Targeting MLKL alleviates neuroinflammation and prevents motor neuron damage in Parkinson’s traits

ABSTRACT: Neuroinflammatory processes are a prominent contributor to the pathology of Parkinson’s disease (PD), characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) and deposits of α-synuclein aggregates. MLKL-mediated cell necroptosis might occur in the onset of PD and lead to neuronal dopaminergic degeneration. However, the link between α-synuclein, neuroinflammatory processes, and neurodegeneration in PD remains unclear. Here, our in vitro study indicated that inhibition of MLKL exerted a protective effect against 6-OHDA- and TNF-α-induced neuronal cell death. Furthermore, we created a mouse model (Tg-Mlkl-/-) with typical progressive Parkinson traits by crossbreeding SNCA A53T transgenic mice with MLKL knockout mice. Tg-Mlkl-/ mice displayed dramatically improved motor symptoms and reduced hyperphosphorylated α-synuclein expression. More data suggested that MLKL deficiency protected dopaminergic neurons, blocked neuronal cell death, and attenuated neuroinflammation by inhibiting the activation of the microglia and astrocytes. Single-cell RNA-seq analysis revealed reduced microglial cells and damped neuron death in the SN of the Tg-Mlkl-/- mice. Subcluster analysis identified a unique cell type-specific transcriptome profiling in the MLKL deficiency mice. Thus, MLKL represents a critical therapeutic target for reducing neuroinflammation and preventing dopaminergic neuron degeneration.

Zinc finger protein 184 prevents α-synuclein preformed fibril-mediated neurodegeneration through the interleukin enhancer binding factor 3-microRNA-7 pathway

Project description:Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a loss of dopaminergic neurons. Recent studies suggested the association of zinc finger protein 184 (ZNF184) with PD. However, the functional role of ZNF184 in PD pathogenesis remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to confirm this association and the effects of ZNF184 in a mouse model of PD and human patients with PD.We found that ZNF184 levels were decreased in the substantia nigra (SN) of α-synuclein preformed fibril (α-syn PFF)-injected mice and cells treated with PD toxins. Furthermore, ZNF184 was reduced in the cortex and SN of patients with PD, suggesting an association between ZNF184 and PD pathogenesis. In ZNF184-overexpressing cells, RNA-sequencing analysis revealed significant alterations in several protein-coding genes including interleukin enhancer binding factor 3 (ILF3). Bioinformatic analysis identified potential ZNF184 binding motifs within the ILF3 promoter, and ZNF184 occupancy was confirmed. Since ILF3 inhibits the biogenesis of microRNA-7 (miR-7), which regulates α-synuclein aggregation, we administered the miR-7 inducer, scutellarin to α-syn PFF-injected mice, preventing dopaminergic neuron and reinstating motor abilities. Our findings suggest that ZNF184 promotes miR-7 upregulation by suppressing ILF3 transcription, revealing a novel pathway that could serve as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of PD.

Expression data from fibroblasts, iPSCs and neurons with four copies of SNCA, and equivalent cell lines from an unaffected first degree relative

Project description:A major barrier to research on Parkinson’s disease (PD) is inaccessibility of diseased tissue for study. One solution is to derive induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from patients with PD and differentiate them into neurons affected by disease. We created an iPSC model of PD caused by triplication of SNCA encoding α-synuclein. α-Synuclein dysfunction is common to all forms of PD, and SNCA triplication leads to fully penetrant familial PD with accelerated pathogenesis. After differentiation of iPSCs into neurons enriched for midbrain dopaminergic subtypes, those from the patient contain double α-synuclein protein compared to those from an unaffected relative, precisely recapitulating the cause of PD in these individuals. A measurable biomarker makes this model ideal for drug screening for compounds that reduce levels of α-synuclein, and for mechanistic experiments to study PD pathogenesis. This gene expression microarray study was carried out as part of the validation process for demonstrating that the generated iPSC lines are pluripotent. 15 samples were analysed: the two parent fibroblast lines (AST denoting alpha-synuclein triplication and NAS denoting normal alpha-synuclein), two iPSC lines from each parent fibroblast line (four in total), a human embryonic stem cell line (SHEF4) and eight neuronal samples (each iPSC line differentiated into a neuronal population enriched for dopaminergic neurons, at two different time points).

Evidence for immune response, axonal dysfunction and reduced endocytosis preceding Lewy body pathology in the substantia nigra in Parkinson’s disease

Project description:Subjects with incidental Lewy body disease (iLBD) may represent the premotor stage of Parkinson’s disease (PD). To identify molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal dysfunction and alpha--synuclein pathology in the premotor phase of PD, we investigated the transcriptome of post-mortem substantia nigra (SN) of iLBD, PD donors and age-matched controls with Braak alpha--synuclein stage ranging from 0-6. In Braak alpha--synuclein stages 1 and 2, we observed deregulation of pathways linked to axonal degeneration, unfolded protein response (UPR), immune response and endocytosis, including axonal guidance signaling, protein kinase A signaling, mTOR signaling, EIF2 signaling and clathrin-mediated endocytosis. In Braak stages 3 and 4, we observed a deregulation in pathways involved in protein translation and cell survival, including mTOR and EIF2 signaling. In Braak stages 5 and 6, we observed deregulation of pathways such as dopaminergic signaling, axonal guidance signaling and thrombin signaling. Throughout the progression of PD pathology, we observed a deregulation of mTOR, EIF2 and regulation of eIF4 and p70S6K signaling in the SN. This implicates that molecular mechanisms related to UPR, axonal dysfunction, endocytosis and immune response are an early event in PD pathology, and may hold the key to altering the disease progression in PD.

GPR40 Agonist ameliorates neurodegeneration and motor impairment by regulating NLRP3 inflammasome in Parkinson’s disease animal models.

Project description:Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SN) and accumulation of intracellular α-synuclein aggregates known as Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites. Levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are reduced in the SN of PD patients and G protein-coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) serves as a receptor for PUFAs, playing a role in neurodevelopment and neurogenesis. Additionally, GPR40 is implicated in neuropathological conditions such as apoptosis and inflammation, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target in PD. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of the GPR40 agonist, TUG469, in PD models. Our results demonstrate that TUG469 reduces neurotoxicity induced by 6-OHDA in SH-SY5Y cells. In the 6-OHDA-induced PD model, TUG469 treatment improved motor impairment, preserved dopaminergic fibers and cell bodies in the striatum (ST) or SN, and attenuated 6-OHDA-induced microgliosis and astrogliosis in the brain. Furthermore, in a PD model involving the injection of mouse ɑ-syn fibrils into the brain (mPFFs-PD model), TUG469 treatment reduced the level of phosphorylated Ser129 ɑ-synuclein and decreased microgliosis and astrogliosis in mPFFs-PD model. Our investigation also revealed that TUG469 modulates inflammasome activation, apoptosis, and autophagy in the 6-OHDA-PD model, as evidenced by RNA-seq analysis and western blotting. In summary, our findings highlight the neuroprotective effects of GPR40 agonist on dopaminergic neurons and their potential as therapeutic agents for PD. These results underscore the importance of targeting GPR40 in PD treatment, particularly in mitigating neuroinflammation and preserving neuronal integrity.

Mass spectrometry-based proteomics analysis of human substantia nigra from Parkinson's disease patients identifies multiple pathways potentially involved in the disease

Project description:Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) of the brain. Despite decades of studies, the precise pathogenic mechanism of PD is still elusive. An unbiased proteomic analysis of PD patients’ brains allows the identification of critical proteins and molecular pathways that lead to dopamine cell death and α-synuclein deposition and the resulting devastating clinical symptoms. In this study, we conducted an in-depth proteome analysis of human SN tissues from 15 PD patients and 15 healthy control (HC) individuals combining Orbitrap mass spectrometry with the isobaric tandem mass tag (TMT)-based multiplexing technology. We identified 10,040 proteins with 1,140 differentially expressed proteins in the SN of PD patients. Pathway analysis showed that the ribosome pathway was the most enriched one, followed by GABAergic synapse, retrograde endocannabinoid signaling, cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), morphine addiction, Prion disease, and Parkinson's disease pathways. Strikingly, the majority of the proteins enriched in the ribosome pathway were mitochondrial ribosomal proteins (mitoribosomes; MRPs). The subsequent protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis and the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) confirmed that the mitoribosome is the most enriched protein cluster. Furthermore, the mitoribosome was also identified in our analysis of a replication set of 10 PD and 9 HC SN tissues. This study provides potential disease pathways involved in PD and paves the way to study further the pathogenic mechanism of PD.

SNP data from genomic DNA from a subject, fibroblasts, iPSCs and neurons with four copies of SNCA, and genomic DNA from an unaffected first degree relative and equivalent cell lines

Project description:A major barrier to research on Parkinson’s disease (PD) is inaccessibility of diseased tissue for study. One solution is to derive induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from patients with PD and differentiate them into neurons affected by disease. We created an iPSC model of PD caused by triplication of SNCA encoding ?-synuclein. ?-Synuclein dysfunction is common to all forms of PD, and SNCA triplication leads to fully penetrant familial PD with accelerated pathogenesis. After differentiation of iPSCs into neurons enriched for midbrain dopaminergic subtypes, those from the patient contain double ?-synuclein protein compared to those from an unaffected relative, precisely recapitulating the cause of PD in these individuals. A measurable biomarker makes this model ideal for drug screening for compounds that reduce levels of ?-synuclein, and for mechanistic experiments to study PD pathogenesis. This SNP microarray study was carried out to confirm presence of SNCA triplication in the affected subject and the derived cell lines. 11 samples were analysed: genomic DNA from the two subjects in the study, the two parent fibroblast lines (AST denoting alpha-synuclein triplication and NAS denoting normal alpha-synuclein), two iPSC lines from each parent fibroblast line (four in total), a human embryonic stem cell line (SHEF4) and two neuronal samples one each from AST and NAS iPSCs).

Phenotypic manifestation of alpha-synuclein strains from Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy in human dopaminergic neruons

Project description:Although α-synucleinis implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and related disorders, it remains unclear whether specific conformations or levels of α-synuclein assemblies are toxic and how they cause progressive loss of human dopaminergic neurons. To address this issue, we used iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons with a-synuclein triplication or controls where endogenous α-synuclein was imprinted into synthetic or disease-relevant conformations. We used α-synuclein fibrils generated de novo or amplified from homogenates of brains affected with Parkinson’s disease (n=3) .We found that a 2.5-fold increase in α-synuclein levels in α-synuclein gene triplication neurons promoted seeded aggregation in a dose and time-dependent fashion, which was associated with a further increase in α-synuclein gene expression.Transcriptomic analysis and isogenic correction of α-synuclein triplication revealed that intraneuronal α-synuclein levels solely and sufficiently explained vulnerability to cell death.

Alpha-Synuclein pathology and reduced neurogenesis in the olfactory system affect olfaction in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease

Project description:Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by multiple symptoms including olfactory dysfunction, whose underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we explored pathologic changes in the olfactory pathway of transgenic (Tg) mice of both sexes expressing the human A30P mutant α-synuclein (α-syn; α-syn-Tg mice) at 6–7 and 12–14 months of age, representing early and late-stages of motor progression, respectively. α-Syn-Tg mice at late stages exhibited olfactory behavioral deficits, which correlated with severe α-syn pathology in projection neurons (PNs) of the olfactory pathway. In parallel, olfactory bulb (OB) neurogenesis in α-syn-Tg mice was reduced in the OB granule cells at six to seven months and OB periglomerular cells at 12–14 months, respectively, both of which could contribute to olfactory dysfunction. Proteomic analyses showed a disruption in endocytic and exocytic pathways in the OB during the early stages which appeared exacerbated at the synaptic terminals when the mice developed olfactory deficits at 12–14 months. Our data suggest that (1) the α-syn-Tg mice recapitulate the olfactory functional deficits seen in PD; (2) olfactory structures exhibit spatiotemporal disparities for vulnerability to α-syn pathology; (3) α-syn pathology is restricted to projection neurons in the olfactory pathway; (4) neurogenesis in adult α-syn-Tg mice is reduced in the OB; and (5) synaptic endocytosis and exocytosis defects in the OB may further explain olfactory deficits.
