Project description:Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) is a special subtype of genetic human prion diseases that is caused by the D178N mutation of the prion protein gene (PRNP). In this study, global expression patterns of the thalamus and parietal cortex from three patients with FFI were analyzed by Affymetrix Human Genome U133+ 2.0 chip. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression in tissues from normal human and FFI patients thalamus, or parietal lobe. Tissues from normal human and FFI patients' thalamus, or parietal lobe were for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Selective neuronal vulnerability is a common, yet poorly understood characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases and is particularly prominent in familial prion diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and fatal familial insomnia (FFI), where different mutations in the prion protein manifest as neuropathologically distinct diseases. To determine how presence of mutant prion protein influences gene expression at pre-symptomatic stages, we used RiboTag to isolate cell type-specific, translating RNA from GABAergic, glutamatergic, somatostatin- (SST) and parvalbumin-expressing neurons of 9-month-old knock-in mice of CJD and FFI.

Project description:Cytoplasmic RNA granules have emerged as important elements of posttranscriptional and translational regulation. Stress, germinal and neuronal granules contain RNA-binding proteins capable of self-assembly due to prion-like domains. Hyperassembly mediated by these prion-like domains causes several neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we report a subset of the mammalian prion protein (PrP), also prone to self-assembly, propagation and to cause devastating diseases, is a component of naturally occurring messenger ribonucleoproteins (mRNPs) in adult mouse brains. Biomolecules co-purified with PrP revealed a multitude of diverse RNA granule associated proteins and mRNAs encoding members of the translation machinery, indicating a role in a specialized translation process. Importantly, PrP mutations linked to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) or fatal familial insomnia (FFI) severely impaired recovery of mRNPs from preclinical mice, possibly representing a very early pathological process. Thus, mutant PrP may cause dysfunction in RNA regulation, thereby joining the constantly expanding ranks of disease associated RNP granule proteins. The file Enrichment_analysis.xlsx contains mRNAs (FDR < 0.01) co-purified with PrP in both WT sample pools as identified by DESeq2 and the respective gene counts and log2 fold changes for CJD and FFI PrP:IP sample pools.

RIP-Seq analysis of mRNAs co-purified with PrP from murine brain cytoplasmic fractions in wild-type (WT), CJD and FFI mice. Each RIP-Seq and control (input) library represents a pool of 12 to 16 co-immunoprecipitation samples out of 3 to 4 mice. To control for post-homogenization artifacts, we conducted an experiment in which we prepared homogenates from WT and PrP-KO (Prnp-/-) mice of different genetic backgrounds (C57BL/6 and 129S4) and identified SNPs in RIP-Seq and control libraries to finally identify specifically co-purified mRNAs.

Project description:Insomnia is an economic burden and public health problem. This study aimed to explore potential biological pathways and protein networks for insomnia characterized by wakefulness after sleep. Proteomics analysis was performed in the insomnia group with wakefulness and the control group. The differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were enriched, then hub proteins were identified by protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and verified by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). Compared with the control group, the sleep time and efficiency of insomnia patients were decreased, awakening time and numbers after sleep onset were significantly increased (P < 0.001).

Project description:Human prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders characterized by neuronal damage in brain. Protein S-nitrosylation, the covalent adduction of a NO to cysteine, plays a role in human brain biology, and brain dysfunction is a prominent feature of pPrion disease, yet the direct brain targets of S-nitrosylation are largely unknown. We described the first proteomic analysis of global S-nitrosylation in brain tissues of sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (sCJD), fatal familial insomnia (FFI) and genetic CJD with a substitution of valine for glycine at codon 114 of the prion protein gene (G114V gCJD) accompanying with normal control with isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) combined with a nano-HPLC/Q Exactive Mass spectrometry platform. In parallel, we used several approaches to provide quality control for the experimentally defined S-nitrosylated proteins. Total 1509 S-nitrosylated proteins (SNO-proteins) were identified, and cerebellum tissues appeared to contain more commonly differentially expressed SNO-proteins (DESPs) than cortex of sCJD, FFI and gCJD. Three selected SNO-proteins were verified by Western blots, consistent with proteomics assays. Gene ontology analysis showed that more up-regulated DESPs were involved in metabolism, cell cytoskeleton/structure and immune system both in cortex and cerebellum, while more down-regulated ones in both regions were involved in cell cytoskeleton/structure, cell-cell communication and miscelaneous function protein. Pathway analysis suggested that systemic lupus erythematosus, pathogenic Escherichia coli infection, extracellular matrix-receptor interaction were the most commonly affected pathways, which were identified from at least two different diseases. Using STRING database, the network of immune system and cell cytoskeleton and structure were commonly identified in the context of the up-regulated and down-regulated DESPs, respectively, both in cortex and cerebellum. Our study thus have implications for understanding the molecular mechanisms of human prion diseases related to abnormal protein S-nitrosylation and pave the way for future studies focused on potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and therapy of human prion diseases.
