Project description:Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by loss of motor neurons. SOD1 may have a toxic role in the pathogenesis of ALS when the protein aggregates in the cytoplasm; increased accumulation of soluble nuclear SOD1 (nSOD1) represents a protective cellular reaction.

Project description:Coding and long non-coding RNA metabolism is now revealing its crucial role in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) pathogenesis. In this work, we performed Illumina RNA-seq analysis on Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) from Sporadic and mutated ALS patients (mutations in FUS, TARDBP, SOD1, C9Orf72 and VCP genes) and healthy controls. Our aim is the whole-transcriptome characterization of PBMCs content, both in terms of coding and non coding RNAs, in order to compare the disease state to the healthy controls, both for sporadic patients and for mutated patients. Out dataset is a starting point for the omni-comprehensive analysis of coding and long non coding RNAs, from an easy to withdraw, manage and store tissue that shows to be a suitable model for RNA profiling in ALS.

Project description:Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by a progressive loss of upper and lower motor neurons, leading to progressive weakness and atrophy of limb, bulbar and respiratory muscles. Since genetics alone fails to explain the etiology of ALS, the investigation of the epigenome might provide novel insights in disease mechanisms. Among all the different histone modifications the repressive trimethylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3) is of particular interest in the context of ALS for several reasons. In this study, we interrogate the epigenetic landscape in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of fALS patient with either chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72) or superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) mutation and aimed to identify key epigenetic footprints of the disease. To this end, we used an integrative approach that combines chromatin immunoprecipitation targeting H3K27me3 (ChIP-Seq) with the matching gene expression data to gain new insights into the impact of chromatin remodeling on ALS-related molecular mechanisms. In particular, multiple lines of evidence in this work indicated that one of the hub molecules that modulates changes in PBMC transcriptome in SOD1-positive ALS cases is ATF3. We also reported a potential suppression of SNAP25, with ATF3 involved as well, in SOD1-positive ALS blood.

Project description:Recent genetic studies of ALS patients have identified several forms of ALS that are associated with mutations in RNA binding proteins. In animals or cultured cells, such defects broadly affect RNA metabolism. This raises the question of whether all forms of ALS have general effects on RNA metabolism. We tested this hypothesis in a mouse model of ALS that is transgenic for a human disease-causing mutation in the enzyme superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1). We analyzed RNA from laser-captured spinal cord motor neuron cell bodies of the mutant SOD1 strain, comparing the RNA profile with that from a corresponding wild-type SOD1 transgenic strain. We prepared the samples from animals that were presymptomatic, but which manifested abnormalities at the cellular level that are seen in ALS, including aggregation of the mutant protein in motor neuron cell bodies and defective morphology of neuromuscular junctions, the connections between neuron and muscle. We observed only minor changes in the level and splicing of RNA in the SOD1 mutant animals as compared with wild-type, suggesting that mutant SOD1 produces the toxic effects of ALS by a mechanism that does not involve global RNA disturbance. RNA-Seq of laser microdissection of motor neuron bodies from two biological replicates each of SOD1 YFP (wildtype 592) and SOD1 G85R YFP (737) transgenic mice.

Project description:Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) is one of the causative genes associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disorder. SOD1 aggregation contributes to ALS pathogenesis. A fraction of the protein is localized in the nucleus (nSOD1), where it seems to be involved in the regulation of genes participating in the oxidative stress response and DNA repair. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from sporadic ALS (sALS) patients (n = 18) and healthy controls (n = 12) to perform RNA-sequencing experiments and differential expression analysis. Patients were stratified into groups with "high" and "low" levels of nSOD1. We obtained different gene expression patterns for high- and low-nSOD1 patients. Differentially expressed genes in high nSOD1 form a cluster similar to controls compared to the low-nSOD1 group. The pathways activated in high-nSOD1 patients are related to the upregulation of HSP70 molecular chaperones. We demonstrated that, in this condition, the DNA damage is reduced, even under oxidative stress conditions. Our findings highlight the importance of the nuclear localization of SOD1 as a protective mechanism in sALS patients.

Project description:Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is generally a late onset neurodegenerative disease. Mutations in the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene accounts for approximately 20% of familial ALS and 2% of all ALS cases. Although a number of hypothesis have been proposed to explain mutant SOD1 toxicity, the molecular mechanisms of the disease remain unclear. SOD1 linked ALS is thought to function in a non-cell autonomous manner such that the motoneurons are critical for the onset and glia contribute to the progress of the disease. To dissect the roles of motoneurons and glia, we used the Gal4-UAS system to determine gene expression changes following the expression of mutant human SOD1 (G85R) selectively in either motoneurons or glia, and concurrently in motoneurons and glia of flies. We conducted a microarray on young (5 days old) and old (45 days old) flies expressing G85R in these cell types and identified a number of genes involved in a variety of processes. The candidate genes identified by this screen may help elucidate the individual and combined contributions of motoneurons and glial cells in ALS. We used microarrays to evaluate the transcriptional profile of 5 day old and 45 day old flies expressing mutant human SOD1 (G85R) in a tissue specific manner in motoneurons, glia, and together in motoneurons and glia and compared the expression to flies expressing wild-type drosophila SOD1 controls. The Gal4-UAS system was used to drive tissue expression of either mutant human SOD1 (G85R) or wild-type drosophila SOD1 (dSOD1) in flies. Flies containing either the motoneuronal driver, D42-Gal4, the glial driver, M1B-Gal4, or the combined motoneuronal and glial drivers, D42+M1B-Gal4 were crossed to flies containing either mutant human SOD1, UAS-G85R, or wild-type drosophila SOD1, UAS-dSOD1, as a control. Adult male progeny were collected within 24 hours after eclosion and aged to 5 (5d) and 45 (45d) days old. Groups of 10 flies were maintained in vials of cornmeal agar food and transferred to fresh food every 5-7 days. For each Gal4-UAS line and each age, 3 biological replicates consisting of 40 whole flies were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and used to isolate total RNA, for a total of 36 samples.
