Project description:TDP-43, FUS, and TAF15 are implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia. We integrate CLIP-seq and RNA Bind-N-Seq technologies to discover that TAF15 binds to ~4,900 RNAs enriched for GGUA motifs. In the mouse brain, TAF15 and FUS, but not TDP-43, exhibit strikingly similar RNA binding profiles, yet they alter the expression of distinct mRNA populations upon their individual depletions. TAF15 has a minimal role in alternative splicing and instead affects RNA turnover, consistent with an enrichment of TAF15 binding sites in 3â?? untranslated regions. In human stem cell-derived motor neurons, loss of both TAF15 and FUS affected mRNAs distinct from those altered by loss of either protein alone, revealing redundant roles for TAF15 and FUS in maintaining mRNA levels. Furthermore, concomitant rather than individual depletion of TAF15 and FUS more closely resembles RNA profiles of motor neurons derived from FUS R521G ALS patients or from late-stage, sporadic ALS patients. Our study reveals convergent and divergent mechanisms by which FUS, TAF15 and TDP-43 affects RNA metabolism in neurological disease.

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of the immune cells in response to inflammatory stimuli. This metabolic process involves a switch from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS)to glycolysis, or alterations in other metabolic pathways. However, most of the experimental findings have been acquired in murine immune cells and little is known about the metabolic reprogramming of human microglia. In this study, we investigated the transcriptomic and metabolic profiles of mouse and iPSC-derived human microglia challenged with the TLR4 agonist LPS. We found that both species displayed a metabolic shift and an overall increased glycolytic gene signature in response to LPS treatment. The metabolic reprogramming was characterized by the upregulation of hexokinases in mouse microglia and phosphofructokinases in human microglia. This study provides the first direct comparison of energy metabolism between mouse and human microglia, highlighting the species-specific pathways involved in immunometabolism and the importance of considering these differences in translational research.

Project description:Generation of oligodendrocytes (OLs) is a sophisticated multistep process, mechanistic underpinnings of which are not fully understood and demand further investigation. To systematically profile proteome dynamics during human embryonic stem cell (hESC) differentiation into OLs, we applied in-depth quantitative proteomics at different developmental stages and monitored changes in protein abundance using a multiplexed tandem mass tag (TMT) based proteomics approach. Findings: Our proteome data provided a comprehensive protein expression profile that highlighted specific expression clusters based on the protein abundances over the course of human OL lineage differentiation. The proteome profile of OL lineage cells revealed 378 proteins that were specifically up-regulated only in one differentiation stage. In addition, comparative pairwise analysis of differentiation stages demonstrated that abundances of 352 proteins differentially changed between consecutive differentiation time points. Our results highlighted the eminence of the planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling and autophagy (particularly macroautophagy) in the progression of OL lineage differentiation

Project description:To isolate photoreceptor precursors fit for transplantation, we adapted a 3D differentiation protocol that generates neuroretina from mouse ES cells. We used an adeno-associated viral vector (pseudotype2/9)carrying a GFP reporter under the control of a Rhodopsin promoter (AAV2/9.Rhop.GFP)to select rod precursors. AAV2/9.Rhop.GFP+ rods were sorted at days 26 and 34 and post natal day P12.

Project description:We performed RNA-seq experiments on two samples (cortical neurons and spinal motor neurons) from normal induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and another two samples (cortical neurons and spinal motor neurons) derived from SPG3A (an early onset form of hereditary spastic paraplegia) iPSCs. This initial experiment is to test the system and set up a baseline for future studies. Cortical projection neurons and spinal motor neurons were differentiated from same batch of iPSCs in parallel to minimize variations. The differentiation of cortical neurons and spinal motor neurons are based on protocols well-established in our group.

Project description:TAF15, an RNA binding protein was recently implicated in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). ALS is a fatal neurodegenerative disease. We report the identification of the conserved neuronal RNA targets of TAF15 and the assessment of the impact of TAF15 depletion on the neuronal transcriptome. Our study uncovers regulation of splicing of sets of neuronal RNAs encoding proteins with essential roles in synaptic activities including glutamergic receptors such as zeta-1 subunit of the glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor (Grin1). Identification of TAF15 neuronal targets using normal human brain samples and mouse neurons. Mouse background: E14Tg2a.4 wildtype cells derived from 129P2/OlaHsd.

Project description:Knockdown of HSPA9 causes a dose-dependent decrease in erythroid maturation of CD34+ cells differentiated in culture. Due to differences in the degree of differentiation, a more homogeneous population was selected for using FACS and the gene expression profile of these cells was compared. We used a lentiviral vector (pLKO.1) expressing short hairpin RNAs targeting either luciferase (control shLUC) or HSPA9 (shHSPA9-433) to knock down expression of HSPA9. We isolated CD34+ cells from human cord blood (Day 0), transduced cells with a lentiviral vector (Day 1), selected for transduced cells with puromycin and differentiated them in erythroid culture media before FACS isolation of the CD34+/CD71- population (Day 5). Four independent CD34+ populations were isolated, differentiated and sorted for biologic replicates.

Project description:In order to combat molecular damage, most cellular proteins undergo rapid turnover. We have previously identified large nuclear protein assemblies that can persist for years in post-mitotic tissues and are subject to age-related decline. Here we report that mitochondria can be long-lived in the mouse brain and reveal that specific mitochondrial proteins have half-lives longer than the average proteome. These mitochondrial long-lived proteins (mitoLLPs) are core components of the electron transport chain (ETC) and display increased longevity in respiratory supercomplexes. We find that COX7C, a mitoLLP that forms a stable contact site between Complexes I and IV, is required for Complex IV and supercomplex assembly. Remarkably, even upon depletion of COX7C transcripts, ETC function is maintained for days, effectively uncoupling mitochondrial function from ongoing transcription of its mitoLLPs. Our results suggest that modulating protein longevity within the ETC is critical for mitochondrial proteome maintenance and the robustness of mitochondrial function.

Project description:Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive motor neuron disease and is the second most common genetic disorder leading to death in childhood. Motoneurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) obtained by reprogramming SMA patient and his healthy father fibroblasts, and genetically corrected SMA-iPSC obtained converting SMN2 into SMN1 with target gene correction (TGC), were used to study gene expression and splicing events linked to pathogenetic mechanisms. Microarray technology was used to assess the global gene expression profile as well as splicing events of iPS-derived motorneurons from SMA patient, unaffected father and TGC-treated cells. The microarray data derived from three different groups: SMA patient, healty father and treated SMA patient's cells. Each population consists of three RNA profiling cell samples.
