Single-cell transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of Parkinson’s disease brains

ABSTRACT: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder where recent evidence suggests pathogenesis may be mediated by inflammatory processes. The molecular architecture of the disease remains to be fully elucidated. We performed single-nucleus transcriptomics and unbiased proteomics using postmortem tissue obtained from the prefrontal cortex of 12 individuals with late-stage PD and age-matched controls. We analyzed ~80,000 nuclei and identified eight major cell types, including brain-resident T cells, each with distinct transcriptional changes in line with the known genetics of PD. By analyzing Lewy body pathology in the same postmortem tissue, we found that α-synuclein pathology is inversely correlated with chaperone expression in excitatory neurons. Examining cell-cell interactions, we found a selective abatement of neuron-astrocyte interactions and enhanced neuroinflammation. Proteomic analyses of the same brains identified synaptic proteins in prefrontal cortex that were preferentially downregulated in PD. Strikingly, comparing this dataset to a regionally similar published analysis for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), we found no common differentially expressed genes in neurons, but identified many shared differentially expressed genes in glial cells, suggesting that disease etiology in PD and AD are likely distinct. These data are presented as a resource for interrogating the molecular and cellular basis of PD and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Cortical hypermethylation across an extended region spanning the HOXA gene cluster on chromosome 7 is robustly associated with Alzheimer's disease neuropathology

Project description:Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is hypothesized to involve epigenetic dysfunction. We undertook an epigenome-wide association study across three independent brain tissue cohorts (total n = 999) to identify differential DNA methylation associated with neuropathology in the superior temporal gyrus and prefrontal cortex. We present robust evidence for elevated DNA methylation associated with AD neuropathology across an extended region spanning the HOXA gene cluster on chromosome 7. Prefrontal cortex and superior temporal gyrus tissue from 147 individuals with varying levels of AD pathology. DNA modifications for these samples were quantified using the Illumina Infinium Human 450K Methylation Array.

Differential 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Project description:Background: 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and its oxidized form, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC), are distinct epigenetic marks that help regulate gene expression in the mammalian brain. Existing studies have identified associations between 5-mC and neurodegenerative disease, but little work has examined the potential role of 5-hmC in Parkinson’s disease (PD) or Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Here, we utilized PD postmortem brain tissue and a public dataset from postmortem AD brains to analyze the effect of neurodegenerative disease on paired 5-mC and 5-hmC levels. Results: In PD samples, we measured genome-wide 5-mC and 5-hmC from control (n=3) and PD (n=6) brains using the Illumina EPIC array combined with bisulfite and oxidative bisulfite treatments (BS/oxBS-EPIC). In publicly sourced data, genome-wide 5-mC and 5-hmC were measured from control (n=25) and AD (n=62) human entorhinal cortex tissue using the Illumina 450K array combined with bisulfite and oxidative bisulfite treatment (BS/oxBS-450K). Paired 5-mC and 5-hmC beta values were generated using a custom pipeline of bioinformatics tools, and we modeled the effect of disease on paired 5-mC and 5-hmC data using a mixed effects beta regression model with a random effect for ID and an interaction term between disease category and DNA modification category (“5-mC” or “5-hmC”). We identified a number of CpG probes (AD: n=699, PD: total n = 80) that showed a significant interaction between disease status and DNA modification category (p-value < 2.4x10-7). Conclusions: While our PD data requires additional validation, our analyses suggest that there are widespread shifts in the balance between 5-mC and 5-hmC in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

Cross-tissue methylomic profiling implicates cortical deregulation of ANK1 in Alzheimer’s disease neuropathology

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by progressive neuropathology and cognitive decline. We performed a cross-tissue analysis of methylomic variation in AD using samples from three independent human post-mortem brain cohorts. We identified a differentially methylated region in the ankyrin 1 (ANK1) gene that was associated with neuropathology in the entorhinal cortex, a primary site of AD manifestation. This region was confirmed as being substantially hypermethylated in two other cortical regions (superior temporal gyrus and prefrontal cortex), but not in the cerebellum, a region largely protected from neurodegeneration in AD, or whole blood obtained pre-mortem from the same individuals. Neuropathology-associated ANK1 hypermethylation was subsequently confirmed in cortical samples from three independent brain cohorts. This study represents, to the best of our knowledge, the first epigenome-wide association study of AD employing a sequential replication design across multiple tissues and highlights the power of this approach for identifying methylomic variation associated with complex disease. For the first (discovery) stage of our analysis, we used multiple tissues from donors (N = 122) archived in the MRC London Brainbank for Neurodegenerative Disease. From each donor, we isolated genomic DNA from four brain regions (EC, superior temporal gyrus (STG), prefrontal cortex (PFC) and CER) and, where available, from whole blood obtained pre-mortem. Our analyses focused on identifying differentially methylated positions (DMPs) associated with Braak staging, a standardized measure of neurofibrillary tangle burden determined at autopsy.

Characterization of detergent insoluble proteome in chronic traumatic encephalopathy

Project description:Proteomic sequencing of postmortem human brain can identify dysfunctional proteins that contribute to neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia. Similar studies in chronic traumatic encephalopathy are limited, but may provide important new insights into this disorder. Given our previous success with identifying pathology associated proteins, we performed proteomic sequencing of detergent insoluble brain homogenates from frontal cortex of deceased subjects with CTE covering a range of CTE pathologic stages. We compared the insoluble proteome of CTE brain to control and AD brains to identify differentially expressed proteins. We identified over 4000 proteins in CTE brains, including significant enrichment of the microtubule associated protein tau. We also found enrichment and pathologic aggregation of RNA processing factors as seen previously in AD, supporting the previously recognized overlap between AD and CTE. In addition to these similarities, we identified CTE-specific enrichment of a number of proteins which increase with increasing severity of CTE pathology. NADPH dehydrogenase quinone 1 (NQO1) was one of the proteins which showed significant enrichment in CTE and also correlated with increasing CTE stage. NQO1 demonstrated neuropathologic correlation with hyperphosphorylated tau in glial cells, mainly astrocytes. These results demonstrate that quantitative proteomic sequencing of CTE postmortem human brain can identify disease relevant findings and novel cellular pathways involved in CTE pathogenesis.

Gene expression profiling of parkinsonian substantia nigra

Project description:Affymetrix HG-Focus array was used to determine a global gene expression profile of clinically and neuropathologically confirmed cases of sporadic Parkinson's disease compared to controls. Major alterations were detected in signal transduction, protein degradation, dopaminergic transmission/metabolism, energy pathways/glycolysis, cell adhesion/cytoskeleton, extracellular matrix components and cell cycle functional classes. Post-mortem human brains were obtained from moderately to severe parkinsonism individuals based on the Hoehn & Yahr criteria. All the subjects were negative for AD pathology according to Braak & Braak. The average age for PD and control is 76.6 and 77.8 years, respectively. The average postmortem delay for PD and control is 26.2 and 19.8 hours, respectively.

Human brain Alzheimer's - Proteomic signatures of brain regions affected by tau pathology in early and late stages of Alzheimer's disease

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder being characterized by progressive impairment of memory and cognition, resulting in dementia. To investigate brain region vulnerability to AD and which pathways are altered in certain areas in AD, we performed proteomic profiling of human brain samples during AD progression in regions early (medial temporal lobe - MTL) and late affected (neocortex) by tau pathology. We employed a mass spectrometry-based approach to interrogate the human brain proteome during AD progression (B/B stages) in four distinct brain regions: entorhinal cortex (EC), parahippocampal cortex (PHC), temporal cortex (TC) and frontal cortex (FC). Importantly, we wanted to evaluate brain areas that are affected by tau pathology in different disease stages, in order to gain insights if there are common mechanisms or patterns shared between different brain regions during disease progression. A total of 103 samples were analyzed by nanoLC-MS/MS.

Proteomic changes linked to the limbic stage of AD

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia worldwide. In AD, neurodegeneration spreads throughout the brain cortex in a gradual and predictable pattern, causing progressive memory decline and cognitive impairment. Here, we conducted proteomic, acetylomic and phosphoproteomic analyses of human postmortem tissue samples from AD (Braak stage III-IV) and control brains, covering all anatomical areas affected during the limbic stage of the disease (total hippocampus, CA1, entorhinal and perirhinal cortices). A total of 58 tissues were analyzed by nanoLC-MS/MS.

A pilot study of ex vivo human prefrontal RNA transcriptomics in Parkinson’s disease

Project description:Parkinson’s disease (PD) can dramatically change cortical neurophysiology. The molecular basis for PD-related cortical changes is unclear because gene expression data are usually derived from postmortem tissue collected at the end of a complex disease and they profoundly change in the minutes after death. Here, we studied cortical changes in tissue from the prefrontal cortex of living PD patients undergoing deep-brain stimulation implantation surgery. We examined 780 genes using the NanoString nCounter platform and found that 40 genes were differentially expressed between PD (n = 12) and essential tremor (ET; n = 9) patients. One of these 40 genes, STAT1, correlated with intraoperative 4-Hz rhythms and intraoperative performance of an oddball reaction-time task. Using a pre-designed custom panel of 780 targets, we compared these intraoperative data with those from a separate cohort of fresh-frozen tissue from the same frontal region in postmortem human PD donors (n = 6) and age-matched neurotypical controls (n = 6). This cohort revealed 279 differentially expressed genes. Fifteen of the 40 intraoperative PD-specific genes overlapped with postmortem PD-specific genes, including CALB2 and FOXP2. Transcriptomic analyses identified pathway changes in PD that had not been previously observed in postmortem cases. These molecular signatures of cortical function and dysfunction may help us better understand cognitive and neuropsychiatric aspects of PD.
