Project description:Background and Objectives Molecular omics studies have identified proteins related to cognitive resilience but unrelated to Alzheimer disease and Alzheimer disease–related dementia (AD/ADRD) pathologies. Posttranslational modifications of proteins with glycans can modify protein function. In this study, we identified glycopeptiforms associated with cognitive resilience. Methods We studied brains from adults with annual cognitive testing with postmortem indices of 10 AD/ADRD pathologies and proteome-wide data from dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). We quantified 11, 012 glycopeptiforms from DLPFC using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. We used linear mixed-effects models to identify glycopeptiforms associated with cognitive decline correcting for multiple comparisons (p < 5 × 10−6). Then, we regressed out the effect of AD/ADRD pathologies to identify glycopeptiforms that may provide cognitive resilience.

Project description:Currently, more than 55 million people around the world suffer from dementia, and Alzheimer's disease-related dementia (ADRD) accounts for nearly 60-70% of all those cases. The spread of AD pathology and progressive neurodegeneration in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex is strongly correlated with cognitive decline in AD patients; however, the molecular underpinning of the ADRD causality is still unclear. Studies of postmortem AD brains and animal models of AD suggest that elevated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress may have a role in ADRD pathology through altered neurocellular homeostasis in brain regions associated with learning and memory. To study the ER stress-associated neurocellular response and its effects on neurocellular homeostasis and neurogenesis, we modeled an ER stress challenge using Thapsigargin (TG), a specific inhibitor of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA), in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neural stem cells (NSCs) of two individuals from our Mexican American Family Study (MAFS). High-content screening and transcriptomic analysis of the control and ER stress-challenged NSCs showed that NSC’s ER stress response resulted in a significant decline in NSC self-renewal and an increase in apoptosis and cellular oxidative stress. A total of 2300 genes were significantly (moderated t statistics FDR corrected p-value ≤ 0.05 and Fold Change absolute ≥ 2.0) differentially expressed (DE). Pathway enrichment and gene network analysis of DE genes suggests that all three unfolded protein response (UPR) pathways (PERK, IRE1, and ATF6) were significantly activated and cooperatively regulated the NSC’s transcriptional response to ER stress. Our results show that IRE1/XBP1 mediated transcriptional regulation of E2F1 and its downstream targets have a dominant role in inducing G1/S-phase cell cycle arrest in the ER stress-challenged NSCs. The ER stress-challenged NSCs also showed activation of CHOP-mediated apoptosis and dysregulation of synaptic plasticity and neurotransmitter homeostasis-associated genes. Overall, our results suggest that ER stress-associated attenuation of NSC self-renewal, increased apoptosis, and dysregulated synaptic plasticity and neurotransmitter homeostasis plausibly play a role in the causation of ADRD.

Project description:Dysfunction of vascular endothelium is characteristic of many aging-related diseases, including Alzheimers disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD). While it is widely posited that endothelial cell dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis and/or progression of AD/ADRD, it is not clear how. A plausible hypothesis is that intercellular trafficking of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from senescent vascular endothelial cells promotes vascular endothelial cell dysfunction. To test this hypothesis, we compared the expression of proteins and miRNAs in EVs isolated from early passage (EP) vs. senescent (SEN) primary human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) from the same donor. Proteomics and miRNA libraries constructed from these EV isolates were evaluated using FunRich gene ontology analysis to compare functional enrichment between EP and SEN endothelial cell EVs (ECEVs). Replicative senescence was associated with altered EV abundance and contents independent of changes in EV size. Unique sets of miRNAs and proteins were differentially expressed in SEN-ECEVs, including molecules related to cell adhesion, barrier integrity, receptor signaling, endothelial-mesenchymal transition and cell senescence. miR-181a-5p was the most upregulated miRNA in SEN-ECEVs, increasing >5-fold. SEN-ECEV proteomes supported involvement in several pro-inflammatory pathways consistent with senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). These data indicate that SEN-ECEVs are enriched in bioactive molecules implicated in senescence-associated vascular dysfunction, blood-brain barrier impairment, and AD/ADRD pathology. These observations suggest involvement of SEN-ECEVs in the pathogenesis of vascular dysfunction associated with AD/ADRD.

Project description:One of the earliest pathophysiological perturbations in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) may arise from dysfunction of fast-spiking parvalbumin (PV) interneurons (PV-INs). Defining early protein-level (proteomic) alterations in PV-INs can provide key biological and translationally relevant insights. Here, we use cell-type-specific in vivo biotinylation of proteins (CIBOP) coupled with mass spectrometry to obtain native-state proteomes of PV interneurons. PV-INs exhibited proteomic signatures of high metabolic, mitochondrial, and translational activity, with over-representation of causally linked AD genetic risk factors. Analyses of bulk brain proteomes indicated strong correlations between PV-IN proteins with cognitive decline in humans, and with progressive neuropathology in humans and mouse models of Aβ pathology. Furthermore, PV-IN-specific proteomes revealed unique signatures of increased mitochondrial and metabolic proteins, but decreased synaptic and mTOR signaling proteins in response to early Aβ pathology. PV-specific changes were not apparent in whole-brain proteomes. These findings showcase the first nativestate PV-IN proteomes in mammalian brain, revealing a molecular basis for their unique vulnerabilities in AD

Project description:Insulin (INS) synthesis and secretion from pancreatic β cells are tightly regulated; their deregulation causes diabetes. Here we map INS-associated loci in human pancreatic islets by 4C and 3C techniques and show that the INS gene physically interacts with the SYT8 gene, located over 300 kb away. This interaction is elevated by glucose and accompanied by increases in SYT8 expression. Inactivation of the INS promoter by promoter-targeting siRNA reduces SYT8 gene expression. SYT8-INS interaction and SYT8 transcription are attenuated by CTCF depletion. Furthermore, SYT8 knockdown decreases insulin secretion in islets. These results reveal a non-redundant role for SYT8 in insulin secretion and indicate that the INS promoter acts from a distance to stimulate SYT8 transcription. This suggests a function for the INS promoter in coordinating insulin transcription and secretion through long-range regulation of SYT8 expression in human islets.

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Lewy body dementia (LBD), and mixed dementia are characterized by diverse pathologies and etiologies. ADRDs are typically distinguished based on combinations of associated pathologies in the brain such as amyloid, tau, TDP-43 inclusions, alpha-synuclein aggregates, and cerebral amyloid angiopathy, and these pathologies often co-occur even in cases clinically diagnosed as one disease. The heterogeneity of ADRDs presents significant challenges in model development for disease mechanism elucidation, drug discovery, and preclinical testing. Current animal models of ADRD fail to incorporate mixed pathologies and demonstrate low concordance with the diverse genetic, molecular, pathological, and cognitive features of human disease. Further, genetic background is critical for accurately modeling the complex genetic, molecular and cognitive features of late-onset AD in mice, and that incorporation of genetic diversity significantly improves concordance between mouse models and human patients in these parameters. Using CRISPR genome editing, we knocked-in several known human disease-causing mutations into C57BL/6J mice. Through serial breeding, we combined these KI mutations into various 3X, 4X, 5X and 6X knock-in models. We then crossed these 3X-5X models to various genetic backgrounds (C57BL/6J, DBA/2J, FVB/NJ, WSB/EiJ) to achieve a diverse F1 panel of genetically altered mice. Our goal was to maintain physiological expression levels of genes that induce commonly co-occurring pathologies in brain and peripheral tissues, while addressing these critical concerns often overlooked in most mouse models of neurodegenerative diseases (i.e., genetic diversity, late symptom onset, systemic expression of mutations, etc).
