Project description:Familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) represents about 10% of ALS cases. In about 20% of familial ALS patients, a mutation in superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1) can be found. The ubiquitous SOD1 protein converts superoxide radical anions to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Patients with familial ALS caused by mutations in SOD1 can show comorbidity with frontotemporal dementia and develop cognitive impairment, including apathy, inattention, verbal deficits, and hypersexuality. At the cellular level, pathological signs of ALS may include tau immunoreactive astrocytic and neuronal inclusions, suggesting that cognitive dysfunction in ALS may also reflect abnormal protein metabolism of the microtubule associated protein (MAP), tau. To identify cell-specific expression changes, we performed laser capture microdissection (LCM) to isolate anterior horn motor neurons and surrounding cells. To determine common pathways for the development of ALS due to dysfunction of SOD1 or TAU, we performed whole transcriptome analysis in SOD1 and TAU mouse models. Because ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that specifically affects motor neurons, these cells were the main investigative target. Global transcriptomes of glial cells surrounding the motor neurons were also assessed, because these cells have been implicated as triggers of neurodegeneration. Mouse experiments were performed at the presymptomatic stage, prior to the onset of cell loss, in order to reduce false positive signals due to tissue reactive changes. Lumbar anterior horn anterior horn motor neurons and surrounding cells (glia) were isolated from presymptomatic TAU-P301L and SOD1-G93A transgenic mice using laser capture microdissection (LCM; PixCell® IIe LCM System, Arcturus, Molecular Devices, CA). On average, 500 motor neuron bodies or surrounding glial cells from 20 tissue sections per animal were collected. RNA isolation from LCM collected cells was performed using the Qiagen RNeasy Micro Kit. Only RNA with RNA Integrity Numbers (RIN) above 7.5 were taken for further analysis (Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100). A two-round T7-based amplification and labeling protocol (Agilent Low RNA Input Linear Amplification Kit PLUS) was used to generate high quality labeled cRNA. Agilent Whole Mouse Genome Microarray comparisons of motor neurons and surrounding glia were performed between transgenic (SOD1G93A and TAUP301L) and corresponding nontransgenic (control) littermate animals, producing four independent comparison groups: SOD1G93A motor neurons versus control motor neurons (SOD1mn), SOD1G93A motor neuron surrounding glia versus control glia (SOD1gl), TAUP301L motor neurons versus control motor neurons (TAUmn) and TAUP301L glia versus control glia (TAUgl). Each comparison used four pairs of transgenic (SOD1G93A or TAUP301L) vs. corresponding control littermate animals, producing four biological replicates. Raw microarray data were acquired using the Agilent DNA Microarray scanner and processed with the accompanying Agilent Feature Extraction 10.5 Image Analysis software using default settings. Normalized signal intensities were used to identify gene expression changes in SOD1G93A and TAUP301L motor neurons and surrounding glial cells, generating four partially overlapping sets of data. For the identification of differential expression, the genes were required to pass two conservative criteria: a ratio beyond the 99.5% confidence interval observed in homotypic comparisons, which corresponded to an approximately 1.5-fold expression change, and a paired t-test (P<0.01) computed using 100 permutations of the data for each gene. Correction for multiple comparisons was performed using the adjusted Bonferroni test. The analysis was performed in the TM4: Microarray Software Suite. These techniques identified 251 transcripts representing 186 known genes for which expression was altered in at least one of the four comparisons. Four-condition experiment, SOD1G93A motor neurons versus control motor neurons (SODmn), SOD1G93A motor neuron surrounding glia versus control glia (SODgl), TAUP301L motor neurons versus control motor neurons (TAUmn) and TAUP301L glia versus control glia (TAUgl). Each comparison used four pairs of transgenic (SOD1G93A or TAUP301L) vs. corresponding control littermate animals, producing four biological replicates. Biological replicates: 4 SOD1G93A motor neurons (SODmn), 4 non SOD littermate motor neurons (nonSODmn), 4 SOD1G93A motor neuron surrounding glia (SODgl), 4 non SOD littermate motor neuron surrounding glia (nonSODgl), 4 TAUP301L motor neurons (TAUmn), 4 non TAU littermate motor neurons (nonTAUmn), 4 TAUP301L motor neuron surrounding glia (TAUgl), 4 non TAU littermate motor neuron surrounding glia (nonTAUgl). Four independent comparison groups were generated: SOD1G93A motor neurons versus control nonSOD motor neurons, SOD1G93A motor neuron surrounding glia versus control nonSOD glia, TAUP301L motor neurons versus control nonTAU motor neurons and TAUP301L glia versus control nonTAU glia. Each comparison used four pairs of transgenic (SOD1G93A or TAUP301L) vs. corresponding control littermate animals, producing four biological replicates. Each replicate was repeated twice with dye flip to correct for unequal dye incorporation rates. Therefore, eight microarray hybridizations were performed for each biological comparison, for a total of 32 microarray slides and generating four groups of differentially expressed genes in SOD1G93A motor neurons (SODmn), SOD1G93A motor neuron surrounding glial cells (SODgl), TAUP301L motor neurons (TAUmn), and TAUP301L surrounding glial cells (TAUgl).

Project description:Tau aggregates lead to progressive neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Neuron death is one of the hallmarks of neurodegeneration.However, the pathological influence of neuronal death is undetermined, and the connection between Tau aggregates and neuronal death remains elusive. Here we demonstrated the essential role of neuron death in Tau-related neurodegeneration. Tau-neurons died in necroptosis, dependent on ZBP1 sensitized by Z-RNAs (an unusual left-handed conformation). Those endogenous Z-RNAs were transcripts of reactivated transposable elements (TEs) originally silenced in heterochromatin.

Project description:Pathogenic a-synuclein and tau are critical drivers of neurodegeneration and their mutations cause neuronal loss in patients. Whether the underlying preferential neuronal vulnerability is a cell-type intrinsic property or a consequence of increased expression levels remains elusive. Here, we explore cell-type specific a-synuclein and tau expression in human brain datasets and use deep phenotyping as well as brain- wide single-cell RNA sequencing of >200 live neuron types in fruit flies to ask which cellular environments react most to a-synuclein or tau toxicity. We detect phenotypic and transcriptomic evidence of differential neuronal vulnerability independent of a-synuclein or tau expression levels. Comparing vulnerable with resilient neurons in Drosophila enabled us to predict numerous human neuron subtypes with increased intrinsic susceptibility to pathogenic a-synuclein or tau. By uncovering synapse and Ca2+ homeostasis related genes as tau toxicity modifiers our work paves the way to leverage neuronal identity to uncover modifiers of neurodegeneration-associated toxic proteins.

Project description:To understand how glia may be altered in frontotemporal degeneration with tau pathology (FTD-tau), we used a NanoString glial profiling panel to measure 770 transcripts related to glial biology in human control (n = 8), Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (n = 8), and FTD-tau (n = 8) dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Compared to control, 43 genes were upregulated and 86 genes were downregulated in the FTD-tau samples. Only 3 genes were upregulated and 2 were downregulated in AD. Pathway analysis revealed many astrocyte-, microglia-, and oligodendrocyte-related pathway scores increased in FTD-tau, while neuron-related pathway scores decreased. We compared these results to a previously published proteomic dataset containing many of the same samples and found that the targeted panel approach obtained measurements for genes whose proteins were not measured in the proteomics. Our results point to the utility of multi-omic approaches and marked dysregulation of glia in FTD-tau.

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.

Project description:Post-mortem investigations indicate that the locus coeruleus (LC) is the initial site of hyperphosphorylated pretangle tau, a precursor to neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) found in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The presence of pretangle tau and NFTs in the LC correlates with AD progression. LC neuron integrity and quantity are linked to cognitive states, with degeneration associated with AD. However, the mechanisms of pretangle tau-induced LC degeneration are unclear. This study examined the transcriptomic and mitochondrial profiles of LC noradrenergic neurons after transduction with pseudophosphorylated human tau. Tau hyperphosphorylation increased the somatic expression of the L-type calcium channel (LTCC), impaired mitochondria health, and led to deficits in spatial and olfactory learning. Sex-dependent alterations in gene expression were observed in rats transduced with pretangle tau. Chronic LTCC blockade prevented behavioral deficits and altered mitochondrial mRNA expression, suggesting a potential link between LTCC hyperactivity and mitochondrial dysfunction. Our research provides insights into the consequences of tau pathology in the originating structure of AD.
