Toxic C9orf72 poly(PR) binds heterochromatin, disrupts HP1α and causes dsRNA accumulation

Project description:How G4C2 repeat expansions in C9orf72 cause frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is not understood. Here, we report the first mouse model to express poly(PR), a dipeptide repeat protein synthesized from expanded G4C2 repeats. Expression of GFP-(PR)50 throughout the mouse brain yielded progressive brain atrophy, neuron5 loss, loss of poly(PR)-positive cells and gliosis, culminating in motor and memory impairments. We found that poly(PR) bound DNA, localized to heterochromatin, and caused abnormal histone methylation, lamin invaginations, decreases in HP1α expression, and disruptions of HP1α liquid phases. These aberrations of histone methylation, lamins and HP1α, which regulate heterochromatin structure and gene expression, were accompanied by repetitive element10 expression and double-stranded RNA accumulation. Thus, we uncover new mechanisms by which poly(PR) contributes to c9FTD/ALS pathogenesis.

Translation deficits drive C9orf72 associated poly-GR/PR toxicity

Project description:Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients with the C9orf72 mutation show predominantly cytoplasmic aggregates of poly-GR and poly-PR proteins that are acutely toxic in various model systems. To identify the molecular mediators of neurotoxicity of poly-GR/PR, we analyzed their interactomes in primary neurons. GFP-(GR)149 and (PR)175-GFP preferentially interacted with RNA-binding proteins, including stress granule-associated and nucleolar proteins, as well as ribosomes. Overexpression of the poly-GR/PR interactors Staufen 1/2 (STAU1/2) and YBX1 led to cytoplasmic aggregation of poly-GR/PR into large stress granule-like inclusions, while the poly-GR/PR interactor nucleophosmin (NPM1) recruited poly-GR into the nucleolus. In addition, poly-PR expression reduced ribosome levels and translation, which is consistent with the widespread reduction of synaptic proteins detected by proteomics. Surprisingly, only GFP-(GR)53, but not GFP-(GR)149, localized to the nucleolus and reduced ribosome levels and translation in neurons, suggesting impaired ribosome biogenesis is driving the acute toxicity commonly observed in vitro. In C9orf72 patient brains, we detected co-aggregation of poly-GR/PR inclusions with ribosomes, but not stress granules. Partial sequestration of ribosomes may chronically impair protein synthesis and contribute to C9orf72 ALS/FTD pathogenesis.

Transcriptome-wide RNA binding analysis of C9orf72 poly(PR) dipeptides

Project description:An intronic GGGGCC repeat expansion in C9orf72 is a common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. The repeats are transcribed in both sense and antisense directions to generate distinct dipeptide repeat proteins, of which poly(GA), poly(GR) and poly(PR) have been implicated in contributing to neurodegeneration. Poly(PR) binding to RNA may contribute to toxicity, but analysis of poly(PR)-RNA binding on a transcriptome-wide scale has not yet been carried out. We therefore performed crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP) analysis in human cells to identify the RNA binding sites of poly(PR). We found that poly(PR) binds to nearly 600 RNAs, with the sequence GAAGA enriched at the binding sites. In vitro experiments showed that poly(GAAGA) RNA binds poly(PR) with higher affinity than control RNA and induces phase-separation of poly(PR) into condensates. These data indicate that poly(PR) preferentially binds to poly(GAAGA)-containing RNAs, which may have physiological consequences.

p53 is a central regulator driving neurodegeneration caused by C9orf72 poly(PR)

Project description:To analyze the epigenomic landscape of neurodegeneration caused by ALS-associated protein aggregation, we developed a modified version of ATAC-seq that works on primary neurons. We discovered that C9orf72-ALS/FTD associated poly(PR) activated a remarkably specific signature of chromatin accessibility, involving transcriptional targets of the tumor suppressor gene p53. Our findings reveal an unexpected role of p53 as a mediator of neurodegeneration elicited by poly(PR) and provide an example of how ATAC-seq can now be applied to neurons to define mechanisms of neurodegeneration.

C9orf72-ALS human iPSC microglia are pro-inflammatory and toxic to co-cultured motor neurons via MMP9

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive motor neuron loss, with additional pathophysiological involvement of non-neuronal cells such as microglia. The commonest ALS-associated genetic variant is a hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) mutation in C9orf72. Here, we study its consequences for microglial function using human iPSC-derived microglia. By RNA-sequencing, we identify enrichment of pathways associated with immune cell activation and cyto-/chemokines in C9orf72 HRE mutant microglia versus healthy controls, most prominently after LPS priming. Specifically, LPS-primed C9orf72 HRE mutant microglia show consistently increased expression and release of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9). LPS-primed C9orf72 HRE mutant microglia are toxic to co-cultured healthy motor neurons, which is ameliorated by concomitant application of an MMP9 inhibitor. Finally, we identify release of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) as a marker for MMP9-dependent microglial dysregulation in co-culture. These results demonstrate cellular dysfunction of C9orf72 HRE mutant microglia, and a non-cell-autonomous role in driving C9orf72-ALS pathophysiology in motor neurons through MMP9 signaling.

A heterochromatin gene signature unveils HP1α mediating neuroendocrine prostate cancer development and aggressiveness

Project description:Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is a lethal subtype of prostate cancer (PCa) with hyperchromatic nuclei being a distinguishing histopathological feature. Here we show that, underlying this distinct nuclear structure, heterochromatin related genes are significantly enriched in NEPC. Among them, heterochromatin protein 1α (HP1α) expression is increased early in NE transdifferentiation and is consistently elevated in clinical NEPC samples. Functional studies showed that HP1α knockdown attenuates NEPC tumor growth by inhibiting proliferation and survival. Its ectopic expression significantly promotes NE transdifferentiation in adenocarcinoma cells subjected to androgen deprivation treatment. To identify mechanisms underlying the function of HP1α involved in NEPC cell proliferation and adenocarcinoma cell NE transdifferentiation, we analyzed gene expression profiles from stable NEPC cell lines with control or HP1α knockdown, and adenocarcinoma cell lines with control or HP1α overexpression, respectively.
