Project description:Tau is encoded by MAPT and abnormal aggregates of tau are a hallmark of a group of neurodegenerative diseases called tauopathies. MAPT is lowly expressed in neural progenitor cells (NPCs), but it is more highly expressed in oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and neurons that derive from NPCs. This expression switch at differentiation suggests that MAPT expression is controlled by transcription factors and cis-regulatory elements specific to these differentiated cell types, including neurons.

Project description:Tau is a microtubule-associated protein (MAPT, tau) implicated in the pathogenesis of Tauopathies, a spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by accumulation of hyperphosphorylated, aggregated tau. Because tau pathology can be distinct across diseases, a pragmatic therapeutic approach may be to intervene at the level of the tau transcript, as it makes no assumptions to mechanisms of tau toxicity. Here we performed a large library screen of locked-nucleic acid-modified antisense oligonucleotides (LNA-ASOs), where careful tiling of the MAPT locus resulted in the identification of hot spots for activity in the 3’UTR. Further modifications to the LNA design resulted in the generation of ASO-001933, which selectively and potently reduces tau in primary cultures from hTau mice, monkey, and human neurons. ASO-001933 was well-tolerated and produced a robust, long lasting reduction in tau protein in both mouse and cynomolgus monkey brain. In monkey, tau protein reduction was maintained in brain for 20 weeks post-injection and corresponded with tau protein reduction in the CSF. Our results demonstrate that LNA-ASOs exhibit excellent drug-like properties and sustained efficacy likely translating to infrequent, intrathecal dosing in patients. These data further support the development of LNA-ASOs against tau for the treatment of tauopathies.

Project description:The development of an effective therapy against tauopathies like Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) remains challenging, partly due to limited access to fresh brain tissue, the lack of translational in vitro disease models and the fact that underlying molecular pathways remain to be deciphered. Several genes play an important role in the pathogenesis of AD and FTD, one of them being the MAPT gene encoding the microtubule-associated protein tau. Over the past few years, it has been shown that induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) can be used to model various human disorders and can serve as translational in vitro tools. Therefore, we generated iPSC harboring the pathogenic FTDP-17 (frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17) associated mutations IVS10+16 with and without P301S in MAPT using Zinc Finger Nuclease technology. Whole transcriptome analysis of MAPT IVS10+16 neurons reveals neuronal subtype differences, reduced neural progenitor proliferation potential and aberrant WNT signaling. Notably, all phenotypes were recapitulated using patient-derived neurons. Finally, an additional P301S mutation causes an increased calcium bursting frequency, reduced lysosomal acidity and tau oligomerization. Altogether, these tau mutant iPSC lines allow us to study IVS10+16 and P301S mutations in an isogenic background and to unravel a potential link between pathogenic 4R tau expression and FTDP-17.

Project description:Mapttm1(EGFP)Klt/J mice (Mapt-EGFP; The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME, USA; stock 004779) carry a knock-in of the EGFP coding sequence in the first exon of the microtubule-associated protein tau (Mapt) gene producing a cytoplasmic EGFP fused to the first 31 amino acids of MAPT. EGFP expression marks neurons including enteric neurons regardless of their lineage, closely patterning the expression of neuron-specific beta-tubulin III (TUBB3). Mapt-EGFP ice were backcrossed to C57BL/6J (Jackson Laboratory strain #:000664) for three to five generations at Mayo Clinic. Six male and six female Mapt-EGFP mice (54-98 days of age) underwent surgical laparotomy in 3 groups (surgery #1: 1 male and 1 female, surgery #2: 3 males and 1 female, surgery #3: 2 males and 4 females) under pentobarbital (50mg/kg) anesthesia. The celiac ganglion of each mouse was injected with 3-5 μL of 25 mg/mL Alexa Fluor 647-labeled cholera toxin subunit B (CTB-AF647; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) with the intention of labeling the cell soma of intestinofugal neurons in the myenteric plexus of the colon. The animals were killed 3-4 days after surgery. The muscularis externa of the colon from each Mapt-EGFP mouse was pooled together between all mice of the same surgery date (2, 4, and 6 mice) and mechanically and enzymatically dissociated into single cells with a two-step process that first enriches for cells within myenteric ganglia (PMCID: PMC8114175). The pooled cells from each group of mice formed one biological replicate and subjected to FACS immediately after dissociation to generate populations of Mapt-EGFP+ neurons with or without the CTB-AF647 tracer and Mapt-EGFP− non-neuronal cells. The frequency of Mapt-EGFP+CTB-AF647+ neurons was approximately 125-fold lower than that of Mapt-EGFP+CTB-AF647− neurons and RNA from these preparations did not pass quality control. Therefore, only data from Mapt-EGFP+CTB-AF647− neurons were analyzed and referred to as Mapt-EGFP+ cells. Total RNA was isolated from Mapt-EGFP+ colonic neurons and Mapt-EGFP− myenteric cells using RNA-Bee (AMSBIO, Cambridge, MA, USA) and purified with RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD, USA). RNA quality was tested using Agilent Electropherogram (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430.2 gene expression microarrays (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). This study utilized Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430.2 oligonucleotide microarray analysis to charaterize the transcriptome of Mapt-EGFP+ neurons and Mapt-EGFP- non-neuronal myenteric cells isolated from the colon of Mapttm1(EGFP)Klt/J mice.
