Project description:Background: In aging and Alzheimer’s disease there are striking changes in CSF composition that may relate to altered choroid plexus function. Studying CP tissue gene expression at the BCSFB provides further insight into epithelial and stromal responses to aging and diseased states. Results: Highly significant differences in gene expression occurred in CP of advanced AD patients vs. normal controls. Immune-related pathways including acute phase response, cytokine/JAK/STAT signaling and cell adhesion were the most significantly enriched among the genes upregulated in AD patients, while methionine degradation, and protein translation genes were most notably downregulated. While the majority of gene expression changes in AD patients was also observed in FTD and HuD, there were significant differences among the disease groups. AD had the most unique expression findings, these genes being enriched in upregulated VEGF signaling and immune response proteins, e.g., interleukins. HuD/FTD patients uniquely displayed upregulated cadherin-mediated adhesion. Conclusions: This unique database of changes in CP tissue gene expression provides mechanistic insight into the effects of neurodegenerative diseases on CSF dynamics and hydrocephalus, particularly in regards to choroidal immune activation, metabolic homeostasis and resiliency of the CP.

Project description:BACKGROUND:In Alzheimer's disease, there are striking changes in CSF composition that relate to altered choroid plexus (CP) function. Studying CP tissue gene expression at the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier could provide further insight into the epithelial and stromal responses to neurodegenerative disease states. METHODS:Transcriptome-wide Affymetrix microarrays were used to determine disease-related changes in gene expression in human CP. RNA from post-mortem samples of the entire lateral ventricular choroid plexus was extracted from 6 healthy controls (Ctrl), 7 patients with advanced (Braak and Braak stage III-VI) Alzheimer's disease (AD), 4 with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and 3 with Huntington's disease (HuD). Statistics and agglomerative clustering were accomplished with MathWorks, MatLab; and gene set annotations by comparing input sets to GeneGo ( http://www.genego.com ) and Ingenuity ( http://www.ingenuity.com ) pathway sets. Bonferroni-corrected hypergeometric p-values of < 0.1 were considered a significant overlap between sets. RESULTS:Pronounced differences in gene expression occurred in CP of advanced AD patients vs. Ctrls. Metabolic and immune-related pathways including acute phase response, cytokine, cell adhesion, interferons, and JAK-STAT as well as mTOR were significantly enriched among the genes upregulated. Methionine degradation, claudin-5 and protein translation genes were downregulated. Many gene expression changes in AD patients were observed in FTD and HuD (e.g., claudin-5, tight junction downregulation), but there were significant differences between the disease groups. In AD and HuD (but not FTD), several neuroimmune-modulating interferons were significantly enriched (e.g., in AD: IFI-TM1, IFN-AR1, IFN-AR2, and IFN-GR2). AD-associated expression changes, but not those in HuD and FTD, were enriched for upregulation of VEGF signaling and immune response proteins, e.g., interleukins. HuD and FTD patients distinctively displayed upregulated cadherin-mediated adhesion. CONCLUSIONS:Our transcript data for human CP tissue provides genomic and mechanistic insight for differential expression in AD vs. FTD vs. HuD for stromal as well as epithelial components. These choroidal transcriptome characterizations elucidate immune activation, tissue functional resiliency, and CSF metabolic homeostasis. The BCSFB undergoes harmful, but also important functional and adaptive changes in neurodegenerative diseases; accordingly, the enriched JAK-STAT and mTOR pathways, respectively, likely help the CP in adaptive transcription and epithelial repair and/or replacement when harmed by neurodegeneration pathophysiology. We anticipate that these precise CP translational data will facilitate pharmacologic/transgenic therapies to alleviate dementia.

Project description:Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is essential for the development of successful therapies. Systematic studies on human post-mortem brain tissue of patients with genetic subtypes of FTD are currently lacking. The Risk and Modyfing Factors of Frontotemporal Dementia (RiMod-FTD) consortium therefore has generated multi-omics datasets for genetic subtypes of FTD to identify common and distinct molecular mechanisms disturbed in disease. This experiment contains data from smRNA-sequencing of human post-mortem brain tissue of the frontal lobe from patients with FTD caused by mutations in GRN, MAPT or C9orf72 and healthy controls.

Project description:Frontotemporal dementia is characterized by progressive atrophy of frontal and/or temporal cortices and an early age of onset. The disorder is highly heterogenic, comprising several genetic causes as well as a diverse phenotypic landscape of sporadic cases. Here we investigated the proteomic signatures of human brain frontal and temporal cortical lobes to identify key pathways involved in the three most frequent genetic subtypes of frontotemporal dementia. We included 38 patients with either an autosomal dominant repeat expansion in the C9ORF72 gene (n = 16), or a mutation in the GRN gene (n = 9) or the MAPT gene (n = 13), and 11 non-demented controls. Using data-independent quantitative proteomic analysis on laser-dissected tissues we identified brain region-specific protein signatures for these genetic frontotemporal dementia subtypes compared to non-demented controls. Using published single cell RNA expression data for cell type enrichment we deduced the involvement of major brain cell types in driving these different protein signatures. Using gene ontology analysis, we identified distinct genetic subtype- and cell type-specific biological processes. In the GRN-mediated subtype, we observed higher protein expression related to immune processes, with a role for endothelial cells and astrocytes, and lower protein expression implicating mitochondrial dysregulation, primarily in neurons. In the MAPT-mediated subtype, we observed higher protein expression associated with dysregulation of RNA processing in multiple cell types, and lower protein expression implicating altered neuronal functioning via dysregulation of oligodendrocytes. Comparison of the MAPT-mediated frontotemporal dementia signature with one obtained from Alzheimer’s disease brains demonstrated only partial overlap in protein dysregulation, thus separating general neurodegenerative processes and highlighting the frontotemporal dementia-specific involvement of altered RNA processing and oligodendrocyte dysfunction. Taken together, our results indicate a role for different brain cell types and biological mechanisms in frontotemporal dementia, revealing both genetic subtype-specific processes, and processes shared with other neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small (20-22 nucleotides) regulatory non-coding RNAs that strongly influence gene expression. Most prior studies addressing the role of miRNAs in neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) have focused on individual controls (n = 2), AD (n = 5), dementia with Lewy bodies (n = 4), hippocampal sclerosis of aging (n = 4), and frontotemporal lobar dementia (FTLD) (n = 5) cases, together accounting for the most prevalent ND subtypes. All cases had short postmortem intervals, relatively high-quality RNA, and state-of-the-art neuropathological diagnoses. The resulting data (over 113 million reads in total, averaging 5.6 million reads per sample) and secondary expression analyses constitute an unprecedented look into the human cerebral cortical miRNome at single nucleotide resolution. While we find no apparent changes in isomiR or miRNA editing patterns in correlation with ND pathology, our results validate and extend previous miRNA profiling studies with regard to quantitative changes in NDs. In agreement with this idea, we provide independent cohort validation for changes in miR-132 expression levels in AD (n = 8) and FTLD (n = 14) cases when compared to controls (n = 8). The identification of common and ND-specific putative novel brain miRNAs and/or short-hairpin molecules is also presented. The challenge now is to better understand the impact of these and other alterations on neuronal gene expression networks and neuropathologies. Using RNA deep sequencing, we sought to analyze in detail the small RNAs (including miRNAs) in the temporal neocortex gray matter from non-demented controls (n = 2), AD (n = 5), dementia with Lewy bodies (n = 4), hippocampal sclerosis of aging (n = 4), and frontotemporal lobar dementia (FTLD) (n = 5) cases, together accounting for the most prevalent ND subtypes.

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are the two most common forms of dementia that occur during aging. Both AD and FTD are associated with the pathological aggregation of proteins. Nevertheless, it remains unclear how these protein aggregates lead to neuronal cell death in these dementias. Here we show that the histone demethylase LSD1 is mislocalized with cytoplasmic aggregates in human cases of AD and FTD. In addition, loss of LSD1 systemically in adult mice is sufficient to recapitulate many aspects of these diseases. From these data, we propose that the aggregation of Tau and TDP-43 lead to neuronal cell death in AD and FTD by interfering with the continuous requirement for LSD1 to repress inappropriate transcription. Furthermore, we observe the inappropriate reactivation of stem cell loci in the hippocampal neurons of LSD1 mutant mice. This suggests that LSD1 may function to maintain the fate of differentiated neurons by repressing stem cell transcription.
