Gene expression of A53T and corrected IPSC driven to DA neurons and exposed to paraquat and maneb

ABSTRACT: Parkinson disease (PD) is characterized by extensive loss of A9 dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). A strong association has been reported between PD and exposure to mitochondrial toxins such as the environmental pesticides paraquat, maneb, and rotenone. Here, using a robust, patient-derived, stem cell model of PD that allows comparison of -synuclein ( -syn) mutant cells and isogeneic mutation-corrected controls, we identify mitochondrial toxin-induced perturbations specific to A53T -syn mutant A9-DA neurons (hNs). We report a novel molecular pathway whereby basal as well as toxin-induced oxidative and nitrosative stress inhibits the MEF2C-PGC1 transcription network in A53T hNs compared to corrected controls, contributing to mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptotic cell death. Our data provide mechanistic insight into gene-environmental interaction (GxE) in the pathogenesis of PD. Furthermore, using small molecule high-throughput screening, we identify the MEF2C-PGC1 pathway as a new drug target for therapeutic benefit in PD. In the current study, isogenic hiPSCs differing exclusively at a single amino acid (A53T) were exposed to either 2.8uM paraquat in combination with 1uM maneb for 24h or PBS vehicle control. Gene expression profile was analysed to assess the effect of both the genotype and exposure regiment on gene expression.

Project description:We have implemented an integrated Systems Biology approach to analyze overall transcriptomic reprogramming and systems level defense responses in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana during an insect (Brevicoryne brassicae) and a bacterial (Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato strain DC3000) attack. The main aim of this study was to identify the attacker-specific and general defense response signatures in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana while attacked by phloem feeding aphids or pathogenic bacteria. Defense responses and networks, unique and specific for aphid or Pseudomonas stresses were identified. Our analysis revealed a probable link between biotic stress and microRNAs in Arabidopsis and thus opened up a new direction to conduct large-scale targeted experiments to explore detailed regulatory links among them. The presented results provide a first comprehensive understanding of Arabidopsis - B. brassicae and Arabidopsis - P. syringae interactions at a systems biology level. Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Colombia-0) seeds were sown into 6-cm-diameter pots filled with a sterile soil mix (1.0 part soil and 0.5 part horticultural perlite). Plants were kept in growth chambers VM-CM-6tsch VB 1514 (VM-CM-6tch Industrietechnik GmbH, Germany) with a 16/8 h (light/dark) photoperiod at 22/18 M-BM-0C, 40/70% relative humidity, and 70/0 mmol m-2 s-1 light intensity. The Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato strain DC3000 culture was grown overnight in 10 ml of Kings B solution supplemented with antibiotics rifampicin (50 M-NM-<g mlM-bM-^HM-^R1) and kanamycin (25 M-NM-<g mlM-bM-^HM-^R1). Overnight culture was washed once in 10 mM MgCl2 and final cell densities were adjusted to approximately 0.20 at 600 nm (approximately 1.5 M-CM-^W 108 cfu mlM-bM-^HM-^R1) in 10 mM MgCl2. Plants were mock-challenged with 10 mM MgCl2 or inoculated with DC3000 strain, 3-4 leaves were infiltrated on the abaxial surface with a needleless 1-ml syringe.Whole rosettes were cut at the hypocotyls and harvested from Pseudomonas infested and mock-infected plants after 72 hours treatment. 4 biological replicates were prepared from each treatment, each containing rosettes from 15 individual plants. Differences in transcriptional responses were measured by comparing genes expression of Pseudomonas infected plants against mock-infected control plants.
