Cortical region confers neuron-type-specific vulnerability to human APP expression

ABSTRACT: Alzheimer’s Disease is a devastating and an irreversible neurodegenerative disease currently afflicting 50 million individuals worldwide, a number expected to escalate three-fold over the next 25 years. Preventative treatment is of dire importance, and yet, cellular mechanisms underlying early regional vulnerability in Alzheimer’s Disease remain unknown. In human patients with Alzheimer’s Disease, the earliest observed pathophysiological correlate to cognitive decline is hyperexcitability. In mouse models, early hyperexcitability has been shown in the cortical region first impacted by Alzheimer’s Disease. The origin of hyperexcitability in early stage-disease and why it preferentially emerges in specific regions is unclear. Using cortical-region and cell-type- specific proteomics and patch-clamp electrophysiology, we uncovered differential susceptibility to human-specific APP in a model of sporadic Alzheimer’s Disease. Shockingly, our findings reveal that early entorhinal hyperexcitability may result from intrinsic vulnerability of parvalbumin interneurons, prior to changes in surrounding excitatory neurons. This study suggests early disease interventions addressing non-excitatory cell-types may protect regions first vulnerable to pathological symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease and downstream cognitive decline.

Native-state proteomics of Parvalbumin interneurons identifies novel molecular signatures and metabolic vulnerabilities to early Alzheimer's disease pathology

Project description:One of the earliest pathophysiological perturbations in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) may arise from dysfunction of fast-spiking parvalbumin (PV) interneurons (PV-INs). Defining early protein-level (proteomic) alterations in PV-INs can provide key biological and translationally relevant insights. Here, we use cell-type-specific in vivo biotinylation of proteins (CIBOP) coupled with mass spectrometry to obtain native-state proteomes of PV interneurons. PV-INs exhibited proteomic signatures of high metabolic, mitochondrial, and translational activity, with over-representation of causally linked AD genetic risk factors. Analyses of bulk brain proteomes indicated strong correlations between PV-IN proteins with cognitive decline in humans, and with progressive neuropathology in humans and mouse models of Aβ pathology. Furthermore, PV-IN-specific proteomes revealed unique signatures of increased mitochondrial and metabolic proteins, but decreased synaptic and mTOR signaling proteins in response to early Aβ pathology. PV-specific changes were not apparent in whole-brain proteomes. These findings showcase the first nativestate PV-IN proteomes in mammalian brain, revealing a molecular basis for their unique vulnerabilities in AD

Synaptic Signatures and Disease Vulnerabilities of Layer 5 Pyramidal Neurons - second data set

Project description:Cortical layer 5 (L5) intratelencephalic (IT) and pyramidal tract (PT) neurons are embedded in distinct information processing pathways. The morphology, connectivity, electrophysiological properties, and role in behavior of these neurons have been extensively analyzed. However, the molecular composition of their synapses remains largely uncharacterized. Here, we dissect the protein composition of the excitatory postsynaptic compartment of L5 neurons in intact somatosensory circuits, using an optimized proximity biotinylation workflow with subsynaptic resolution. We find distinct synaptic signatures of L5 IT and PT neurons that are defined by proteins regulating synaptic organization and transmission, including cell-surface proteins (CSPs), neurotransmitter receptors and ion channels. In addition, we find a differential vulnerability to disease, with a marked enrichment of autism risk genes in the synaptic signature of L5 IT neurons compared to PT neurons. Our results align with human studies and suggest that the excitatory postsynaptic compartment of L5 IT neurons is notably susceptible in autism. Together, our analysis sheds light on the proteins that regulate synaptic organization and function of L5 neuron types and contribute to their susceptibility in disease. Our approach is versatile and can be broadly applied to other neuron types to create a protein-based, synaptic atlas of cortical circuits.

RNA-seq raw data and analysis for APP, Shal495 and TrpA1 Drosophila melanogaster mutants

Project description:Evidence suggests that impaired synaptic and firing homeostasis represents a driving force of early Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression. Here, we examine synaptic and sleep homeostasis in a Drosophila model by overexpressing human amyloid precursor protein (APP), whose duplication and mutations cause familial early-onset AD. We find that APP overexpression induces synaptic hyperexcitability. RNA-seq data indicate exaggerated expression of Ca2+ related signaling genes in APP mutants, including genes encoding Dmca1D, calcineurin (CaN) complex, and IP3R, but not in hyperexcitable mutants caused by TrpA1 or Shal/Kv4. We further demonstrate that increased CaN activity triggers transcriptional activation of Itpr (IP3R) through activating nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). Strikingly, APP overexpression causes defects in both synaptic downscaling and sleep deprivation induced sleep rebound, and both defects could be restored by inhibiting IP3R. Our findings uncover IP3R as a shared signaling molecular in synaptic downscaling and sleep homeostasis, and its dysregulation may lead to synaptic hyperexcitability and AD progression at early stage.

Error-prone protein synthesis recapitulates early symptoms of Alzheimer disease in aging mice

Project description:Age-related neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) and neuronal dysfunction are associated with the aggregation and propagation of specific pathogenic protein species (e.g. Aβ, α-synuclein, tau). However, whether the disruption of synaptic homeostasis results from protein misfolding per se rather than accumulation of a specific rogue protein is an unexplored question. Here, we show that error-prone translation with its frequent outcome of random protein misfolding is sufficient to recapitulate many early features of NDDs, including proteostasis dysregulation, perturbed Ca2+ signalling, neuronal hyperexcitability, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Mice expressing the ribosomal ambiguity mutation Rps9 D95N exhibited disrupted synaptic homeostasis resulting in abnormal behavioral changes reminiscent of early Alzheimer's disease (AD), such as learning and memory deficits, maladaptive responses to novel stimuli, spontaneous epileptiform discharges, suppressed circadian rhythmicity, and sleep fragmentation. Ectopic hippocampal NPY expression and cerebral glucose hypometabolism (18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET) were further signs of neuronal hyperexcitability. Collectively, our findings strongly suggest that random protein misfolding may contribute to the pathogenesis of age-related NDDs providing an alternative framework for understanding the initiation of Alzheimer’s disease.

Synaptosome proteomics of tetanus neurotoxin-injected mice

Project description:Network hyperexcitability is manifested as frequent ictal discharges, often caused by unbalanced neurotransmission. We assessed synaptic changes in the hyperexcitable visual cortex of tetanus neurotoxin-injected mice (TeNT). A proteomics analysis of synaptic content revealed Carboxypeptidase E (CPE) up-regulation following TeNT injection. To quantify CPE effect on vesicle clustering, we used an ultrastructural measure of synaptic activity to investigate functional differences at excitatory and inhibitory synapses. We found homeostatic changes in hyperexcitable networks expressed as an early onset lengthening of active zones at inhibitory synapses followed by spatial reorganization at excitatory synapses. Moreover, inhibition of CPE decreases ictal discharges in vivo. This study reveals a complex landscape of homeostatic changes affecting the synaptic release machinery , differentially at inhibitory and excitatory terminals. We propose a novel homeostatic presynaptic mechanism which may impact release timing rather than synaptic strength.

Preliminary evaluation of the proteomic profiling in the hippocampus of aged grazing cattle

Project description:Brain aging is a physiological process associated with physical and cognitive decline; however, in both humans and animals, it that can be regarded as a risk factor for neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Among several brain regions, hippocampus appears to be more susceptible to detrimental effects of aging. Hippocampus belongs to limbic system and is mainly involved in declarative memories and context-dependent spatial-learning, whose integrity are compromised in an age-dependent manner. In the present work, taking advantage of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based proteomics, we sought to identify proteins differentially expressed in the hippocampus of the aged grazing milk cows. Our exploratory findings showed that 112 proteins were significantly altered in old cattle, when compared to the adult controls, and functional clusterization highlighted their involvement in processes such as myelination, synaptic vesicle, metabolism, and calcium-related pathways. Overall, the present paving the way for the future studies, aimed at better characterizing the role of such a subcortical brain region in the age-dependent cognitive decline across mammals, and identifying early aging markers in farming cattle

Molecular characterization of selectively vulnerable neurons in Alzheimer’s Disease

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the selective vulnerability of specific neuronal populations, the molecular signatures of which are largely unknown. To identify and characterize selectively vulnerable neuronal populations, we used single-nucleus RNA sequencing to profile the caudal entorhinal cortex and the superior frontal gyrus – brain regions where neurofibrillary inclusions and neuronal loss occur early and late in AD, respectively – from individuals spanning the neuropathological progression of AD. We identified RORB as a marker of selectively vulnerable excitatory neurons in the entorhinal cortex, and subsequently validated their depletion and selective susceptibility to neurofibrillary inclusions during disease progression using quantitative neuropathological methods. We also discovered an astrocyte subpopulation, likely representing reactive astrocytes, characterized by decreased expression of genes involved in homeostatic functions. Our characterization of selectively vulnerable neurons in AD paves the way for future mechanistic studies of selective vulnerability and potential therapeutic strategies for enhancing neuronal resilience. The brain tissue used in this study were sourced from the Biobank for Aging Studies (LIM-22) in the Department of Pathology at the University of Sao Paulo, as well as from the Neurodegenerative Diseases Brain Bank in the Memory and Aging Center at the University of California, San Francisco. Detailed neuropathological, clinical and genetic data are available under request. Please contact gerolab@gmail.com and lea.grinberg@ucsf.edu.

Exon microarray expression data of CSMN from ALS and control mice at P30

Project description:Brain is complex and heterogeneous. Even though numerous independent studies indicate cortical hyperexcitability as a potential contributor to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pathology, the mechanisms that are responsible for upper motor neuron (UMN) vulnerability remain elusive. In an effort to reveal the electrophysiological determinants of corticospinal motor neuron (CSMN, a.k.a UMN in mice) vulnerability, we investigated the motor cortex of hSOD1G93A mice at P30 (postnatal day 30), ¬a presymptomatic time point. Glutamate uncaging by laser scanning photostimulation revealed altered dynamics especially within the inhibitory circuitry and more specifically in L2/3 of the cortex, whereas the excitatory microcircuits were unchanged. Observed microcircuitry changes were specific to CSMN in the motor column. Electrophysiological evaluation of the intrinsic properties in response to the microcircuit changes, as well as the exon microarray expression profiles of CSMN isolated from hSOD1G93A and healthy mice at P30 revealed the presence of a very dynamic set of events, ultimately directed to establish, maintain and retain the balance at this early stage. In addition, the expression profile of key voltage gated potassium and sodium channel subunits as well as of the inhibitory GABA receptor subunits and modulatory proteins began to suggest the challenges CSMN face at this early stage. Since neurodegeneration is initiated when neurons can no longer maintain balance, the complex cellular events that occur at this critical time point help reveal how CSMN try cope with challenges of disease manifestation. This information is critically important for proper modulation of upper motor neurons and for developing effective treatment strategies in the near future.

Cell type-specific in vivo proximity labeling of the neuronal proteome reveals regional differences in mouse brain.

Project description:Isolation and proteomic profiling of brain cell types, particularly neurons, pose several technical challenges which limit our ability to resolve distinct cellular phenotypes in neurological diseases. Therefore, we generated a novel mouse line that enables cell type-specific expression of a biotin ligase, TurboID, via Cre-lox strategy for in vivo proximity-dependent biotinylation of proteins. Using adenoviral-based and transgenic approaches, we show striking protein biotinylation in neuronal cell bodies and axons throughout the mouse brain. We quantified more than 2,000 neuron-derived proteins following enrichment that mapped to numerous subcellular compartments. Synaptic, transmembrane transporters, ion channel subunits, and disease-relevant druggable targets were among the most significantly enriched proteins. Remarkably, we resolved brain region-specific proteomic profiles of Camk2a neurons with distinct functional molecular signatures and disease associations that may underlie regional neuronal vulnerability. Leveraging the neuronal specificity of this in vivo biotinylation strategy, we used an antibody-based approach to uncover regionally unique patterns of neuron-derived signaling phospho-proteins and cytokines, particularly in the cortex and cerebellum. Our work provides a proteomic framework to investigate cell type-specific mechanisms driving physiological and pathological states of the brain as well as complex tissues beyond the brain.
