression, before the cells died in order to identify processes that preceded cell death.

LUHMES cells can, therefore, be used bona fide as a model to study pathophysiological processes involved in PD.

In the present study, we performed a transcriptome and proteome expression analysis in alpha-synuclein-overexpressing cells and GFP-expressing control cells in order to identify genes and proteins that are differentially regulated upon overexpression of alpha-synuclein. The analysis was performed 4 days after the initiation of alpha-synuclein or GFP overexpression, before the cells died, in order to identify processes that preceded cell death. After adjustments for multiple testing, we found 765 genes being differentially regulated (439 upregulated, 326 downregulated) and 122 proteins being differentially expressed (75 upregulated, 47 downregulated). In total, 21 genes and corresponding proteins were significantly differentially regulated in the same direction in both datasets, of these 13 were upregulated and 8 were downregulated. In total, 13 genes and 9 proteins were differentially regulated in our cell model, which had been previously associated with PD in recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS). In the gene ontology (GO) analysis of all upregulated genes, the top terms were "regulation of cell death," "positive regulation of programmed cell death," and "regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway," showing a regulation of cell death-associated genes and proteins already 2 days before the cells started to die. In the GO analysis of the regulated proteins, among the strongest enriched GO terms were "vesicle," "synapse," and "lysosome." In total, 33 differentially regulated proteins were associated with synapses, and 12 differentially regulated proteins were associated with the "lysosome", suggesting that these intracellular mechanisms, which had been previously associated with PD, also play an important role in our cell model.

Project description:Although Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most rapidly growing neurological disorders, interindividual differences in PD etiology related to genetics are not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate genome-wide DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation alterations associated with overexpression of two PD-linked alpha-synuclein variants (wild type and A30P) in LUHMES cells differentiated to dopaminergic neurons. Alpha-synuclein altered DNA methylation at thousands of CpGs and DNA hydroxymethylation at hundreds of CpGs in both genotypes, and primarily at locomotor and glutamate signaling pathway genes. In some cases, epigenetic changes were associated with transcription. SMITE network analysis incorporating H3K4me1 ChIP-seq to score DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation changes across promoters, enhancers, and gene bodies confirmed epigenetic and transcriptional deregulation of glutamate signaling modules in both genotypes. Our results identify distinct and shared impacts of alpha-synuclein variants on the epigenome, and associate alpha-synuclein in the epigenetic etiology of PD.

Project description:Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) is part of a common type of neurodegenerative disease. AVE0991, a non-peptide analogue of Ang-(1-7), by which the progression of PD has been discovered to be ameliorated, but the specific mechanism whereby AVE0991 modulates the progression of PD remains unclear. Materials and Methods: During the study, the mice overexpressing of human α-syn(A53T) were established to simulate PD pathology, and we also constructed an in vitro model of mouse dopaminergic neurons overexpressing hα-syn(A53T). The [18F] FDG-PET/CT method was also employed to assess FDG uptake in human α-syn(A53T) overexpressing mice. Level of Lnc HOTAIRM1, miR-223-3p were detected via RT-qPCR. Flow cytometry was deployed to assay cell apoptosis. Results: AVE0991 improved behavior disorder and decreased α-syn expression in the substantia nigra in mice with Parkinson's disease. AVE0991 inhibited apoptosis of dopaminergic neurons overexpressing hα-syn(A53T) by LncRNA HOTAIRM1. MiR-223-3p binds to HOTAIRM1 as a ceRNA and directly targets α-syn. Conclusion: The angiotensin-(1–7) analogue AVE0991 targeted the HOTAIRM1/miR-223-3p axis to degrade α-synuclein in PD mice, and showed neuroprotection in vitro.

Project description:We conducted a screening for nuclear proteins which interact with α-synuclein by mass-spectrometry. As a result, we found that α-synuclein interact with BAF complex. Furthermore, overexpressed α-synuclein increased global H4R3me2s by promoting interaction between BAF complex and PRMT5 in cultered cells. In this study, we explored the influence of overexpressed α-synuclein on H4R3me2s by ChIP-seq using anti-H4R3me2s antibody.

Project description:Alpha-synuclein is an abundant protein implicated in synaptic function and plasticity, but the molecular mechanism of its action is not understood. Missense mutations and gene duplication/triplication events result in Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder of old age with impaired movement and emotion control. Here, we systematically investigated the striatal as well as the cerebellar transcriptome profile of alpha-synuclein-deficient mice via a genome-wide microarray survey in order to gain hypothesis-free molecular insights into the physiological function of alpha-synuclein. A genotype-dependent, specific and strong downregulation of forkhead box P1 (Foxp1) transcript levels was observed in all brain regions from postnatal age until old age and could be validated by qPCR. In view of the co-localization and heterodimer formation of FOXP1 with FOXP2, a transcription factor with a well established role for vocalization, and the reported regulation of both alpha-synuclein and FOXP2 expression during avian song learning, we performed a detailed assessment of mouse movements and vocalizations in the postnatal period. While there was no difference in isolation-induced behavioral activity in these animals, the alpha-synuclein-deficient mice exhibited an increased production of isolation-induced ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs). This phenotype might also reflect the reduced expression of the anxiety-related GABA-A receptor subunit gamma 2 (Gabrg2) we observed. Taken together, we identified an early behavioral consequence of alpha-synuclein deficiency and accompanying molecular changes, which supports the notion that the neural connectivity of sound or emotion control systems is affected.
