N6-methyladenosine regulates RNA metabolism and neurodegeneration in C9ORF72-ALS/FTD [seq_total_RNA-MeRIP]

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal mRNA modification and regulates RNA metabolism. Repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal degeneration (FTD). Here, we showed that m6A is downregulated in C9ORF72-ALS/FTD patient-derived iPSC-differentiated neurons and postmortem brain tissues. The global m6A hypomethylation leads to transcriptome-wide mRNA stabilization and upregulated gene expression, especially ones involved in synaptic activity and neuronal functions. The m6A modification in the C9ORF72 intron sequence preceding the expanded repeats enhances RNA degradation via the nuclear reader YTHDC1. The m6A reduction leads to increased accumulation of repeat RNA and poly-dipeptides. Moreover, the antisense RNA can also be regulated by m6A. Elevating m6A level significantly reduces both sense and antisense repeat RNA and poly-dipeptides, rescues global mRNA homeostasis, and improves survival of C9ORF72-ALS/FTD patient neurons.

Disruption of nuclear speckle integrity dysregulates RNA splicing in C9ORF72-FTD/ALS

Project description:Dysregulation of RNA processing contributes to neurodegenerative diseases, especially amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Expansion of an intronic (GGGGCC)n repeat within the C9ORF72 gene is the most common cause of both FTD and ALS (C9-FTD/ALS), characterized with aberrant repeat RNA foci in the nucleus and noncanonical translation-produced dipeptide repeat (DPR) protein inclusions in the cytoplasm. Here we elucidate that the (GGGGCC)n repeat RNA co-localizes with nuclear speckles and alters their phase separation properties and granule dynamics. Moreover, the essential nuclear speckle scaffold protein SRRM2 is sequestered into the poly-GR cytoplasmic inclusions in C9-FTD/ALS mouse model and patient postmortem tissues, exacerbating the nuclear speckle dysfunction. Impaired nuclear speckle integrity induces global exon-skipping and intron retention in human iPSC-derived neurons. Similar alternative splicing changes can be found in patient postmortem tissues. This work identified novel molecular mechanism of global RNA splicing defects by impaired nuclear speckle function in C9-FTD/ALS and revealed novel potential biomarkers or therapeutic targets.

Moderate intrinsic phenotypic alterations in C9orf72 ALS/FTD iPSC-microglia despite the presence of C9orf72 pathological features

Project description:To differentiate, characterize and examine intrinsic phenotypes of C9orf72 ALS/FTD patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells into microglia (iPSC-MG). Moderate molecular and functional differences were observed in C9orf72 iPSC-MG mono-cultures despite the presence of C9orf72 pathological features.

Poly-GR impairs translation elongation and increases ribotoxic stress response in C9ORF72-ALS/FTD

Project description:Hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9ORF72 gene is the most frequent inherited cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Poly-GR is one of the most toxic dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins translated from the RNA repeats. It has been shown to affect protein synthesis, but how this contributes to neurodegeneration is not clear. Here, we found that poly-GR inhibits global translation by perturbing translation elongation. We identified that the transcripts with relatively slow elongation rate tend to be further stalled by poly-GR in iPSC-differentiated neurons. This increases ribosome collision and ZAKα-mediated ribotoxic stress response (RSR), which elevates the phosphorylation of p38 and promotes cell death. Knockdown of ZAKα or pharmacological inhibition of p38 can ameliorate the GR toxicity, and improve the survival of C9ORF72-ALS/FTD patient-derived iPSC-neurons. Our study reveals molecular mechanism of poly-GR mediated toxicity on global translatome, and identifies RSR as a potential therapeutic target for C9ORF72-ALS/FTD.

Characterising day 90 human C9ORF72-ALS/FTD cerebral organoids at single cell level

Project description:A hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) in C9ORF72 is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Human imaging and experimental studies hint at early changes in the brain in C9-ALS/FTD, which remain poorly understood. To define these changes, we used cerebral organoid models derived from C9-ALS/FTD patients and controls to create a single cell RNA sequencing dataset at day 90. Together, these dataset will help to shed light on initial pathologies crucial for understanding disease onset and the design of therapeutic strategies.

C9ORF72 repeat expansion affects the proteome of primary skin fibroblasts in ALS and FTD

Project description:The study design involves the proteomics characterization of primary skin fibroblast cell lines derived from skin biopsies from patients affected by either amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Patients enrolled were divided in three groups: 1) ALS patients carrying the C9ORF72 repeat expansion as main genetic mutation (c9orf72 pos; n=6), 2) sporadic ALS patients, carrying mutations other than the C9ORF72 repeat expansion (c9orf72 neg; n=8), 3) FTD patients carrying the C9ORF72 repeat expansion (FTD; n=2). Total protein extracts were obtained from primary skin fibroblasts cultures and trypsin digested. Shotgun proteomics by LC-MS/MS (two technical replicates per sample) and systems biology analyses were performed as follows
