Genetic ablation of Dicer in adult forebrain neurons results in abnormal tau hyperphosphorylation and neurodegeneration

ABSTRACT: The type III RNase Dicer is responsible for the maturation and function of microRNA (miRNA) molecules in the cell. It is now well documented that Dicer and the fine-tuning of the miRNA gene network are important for neuronal integrity. However, the underlying mechanisms involved in neuronal death, particularly in the adult brain, remain poorly defined. Here, we show that absence of Dicer in the adult forebrain is accompanied by a mixed neurodegenerative phenotype. While neuronal loss is observed in the hippocampus, cellular shrinkage is predominant in the cortex. Interestingly, neuronal degeneration coincides with the hyperphosphorylation of endogenous tau at several epitopes previously associated with neurofibrillary pathology. Transcriptome analysis of enzymes involved in tau phosphorylation identified ERK1 as one of the candidate kinases responsible for this event in vivo. We further demonstrate that miRNAs belonging to the miR-15 family are potent regulators of ERK1 expression in mouse neuronal cells and co-expressed with ERK1/2 in vivo. Last, we show that miR-15a is specifically downregulated in Alzheimer’s disease brain. In sum, these results support the hypothesis that changes in the miRNA network may contribute to a neurodegenerative phenotype by affecting tau phosphorylation.

T cell activation decreases microRNA-15a/16 levels as a mechanism to promote MEK1-ERK1/2-Elk1 signaling for optimal proliferative capacity

Project description:While microRNAs (miRs) have been extensively studied in the context of malignancy and tumor progression, their functions in regulating T cell activation are less clear. We found reduced levels of miR-15a/16 at 3-18 h post-T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation, suggesting a role in shaping T cell activation. An inducible miR15a/16 transgenic mouse model was developed to determine how elevating miR-15a/16 levels during early stages of activation would affect T cell proliferation and to identify TCR signaling pathways regulated by this miR pair. Doxycyclin (DOX) induced expression of miR-15a/16 from 0-18 h post-TCR stimulation decreased ex vivo proliferation as well as in vivo antigen-specific proliferation. Bioinformatic and proteomic approaches were combined to identify MEK1 as a target of miR-15a/16. MEK1 targeting by miR-15a/16 was confirmed using miR mimics that decreased MEK1 containing the 3’-UTR target nucleotide sequence (UGCUGCUA) but did not decrease MEK1 containing a mutated control sequence (AAAAAAAA). Phosphorylation of downstream signaling molecules ERK1/2 and Elk1 were decreased with DOX-induced miR-15a/16 expression. In addition to MEK1, ERK1 was subsequently found to be targeted by miR-15a/16, with DOX induced miR-15a/16 reducing total ERK1 levels in T cells. These findings show that TCR stimulation reduces miR-15a/16 levels at early stages of T cell activation to facilitate increased MEK1 and ERK1, and this promotes sustained MEK1-ERK1/2-Elk1 signaling required for optimal proliferation.

microRNA profiling of multiple myeloma bone marrow

Project description:Bone marrow microenvironment in MM contains a unique miR signature, which is partially present and detectable in the peripheral blood. A subset of miRs (let-7i, miR-106b, miR-15a, and miR16) shows aberrant expression in the precursor lesion of MGUS, while aberrant expression of other miRs (let-7a, miR-15a/b, miR-19b, miR-20a, miR-21, miR-223, and miR-361) is associated with cell proliferation and disease progression. miRNA profiling was performed using Agilent miRNA array platforms with RNAs isolated from the bone marrow supernatant of multiple myeloma.

Small Molecule Inducers of Neuroprotective miR-132 Identified by HTS-HTS in Human iPSC-derived Neurons

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short RNAs that regulate fundamental biological processes. miR-132, a key miRNA with established functions in Tau homeostasis and neuroprotection, is consistently downregulated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other tauopathies. miR-132 overexpression rescues neurodegenerative phenotypes in several AD models. To complement research on miRNA-mimicking oligonucleotides targeting the central nervous system, we developed a high-throughput-screen coupled high-throughput-sequencing (HTS-HTS) in human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons to identify small molecule inducers of miR-132. We discovered that cardiac glycosides, which are canonical sodium-potassium ATPase inhibitors, selectively upregulated miR-132 in the sub-μM range. Coordinately, cardiac glycoside treatment downregulated total and phosphorylated Tau in rodent and human neurons and protected against toxicity by glutamate, N-methyl-D-aspartate, rotenone, and Aβ oligomers. In conclusion, we identified small-molecule drugs that upregulated the neuroprotective miR-132 and ameliorated neurodegenerative phenotypes. Our dataset also represents a comprehensive resource for discovering small molecules that modulate specific miRNAs for therapeutic purposes.

Phosphoproteomic analysis of brain form Alzheimer’s disease

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common neurodegenerative disorder caused by neuronal loss which results in memory loss. Formation of neurofibrillary tangles composed of abnormal hyper phosphorylation of tau protein is one of the major pathological hallmarks for AD. Several neurodegenerative disorders including AD are associated with abnormal protein phosphorylation events.

Recapitulation of endogenous 4R tau expression and formation of insoluble tau in directly reprogrammed human neurons

Project description:Tau is a microtubule-binding protein expressed in neurons and the equal ratio between 4-repeat (4R) and 3-repeat (3R) isoforms are maintained in normal adult brain function. Dysregulation of 3R:4R ratio causes tauopathy and human neurons that recapitulate tau isoforms in health and disease will provide a platform for elucidating pathogenic processes involving tau pathology. We carried out extensive characterizations of tau isoforms expressed in human neurons derived by microRNA-induced neuronal reprogramming of adult fibroblasts. Transcript and protein analyses showed miR-neurons expressed all six isoforms with the 3R:4R isoform ratio equivalent to that detected in human adult brains. Also, miR-neurons derived from familial tauopathypatients with a 3R:4R ratio altering mutation showed increased 4R tau and the formation of insoluble tau with seeding activity. Our results collectively demonstrate the utility of miRNA-induced neuronal reprogramming to recapitulate endogenous tau regulation comparable to the adult brain in health and disease.

Transcriptomic profiling of HeLa cells treated with miR-15a, miR-16, miR-503 and control-miR

Project description:To have a global picture of the targets of the miR-15 family, we assessed transcriptome changes, by deep-sequencing, of HeLa cells transfected with 3 members of the miR-15 family (miR-15a, miR-16 or miR-503) or a control miRNA (cel-miR-231). We observed a very extensive overlap between the genes down-regulated by these 3 miRNAs, as expected for miRNAs belonging to the same family. transcriptmic profiles of HeLa cells treated miR-15a, miR-16, miR-503 and control-miR were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq2000.

RNA sequencing of Tau overexpressing human SH-SY5Y cell line revels that Tau protein is able to alter global gene expression and chromatin structure

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease and tauopathies are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the alteration of neuronal homeostasis and aggregation of Tau protein. Tau is generally considered a protein involved in cytoskeletal stability and transport whose destabilization leads to neuronal dysfunction and death. Despite the knowledge about canonical roles of Tau, in recent years it has been observed that Tau is a key player in several neuronal functions. We previously described that Tau destabilization and nuclear delocalization alters the expression of glutamatergic genes mediating early neuronal damage. In this paper we propose that Tau is able to deeply affect the neuronal transcriptome and that its availability is associated to gene expression alterations occurring in developing intermediate AD phases. In addition, we identify the epigenetic pathway as strongly altered by Tau during AD progression.

Project description:To further identify the most significantly changed miRNA resulting from the different expression levels of TWIST2 in cervical cancer cells, we used a miRNA microarray to identify the miRNA expression profiles among SiHa, SiHa-tw2 and SiHa-shtw2. The significantly deregulated miRNAs (changes of more than 2-fold in expression) included miR-23b-5p, miR-221-3p, miR-502-3p, miR-221-5p, miR-15a-5p, miR-1227, miR-93-5p and miR-4257.
