Excitatory Neurons Derived from Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Show Transcriptomic Differences in Alzheimer’s Patients from Controls

ABSTRACT: The recent advances in creating pluripotent stem cells from somatic cells and differentiating them into a variety of cell types is allowing us to study them without the caveats associated with disease-related changes. We generated induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) and used lentiviral delivery to differentiate them into excitatory glutamatergic neurons, on which we performed RNA sequencing. We compared transcriptomes of cells derived from 7 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and 6 control patients. We found that 621 genes show differences in expression levels at adjusted p < 0.05 between the case and control derived neurons. These genes show significant overlap and directional concordance with genes reported from a single-cell transcriptome study of AD patients; they include five genes implicated in AD from genome-wide association studies and they appear to be part of a larger functional network as indicated by an excess of interactions between them observed in the protein–protein interaction database STRING. Exploratory analysis with Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) suggests distinct clusters of patients, based on gene expression, who may be clinically different. Our research outcomes will enable the precise identification of distinct biological subtypes among individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, facilitating the implementation of tailored precision medicine strategies.

Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived models of sporadic and familial Alzheimer’s disease

Project description:Our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis is currently limited by difficulties in obtaining live neurons from patients and the inability to model the sporadic form of AD. It may be possible to overcome these challenges by reprogramming primary cells from patients into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). We reprogrammed primary fibroblasts from two patients with familial AD (both caused by a duplication of APP1, APPDp), two with sporadic AD (sAD1, 2) and two non-demented control individuals (NDCs) into iPSC lines. Neurons from differentiated cultures were FACS-purified and characterized. Purified cultures contained >90% neurons, clustered with fetal brain mRNA samples by microarray criteria, and could form functional synaptic contacts. Virtually all cells exhibited normal electrophysiological activity. Relative to controls, iPSC-derived, purified neurons from the two APPDp patients and patient sAD2 exhibited significantly higher levels of secreted Aβ1-40, phospho-tauThr231 (pTau) and active GSK3β (aGSK3β). Neurons from APPDp and sAD2 patients also accumulated large Rab5-positive early endosomes compared to controls. Treatment of purified neurons with β-secretase inhibitors, but not g-secretase inhibitors, caused significant reductions in pTau and aGSK3β levels. These results suggest a direct relationship between APP proteolytic processing, but not Aβ, in GSK3β activation and tau phosphorylation in human neurons. Additionally, we observed that neurons with the genome of one sAD patient exhibited the phenotypes seen in familial AD samples. More generally, we demonstrate that iPSC technology can be used to observe phenotypes relevant to AD, even though it can take decades for overt disease to manifest in patients.

Modeling early-onset sporadic Alzheimer’s disease using iPSC-derived neurons

Project description:Non-familial Alzheimer’s disease (AD) occurring before 65 years of age is commonly referred to as early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD) and constitutes ~5-6% of all Alzheimer’s disease (AD) cases. While EOAD exhibits the same clinicopathological changes such as amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), brain atrophy, and cognitive decline as observed in the more prevalent late-onset AD (LOAD), EOAD patients tend to have more severe cognitive deficits, including visuospatial, language, and motor dysfunction. Patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been used to model and study penetrative, familial AD (FAD) mutations in APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2, but have been seldom used for sporadic forms of AD that display more heterogeneous disease manifestation. In this study, we sought to characterize iPSC-derived neurons from EOAD patients via RNA-sequencing. A modest difference in expression profiles between EOAD patients and non-demented control subjects resulted in a limited number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Based on this analysis, we provide evidence that iPSC-derived neuron model systems, likely due to the loss of EOAD-associated epigenetic signatures during the iPSC reprogramming, are not an ideal model system to study sporadic AD.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing of mouse periaqueductal gray (PAG) neurons using Smart-seq2.

Project description:We optimized Voltage-Seq which combines, all-optical physiology, spatial mapping, on-site classification, and RNA-transcriptomics to robustly increase the throughput of synaptic connectivity testing and targeted molecular classification of postsynaptic neurons. Single-cell RNA-sequencing was performed on spatial- and voltage-recorded neurons in the mouse PAG. Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) clustered cells as excitatory or inhibitory, and further differential expression analyses highlighted putative marker genes of GABAergic neurons. These sequencing results were in agreement with in-situ hybridization (ISH) and neuronal activity recordings.

Single-cell sequencing of cerebral organoids with familial Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mutation in PSEN1 and non-demented control

Project description:We set up a 3D model based on iPSCs derived from patients with familial forms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and healthy non-demented control. We created cerebral organoids (COs), verified their ability to mimic AD in vitro, and used it to explore early events and the progression of AD pathogenesis. Our data reveal that despite similar expression of cell-type-specific genes during CO maturation in vitro, AD-iPSCs derived COs show limited tissue patterning and altered cellular development. These findings complement unique single-cell sequencing data of AD-iPSCs derived COs confirming this observation and uncovering that a sub-set of neurons in AD-iPSCs likely differentiates prematurely while at the same time retaining the expression of progenitor marker PAX6.

Investigating the role of p16 and cellular senescence in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis

Project description:Advancing age is the greatest risk factor for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), as most AD patients are age 65 and older. However, the mechanistic contribution of aging to AD is unclear. Cellular senescence, one of the major hallmarks of aging, is recently implicated as an aggravator of AD pathogenesis. The critical senescence regulator p16 is increased in neurons of AD patients and mouse models. Eliminating p16-expressing senescent cells attenuates AD pathologies in AD mouse models. However, what p16 does in post-mitotic neurons and how p16 contributes to AD pathogenesis remains unknown. As clinical trials continually fail to improve cognitive decline in AD patients, it is increasingly important to develop a better human cell-based model system to advance our understanding of the impact of aging in AD pathogenesis. Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has revolutionized human disease modeling, enabling differentiation to relevant brain cell types for the study of AD pathogenesis in a human cell-based culture environment. AD iPSC-derived neurons exhibit higher levels of Amyloid beta secretion and tau phosphorylation compared to non-demented control iPSC-derived neurons. Nevertheless, iPSC-derived neurons are “fetal-like” and fail to recapitulate the aging process in AD pathogenesis. Thus, we have developed a robust human iPSC-based neuron model to investigate the contribution of p16 expression to cellular senescence and AD pathogenesis. We found that inducible p16 expression leads to senescence phenotypes in AD as well as non-demented control iPSC-derived neurons. The impact of p16 and induced senescence in neurons on the cellular pathologies of AD is investigated. Our study provides a novel approach to investigate aging-associated cellular changes that potentially influence AD patient-derived differentiated neurons to age and become more permissive to AD pathogenesis in culture.

Whole genome transcriptional analysis of Alzheimer's disease patients compared with age-matched non-demented controls

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an aging related neurodegenerative pathology that affects millions of people worldwide. This pathology has been related to a range of features such as deposition of proteins in the brain, alterations in cell cycle, accumulation of DNA damage, DNA repair deficiency and mitochondrial dysfunction, however the molecular mechanisms implicated in its pathogenesis are still uncertain. Thereby, the present study aimed to evaluate whether peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of AD patients display alterations in gene expression profilescompared to age-matched controls. Blood samples were collected from 25 AD patients and 15 age-matched controls in order to perform genome-wide mRNA expression (microarray). In blood cells, Rank products bioinformatics analysis indicated 593 mRNAs adifferentially expressed in AD compared to controls. Our results demonstrated that PBMCs have alterations in cell cycle and DNA repair as proposed for AD neurons, reinforcing the idea that AD blood cells can provide information about AD status and also can be import as source of studies to better understand the disease.

Transcription profiling of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells of dementia and Alzheimer patients

Project description:With the aging population, there is a growing focus on dementia, especially Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The molecular basis underlying the pathogenesis of AD is gradually being elucidated. Increasing evidence has shown that the immunological function of leukocytes plays a crucial role in the development of neurodegenerative disorders. However, there have been few studies among the Taiwanese population. The aim of this study was to investigate potential biomarkers for early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease from blood leukocytes. Experiment Overall Design: The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) transcriptomes from 5 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), 4 AD, as well as 4 normal controls (NC), were analyzed by microarray analysis.

Xenografted human iPSC-derived neurons with the familial Alzheimer’s disease APPV717I mutation reveal dysregulated transcriptome signatures linked to synaptic function and implicate LINGO2 as a disease signaling mediator

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, and disease mechanisms are still not fully understood. Here, we explored pathological changes in human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons carrying the familial AD APPV717I mutation after cell injection into the mouse forebrain. APPV717I mutant iPSCs and isogenic controls were differentiated into neurons revealing enhanced Aβ42 production, elevated phospho-tau, and impaired neurite outgrowth in APPV717I neurons. Two months after transplantation, APPV717I and control neural cells showed robust engraftment but at 12 months post injection, APPV717I grafts were smaller and demonstrated impaired neurite outgrowth compared to controls, while plaque and tangle pathology were not seen. Single-nucleus RNA-sequencing of microdissected grafts, performed two months after cell injection, identified significantly altered transcriptome signatures in APPV717I iPSC-derived neurons pointing towards dysregulated synaptic function and axon guidance. Interestingly, APPV717I neurons showed an increased expression of genes, many of which are also upregulated in postmortem neurons of AD patients including the transmembrane protein LINGO2. Downregulation of LINGO2 in cultured APPV717I neurons rescued neurite outgrowth deficits and reversed key AD-associated transcriptional changes related but not limited to synaptic function, apoptosis and cellular senescence. These results provide important insights into transcriptional dysregulation in xenografted APPV717I neurons linked to synaptic function, and they indicate that LINGO2 may represent a potential therapeutic target in AD.
