Project description:Although-synuclein is implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and related disorders, it remains unclear whether specific conformations or levels of-synuclein assemblies are toxic and how they cause progressive loss of human dopaminergic neurons. To address this issue, we used iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons with -synuclein triplication or controls where endogenous -synuclein was imprinted into synthetic or disease-relevant conformations. We used -synuclein fibrils generated de novo or amplified from homogenates of brains affected with Parkinson’s disease (n=3) or multiple system atrophy (n=5). We found that a 2.5-fold increase in -synuclein levels in -synuclein gene triplication neurons promoted seeded aggregation in a dose and time-dependent fashion, which was associated with a further increase in -synuclein gene expression. Progressive neuronal loss was observed only in -synuclein triplication neurons seeded with brain-amplified fibrils. Transcriptomic analysis and isogenic correction of -synuclein triplication revealed that intraneuronal-synuclein levels solely and sufficiently explained vulnerability to neuronal death. Proximity-dependent biotinylation in living cells identified 56 differentially interacting proteins with endogenously assembled -synuclein including evasion of Parkinson’s disease-associated deglycase DJ-1 by aggregates triggered with brain amplified fibrils. Knockout of DJ-1 and related glyoxalase-1 in cell lines increased -synuclein aggregation. Similarly, methylglyoxal treatment or CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of DJ-1 in iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons enhanced fibril-induced aggregation and cell death. Thus, toxicity of -synuclein strains depends on aggregate burden, which is determined by monomer levels and conformation which dictates differential interactomes. Our results define parameters for iPSC-based modellingof -synuclein pathology using brain amplified fibrils and demonstrate how Parkinson’s disease-associated genes influence the phenotypic manifestation of strains in human neurons.
