Are Mouse Models a surrogate for human disease? A temporal, quantitative and molecular perspective.

ABSTRACT: It is unclear to what extent Tau molecular pathology in murine models reflect human Tauopathies. Nevertheless, mouse models that overexpress human mutant Tau (P301S and P301L) are widely used in studies of Tauopathies and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). In this study, we perform an in-depth temporally and spatially resolved mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of P301S (hTau.P301S) and P301L (rTg(tauP301L)4510) mice as well as human patients with AD or frontotemporal dementia due to the P301L mutation, to identify differences and similarities between human AD, animal models and human P301L patients. Both mouse models and human P301L patients show progressive Tau accumulation driven by Tau phosphorylation during disease progression as also observed in early human AD. However, Tau ubiquitination and acetylation, important in human AD, are less or not represented in the mouse models or in P301L patients. Our analyses provide guidance regarding designing mechanistic studies and testing of Tau directed therapeutics.

Comparative interactome analyses of wild-type and P301L MAPT in two human neuronal cell lines

Project description:Protein interactions of the tau protein are of interest in efforts to decipher the mechanisms of cell death in Alzheimer Disease (AD), a subset of frontotemporal dementias (FTD) and other tauopathies. We recently reported on extensive interactions of tau with the ribonucleoproteome and chaperones. A confounder of this prior work was that it probed steady-state interactions of plasmid-encoded four-repeat (4R) tau in dividing cells. Since then, we genome-edited a genomic safe harbor locus in two human neuronal cell lines, namely IMR-32 and ReNcell VM, creating inducible EGFP tagged wild-type and P301L tau models. We expressed balanced levels of 3R- and 4R-tau and interrogated tau protein interactions at specific times following its induction. In addition to its association with the ribonucleoproteome, tau was observed to interact in these models with proteins that escaped prior investigations.

Specific post-translational modifications of the soluble tau protein distinguish between Alzheimer’s disease, 4R-, and 3R-tauopathies

Project description:The tau protein aggregates in several neurodegenerative disorders, referred to as tauopathies. The type of tau isoforms (4R/3R) observed in brain aggregates is used to classify tauopathies. However, distinguishing tauopathies in cerebrospinal fluid remains challenging. Here, we demonstrated that the difference in tau isoforms between tauopathies is only observed in aggregates, not in soluble brain extracts. We therefore used untargeted mass spectrometry to characterize all post-translational modifications of both the aggregated and the soluble tau protein obtained from human brain tissue of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, cortico-basal degeneration, Pick’s disease, and fronto-temporal lobe degeneration. We found specific soluble signatures predictive of each tauopathy and its peculiar type of aggregated tau isoforms. These findings provide potential targets for developing cerebrospinal fluid assays able to distinguish between tauopathies in vivo. The comparison between soluble and aggregated tau features indicates potential mechanisms of tau aggregation, providing novel therapeutic leads for these diseases

Truncated Tau - Role of the Tau N-terminal region in microtubule stabilization revealed by new endogenous truncated forms

Project description:Tau is a microtubule-associated protein that ensures neuronal shape and function. Besides, Tau is a central player in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related Tauopathies where it is found aggregated in degenerating neurons. Mechanisms leading to Tau pathology and its progression are far from being elucidated. Among Tau species found in AD brains, several yet unidentified truncated Tau fragments are showed. A major step forward in the understanding of the role of Tau truncation would be to identify the precise cleavage sites of Tau species. This key step is mandatory to generate appropriate experimental tools in order to investigate the impact of each identified truncated-species on Tau function/dysfunction. Here, we achieved an optimized proteomics approach and succeed in identifying a number of new N-terminally truncated-Tau species from human brain. As N-terminal residues of these fragments are located broadly across Tau sequence, one could expect to have different effects on Tau. We initiated cell-based functional studies by analyzing biochemical characteristics of two N-terminally truncated Tau species starting at residues Met11 and Gln124 (accordingly to the longest Tau isoform) regarding Tau microtubule function. Our results surprisingly showed that the ability of Tau to bind and stabilize microtubules was greater when the first 123 residues are truncated, suggesting that Tau N-terminus would have a role in regulation of microtubule stabilization. Overall, future studies based on our new N-terminally truncated-Tau species will provide new knowledge on the role of truncation in Tau biology as well as in AD pathological process.

Quantitative PTM Maps of Human Pathologic Tau Identify Patient Heterogeneity and Define Critical Steps in Alzheimer’s Disease Progression - angular gyrus

Project description:To elucidate the role of Tau isoforms and PTM stoichiometry in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), we generated a high resolution quantitative proteomic map of 88 PTMs on multiple isoforms of Tau isolated from the post-mortem human tissue from 49 AD and 42 control subjects. While Tau PTM maps reveal heterogeneity across subjects, a subset of PTMs display high occupancy and patient frequency for AD suggesting importance in disease. Unsupervised analyses indicate that PTMs occur in an ordered manner leading to Tau aggregation. The processive addition and minimal set of PTMs associated with seeding activity was further defined by the analysis of size fractionated Tau. To summarize, critical features within the Tau protein for disease intervention at different stages of disease are identified, including enrichment of 0N and 4R isoforms, underrepresentation of the C-terminal, an increase in negative charge in the PRR and a decrease in positive charge in the MBD.

TBK1 interacts with tau and enhances neurodegeneration in tauopathy

Project description:One of the defining pathological features of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the deposition of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) composed of hyperphosphorylated tau in the brain. Aberrant activation of kinases in AD has been suggested to enhance phosphorylation and toxicity of tau, making the responsible tau kinases attractive therapeutic targets. The full complement of tau interacting kinases in AD brain and their activity in disease remains incompletely defined. Here, immunoaffinity enrichment coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) identified TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) as a tau-interacting partner in human AD cortical brain tissues. We validated this interaction in human AD, familial frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) caused by mutations in MAPT (R406W & P301L) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) postmortem brain tissues as well as human cell lines. Further, we document increased TBK1 activation in both AD and FTDP-17 and map TBK1 phosphorylation sites on tau based on in vitro kinase assays coupled to MS. Lastly, in a Drosophila tauopathy model, activating expression of a conserved TBK1 ortholog triggers tau hyperphosphorylation and enhanced neurodegeneration, whereas knockdown had the reciprocal effect, suppressing tau toxicity. Collectively, our findings suggest that increased TBK1 activation may promote tau hyperphosphorylation and neuronal loss in AD and related tauopathies.

Physiological tau interactome in brain and its link to tauopathies_complete submission

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) and most of other tauopathies are incurable neurodegenerative diseases with unpleasant symptoms and consequences. The common hallmark of all these diseases is tau pathology but its connection with disease progress has not been completely understood so far. Therefore, uncovering novel tau interacting partners and pathology affected molecular pathways can reveal the causes of diseases as well as potential targets for development of AD treatment. Despite of large amount of known tau interacting partners, limited number of studies focused on in vivo tau interactions in disease or healthy conditions are available. Here, we applied an in vivo crosslinking approach, capable of capturing weak and transient protein-protein interactions, to a unique transgenic rat model of progressive tau pathology similar to human AD. We have identified 175 potential novel and known tau interacting proteins by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Several of the most promising candidates for potential drug development were selected for validation by coimmunoprecipitation and colocalization experiments in animal and cellular models.

RNA-Seq of human primary microglial cells treated with vehicle or human paired helical filaments (PHFs) purified from human tauopathy autopsy brain

Project description:Neuroinflammation is one of the major neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related tauopathies. Activated microglia often co-exist in the same brain regions where tau protein accumulates as hyperphosphorylated and aggregated PHFs or neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) within neurons in patients with AD and related tauopathies. However, the exact mechanisms how pathological tau could induce neuroinflammatory responses are not clear. In this study, we treated primary human microglia with purified human PHFs and performed RNA-sequence analysis.

Identification of proteins that interact with extracellularly applied fibrillar Tau assemblies

Project description:The microtubule associated protein Tau (MAPT) expressed in neurons is involved in microtubules stabilization, cell morphogenesis and axonal transport. In pathological conditions, Tau assembles into high molecular weight assemblies leading to neuropathological Tau deposits, the hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases collectively named “tauopathies”, including Alzheimer’s disease. These pathologic Tau assemblies are released by affected neuronal cells and taken up by naïve neighbor cells, propagate from one cell to another and amplify by seeding the aggregation of endogenous Tau. In order to identify plasma membrane proteins exposed extracellularly that interact with extracellularly applied fibrillar Tau assemblies, we exposed pure-neuronal cultures to fibrillar Tau for 10 min, pulled down the associated proteins, and identified them using a proteomic-based approach. Of the six Tau isoforms produced by alternative splicing of the MAPT gene and differing from each other by the presence or absence of one or two inserts in the N-terminal part (0N, 1N or 2N) of the protein and by the presence of either three or four repeated microtubule binding motifs in the protein C-terminal part (3R or 4R), we have expressed and purified 1N3R and 1N4R Tau isoforms and further assembled them into 1N3R and 1N4R Tau fibrils. Using pull-down of whole cell lysates and mass spectrometry, we have identified proteins interacting with extracellularly applied Tau fibrils. We have performed two different experiments with either 1N3R Tau fibrils or 1N4R Tau fibrils (condition 1 and condition 2 respectively). Each condition consists in six experimental replicates of cells exposed 10 min to Tau fibrils and of the non-treated cells used as controls.

Bassoon contributes to tau-seed neurotoxicity and propagation.

Project description:Tau aggregates are critical pathological features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other tauopathies. Growing evidence suggests that soluble tau aggregates trigger neurodegenerative phenotypes. However, the nature of the tau species and interactors involved in its aggregation and spreading remains unclear. By using size exclusion chromatography, mass spectrometry, and bioinformatic analysis, we identified Bassoon protein (BSN) as a significant tau interactor in PS19 mice, as well as in human AD and PSP cases. We also found that overexpression of BSN triggers the aggregation of tau and increase the tau seeding activity in vitro, and also exacerbates the degenerative phenotype in a Fly model for tauopathy. Knockdown of BSN significantly reduced tau spreading in PS19 mouse brains and destabilized the tau aggregates, leading to a reduction in the tau pathology in this model. Furthermore, BSN downregulation was able to restore the neurodegenerative phenotype in PS19 mice, observed in electrophysiology and behavioral tests. Our results identify BSN as a key interactor of tau spread and aggregation in the brain, and therefore a potential target for the treatment of diseases that involve tau spread and aggregation.

0N4R Tau and 0N4R Tau P301L Neuronal Interactomes

Project description:Human non-mutated 0N4R Tau and P301L mutant 0N4R Tau tagged at the N-terminus with eGFP were expressed in mouse (CD1) primary cortical neurons using adeno associated viruses to monitor early changes in the synaptic interactome beforethe onset of neuronal loss. Affinity purification mass spectrometry (AP-MS) combined with tandem mass tagging was used to quantitatively compate the non-mutated and P301L interactomes.
