In situ proximity labeling identifies Lewy pathology molecular interactions in the human brain.

ABSTRACT: The intracellular misfolding and accumulation of alpha-synuclein into structures collectively called Lewy pathology (LP) is a central phenomenon for the pathogenesis of synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Understanding the molecular architecture of LP is crucial for understanding synucleinopathy disease origins and progression. Here we used a technique called biotinylation by antibody recognition (BAR) to label total (BAR-SYN1) and pathological alpha-synuclein (BAR-PSER129) in situ for subsequent mass spectrometry analysis. Results showed superior immunohistochemical detection of LP following the BAR-PSER129 protocol, particularly for fibers and punctate pathology within the striatum and cortex. Mass spectrometry analysis of BAR-PSER129-labeled LP identified 261 significantly enriched proteins in the synucleinopathy brain when compared to nonsynucleinopathy brains. In contrast, BAR-SYN1 did not differentiate between disease and nonsynucleinopathy brains. Pathway analysis of BAR-PSER129-enriched proteins revealed enrichment for 718 pathways; notably, the most significant KEGG pathway was PD, and Gene Ontology (GO) cellular compartments were the vesicle, extracellular vesicle, extracellular exosome, and extracellular organelle. Pathway clustering revealed several superpathways, including metabolism, mitochondria, lysosome, and intracellular vesicle transport. Validation of the BAR-PSER129-identified protein hemoglobin beta (HBB) by immunohistochemistry confirmed the interaction of HBB with PSER129 Lewy neurites and Lewy bodies. In summary, BAR can be used to enrich for LP from formalin-fixed human primary tissues, which allowed the determination of molecular signatures of LP. This technique has broad potential to help understand the phenomenon of LP in primary human tissue and animal models.

Project description:Proximity labeling can be defined as an enzymatic "in-cell" chemical reaction that catalyzes the proximity-dependent modification of biomolecules in live cells. Since the modified proteins can be isolated and identified via mass spectrometry, this method has been successfully utilized for the characterization of local proteomes such as the sub-mitochondrial proteome and the proteome at membrane contact sites, or spatiotemporal interactome information in live cells, which are not "accessible" via conventional methods. Currently, proximity labeling techniques can be applied not only for local proteome mapping but also for profiling local RNA and DNA, in addition to showing great potential for elucidating spatial cell-cell interaction networks in live animal models. We believe that proximity labeling has emerged as an essential tool in "spatiomics," that is, for the extraction of spatially distributed biological information in a cell or organism.Proximity labeling is a multidisciplinary chemical technique. For a decade, we and other groups have engineered it for multiple applications based on the modulation of enzyme chemistry, chemical probe design, and mass analysis techniques that enable superior mapping results. The technique has been adopted in biology and chemistry. This "in-cell" reaction has been widely adopted by biologists who modified it into an in vivo reaction in animal models. In our laboratory, we conducted in vivo proximity labeling reactions in mouse models and could successfully obtain the liver-specific secretome and muscle-specific mitochondrial matrix proteome. We expect that proximity reaction can further contribute to revealing tissue-specific localized molecular information in live animal models.Simultaneously, chemists have also adopted the concept and employed chemical "photocatalysts" as artificial enzymes to develop new proximity labeling reactions. Under light activation, photocatalysts can convert the precursor molecules to the reactive species via electron transfer or energy transfer and the reactive molecules can react with proximal biomolecules within a definite lifetime in an aqueous solution. To identify the modified biomolecules by proximity labeling, the modified biomolecules should be enriched after lysis and sequenced using sequencing tools. In this analysis step, the direct detection of modified residue(s) on the modified proteins or nucleic acids can be the proof of their labeling event by proximal enzymes or catalysts in the cell. In this Account, we introduce the basic concept of proximity labeling and the multidirectional advances in the development of this method. We believe that this Account may facilitate further utilization and modification of the method in both biological and chemical research communities, thereby revealing unknown spatially distributed molecular or cellular information or spatiome.
