Co-culture of iPSC-derived microglia and spinal motor neurons as a novel model for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

ABSTRACT: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor neuron degeneration with additional involvement of non-neuronal cells, in particular, microglia. In our previous work, we have established protocols for the differentiation of iPSC-derived spinal motor neurons and microglia. Here, we combine both cell lineages and establish a novel co-culture of iPSC-derived motor neurons and microglia, which is compatible with motor neuron identity and function. Co-cultured microglia express key microglial markers and transcriptomically resemble primary human microglia, have highly dynamic ramifications, are phagocytic, release various cytokines and respond to stimulation. Further, they express key amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-associated genes and release disease-relevant biomarkers. This novel and authentic human model system facilitates the study of physiological motor neuron-microglia crosstalk and permits the investigation of non-cell-autonomous phenotypes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

C9orf72-ALS human iPSC microglia are pro-inflammatory and toxic to co-cultured motor neurons via MMP9

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive motor neuron loss, with additional pathophysiological involvement of non-neuronal cells such as microglia. The commonest ALS-associated genetic variant is a hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) mutation in C9orf72. Here, we study its consequences for microglial function using human iPSC-derived microglia. By RNA-sequencing, we identify enrichment of pathways associated with immune cell activation and cyto-/chemokines in C9orf72 HRE mutant microglia versus healthy controls, most prominently after LPS priming. Specifically, LPS-primed C9orf72 HRE mutant microglia show consistently increased expression and release of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9). LPS-primed C9orf72 HRE mutant microglia are toxic to co-cultured healthy motor neurons, which is ameliorated by concomitant application of an MMP9 inhibitor. Finally, we identify release of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) as a marker for MMP9-dependent microglial dysregulation in co-culture. These results demonstrate cellular dysfunction of C9orf72 HRE mutant microglia, and a non-cell-autonomous role in driving C9orf72-ALS pathophysiology in motor neurons through MMP9 signaling.

Gene expression signatures in motor neuron disease fibroblasts reveal dysregulation of metabolism, hypoxia-response and RNA processing functions

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and primary lateral sclerosis are two syndromic variants within the motor neurone disease spectrum. Whilst primary lateral sclerosis is associated with loss of upper motor neurons and a more benign disease course up to 17yrs, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is caused by loss of both upper and lower motor neurons and has an average disease course of 2-3 years. The majority of cases are sporadic, thereby limiting the availability of cellular models for investigating pathogenic disease mechanisms. The aim of the present study was to evaluate fibroblasts as a cellular model for sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and primary lateral sclerosis, to establish whether disease-related dysregulated biological processes recapitulate those seen in the central nervous system and to elucidate pathways that distinguish between the two disease phenotypes. We used microarray analysis to determine the differences in gene expression between fibroblasts derived from skin biopsies taken from sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and primary lateral sclerosis neurologically normal human controls

Transcriptome and proteome profiling of motor neuron model subjected to protein misfolding stress

Project description:To identify molecular differences between closely related motor neurons relevant for understanding of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), we exploited induced cranial and spinal motor neuron populations from mouse embryonic stem cells. We performed a large scale time-dependent TMT-based proteomics analysis in the presence and absence of protein misfolding stress. We profiled ~8,600 proteins from two different motor neuron cell lines, measured in two replicates and three time points.

Gene expression data from human fibroblasts and induced Pluripotent Stem cells from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients

Project description:We have generated human induced Pluripotent Stem cells (hiPSc) from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, motor neuron disease) patients, using Sendai virus-mediated delivery of reprogramming factors. hiPSc lines have been screened using SNP array to assess chromosomal stability (alongside the fibroblast lines from which they derived), and validation of the pluripotency of the hiPSc lines is provided by Pluritest assessment of transcriptome datasets, prior to differentiation to motor neuron cultures and downstream functional assays.

Modifying macrophages at the periphery has the capacity to change microglial reactivity and increase ALS survival

Project description:Microglia and peripheral macrophages, combined, have been implicated in the motor neuron disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), but without discriminating their respective roles. We now show that macrophages along peripheral motor neuron axons of ALS mice and patients react to neurodegeneration. In ALS mice, peripheral myeloid cell infiltration into the spinal cord was limited and disease duration dependent. Targeted gene modulation of the reactive oxygen species pathway in peripheral myeloid cells of ALS mice, using cell replacement, reduced both peripheral macrophage and microglial activation, delayed symptoms and increased ALS mouse survival. Transcriptomics revealed that sciatic nerve macrophages and microglia reacted very different to neurodegeneration, with abrupt temporal changes in macrophages and progressive, unidirectional activation in microglia. Modifying peripheral macrophages suppressed proinflammatory microglial responses, with a strong shift towards neuronal support. Thus, modifying macrophages at the periphery has the capacity to influence disease progression and is of therapeutic value for ALS.

Exon array analysis of control vs. FALS MPC

Project description:To assess RNA regulation in FALS for gene expression and alternative processing of RNA in the motor neuron precurssors (MPCs) Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a late-onset motor neuron disorder. Although its neuropathology is well understood, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that lead to the initiation and progression of this disease are yet to be elucidated due to limitations in the currently available human genetic data. In this study, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from two familial ALS (FALS) patients with a missense mutation in the fused-in sarcoma (FUS) gene carrying the heterozygous FUS H517D mutation, and the isogenic iPSCs with the homozygous FUS H517D mutation obtained by genome editing from the healthy control iPSCs. These cell-derived motor neurons mimicked several neurodegenerative phenotypes. A part of the mutant FUS protein was localized outside the nucleus and co-localized with stress granules under stress conditions. Moreover, FALS motor neurons showed more apoptotic activity than did control motor neurons. Exon array analysis using motor neuron precursor cells (MPCs) combined with CLIP-seq data sets revealed aberrant gene expression and/or splicing pattern in FALS-MPCs. These results suggest that iPSC-derived motor neurons are a useful tool for analyzing the pathogenesis of human motor neuron disorders.

Transcriptional Dynamics of Motor Neuron Maturation in vivo and in vitro

Project description:Mouse spinal motor neurons are specified in the embryo on embrynic day 9.5 (E9.5), but motor function doesn't fully mature till the third week of postnatal life (P14-P21) and the degenerative disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis only affects motor neurons in adulthood (age of onset differs between models). In order to better understand motor neuron maturation, we have generated a temporal map of motor neuron transcriptional states at E10.5, E13.5, P4, P13, P21, P56, 2yr. In addition we have also profiled stem cell derived motor neurons that were co-cultured with astrocytes at DIV0, DIV7, DIV28.
