Project description:We used microarrays to investigate whether transcriptional dysregulation in hypothalamus is caused by expression of the huntingtin (HTT) protein We used two different Huntington's disease mouse models: BACHD mice with ubiquitous full-length mutant HTT expression (97 CAG repeats) and wild-type mice with targeted bilateral injections of wild-type or mutant HTT (853 amino acids length, wild-type HTT: 18 CAG repeats, mutant HTT: 79 CAG repeats) in hypothalamus.

Project description:Transcriptional dysregulation is an early feature of Huntington's disease (HD). We observed gene-specific changes in H3K4me3 at transcriptionally repressed promoters in R6/2 mouse and human HD brain. Genome-wide analysis showed a novel chromatin signature for this mark. Reducing the levels of the H3K4 demethylase SMCX/Jarid1c in primary neurons reversed down-regulation of key neuronal genes caused by mutant Huntingtin (Htt) expression. Finally, reduction of SMCX/Jarid1c in primary neurons from BACHD mice or the single Jarid1 in a Drosophila HD model was protective. Therefore, targeting this epigenetic signature may be an effective strategy to ameliorate the consequences of HD.

Project description:Expressing a mutant fragment of huntingtin (Htt) in yeast produces several HD-relevant phenotypes. We used microarrays to study global change in expression induced by this mutant htt fragment. Expression was also analysed in three suppressor deletion strains expressing a toxic mutant htt fragment: bna4Δ, mbf1Δ, and ume1Δ.

Project description:Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by the aggregation of polyglutamine-expanded huntingtin (HTT), proceeding from soluble oligomers to end-stage inclusions. The molecular mechanisms of how protein aggregation leads to neuronal dysfunction are not well understood. We employed mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics to dissect spatiotemporal mechanisms of neurodegeneration using the R6/2 mouse model of HD. We show that extensive remodeling of the soluble brain proteome correlates with changes in insoluble aggregate formation during disease progression. In-depth characterization of HTT inclusion bodies uncovered an unprecedented complexity of several hundred proteins. Sequestration to inclusions was dependent on protein expression levels and the presence of aggregation-prone amino acid sequence features, such as low-complexity regions or coiled-coil domains. Overexpression of several sequestered proteins ameliorated HTT toxicity and modified the aggregation behavior in an in vitro model of HD. Our study provides a comprehensive and spatiotemporally-resolved proteome resource of HD progression, indicating that widespread loss of protein function contributes to aggregate-mediated toxicity.

Project description:Huntington's disease (HD) is a dominantly inherited genetic disease caused by mutant huntingtin (htt) protein with expanded polyglutamine tracts. A neuropathological hallmark of HD is the presence of neuronal inclusions of mutant htt. p62 is an important regulatory protein in selective autophagy, a process by which aggregated proteins are degraded, and it is associated with several neurodegenerative disorders including HD. Here we investigated the effect of p62 depletion in three HD model mice: R6/2, HD190QG and HD120QG mice. We found that loss of p62 in these models led to longer lifespans and reduced nuclear inclusions, although cytoplasmic inclusions increased with polyglutamine length. In mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) with or without p62, mutant htt with a nuclear localization signal (NLS) showed no difference in nuclear inclusion between the two MEF types. In the case of mutant htt without NLS, however, p62 depletion increased cytoplasmic inclusions. Furthermore, to examine the effect of impaired autophagy in HD model mice, we crossed R6/2 mice with Atg5 conditional knockout mice. These mice also showed decreased nuclear inclusions and increased cytoplasmic inclusions, similar to HD mice lacking p62. These data suggest that the genetic ablation of p62 in HD model mice enhances cytoplasmic inclusion formation by interrupting autophagic clearance of polyQ inclusions. This reduces polyQ nuclear influx and paradoxically ameliorates disease phenotypes by decreasing toxic nuclear inclusions. Gene expression profiles were analyzed to examine the effects of p62 depletion in mouse with or without mutant huntingtin exon 1 To examine the effect of p62 depletion on the transcriptome of Huntington's disease model mice, we crossed p62 knockout mice with HD model mice. We extracted total RNA from the striatum of these mice at 8 weeks and used for a microaaray analysis. The samples are HD transgenic mice with p62 knockout (HD_p62KO), HD mice with normal p62 (HD_p62WT), non-HD-transgenic mice with p62 knockout (NT_p62KO), and non-HD-transgenic mice with normal p62 (NT_p62WT).
