Aberrant neurodevelopment in human iPS cell-derived astrocyte-neuron co-culture model of Alexander disease

ABSTRACT: Co-cultures of neurons and astrocytes derived from human iPS cells carrying a GFAP (R239C) mutation - an identified cause of Alexander disease (AxD) - were analyzed with single-cell RNA sequencing to assess cell population composition, differential gene expression, and cell-cell interaction differences in AxD co-cultures compared to controls. Oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) challenge was applied to identify differences in stress response. Our results suggested differentiation impairment especially in AxD astrocytes, represented by an enriched population of less differentiated cells and downregulation of mature astrocyte genes in AxD astrocytes-containing co-cultures. Furthermore, AxD co-cultures showed increased stress response represented by upregulation of metallothioneins and increased susceptibility to the OGD challenge.

Aberrant neurodevelopment in human iPS cell-derived models of Alexander disease

Project description:Alexander disease (AxD) is a rare, severe neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). While the exact disease mechanism remains unknown, existing studies suggest that the mutant GFAP influences many cellular processes, including cytoskeleton stability, mechanosensing, cell energetics, and proteasome function. While most studies have primarily focused on GFAP-expressing astrocytes, this protein is also expressed by radial glia and neural progenitor cells, prompting questions about the impact of GFAP mutations on central nervous system (CNS) development. In this study, we present an intriguing observation of an impaired differentiation of astrocytes and neurons in co-cultures of astrocytes and neurons, as well as in brain organoids, both generated from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells with a GFAP (R239C) mutation. Leveraging single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we identified distinct cell populations and transcriptomic changes between the GFAP mutant cells and an isogenic corrected control. These findings are supported with immunocytochemistry and proteomics. In co-cultures, the AxD mutation resulted in an increased abundance of immature cells, while in organoids, we observed an altered cell differentiation and reduced abundance of astrocytes. Additionally, gene expression analysis associated the AxD mutation with increased stress susceptibility, cytoskeletal abnormalities, and altered extracellular matrix and cell-cell communication patterns. Overall, our results suggest the possibility of a faulty differentiation in human iPS cell-derived models of AxD, opening new avenues for AxD research.

Composition of Rosenthal fibers in Alexander disease patients and mouse models

Project description:Alexander disease (AxD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the presence in astrocytes of protein aggregates called Rosenthal fibers (RFs). In this work, we used a new biochemical fractionation method to enrich for RFs followed by analysis of this fraction using quantitative iTRAQ mass spectrometry. This work identified 77 proteins not previously associated with RFs. Multiple proteins selected for follow-up were confirmed by immunobloting to be enriched in the RF fraction of both the AxD mouse models and human AxD patients including receptor for activated protein C kinase 1 (RACK1), G1/S-specific cyclin D2, and ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX3X.

Aberrant neurodevelopment in human iPS cell-derived neural organoid model of Alexander disease

Project description:3D-cultured unguided neural and cortical organoids derived from human iPS cells carrying a GFAP (R239C) mutation - an identified cause of Alexander disease (AxD) - and their isogenic controls were analyzed with scRNA-seq to investigate the effect of the GFAP mutation on brain development, cell type composition, and gene expression. Results of this analysis showed impaired astro- and neurogenesis in both types of organoids (unguided and cortical), including a lack of cells acquiring the astrocyte fate, and an increased abundance of cells differentiating into lineages other than neuroectodermal. The results also suggested dysregulation of extracellular matrix, membrane, and cytoskeleton components, which might have also affected their differentiation trajectories.

Characterization of secretomes from brain microvascular endothelial cells after ischemia

Project description:The human immortalized brain endothelial cell line hCMEC/D3 is considered an in vitro model of the blood-brain-barrier. We aimed to characterize changes in the secretome of hCMEC/D3 subjected to oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) by SILAC, in order to identify new proteins involved in ischemia-triggered blood-brain-barrier disruption and test their potential as blood biomarkers for ischemic stroke diagnosis. After SILAC analysis, 19 proteins were found differentially secreted between OGD and normoxia/normoglycemia conditions (Fold Change>|1.4| and peptide count≥2). Protein folding and nucleic acid binding were the main molecular functions and epithelial adherens junctions and aldosterone signaling appeared as the main canonical pathways represented by OGD-secreted proteins. ANXA1, CLUS, IGFBP2, PRDX3, TIMP2 and COL1A2 were replicated by western blotting in 9 independent cell cultures. Five replicated proteins were analyzed in human serum samples of 38 ischemic stroke patients compared to 18 stroke-mimicking conditions and 18 healthy controls by ELISA. IGFBP2 showed increased blood levels when strokes were compared with stroke-mimicking patients (p<0.1). In conclusion, we characterized changes in the secretome of hCMEC/D3 after an ischemic insult and highlighted some candidates to become biomarkers for ischemic stroke diagnosis related to blood-brain-barrier disruption.
