Project description:To prevent or ameliorate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) requires that we understand its molecular basis. AD develops over decades but detailed molecular analysis of AD brains is limited to postmortem tissue where the stresses initiating the disease may be obscured by compensatory responses and neurodegenerative processes. Rare, dominant mutations in a small number of genes drive early onset of familial AD (EOfAD). Numerous transgenic models of AD have been constructed in mouse and other organisms based on these mutant genes, but transcriptomic analysis of these models has raised serious doubts regarding their representation of the disease state. Objective: In the absence of an understanding of the molecular mechanism(s) underlying AD, we posit that the most valid approach is to model the human genetic state as closely as possible – i.e. to analyse single, heterozygous EOfAD-like mutations of endogenous genes in intact brains. We used genome editing to introduce an EOfAD-like mutation (Q96_K97del) into the endogenous presenilin 1 (psen1) gene of zebrafish. We analysed transcriptomes of young adult (6-month-old) entire brains from a family of heterozygous mutant and wild type sibling fish. Gene ontology (GO) analysis revealed effects on mitochondria, particularly ATP synthesis, and on ATP-dependent processes including vacuolar acidification.

Project description:Background: Mutations in PRESENILIN 1 (PSEN1) which still produce a transcript encoding a full-length, but mutant protein are the most common cause of early-onset familial Alzheimer’s disease (EOfAD). The only frameshift mutations found in PSEN1 causes familial acne inversa (fAI) without EOfAD. The molecular consequences of heterozygosity for these mutations, and how they lead to completely different diseases, remains largely unexplored. Objective: To identify the similarities and differences of the effects of heterozygosity for mutations in psen1 causing EOfAD (T428del) or fAI (W233fs) on the brain transcriptome of young adult zebrafish. Methods: RNA sequencing was performed with high read depth on mRNA isolated from the brains of young adult (6 month old) zebrafish arising from a single family which contained either a single, heterozygous EOfAD-like or fAI-like mutation in the endogenous psen1 gene, and their wild type siblings. Results: Both mutations appeared to downregulate genes encoding the ribosomal subunits, and upregulated genes involved in inflammation. Genes involved in energy metabolism appeared to only be affected in EOfAD-like mutants, while genes involved in Notch, Wnt and neutrophin signalling pathways were only significantly altered by the fAI-like mutation. Further investigation of direct transcriptional targets of Notch revealed an apparent increase in Notch signalling. Conclusion: We observed both common, and distinct effects on transcriptomes of the heterozygous mutants compared to their wild type siblings. The distinct effects observed may shed light to how these mutations give rise to completely different diseases.

Project description:We established two clones of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) with the presenilin 2 mutation, N141 (PS2-1 iPSC and PS2-2 iPSC) by retroviral transduction of primary human fibroblasts. To detect the copy number dependent gene expression profiles in primary fibroblast carrying the presenilin 2 mutation N141(before reprogramming) and PS2-1 iPSC and PS2-2 iPSC(after reprogramming), this experiment was designed. Genomic DNA of primary fibroblasts carrying the presenilin 2 mutation N141 and undifferentiated PS2-1 iPSC and PS2-2 iPSC were collected. Then, they were applied in this experiment.

Project description:Presenilin 1 (PSEN1) is the most frequently mutated gene in early-onset sporadic and familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD). The PSEN1 complex displays gamma-secretase activity and promotes cleavage of the C99-terminal fragment of the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) into the A42 peptide. PSEN1 is also involved in vesicle transport across ER and mitochondria in so called mitochondria associated membranes. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from 5 controls and 5 FAD cases carrying the PSEN1 A246E and L286V mutations. Unexpectedly, global gene expression profile analysis of FAD iPSCs revealed profound perturbation of mitochondrial, Golgi apparatus and ER pathways. PSEN1, APP and Nicastrin were highly expressed in iPSCs and PSEN1 localized to membrane-bound organelles. FAD iPSCs grown slower and showed elevated cell death together with abnormally high A42 secretion. Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) were elevated in FAD iPSCs and treatment with a ROS scavenger significantly improved cell death, proliferation, and DNA damage. However, it could not improve the severe ATP deficit. Inhibition of gamma-secretase activity further exacerbated the overall FAD iPSC phenotype. Cortical neurons produced from the differentiation of FAD iPSCs showed Alzheimer’s pathology and TGFb pathway hyper-activation. PSEN1-mutant iPSCs may serve as a new model to perform genome-wide genetic screens and to study FAD pathophysiology and PSEN1 cellular function.

Project description:Proteins involved in the Alzheimer’s disease (AD), such as amyloid precursor protein (APP) and presenilin-1 (PS1), play critical roles in early development of the central nervous system (CNS), as well as in innate immune and glial cell responses. However, it is unknown whether these alterations start on development of the CNS of carriers of APPswe and PS1dE9 mutations , associated with familial AD. Using microarray technology we studied the genome-wide gene expression profiles in the differentiated neural progenitor cells (NPCs) from wild-type (WT) and APPswe/PS1dE9 embryo telencephalon. Differential gene expression analysis indicated the occurrence of strong innate immune and glial cell responses in APPswe/PS1dE9 neurospheres, involving mainly microglial cells, inflammatory mediators and chemokines. APPswe/PS1dE9 cells expressed up to 100-fold more CCL12, CCL5, CCL3, C3, CX3CR1, TLR2 and TNF-alpha, which was confirmed by real time PCR. The expression of activated microglia marker Iba-1 was also 20-fold upregulated in APPswe/PS1dE9 cells. The secretome of APPswe/PSldE9 differentiated NPCs increased the chemoattraction of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) compared to the secretome of WT cells. Taken together, our results demonstrated that neurogenic niche obtained from differentiation of embryonic APPswe/PS1dE9 neurospheres is an excellent model for AD in vitro, since this culture spontaneously presents several alterations observed in the adult-brain with this pathology. Moreover, our data strengthen pathophysiological hypotheses that propose an early neurodevelopmental origin for familial AD.

Project description:Our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis is currently limited by difficulties in obtaining live neurons from patients and the inability to model the sporadic form of AD. It may be possible to overcome these challenges by reprogramming primary cells from patients into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). We reprogrammed primary fibroblasts from two patients with familial AD (both caused by a duplication of APP1, APPDp), two with sporadic AD (sAD1, 2) and two non-demented control individuals (NDCs) into iPSC lines. Neurons from differentiated cultures were FACS-purified and characterized. Purified cultures contained >90% neurons, clustered with fetal brain mRNA samples by microarray criteria, and could form functional synaptic contacts. Virtually all cells exhibited normal electrophysiological activity. Relative to controls, iPSC-derived, purified neurons from the two APPDp patients and patient sAD2 exhibited significantly higher levels of secreted Aβ1-40, phospho-tauThr231 (pTau) and active GSK3β (aGSK3β). Neurons from APPDp and sAD2 patients also accumulated large Rab5-positive early endosomes compared to controls. Treatment of purified neurons with β-secretase inhibitors, but not g-secretase inhibitors, caused significant reductions in pTau and aGSK3β levels. These results suggest a direct relationship between APP proteolytic processing, but not Aβ, in GSK3β activation and tau phosphorylation in human neurons. Additionally, we observed that neurons with the genome of one sAD patient exhibited the phenotypes seen in familial AD samples. More generally, we demonstrate that iPSC technology can be used to observe phenotypes relevant to AD, even though it can take decades for overt disease to manifest in patients.

Project description:We set up a 3D model based on iPSCs derived from patients with familial forms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and healthy non-demented control. We created cerebral organoids (COs), verified their ability to mimic AD in vitro, and used it to explore early events and the progression of AD pathogenesis. Our data reveal that despite similar expression of cell-type-specific genes during CO maturation in vitro, AD-iPSCs derived COs show limited tissue patterning and altered cellular development. These findings complement unique single-cell sequencing data of AD-iPSCs derived COs confirming this observation and uncovering that a sub-set of neurons in AD-iPSCs likely differentiates prematurely while at the same time retaining the expression of progenitor marker PAX6.

Project description:Presenilin (PS) proteins represent the catalytic subunits of γ-secretase, and play a critical role in the generation of the Amyloid β (Aβ) peptide and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Indeed, mutations in presenilin 1 (PS1) or PS2 are a major cause of early onset familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD). However, PS proteins also exert multiple functions beyond Aβ generation. In this study, we examine the individual roles of PS1 and PS2 in cellular cholesterol metabolism. Deletion of PS1 or PS2 in mouse models led to cholesterol accumulation in cerebral neurons. Cholesterol accumulation was also observed in lysosomes of embryonic fibroblasts from PS1-KO and PS2-KO mice, and associated with decreased expression of the Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) protein involved in intracellular cholesterol transport at late endosome/lysosome. Mass spectrometry and complementary biochemical methods also revealed abnormal N-glycosylation of NPC1 and several other membrane proteins in PS1-KO and PS2-KO cells. Interestingly, pharmacological inhibition of N-glycosylation resulted in intracellular cholesterol accumulation prominently in lysosomes as well as decrease of NPC1 expression in wild-type MEFs, thereby resembling the changes in PS1-KO and PS2-KO MEFs. In turn, treatment of PS1-KO and PS2-KO MEFs with a chaperone inducer, Arimoclomol, attenuated decrease of NPC1 and rescued the lysosomal cholesterol accumulation. Additionally, the intracellular cholesterol accumulation in PS1-KO and PS2-KO MEFs was prevented by NPC1 overexpression. Collectively, these data indicate that PS/γ-secretase dysfunction results in an impairment of protein N-glycosylation, which eventually causes NPC1 decrease and intracellular cholesterol accumulation. 3'RNASeq of mouse embryonic fibroblasts with PS1- or PS2-deficiency compared with controls.
