Loss of TDP-43 causes ectopic endothelial sprouting and migration defects through increased fibronectin, vcam 1 and integrin α4/β1

ABSTRACT: Aggregation of the Tar DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43) is a pathological hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and likely contributes to disease by loss of nuclear function. Analysis of TDP-43 function in knockout zebrafish identified an endothelial directional migration and hypersprouting phenotype during development prior lethality. In human umbilical vein cells (HUVEC) the loss of TDP-43 leads to hyperbranching. We identified elevated expression of FIBRONECTIN 1 (FN1), the VASCULAR CELL ADHESION MOLECULE 1 (VCAM1), as well as their receptor INTEGRIN α4β1 (ITGA4B1) in HUVEC cells. Importantly, reducing the levels of ITGA4, FN1, and VCAM1 homologues in the TDP-43 loss-of-function zebrafish rescues the angiogenic defects indicating the conservation of human and zebrafish TDP-43 function during angiogenesis. Our study identifies a novel pathway regulated by TDP-43 important for angiogenesis during development.

Endothelial TDP-43 controls sprouting angiogenesis and vascular barrier integrity, and its deletion triggers neuroinflammation

Project description:TDP-43 is a DNA/RNA-binding protein that regulates gene expression and its malfunction in neurons has been causally associated with multiple neurodegenerative disorders. Although progress has been made in understanding the functions of TDP-43 in neurons, little is known about its role in endothelial cells (ECs), angiogenesis and vascular function. Using inducible EC-specific TDP-43 knockout mice, we show that TDP-43 is required for sprouting angiogenesis, vascular barrier integrity and blood vessel stability. Postnatal EC-specific deletion of TDP-43 leads to retinal hypovascularization due to defects in vessel sprouting associated with reduced EC proliferation and migration. In mature blood vessels, loss of TDP-43 disrupts the blood-brain barrier and triggers vascular degeneration. These vascular defects are associated with an inflammatory response in the central-nervous system with activation of microglia and astrocytes. Mechanistically, deletion of TDP-43 disrupts fibronectin matrix around sprouting vessels and reduces -catenin signaling in ECs. Together, our results indicate that TDP-43 is essential for the formation of a stable and mature vasculature.

Loss of Tdp-43 disrupts the axonal transcriptome of motoneurons accompanied by impaired axonal translation and mitochondria function

Project description:Protein inclusions containing the RNA-binding protein TDP-43 are a pathological hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other neurodegenerative disorders. The loss of TDP-43 function that is associated with these inclusions affects post-transcriptional processing of RNAs in multiple ways including pre-mRNA splicing, nucleocytoplasmic transport, modulation of mRNA stability and translation. In contrast, less is known about the role of TDP-43 in axonal RNA metabolism in motoneurons. Here we show that depletion of Tdp-43 in primary motoneurons affects axon growth. This defect is accompanied by subcellular transcriptome alterations in the axonal and somatodendritic compartment. The axonal localization of transcripts encoding components of the cytoskeleton, the translational machinery and transcripts involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism were particularly affected by loss of Tdp-43. Accordingly, we observed reduced protein synthesis and disturbed mitochondrial functions in axons of Tdp-43-depleted motoneurons. Treatment with nicotinamide rescued the axon growth defect associated with loss of Tdp-43. These results show that Tdp-43 depletion in motoneurons affects several pathways integral to axon health indicating that loss of TDP-43 function could thus make a major contribution to axonal pathomechanisms in ALS.

TDP-43 Neurotoxicity in late D. melanogaster pupae

Project description:The aim of this study is to understand the mechanisms of TDP-43 neurotoxicity. Here, we perform a RNA-Seq analysis in TDP-43 gain-of-fucntion (GOF) , TDP-43 loss-of-function and wild-type late pupae heads (73-90 hours APF) and perform TDP-43 GOF vs wild type and TDP-43 LOF vs wild-type differential expression analysis to show that both mechanisms presents defects in ecdysone receptor (ECR)-dependeint transcriptional program switching, and strongly deregulate expression from the neuronal microtubule associated protien Map205. RNA-seq was performed in two wild-type D.melanogaster biological replicates (Canton S, w1118 ), four biological replicates for TDP-43 (LOF) with two distinct genotypes (dTDP-43Δ142/Df(2R)106,dTDP-43Δ23/Δ142 ) and two TDP-43 GOF biological replicates (act5c>dTDP-43 ).

Expression Profiling of Caenorabditis elegans tdp-1 loss-of-function mutant

Project description:Transactive response DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43), a heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) with diverse activities, is a common denominator in several neurodegenerative disorders including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Orthologs of TDP-43 exist from mammals to invertebrates, but their functions in lower organisms remain poorly understood. Here we systematically studied mutant Caenorhabditis elegans lacking the nematode TDP-43 ortholog, TDP-1. To understand the global gene expression regulation induced by the loss of tdp-1, the C. elegans transcriptomes were compared between the N2 WT animals and the tdp-1(ok803lf) mutant. Transcriptional profiling demonstrated that the loss of TDP-1 altered expression of genes functioning in RNA processing and protein folding. These results suggest that the C. elegans TDP-1 as an RNA-processing protein may have a role in the regulation of protein homeostasis and aging. Global gene expression profiling was performed to compare the transcriptome of wild-type (N2) Caenorabditis elegans and that of tdp-1(ok803) loss-of-function mutant. We analyzed mixed stages of Caenorabditis elegans, wild-type N2 versus tdp-1(ok803), using the Affymetrix C. elegans genome array. Three biological replicates were performed.

Altered Distributions of SMN-containing GEMs and Mitochondria in Motor Neurons of TDP-43 transgenic Mice

Project description:TDP-43, a DNA/RNA binding protein involved in RNA transcription and splicing has been associated with the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS. However, the function of TDP-43 in motor neurons remains undefined. Here, we employ both gain- and loss-of-function approaches to determine roles of TDP-43 in motor neurons. Mice expressing human TDP-43 in neurons exhibited growth retardation and premature death that are characterized by abnormal intranuclear inclusions comprised of TDP-43 and Fused in Sarcoma (FUS), and massive accumulation of mitochondria in TDP-43-negative cytoplasmic inclusions in motor neurons, lack of mitochondria in motor axon terminals and immature neuromuscular junctions. Whereas elevated level of TDP-43 disrupts the normal nuclear distribution of Survival Motor Neuron (SMN)-associated Gemini of coiled bodies (GEMs) in motor neurons, its absence prevents the formation of GEMs in the nuclei of these cells. Moreover, transcriptome-wide deep sequencing analysis revealed that decrease in abundance of neurofilament transcripts contributed to the reduction of caliber of motor axons in TDP-43 mice. In concert, our findings indicate that TDP-43 participates in pathways critical for motor neuron physiology, including those that regulate the normal distributions of SMN-associated GEMs in the nucleus and mitochondria in the cytoplasm. Human TDP-43 coding region were inserted into pThy1.2 expression cassette and subsequently injected into C57BL/6;SJL hybrid mouse embryos to make human TDP-43 transgenic mice

Parallel high-throughput RNA-sequencing suggests little overlap of differential gene expression between knockout of TDP-43 and its over-expression in central nervous system in Drosophila

Project description:The human Tar-DNA-binding protein TDP-43 is closely associated with ALS and other neurodegenerative disorders. TDP-43 contains two highly conserved RNA-binding motifs and possesses a variety of documented roles in RNA metabolism, including pre-RNA splicing and repression of transcription. We sought to measure the effect that knockout and over-expression of the fly orthologue of this protein, Tar-DNA-binding protein homolog (TBPH), has on the transcriptome of the central nervous system (CNS) of Drosophila melanogaster. To this end, we used massively parallel sequencing methods (RNA-seq) to transcriptionally profile the CNS in loss-of-function mutants and gain-of-function over-expression genotypes. We found that loss of TBPH resulted in widespread gene activation, much of which could be reversed by rescue of TBPH expression, suggesting that repression is one of the major roles of TBPH. Conversely, we found that over-expression of TBPH resulted largely in decreased gene expression. However, there was little overlap in the genes which were affected in these two genotypes, suggesting that the bulk of genes affected by TBPH loss-of-function and over-expression are different. We provide a comprehensive look at enriched gene ontologies in both cases, suggesting that TDP-43 plays a role in regulating basic processes in neurons. We also describe a number of genes whose splicing is likely to be altered in the absence of TDP-43. In this study we compare the effects of knockout of the TDP-43 ortholog (TBPH) in the fly nervous system with the effects of its overexpression. 2 treatment groups are presented. In the first, TDP-43 knockout (G2) is compared to control (A1) and rescue (G2; TDP-43-GAL4>UAS-TDP-43). In the second comparison, the motor neuron driver D42-GAL4 is used to overexpress TDP-43 in motor neurons, using LacZ as a control for overexpression of a foreign protein.

(CA)n oligonucleotides correct RNA mis-splicing in TDP-43 pathology (I)

Project description:The occurrence of extensive cryptic splicing following the depletion of nuclear TDP-43 results in impaired neuronal function and degeneration. Here, we show that oligonucleotides containing CA-repeat sequences can mimic TDP-43 pre-mRNA binding and broadly repress cryptic splicing events, reverse protein loss, and restore neuronal activity in TDP-43-depleted neurons. Our results indicate that (CA)n oligonucleotides are potential therapeutic agents to address global mis-splicing in TDP-43 proteinopathies.

TDP-43 represses a cryptic exon in Schwann cells to ensure rapid saltatory conduction

Project description:A pathological hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia is the aggregation of TDP-43. While extensive exploration into the function of TDP-43 has focused entirely in the central nervous system (CNS), the implications in physiology and pathology of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) have long been overlooked. Herein, we demonstrate that deletion of TDP-43 in Schwann cells results in a 50% reduction in peripheral nerve conduction velocity, without any obvious alterations to peripheral compact myelin. Compromised insulatory function of myelin was due to the complete loss of paranodal axoglial junctions flanking the nodes of Ranvier. By contrast, the paranodal junctions in the CNS oligodendrocytes are unaltered upon deletion of TDP-43. Mechanistically, TDP-43 binds directly to Nfasc mRNA, which encodes neurofascin, a key cell adhesion molecule essential for establishing paranodal junctions. TDP-43 binding sites overlap with a cryptic exon of Nfasc such that loss of TDP-43 leads to the retention of this cryptic exon with a premature stop codon, a prerequisite for nonsense-mediated decay. Thus, TDP-43 is required for the proper assembly of nodes of Ranvier that is essential for saltatory conduction by suppressing the cryptic exon in the Nfasc mRNA of the Schwann cells. Our findings indicate a direct involvement of TDP-43 in normal PNS function and suggest that PNS-autonomous dysfunction in saltatory conduction may contribute to TDP-43 proteinopathies.
