Viral Delivery Of GDNF Promotes Functional Integration Of Human Stem Cell Grafts In Parkinson’s Disease

ABSTRACT: Dopaminergic neurons (DAn), generated from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC), are capable of functionally integrating following transplantation and have recently advanced to clinical trials for Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, pre-clinical studies have highlighted the low proportion of DAn within hPSC-derived grafts and their inferior plasticity compared to fetal tissue. Here we examined whether delivery of a developmentally critical protein, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), could improve graft outcomes. We tracked the response of DAn implanted into either a GDNF-rich environment, or after a delay in exposure. Early GDNF promoted survival and plasticity of non-DAn, leading to enhanced motor recovery in PD rats. Delayed exposure to GDNF promoted functional recovery through increases in DAn specification, DAn plasticity and dopamine metabolism. Transcriptional profiling revealed a role for MAPK-signalling downstream of GDNF. Collectively these results demonstrate the potential of neurotrophic gene therapy strategies to improve hPSC graft outcomes.

Human midbrain dopaminergic neuronal differentiation markers predict cell therapy outcome in a Parkinson's disease model

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-based replacement therapy holds great promise in treating Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the heterogeneity of hPSC-derived donor cells and the low yield of midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons after transplantation hinder its broad clinical application. Here, we depicted the single-cell molecular landscape during mDA neuron differentiation. We found that this process recapitulated the development of multiple but adjacent fetal brain regions including ventral midbrain, isthmus, and ventral hindbrain, resulting in heterogenous donor cell population. We reconstructed the differentiation trajectory of mDA lineage and identified CLSTN2 and PTPRO as specific surface markers of mDA progenitors, which were predictive of mDA neuron differentiation and could facilitate highly enriched mDA neurons (up to 80%) following progenitor sorting and transplantation. Marker sorted progenitors exhibited higher therapeutic potency in correcting motor deficits of PD mice. Different marker sorted grafts had a strikingly consistent cellular composition, in which mDA neurons were enriched, while off-target neuron types were mostly depleted, suggesting stable graft outcomes. Our study provides a better understanding of cellular heterogeneity during mDA neuron differentiation, and establishes a strategy to generate highly purified donor cells to achieve stable and predictable therapeutic outcomes, raising the prospect of hPSC-based PD cell replacement therapies.

DNA methylation analysis in idiopathic and LRRK2-associated Parkinson's disease (PD)

Project description:We performed a genome-wide DNA methylation study in induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC)-derived dopaminergic neurons (DAn) generated from keratinocytes of monogenic and sporadic Parkinson disease (PD) patients as well as of healthy subjects. We observed extensive DNA methylation changes in DAn from PD patients. These changes were neither present in the original keratinocytes nor in the undifferentiated IPSCs, suggesting latent molecular defects in PD keratinocytes that are manifested only upon differentiation into DAn. We also found that enhancers showing abnormal DNA hypermethylation in PD were enriched for binding sites of transcription factors such as FOXA1, NR3C1, HNF4A and FOSL2 which are involved in the survival of DAn and showed reduced expression. These data suggest that aberrant epigenomic remodeling of IPSC-derived DAn in PD is mediated by the down-regulation of key transcription factors. Our study suggests that future cell replacement strategies should pay careful attention to the correct epigenomic status of the reprogrammed cells, especially when using patient own skin cells.

Effect of GDNF-Gel/HA-Mg nerve conduit on gene expression during peripheral nerve regeneration

Project description:In this study, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)- Gelatin methacryloyl (Gel)/hydroxylapatite (HA)-Mg nerve conduit was developed. the conduit was implanted in sciatic nerve defect model in SD rats to explore its role in repairing peripheral nerve defects. Regenerated nerve tissues from GDNF-Gel/HA-Mg group and negative control group were collected for RNA-seq, aiming to explore the potential molecular mechanism of GDNF-Gel/HA-Mg in peripheral nerve regeneration.

Glial derived neurotrophic factor promotes ovarian primordial follicle development during folliculogenesis

Project description:Female fertility is determined in part by the size and development of the primordial follicle pool. The current study investigates the role of glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in the regulation of primordial follicle development in the ovary. Ovaries from four-day old female rat pups were maintained in organ culture for ten days in the absence (control) or presence of GDNF or kit ligand/stem cell factor (KL). Ovaries treated with GDNF contained a significant increase in developing follicles, similar to that observed with KL treatment previously shown to promote follicle development. The actions of GDNF on the ovarian transcriptome were investigated with a microarray analysis. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated that GDNF is localized to oocyte cytoplasm in follicles of all developmental stages, as well as to cumulus granulosa cells and theca cells in antral follicles. GDNF receptor alpha 1 (GFRalpha1) staining was localized to oocyte cytoplasm of primordial and primary follicles, and at reduced levels in oocytes of antral follicles. GFRalpha1 was present in mural granulosa cells of antral follicles, theca cells, and the ovarian surface epithelium. The localization studies were confirmed with molecular analysis. Microarray analysis was used to identify changes in the ovarian transcriptome and further elucidate the signaling network regulating early follicle development. Observations indicate that GDNF promotes primordial follicle development and mediates autocrine and paracrine cell-cell interactions required during folliculogenesis. In contrast to the testis, ovarian GDNF is predominantly produced by germ cells (oocytes) rather than somatic cells.

RET Ligands Mediate Endocrine Sensitivity via a Bi-stable Feedback Loop with ERα

Project description:The molecular mechanisms of endocrine resistance in breast cancer remain poorly understood. Here we used PRO-seq to map the location of hundreds of genes and thousands of distal enhancers whose activities differ between endocrine sensitive and resistant MCF-7 cells. Our genome-wide screen identified a 16-fold transcriptional increase in glial-cell line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), a RET tyrosine kinase receptor ligand, which is both necessary and sufficient for resistance in MCF-7 cells. GDNF causes endocrine resistance by switching the active state of a bi-stable feedback loop from ERα signaling to GDNF-RET signaling. To catalyze this switch, we found that GDNF directly downregulates ERα transcription and activates the transcription factor EGR1, which, in turn, induces GDNF expression. Remarkably, both MCF-7 cells and ER+ primary tumors appear poised for endocrine resistance via the RET signaling pathway, but lack robust RET ligand expression and only develop resistance upon expression of GDNF or other RET ligands.
