Gene expression profiling of brain tissue from neuronopathic Gaucher disease mouse model of PG9VN, PG9V and wild type mice

ABSTRACT: To understand the intrinsic link between PGRN and Gba D409V mutation dosage in regulating lysosomal function and disease pathogenesis, we generated nGD model of GbaD409V/D409V and loss of PGRN (Grn-/-), termed PG9V that displayed typical neuronopathic GD (nGD). With decreasing the dose of Gba D409V, i.e., D409V/Null, in Grn KO mice (Grn-/-;GbaD409V/Null, PG9VN) led to much earlier onset and more severe neurodegenerative nGD than PG9V mice. To explore the correlation between the Gba mutation dosage and both neurodegeneration and inflammation, as well as to attain molecular insights into the underlying brain pathology in PG9VN mice, we performed bulk RNA sequencing analysis on 7.5-month-old PG9VN, PG9V and WT brain tissues containing thalamus, hypothalamus and midbrain, the predominant regions displaying the neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis classified similar molecular pathways were altered in both PG9V and PG9VN mice. The heightened dysregulation of these pathways may be a contributing factor to the more severe disease phenotypes observed in PG9VN mice. This dysregulation appears to be controlled by a threshold effect related to Gba dosage.

Deficiency of the frontotemporal dementia gene GRN results in gangliosidosis

Project description:Haploinsufficiency of GRN causes frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The GRN locus produces progranulin (PGRN), which is cleaved to lysosomal granulin polypeptides. The function of lysosomal granulins and why their absence causes neurodegeneration are unclear. Here we discover that PGRN-deficient human cells and murine brains, as well as human frontal lobes from GRN-mutation FTD patients have increased levels of gangliosides, glycosphingolipids that contain sialic acid. In these cells and tissues, levels of lysosomal enzymes that catabolize gangliosides were normal, but levels of bis(monoacylglycero)phosphates (BMP), lipids required for ganglioside catabolism, were reduced with PGRN deficiency. Our findings indicate that granulins are required to maintain BMP levels to support ganglioside catabolism, and that PGRN deficiency in lysosomes leads to gangliosidosis. Lysosomal ganglioside accumulation may contribute to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration susceptibility observed in FTD due to PGRN deficiency and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Gene expression profile of brain tissue from wildtype and GRN knock-out mice treated with an AAV driving expression of PTV-Progranulin in the liver

Project description:PGRN is involved in lysosomal function and is expressed in the brain. Grn knock-out (KO) mice develop several pathologies including lysosomal lipi accumulation, gliosis and neurodegeneration. Here we seek to determine if we can rescue Grn KO pathologies with a peripherally delivered AAV, that targets the liver, and drives expression of full length PGRN fused to a mouse TfR binding scFv (AAV(L):bPGRN. The PGRN fusion protein expressed by this AAV (8D3:PGRN), is brain penetrant. To study this, Grn KO mice were given a single IV injection of either saline or AAV(L):bPGRN at 4 months of age. After 8 months when the mice were 12 months of age, brain samples were collected and bulk RNA sequencing was performed to assess correction of transcriptional changes. Grn wild type (WT) mice treated with saline were also included as a control.

scRNA seq analysis on immune cells isolated from nGD mice brain

Project description:We observed significant changes in gene expression between Wt and nGD brain. nGD brains are highly enriched for immune infiltrates, both microglia and immune infiltrates are activated in nGD brains. Through scRNA seq we identified that, microglia specific Gba deletion lead to higher activation and expression of DAM signature genes compared to control mice.

Loss of TREM2 reduces hyperactivation of progranulin deficient microglia but not lysosomal pathology [14 months]

Project description:GRN haploinsufficiency causes frontotemporal lobar degeneration and results in microglial hyperactivation, lysosomal dysfunction and TDP-43 deposition. To understand the contribution of microglial hyperactivation to pathology we evaluated genetic and pharmacological approaches suppressing TREM2 dependent transition of microglia from a homeostatic to a disease associated state. Trem2 deficiency in Grn KO mice led to a reduction of microglia activation. To explore antibody-mediated pharmacological modulation of TREM2-dependent microglial states, we identified antagonistic TREM2 antibodies. Treatment of macrophages from GRN-FTLD patients with these antibodies allowed a complete rescue of elevated levels of TREM2 together with increased shedding and reduction of TREM2 signaling. Furthermore, antibody-treated PGRN deficient hiMGL showed dampened microglial hyperactivation, reduced TREM2 signaling and phagocytic activity, however, lack of rescue of lysosomal dysfunction. Similarly, lysosomal dysfunction, lipid dysregulation and glucose hypometabolism of Grn KO mice were not rescued by TREM2 ablation. Furthermore, NfL, a biomarker for neurodegeneration, was elevated in the Grn/Trem2 KO. These findings suggest that microglia hyperactivation is not necessarily contributing to neurotoxicity, and instead demonstrates that TREM2 exhibits neuroprotective potential in this model.

Brain pathology and cerebellar Purkinje cell loss in a mouse model of chronic neuronopathic Gaucher disease [microglia]

Project description:Gaucher disease (GD) is currently the focus of considerable attention due primarily to the association between the gene that causes GD (GBA) and Parkinson’s disease. Mouse models exist for the systemic (type 1) and for the acute neuronopathic forms (type 2) of GD. Here we report the generation of a mouse that phenotypically models chronic neuronopathic type 3 GD. Gba-/-;Gbatg mice, which contain a Gba transgene regulated by doxycycline, accumulate moderate levels of the offending substrate in GD, glucosylceramide, and live for up to 10 months, i.e. significantly longer than mice which model type 2 GD. Gba-/-;Gbatg mice display behavioral abnormalities at ~4 months, which deteriorate with age, along with significant neuropathology including loss of Purkinje neurons. Gene expression is altered in the brain and in isolated microglia, although the changes in gene expression are less extensive than in mice modeling type 2 disease. Finally, bone deformities are consistent with the Gba-/-;Gbatg mice being a genuine type 3 GD model. Together, the Gba-/-;Gbatg mice share pathological pathways with acute neuronopathic GD mice but also display differences that might help understand the distinct disease course and progression of type 2 and 3 patients.

Loss of TMEM106B potentiates lysosomal and FTLD-like pathology in progranulin deficient mice [neuroinflammation panel]

Project description:Polygenic risk factors influence onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, but are difficult to be functionally explored in isolation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TMEM106B increase the risk for frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) of GRN mutation carriers. Currently, it is not clear if progranulin (PGRN) and TMEM106B are synergistically linked and if a gain or a loss-of-function of TMEM106B is responsible for the increased disease risk of patients with PGRN haploinsufficiency. We therefore compared behavioral abnormalities, gene expression patterns, lysosomal activity and TDP-43 pathology in single and double knockout animals. Grn–/–/Tmem106b–/– mice showed a strongly reduced life span and massive motor deficits. Gene expression analysis revealed an upregulation of molecular signatures characteristic for disease associated microglia and autophagy. Dysregulation of maturation of lysosomal proteins as well as a pronounced accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins and wide spread p62 deposition suggest that proteostasis is impaired. Moreover, while single Grn–/– knockouts only occasionally showed TDP-43 pathology, the double knockout mice exhibit robust deposition of phosphorylated TDP-43. Thus, a loss-of-function of TMEM106B may enhance the risk for GRN-associated FTD by reduced protein turnover in the lysosomal/autophagic system.
