Modeling hypoxia induced neuropathies using a fast and scalable human motor neuron differentiation system

ABSTRACT: Human pluripotent stem cells carry great potential to provide novel insights into disease mechanisms by enabling generation and study of functional cell types under cell culture conditions, including human motor neurons (MNs). MN disease are a group of conditions where these nerves progressively loose function. Recent findings using animal model systems suggest a previously unappreciated role for mRNA mis-localization in disease development and progression. However, model systems to investigate this novel disease link in the human context are currently absent. Here we describe a scalable suspension-based differentiation system to generate large numbers of hPSCs derived neuronal progenitors that can further differentiate efficiently into functional stem cell derived human motor neurons (sMN) within only 3 weeks. To be able to investigate potential differences in mRNA transcripts between sMN cell soma and neurites we further established a membrane-based culture system that allows efficient fractionation of cell soma and neurites.

Neuronal zipcode identification protocol (N-zip) in primary cortical neurons

Project description:For identification of transcripts enriched in neurites of primary cortical neurons, the cells were plated on a microporous membrane for isolation of neurites and soma. Extracted RNA was used for preparation of mRNA-seq, total RNA-seq or smRNA-seq libraries and Illumina sequencing. For neuronal zipcode identification protocol (N-zip) in mouse cortical neurons, we combined a massively parallel reporter assay with neurites/soma separation. Neurons, grown on a microporous membrane, were infected with a library of around 5000 oligos tiled across 3'UTRs of selected neurite-enriched transcripts, cloned downstream of GFP coding sequence. RNA was extracted from soma and neurites and reverse transcribed into cDNA. Amplicon libraries of 3'UTR reporters were prepared and subjected to Illumina sequencing. In the second round of N-zip, a library containing selected reporters from the first N-zip and their mutagenized versions (around 6000 oligos) were used. In the following rounds, N-zip was combined with knockdown of selected genes.

The Bap1-SMN axis in Dpp4+ skeletal muscle mesenchymal cells regulates survival of motor neurons

Project description:Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the survival of motor neuron (SMN) gene. Although the primary manifestation of SMA is degeneration of motor neurons in a dying-back manner, deficient SMN intrinsic to motor neurons does not cause severe motor neuron loss, as is the case in SMA mouse models. Thus, the involvement of non-neuronal cells in the pathogenesis of SMA has been suggested. Here, we report that a novel subset of fibro-adipogenic progenitors expressing Dpp4 (Dpp4+ FAPs) is required for the survival of motor neurons, in which BRCA1-associating protein 1 (Bap1) is crucial for the stabilization of SMN by preventing its ubiquitination-dependent degradation. Inactivation of Bap1 in FAPs decreased SMN levels and accompanied degeneration of the neuromuscular junction, leading to dying-back loss of motor neurons and muscle atrophy, reminiscent of SMA pathogenesis. Overexpression of ubiquitination-resistant SMN variant, SMNK186R, in Bap1-null FAPs completely prevented neuromuscular degenerations. In addition, transplantation of Dpp4+ FAPs, but not Dpp4- FAPs, completely rescued neuromuscular defects in the mutant mice. Our data revealed that Bap1-mediated stabilization of SMN in Dpp4+ FAPs is crucial for the survival of motor neurons and provided a new therapeutic approach to treat SMA.

Genome wide analysis of RNA species present in SMN-containing RNPs

Project description:Several studies indicate that SMN-containing mRNP complexes could be involved in the axonal localization of a large number of mRNAs. We have used murine motor neuron-like NSC-34 cells and RNA Immuno-Precipitation experiments coupled to microarray analyses to perform a genome-wide analysis of RNA species present in mRNP complexes containing the full length SMN protein (flSMN). In situ hybridization and immuno-fluorescence experiments performed on several candidates indicate that these mRNAs colocalize with the SMN protein in neurites and axons of differentiated NSC-34 cells. Moreover, they localize in cell processes in a SMN-dependent manner. Thus, low SMN levels might result in localization deficiencies of mRNAs required for axonogenesis. RNA species coimmunoprecipitated with the SMN protein were used for hybridization of Affymetrix microarrays

3' mRNA-seq of neurites and soma isolated from mESC-derived neurons

Project description:3' mRNA-seq was performed with QuantSeq 3' mRNA-Seq kit (Lexogen 015) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. 3' mRNA-seq was done in biological triplicates (soma) or duplicates (neurites), using 260 ng of total RNA from neurites or soma of mESC-derived neurons per sample. Libraries were pooled and sequenced on Illumina NextSeq 500 system with a single-end 150-cycle run.

RNA-seq of neuronal compartments with perturbed mRNA degradation machinery

Project description:We have perturbed mRNA degradation machinery and investigated the change in subcellular localization of mRNA in Ascl1-induced neurons (iNeurons). Mutant iNeuron line harbouring a ponasteroneA-inducible heterozygous dominant-negative Caf1 (dnCaf1) was generated, separated into neuronal compartments (soma and neurites) and sequenced in parallel with compartments from the Wild Type iNeurons (WT). Differential localization of mRNA between soma and neurites in the WT was then compared to the localization in dnCaf1 in order to identify the changes in localization.

Gain of toxic function by long-term SMN overexpression in the sensory-motor circuit.

Project description:The neurodegenerative disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a leading genetic cause of infant death caused by deficiency in the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. Currently approved SMA treatments aim to restore SMN, but the potential for expression of SMN beyond physiological levels is a unique feature of AAV9-SMN gene therapy. Here, we show that long-term AAV9-mediated SMN overexpression in mouse models induces dose-dependent, late-onset motor dysfunction associated with loss of proprioceptive synapses and neurodegeneration. Mechanistically, aggregation of overexpressed SMN in the cytoplasm of motor circuit neurons sequesters components of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), leading to splicing dysregulation and widespread transcriptome abnormalities with prominent signatures of neuroinflammation and innate immune response. Thus, long-term SMN overexpression can interfere with its normal activity in RNA regulation and trigger SMA-like pathogenic events through toxic gain of function mechanisms. These unanticipated, SMN-dependent and neuron-specific liabilities of AAV9-SMN warrant further evaluation of the long-term safety of gene therapy in SMA.

Altered Distributions of SMN-containing GEMs and Mitochondria in Motor Neurons of TDP-43 transgenic Mice

Project description:TDP-43, a DNA/RNA binding protein involved in RNA transcription and splicing has been associated with the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS. However, the function of TDP-43 in motor neurons remains undefined. Here, we employ both gain- and loss-of-function approaches to determine roles of TDP-43 in motor neurons. Mice expressing human TDP-43 in neurons exhibited growth retardation and premature death that are characterized by abnormal intranuclear inclusions comprised of TDP-43 and Fused in Sarcoma (FUS), and massive accumulation of mitochondria in TDP-43-negative cytoplasmic inclusions in motor neurons, lack of mitochondria in motor axon terminals and immature neuromuscular junctions. Whereas elevated level of TDP-43 disrupts the normal nuclear distribution of Survival Motor Neuron (SMN)-associated Gemini of coiled bodies (GEMs) in motor neurons, its absence prevents the formation of GEMs in the nuclei of these cells. Moreover, transcriptome-wide deep sequencing analysis revealed that decrease in abundance of neurofilament transcripts contributed to the reduction of caliber of motor axons in TDP-43 mice. In concert, our findings indicate that TDP-43 participates in pathways critical for motor neuron physiology, including those that regulate the normal distributions of SMN-associated GEMs in the nucleus and mitochondria in the cytoplasm. Human TDP-43 coding region were inserted into pThy1.2 expression cassette and subsequently injected into C57BL/6;SJL hybrid mouse embryos to make human TDP-43 transgenic mice
