Project description:Translational research is commonly performed in the C57B6/J mouse strain, chosen for its genetic homogeneity and phenotypic uniformity. Here, we evaluate the suitability of the white-footed deer mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) as a model organism for aging research, offering a comparative analysis against C57B6/J and diversity outbred (DO) Mus musculus strains. Our study includes comparisons of body composition, skeletal muscle function, and cardiovascular parameters, shedding light on potential applications and limitations of P. leucopus in aging studies. Notably, P. leucopus exhibits distinct body composition characteristics, emphasizing reduced muscle force exertion and a unique metabolism, particularly in fat mass. Cardiovascular assessments showed changes in arterial stiffness, challenging conventional assumptions and highlighting the need for a nuanced interpretation of aging-related phenotypes. Our study also highlights inherent challenges associated with maintaining and phenotyping P. leucopus cohorts. Behavioral considerations, including anxiety-induced responses during handling and phenotyping assessment, pose obstacles in acquiring meaningful data. Moreover, the unique anatomy of P. leucopus necessitates careful adaptation of protocols designed for Mus musculus. While showcasing potential benefits, further extensive analyses across broader age ranges and larger cohorts are necessary to establish the reliability of P. leucopus as a robust and translatable model for aging studies.

Project description:This data set reports RNA sequencing results obtained from whole cerebral cortices of NEFH-tTa/tetO-hTDP43∆NLS transgenic (“rNLS8”) mice that were actively immunized with C-terminal fragments of the human TDP-43 protein. The widely used rNLS8 mouse model overexpresses cytoplasmically mislocalized human TDP-43 in a doxycycline-inducible manner, mimicking ALS/FTD-like CNS pathology and motor dysfunction (Walker et al., 2015). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety profile and therapeutic potential of various human TDP-43 epitopes (up to approximately 40 amino acids in length) which were used as antigens for active immunization in a rapidly progressing mouse model of TDP-43 proteinopathy. To this end, we pre-screened 15 peptide antigens, collectively spanning the entire TDP-43 protein sequence, for immunogenicity and safety. Next, we repeatedly immunized “rNLS8” mice with the most promising antigens prior to transgene induction, and performed bulk RNA sequencing of the neocortex, since this region is considerably affected by TDP-43 pathology in both humans and the mouse model. We asked whether active immunization with two different peptide combinations leading to high antibody titers would affect – i.e. prevent – transcriptional alterations upon transgene induction. In summary, we provide a bulk neocortical gene expression profile of actively immunized (and mock-treated) ALS/FTD-resembling “rNLS8” mice.

Project description:TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is normally a nuclear RNA-binding protein that exhibits a range of functions including regulation of alternative splicing, RNA trafficking and RNA stability. However, in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 inclusions (FTLD-TDP), TDP-43 is abnormally phosphorylated, ubiquitinated, and cleaved, and is mislocalized to the cytoplasm where it forms distinctive aggregates. We previously developed a mouse model expressing human TDP-43 with a mutation in its nuclear localization signal (ΔNLS-hTDP-43) so that the protein preferentially localizes to the cytoplasm. These mice did not exhibit a significant number of cytoplasmic aggregates, but did display a loss of endogenous mouse nuclear TDP-43 as well as dramatic changes in gene expression as measured by microarray. Here, we analyze RNA-sequencing data from the ∆NLS-hTDP-43 mouse model, together with published RNA-sequencing data obtained previously from TDP-43 antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) knockdown mice and High Throughput Sequencing of RNA isolated by CrossLinking ImmunoPrecipitation (HITS-CLIP) data of TDP-43’s RNA binding targets to further investigate the dysregulation of gene expression in the ∆NLS model. This analysis reveals that the transcriptomic effects of the overexpression of the ΔNLS-hTDP-43 transgene are likely due to a gain of cytoplasmic function. Moreover, cytoplasmic TDP-43 expression alters transcripts that regulate chromatin assembly, the nucleolus, lysosomal function, and histone 3’ untranslated region (UTR) processing. These transcriptomic alterations correlate with observed histologic abnormalities in heterochromatin structure and nuclear size in transgenic mouse and human brains.

Project description:The TMEM106B gene, encoding a lysosomal membrane protein, is closely linked with brain aging and neurodegeneration. TMEM106B has been identified as a risk factor for several neurodegenerative diseases characterized by aggregation of the RNA-binding protein TDP-43, including frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE). To investigate the role of TMEM106B in TDP-43 proteinopathy, we ablated TMEM106B in the TDP-43Q331K knock-in mouse line, which expresses an ALS-linked TDP-43 mutation at endogenous levels. We found that TMEM106B deficiency leads to glial activation, Purkinje cell loss, and behavioral deficits in TDP-43Q331K mice without inducing typical TDP-43 pathology. Interestingly, ablation of TMEM106B results in significant body weight gain, increased fat deposition, and hepatic triglyceride (TG) accumulation in TDP-43Q331K mice. In addition, lipidomic and transcriptome analysis shows a profound alteration in lipid metabolism in the liver of TDP-43Q331KTmem106b-/- mice. Our studies reveal a novel function of TMEM106B and TDP-43 in lipid metabolism and provide new insights into their roles in neurodegeneration.

Project description:TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is the major protein component of neuronal inclusions characterizing the adult-onset neurodegenerative diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitinated inclusions (FTLD-TDP). Whereas TDP-43 was originally identified as a DNA-binding protein that bound the HIV-1 trans-activation response (TAR) DNA element, recent work elucidating its role in neurodegenerative disease pathogenesis has largely focused on TDP-43’s role as an RNA-binding protein. Here, we demonstrate that in human cells, TDP-43 binds DNA genome-wide, with strong enrichment at small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes. Moreover, TDP-43 binding to snRNA genes is not dependent on RNA, and the snRNA products of TDP-43-bound sites are incorporated into Smith antigen-containing snRNPs. Furthermore, TDP-43 knockdown increases expression of bound snRNA genes, supporting a role for TDP-43 in the negative regulation of snRNA biogenesis. Finally, ALS-associated missense mutations in the gene encoding TDP-43, TARDBP, reduce binding to snRNA genes. Together, our data suggest that the DNA-binding role of TDP-43 is important in health and in disease, and aberrant TDP-43 binding to snRNA gene loci may alter splicing function in ALS and FTLD-TDP.
