Single-cell transcriptomics of mammalian prion diseases identifies dynamic gene signatures shared between species [human_scRNAseq]

ABSTRACT: Mammalian prion diseases are fatal and transmissible neurological conditions caused by the propagation of prions, self-replicating multimeric assemblies of misfolded forms of host cellular prion protein. Despite extensive studies investigating the changes in transcriptional profiles in prion diseases the mechanisms by which prion diseases induce cellular toxicity, including changes in gene expression profiles are yet to be fully characterized. Here, we took advantage of the recent developments in single-cell technologies and performed an unbiased whole-transcriptome single-nucleus transcriptomic analysis in prion disease.

Transcription profiling of mouse brain infected with prions in eight mouse-prion strain combinations in a systems approach to the study of prion disease

Project description:Prions cause transmissible neurodegenerative diseases and replicate by conformational conversion of normal, benign forms of prion protein (PrPC) to disease-causing PrPSc isoforms. A systems approach to disease postulates that disease arises from the pathological perturbation (genetic and/or environmental) of one or more biological networks in the relevant organ. In this regard, we tracked global (all mRNA transcripts) gene expression in the brains of eight distinct mouse strain-prion strain combinations at 8 - 10 time points throughout the progression of the disease to capture the effects of prion strain, host genetics, and PrP concentration on disease incubation time.

Transcriptional signature of prion-induced neurotoxicity in a Drosophila model of transmissible mammalian prion disease

Project description:Prion diseases are fatal transmissible neurodegenerative conditions of humans and animals that arise through neurotoxicity induced by PrP misfolding. The cellular and molecular mechanisms of prion-induced neurotoxicity remain undefined. Understanding these processes will underpin therapeutic and control strategies for human and animal prion diseases, respectively. Prion diseases are difficult to study in their natural hosts and require the use of tractable animal models. Here we used RNA-Seq-based transcriptome analysis of prion-exposed Drosophila to probe the mechanism of prion-induced neurotoxicity. Adult Drosophila transgenic for pan neuronal expression of ovine PrP targeted to the plasma membrane exhibit a neurotoxic phenotype evidenced by decreased locomotor activity after exposure to ovine prions at the larval stage. Pathway analysis and quantitative PCR of genes differentially expressed in prion-infected Drosophila revealed up-regulation of cell cycle activity and DNA damage response, followed by down-regulation of eIF2 and mTOR signalling. Mitochondrial dysfunction was identified as the principal toxicity pathway in prion-exposed PrP transgenic Drosophila. The transcriptomic changes we observed were specific to PrP targeted to the plasma membrane since these prion-induced gene expression changes were not evident in similarly-treated Drosophila transgenic for cytosolic pan neuronal PrP expression, or in non-transgenic control flies. Collectively, our data indicate that aberrant cell cycle activity, repression of protein synthesis and altered mitochondrial function are key events involved in prion-induced neurotoxicity, and correlate with those identified in mammalian hosts undergoing prion disease. These studies highlight the use of PrP transgenic Drosophila as a genetically well-defined tractable host to study mammalian prion biology.

Transcriptomic Responses to Prion Disease in Rats

Transcriptomic Responses to Prion Disease in Rats

Project description:While prion infections have been extensively characterized in the laboratory mouse, little is known regarding the molecular responses to prions in other rodents. To explore these responses and make comparisons, we generated a prion disease in the laboratory rat by successive passage of mouse RML prions. Here we describe the accumulation of prions and associated pathology in the rat and describe the transcriptional impact throughout prion disease. Comparative transcriptional profiling between laboratory mice and rats suggests that similar molecular processes are unfolding in response to prion infection. At the level of individual transcripts, however, variability exists between mice and rats and many genes deregulated in mouse scrapie are not affected in rats. Notwithstanding these differences, many transcriptome responses are conserved between mice and rats infected with scrapie. Our findings highlight the usefulness of comparative approaches to understanding neurodegeneration and prion diseases in particular. We Adapted RML Mouse Scrapie into Rats and measured the resulting gene expression changes in brain as a result of disease progression. Rats were infected by intracranial inoculation with prion isolates obtained by adaptation of mouse RML scrapie prions into rats. Brain samples were collected from third and fourth passage infected rats and age-matched controls at specified timepoints and gene expression profiles obtained. For each time point, 3 diseased and control brain samples were profiled.

Gene expression data from spleen, cervical spinal cord, and thalamic regions of ME7-inoculated mouse

Project description:An essential and remarkable process of the biochemical and physiological features in prion diseases is the conversion of a host-encoded prion protein (PrPC) into a misfolded isoform (PrPSc). The conversion of PrPC and the replication of prions, in cases of peripheral infection, occur following the uptake and subsequent spread of prions to brain via spinal cord. We investigated the changes of gene expression profiles in the spleen, cervical spinal cord and thalamus following intraperitoneal inoculation of ME7 scrapie prion and the inter-tissue alterations of the differentially expressed genes through Venn diagram to find genes which are commonly influenced by ME7 scrapie prion spread in the three tissues.

A bacterial global regulator forms a prion

Project description:Prions are self-propagating protein aggregates that act as protein-based genetic elements in fungi. Although prevalent in eukaryotes, prions have not been identified in bacteria. Here we demonstrate that a bacterial protein, transcription terminator Rho of Clostridium botulinum (Cb-Rho), can form a prion. Specifically, we identify a candidate prion-forming domain (cPrD) in Cb-Rho and show that it confers amyloidogenicity on Cb-Rho and can functionally replace the PrD of a yeast prion-forming protein. Furthermore, we show that its cPrD enables Cb-Rho to access alternative conformations in bacteria, a soluble form that terminates transcription efficiently and an aggregated, self-propagating prion form that is functionally compromised, causing genome-wide changes in the transcriptome. Thus, Cb-Rho functions as a protein-based genetic element in bacteria, suggesting that the emergence of prions predates the evolutionary split between eukaryotes and bacteria.

Gene expression imprinting of N2a sublines upon infection with the prion strain 22L

Project description:Cell culture models allow prion propagation studies ex vivo after contact with infectious brain homogenates. To date, among the neural cell lines, the mouse neuroblastoma-derived cell line N2a has been one of the most widely used model and has yet provided interesting insights into cell biology of prion propagation. Remarkably, persistently-infected N2a sublines have been set up and replicate prions without exhibiting any pathological changes. One further interesting feature of N2a is the possibility to establish by subcloning, sublines with a range of susceptibility to prions. Indeed, susceptible sublines propagate prions and accumulate the pathogenic isoform of the prion protein, PrPSc, at the opposite of resistant sublines. The aim of our study was to apply large-scale expression analysis using microarrays combined with quantitative real-time PCR to examine the gene expression profile in a persistently-infected N2a cell line, N2a58, infected with the mouse-adapted prion strain 22L, to seek for prion-specific gene transcription. We also questioned if we could observe identical variations of expression of these genes in three other 22L-infected N2a sublines. Finally, we examined the transcriptional state of a N2a subline considered as resistant when exposed to prions. Common pathways of gene transcription would disclose information on the molecular basis of the cell infection and help to identify potential therapeutic targets. Keywords: other
