Comparision of time-course gene expression in wild-type Drosophila and an Alzheimers disease model

ABSTRACT: The strongest risk factor for developing Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is age. Here, we study the relationship between ageing and AD using a systems biology approach that employs a Drosophila (fruitfly) model of AD in which the flies overexpress the human Aβ42 peptide. We identified 712 genes that are differentially expressed between control and Aβ-expressing flies. We further divided these genes according to how they change over the animal's lifetime and discovered that the AD-related gene expression signature is age- independent. We have identified a number of differentially expressed pathways that are likely to play an important role in the disease, including oxidative stress and innate immunity. In particular, we uncovered two new modifiers of the Aβ phenotype, namely Sod3 and PGRP-SC1b.

Comparision of time-course gene expression in wild-type Drosophila and an Alzheimers disease model

Project description:The strongest risk factor for developing Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is age. Here, we study the relationship between ageing and AD using a systems biology approach that employs a Drosophila (fruitfly) model of AD in which the flies overexpress the human AM-NM-242 peptide. We identified 712 genes that are differentially expressed between control and AM-NM-2-expressing flies. We further divided these genes according to how they change over the animal's lifetime and discovered that the AD-related gene expression signature is age- independent. We have identified a number of differentially expressed pathways that are likely to play an important role in the disease, including oxidative stress and innate immunity. In particular, we uncovered two new modifiers of the AM-NM-2 phenotype, namely Sod3 and PGRP-SC1b. Transcript level measured using microarrays in biological quadruplicate (except day 20 which is in biological triplicate), each array is AM-NM-2 vs control at the same timepoint (defined by % survival), one replicate per array with dye-swaps.

Expression data from Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Oligomers of Amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) are thought to play a pivotal role in AD pathogenesis, yet the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Two major isoforms of Aβ associated with AD are Aβ40 and Aβ42, the latter being more prone to form oligomers and toxic. Humanized yeast models are currently applied to unravel the cellular mechanisms behind Aβ toxicity. Here, we took a systems biology approach to study two yeast AD models which expressed either Aβ40 or Aβ42 in bioreactor cultures. Strict control of oxygen availability and culture pH, strongly affected the chronological lifespan and reduced confounding effects of variations during cell growth. Reduced growth rates and biomass yields were observed upon expression of Aβ42, indicating a redirection of energy from growth to maintenance. Quantitative physiology analyses furthermore revealed reduced mitochondrial functionality and ATP generation in Aβ42 expressing cells, which matched with observed aberrant fragmented mitochondrial structures. Genome-wide expression levels analysis showed that Aβ42 expression triggers strong ER stress and unfolded protein responses (UPR). Expression of Aβ40 induced only mild ER stress, leading to activation of UPR target genes that cope with misfolded proteins, which resulted in hardly affected physiology. The combination of well-controlled cultures and AD yeast models strengthen our understanding of how cells translate different levels of Aβ toxicity signals into particular cell fate programs, and further enhance their role as a discovery platform to identify potential therapies.

Microglial response to Aβ and prostaglandin-E2 EP4 receptor activation

Project description:A persistent and non-resolving inflammatory response to accumulating Aβ peptide species is a cardinal feature in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In response to accumulating Aβ peptide species, microglia, the innate immune cells of the brain, generate a toxic inflammatory response that accelerates synaptic and neuronal injury. Many pro-inflammatory signaling pathways are linked to progression of neurodegeneration. However, endogenous anti-inflammatory pathways capable of suppressing Aβ-induced inflammation represent a relatively unexplored area. Here we hypothesized that signaling through the prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2) EP4 receptor potently suppresses microglial inflammatory responses to Aβ42 peptides. In cultured microglial cells, EP4 stimulation attenuated levels of Aβ42-induced inflammatory factors and potentiated phagocytosis of Aβ42. Microarray analysis was performed and demonstrated that EP4 stimulation broadly opposed Aβ42-driven gene expression changes in microglia, with enrichment for targets of IRF1, IRF7, and NF-κB transcription factors.

Expression data of FMN supplementation from Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is hallmarked by progressive neurodegeneration. Aggregation of amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) is thought to play a pivotal role in driving AD pathogenesis, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we use yeast genome-scale screening to study global synthetic genetic interactions and identify toxicity modifiers of Aβ42. We find that the gene encoding riboflavin kinase (FMN1) and its metabolic product flavin mononucleotide (FMN) are connected to AD. These relationship between Aβ42 and FMN was previously unknown. As a cofactor for flavoenzymes, FMN supplementation appears to attune many cellular processes to ameliorate Aβ42 toxicity. RNA-seq analysis further confirms FMN’s cytoprotective mechanisms. Our findings provide increased understanding of FMN regulated cellular pathways which are associated with potential targets for AD treatment.

UBB+1-induced activation of autophagy reduces cytotoxicity of amyloid-β in yeast

Project description:UBB+1 is a mutated version of ubiquitin B caused by a transcriptional frameshift. The accumulation of UBB+1, has been linked to ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) dysfunction and neurodegeneration. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of neurodegeneration and accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) in the brain is a prominent neuropathological feature of AD. In our previous study, we found that low expression of UBB+1 could protect cells against several stresses during chronological aging. Here, we applied the genome-wide expression analyses and found that low UBB+1 expression activated the autophagy pathway. Low UBB+1 expression was shown to upregulate vacuolar activity and promote transport of the ATG8p (autophagic marker) to the vacuole. To further study the effects, we expressed low level of UBB+1 in our humanized yeast Aβ models with the expression of either Aβ42 or Aβ40. Interestingly, the co-expression of UBB+1 with Aβ42 or Aβ40 showed a reduction of intracellular Aβ levels and increased chronological life span. In the autophagy deficient mutant background (atg1∆), the intracellular Aβ levels were not affected by UBB+1 expression. Our findings suggest a mechanism of UBB+1 action in reducing intracellular levels of Aβ.

Graphene Oxide Attenuates Toxicity of Amyloid-β Aggregates in Yeast by Promoting Disassembly and Boosting Cellular Stress Response

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of neurodegenerations, with oligomerization and aggregation of amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) being one of its histopathological hallmarks. Recently, graphene oxide (GO) nanoflakes have attracted significant attention in biomedical fields by suppression of protein aggregation in vitro. However, the impact of GO on aggregated proteins in vivo is poorly understood. In earlier work, we developed a humanized AD model in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by constitutively expressing Aβ42 peptides to mimic the chronic cytotoxicity during AD progression. Here we apply this in vivo model system to investigate the impact of GO on Aβ42 aggregates and cytotoxicity.

Cultures of hiPS cells and their differentiation into neuronal cells

Project description:In order to identify endogenous factors that modulate Aβ production, we performed a transcriptome analysis on neuronal cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPS) because these cells changed the Aβ production during neuronal differentiation. When the expression of APP and the ratio Aβ42/40 of the secreted proteins were measured at days 38, 45, and 52 during differentiation, both APP expression and the secretion of Aβ40 and Aβ42 at days 45 and 52 were significantly increased compared to those at day 38. Furthermore, the ratio of Aβ42/40 was dramatically reduced at days 45 and 52 compared to that at day 38. We hypothesized that transcriptional changes during the differentiation into neuronal cells may affect APP production and/or processing. To test this hypothesis, we performed microarray analyses using three independent neuronal cell cultures that were differentiated from each of three hiPS cells, namely 201B7, 253G4, and AD4F-1 (nine cell lines in total). Total RNA was prepared at three differentiation time points (days 38, 45, and 52) and subjected to an Affymetrix Gene Chip Human Exon 1.0 ST array. Compare between samples from 38-day cultures and samples from 45- and 52-day cultures.

Effect of metronidazole on microglial gene expression and gut microbiome composition in the 5XFAD mice model of Alzheimer's disease

Project description:The gut microbiota and innate immune system play critical roles in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Bacteroides is elevated in AD patients and correlates with cerebrospinal fluid levels of Aβ and tau. We found that increased amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques in Bacteroides fragilis treated APP/PS1-21 mice were associated with altered cortical expression Aβ processing genes. B. fragilis suppressed peripheral CD4+ T cell production of GM-CSF and IL-4 and transcriptional changes in microglia related to GM-CSF and IL-4 signaling, phagocytosis, and protein degradation. Furthermore, B. fragilis impaired the microglial uptake of intracranially injected Aβ42, whereas Erysipelotrichaceae strains increased uptake. Depleting murine Bacteroidetes with metronidazole decreased amyloid load in aged 5xFAD mice, increased CD4+ T cell GM-CSF production, and activated microglial pathways related to cytokine signaling, phagocytosis and lysosomal degradation. These data suggest that the gut microbiome may contribute to AD pathogenesis by suppressing peripheral cytokines and microglia phagocytic function, leading to impaired immune-mediated Aβ clearance.

Dynamic changes in the brain protein interaction network correlates with progression of Aβ42 pathology in Drosophila

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most prevalent form of dementia, is a progressive and devastating neurodegenerative condition for which there are no effective treatments. Understanding the molecular pathology of AD during disease progression may identify new ways to reduce neuronal damage. Here, we present a longitudinal study tracking dynamic proteomic alterations in the brains of an inducible Drosophila melanogastermodel of AD expressing the Arctic mutant Aβ42 gene. We identified 3093 proteins from flies that were induced to express Aβ42 and age-matched healthy controls using label-free quantitative ion-mobility data independent analysis mass spectrometry. Of these, 228 proteins were significantly altered by Aβ42 accumulation and were enriched for AD-associated processes. Network analyses further revealed that these proteins have distinct hub and bottleneck properties in the brain protein interaction network, suggesting that several may have significant effects on brain function. Our unbiased analysis provides useful insights into the key processes governing the progression of amyloid toxicity and forms a basis for further functional analyses in model organisms and translation to mammalian systems
