Project description:To address the functional implications at highthroughput level of TRA2A recruitment in FXTAS nuclear inclusions we performed Clariom D splicing arrays with the COS-7 cell models. We compared the profiles of the cells upon CGG overexpression, TRA2A overexpression and knockdown, with the respective controls.

Project description:Transcribed CGG repeat expansions cause the neurodegenerative disorder Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). CGG repeat RNAs sequester RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) into nuclear foci and undergo repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation into toxic peptides in the cytoplasm. To identify proteins involved in these processes, we employed a CGG repeat RNA-tagging system to capture repeat associated RBPs by mass spectrometry in mammalian cells. We identified several SR (serine/arginine-rich domain) proteins that interact selectively with CGG repeats basally and under cellular stress. These same proteins modify toxicity in a Drosophila model of FXTAS. Genetic or pharmacological targeting of serine/arginine protein kinases (SRPKs) inhibits RAN translation in cells and toxicity in both FXTAS and C9orf72 ALS/FTD model flies. Furthermore, SRPK inhibitors suppressed CGG repeat toxicity in rodent neurons. These findings demonstrate roles for CGG repeat RNA binding proteins in repeat toxicity and support further evaluation of SRPK inhibitors in modulating RAN translation associated with repeat expansion disorders.

Project description:Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a late-onset neurodegenerative disorder in which patients carry premutation alleles of 55-200 CGG repeats on the FMR1 gene. To date, whether alterations in epigenetic regulation modulate FXTAS has gone unexplored. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) converted from 5-methylcytosine (5mC) by the ten-eleven translocation (TET) family of proteins, has been found recently to play key roles in neuronal functions. Here we undertook genome-wide profiling of cerebellar 5hmC in a FXTAS mouse model (rCGG mice) and found that rCGG mice at 16 weeks showed overall reduced 5hmC levels genome-wide compared to age-matched wild-type littermates. However, we also observed gain-of-5hmC regions in repetitive elements, as well as cerebellum-specific enhancers, but not general enhancers. Genomic annotation and motif prediction of wild-type- and rCGG-specific differential 5-hydroxymethylated regions (DhMRs) revealed their high correlation with genes and transcription factors that are important in neuronal developmental and functional pathways. DhMR-associated genes partially overlapped with genes that were differentially associated with ribosomes in CGG mice identified by bacTRAP ribosomal profiling. Taken together, our data strongly indicate a functional role for 5hmC-mediated epigenetic modulation in the etiology of FXTAS, possibly through the regulation of transcription.

Project description:Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with a premutation repeat expansion (55-200 CGG repeats) in the 5 prime noncoding region of the FMR1 gene. Solitary intranuclear inclusions within FXTAS neurons and astrocytes constitute a hallmark of the disorder, yet our understanding of how and why these bodies form is limited. Here, we have discovered that FXTAS inclusions emit a distinct autofluorescence spectrum, which forms the basis of a novel, unbiased method for isolating FXTAS inclusions, by preparative fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Using a combination of autofluorescence-based FACS and liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) based proteomics, we have identified more than two hundred proteins that are enriched within the inclusions relative to FXTAS whole nuclei. Whereas no single protein species dominates inclusion composition, highly enriched levels of conjugated small ubiquitin-related modifier 2 (SUMO 2) protein and p62/sequestosome-1 (p62/SQSTM1) protein were found within the inclusions. Many additional proteins involved with RNA binding, protein turnover, and DNA damage repair were enriched within inclusions relative to total nuclear protein. The current analysis has also allowed the first direct detection, through peptide sequencing, of endogenous FMRpolyG peptide, the product of repeat-associated non-ATG (RAN) translation of the FMR1 mRNA. However, this peptide was found only at extremely low levels, and not within whole FXTAS nuclear preparations, raising the question as to whether endogenous RAN products exist at quantities sufficient to contribute to FXTAS pathogenesis. The abundance of the inclusion-associated ubiquitin- and SUMO-based modifiers supports a model for inclusion formation as the result of increased protein loads and elevated oxidative stress leading to mal-adaptive autophagy. These results highlight the need to further investigate FXTAS pathogenesis in the context of endogenous systems.

Project description:Fragile X premutation carriers (fXPC) of the CGG expansion in the 5M-bM-^@M-^Y-UTR of the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene are at high risk of Fragile X Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS), and females might undergo Premature Ovarian Failure (POF1). We have evaluated the peripheral blood gene expression profiles of fXPC and detected a strong deregulation of genes enriched in FXTAS-relevant biological pathways, including inflammation, and neuronal homeostasis and survival. More than 30% of differentially expressed correspond to long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Several deregulated genes (CASP3, DFFA, APP, AKT1, COX6C, COX7B, SOD1, RNF10, HDAC5, ATXN7, ATXN3 and EAP1) were validated in brain samples of a mouse model of FXTAS and in neuronal cells expressing the expanded FMR1 5M-bM-^@M-^Y-UTR. One of the validated genes is the early at menopause 1 (EAP1) gene. We confirmed the EAP1 deregulation both in male and female fXPC. Down-regulation was stronger in female fXPC with POF1 compared with female fXPC without POF1. Increased levels of FMR1 mRNA were detected in all brain areas of the CGG-KI mouse model. EAP1 was significantly downregulated in the brainstem and cerebellum of the KI mouse, suggesting that EAP1 levels in certain brain areas could contribute to POF in this model. All together, these results suggest that gene expression profiling in blood of fXPC reflects changes in the brain transcriptome that may underlie neuropathological aspects in FXTAS and of POF. In the study presented here, we have 6 biological replicats for the Mock conditions, 6 biological replicates for the expression of the wild type FMR1 5'UTR, 6 biological replicates for the expression of the mutant FMR1 5'UTR and 6 biological replicates for the overexpression of the muatnt FMR1 5'UTR.

Project description:Background: Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is an adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder associated with premutation CGG-repeat expansions (55-200 repeats) in the 5 prime non-coding portion of the FMR1 gene. Core features of FXTAS include progressive tremor/ataxia, cognitive decline, variable brain volume loss, and white matter disease. The principal histopathological feature of FXTAS is the presence of CNS and non-CNS intranuclear inclusions.
Objective: To further elucidate the molecular underpinnings of FXTAS through the proteomic characterization of human FXTAS cortexes.
Results: Proteomic analysis of FXTAS brain cortical tissue (n=8) identified minor differences in protein abundance compared to age-matched control brains (n=6). Significant differences generally involved decreased abundance, with greatest decreases observed for TNC, CD38, and PSAT1; proteins typically increased in other neurodegenerative diseases. Proteins with the greatest increased abundance include potentially novel neurodegeneration-related proteins, SUMO1/2 and DEK. Proteins with increased abundance had previously been observed to be concentrated in nuclei, suggesting protein aggregation and increased intranuclear activity of these proteins in end-stage FXTAS pathophysiology. The peptide, FMRPolyG, proposed in models of FXTAS pathogenesis but identified in only trace amounts in the earlier study of FXTAS inclusions (Ma et al., 2019), was not identified in any of the FXTAS or control brains in the current study, calling into question the involvement of this peptide in FXTAS pathogenesis.
Discussion: A novel proteomic response to FXTAS disease progression suggests altered RNA binding as well as loss of cell-cell adhesion/structural integrity. Unlike other neurodegenerative diseases, the proteome of end-stage FXTAS does not suggest a strong inflammation-mediated degenerative response.
