Unexpected consequences of combined glucocerebrosidase and acid sphingomyelinase deficiency in a model of Parkinson’s disease

ABSTRACT: Heterozygous variants in GBA1, encoding glucocerebrosidase (GCase), are the most common genetic risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Moreover, sporadic PD patients also have a substantial reduction of GCase activity. Genetic variants of SMPD1 are also overrepresented in PD cohorts, whereas a reduction of its encoded enzyme (acid sphingomyelinase or ASM) activity is linked to an earlier age of PD onset. Despite both converging on the ceramide pathway, how the combined deficiencies of both enzymes might interact to modulate PD has yet to be explored. Therefore, we created a double-knockout (DKO) AQ4 zebrafish line for both gba1 (or gba) ¶ and smpd1 to test for an interaction in vivo, hypothesising an exacerbation of phenotypes in the DKO line compared to those for single mutants

Mutant glucocerebrosidase impairs alpha-synuclein degradation by blockade of chaperone-mediated autophagy

Project description:The most common genetic risk factors for Parkinson’s disease (PD) are a set of heterozygous mutant (MT) alleles of the GBA1 gene that encodes Beta-glucocerebrosidase (GCase), an enzyme normally trafficked through the ER/ Golgi apparatus to the lysosomal lumen. We found that half of the GCase in lysosomes from post-mortem human GBA-PD brains was present on the lysosomal surface, and that this mislocalization depends on a pentapeptide motif in GCase used to target cytosolic protein for degradation by chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). Unfolded mutant GCase at the lysosomal surface inhibits CMA, causing accumulation of CMA substrates including -synuclein. Using single cell transcriptional analysis and comparative proteomics of brains from GBA-PD patients we confirmed reduced CMA activity and proteome changes comparable to those in CMA-deficient mouse brain. Loss of the MT GCase CMA motif is sufficient to rescue primary substantia nigra dopamine neurons from MT-GCase induced neuronal death. We conclude that MT GCase alleles block CMA function and produce -synuclein accumulation.

GBA1 regulates the CLEAR network through Calcineurin and TFEB in cellular models of Parkinson´s disease

Project description:The GBA1 gene encodes the lysosomal enzyme acid-β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase). GBA1 mutations cause the lysosomal storage disorder Gaucher disease (GD) and are a genetic risk factor for Parkinson´s disease (PD). Many GBA1 mutations cause aberrant GCase folding and processing but how these impinge on PD pathogenesis remains unclear. We addressed GCase functions in human dopaminergic (DA) neurons derived from engineered GBA1-deficient (GBA1-/-) embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and GBA1N370S PD patient-derived induced pluripotent cells (hiPSCs). GBA1-mutant DA neurons displayed aberrant morphologies and gene expression that were rescued by recombinant GCase treatment. GBA1-/- neurons have hyperactive Calcineurin (CaN) and nuclear localization of the Transcription Factor EB (TFEB). Expression of TFEB targets and lysosomal CLEAR network components were increased in GBA1-/- DA neurons and rescued by GCase replacement and CaN inhibition. Our findings reveal a link between increased CaN activity and loss of GCase, providing a mechanism for the disturbed lysosomal/autophagy pathways in GBA1-associated PD.

Mutant glucocerebrosidase impairs -synuclein degradation by blockade of chaperone-mediated autophagy

Project description:The most common genetic risk factors for Parkinson’s disease (PD) are a set of heterozygous mutant (MT) alleles of the GBA1 gene that encodes -glucocerebrosidase (GCase), an enzyme that is normally trafficked from the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus to the lysosomal lumen. We examined isolated lysosomes from anterior cingulate cortex, a region of high alpha-synuclein accumulation in GBA-PD, and found that while lysosomal GCase is entirely luminal in healthy controls, half of the lysosomal GBA-PD GCase was present on the lysosomal surface. This lysosomal mislocalization is dependent on a pentapeptide motif in GCase used for targeting of cytosolic proteins to lysosomes for degradation by chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), a type of autophagy inhibited by PD-related pathogenic proteins including -synuclein and LRRK2. Single cell transcriptional analysis and comparative proteomics of brains from GBA-PD patients demonstrated reduced CMA activity and overall proteome changes similar to those observed in mouse models with CMA blockage. We found that the delivery of unfolded mutant GCase to lysosomes decreased CMA due to recognition of unfolded mutant GCase to the chaperone hsc70, and the resulting complex binds the CMA receptor LAMP2A at the lysosomal surface. Unfolded mutant GCase is a poor substrate for translocation into the lysosomal lumen, and by interfering with LAMP2A multimerization, blocks the translocation and causes cytosolic accumulation of other CMA substrates including -synuclein and tau. In primary substantia nigra dopamine neurons, MT GCase led to neuronal death, while loss of the GCase CMA motif or deletion of -synuclein rescued the neurons. These results indicate how MT GCase alleles may converge with other PD proteins to block CMA function and produce -synuclein accumulation.

Proteomics analysis of lysosomes and whole cell lysates from H4 cellsLysosome, H4, glucocerebrosidase

Project description:Studies have shown that the majority of Parkinson's disease patients have at least one putative damaging variant in a lysosomal storage disorder gene (60%) and in about 10% of sporadic PD subjects, the disease is associated with mutations in GBA1, a gene coding for glucocerebrosidase, a lysosomal hydrolase. However, the precise cellular and lysosome-specific alterations upon loss of glucocerebrosidase are not established. The aim of this study is to characterize the proteome-wide changes at the cellular and lysosomal level in H4 cells upon loss of the GBA gene. Moreover, we tested if reinstating glucocerebrosidase activity by treating cells with our in-house GCase-BS (glucocerebrosidase-brain shuttle) can revert these changes, both at the cellular and lysosomal level.

Proteomic analysis of GBA iPSC-dopamine neurons

Project description:Heterozygous mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA) are the strongest common genetic risk factors for Parkinson’s disease (PD) present in around 5-10% of PD patients, resulting in lower age of onset and exacerbating disease progression, including an increased risk of dementia. However, the exact mechanisms leading from dysfunction of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase) encoded by GBA to PD pathogenesis and neurodegeneration remain unclear. Applying a novel multi-part enrichment workflow we have developed, we have isolated and quantified peptides with phosphorylation, cysteine-modification or N-linked glycosylation simultaneously. We applied this methodology to iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons from GBA-N370S PD patients and healthy age-matched controls, identifying large numbers of dysregulated native and modified proteins.

Cell cycle arrest of neural progenitors causes impaired dopaminergic neuronal differentiation in GBA associated Parkinson’s disease midbrain organoids [2]

Project description:The mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease (PD) etiology are only partially understood despite intensive research conducted in the field. Recent evidence suggests that early neurodevelopmental defects might play a role in cellular susceptibility to neurodegeneration. To study the early developmental contribution of GBA mutations in PD we used patient-derived iPSCs carrying a heterozygous N370S mutation in the GBA gene. Patient-specific midbrain organoids displayed GBA-PD relevant phenotypes such as reduction of GCase activity, autophagy impairment and mitochondrial dysfunction. Genome-scale metabolic (GEM) modeling predicted changes in lipid metabolism which were validated with lipidomics analysis, showing significant differences in the lipidome of GBA-PD. In addition, patient-specific midbrain organoids exhibited an increase in the neural progenitor population showing signs of cellular senescence. This was accompanied by a decrease in the number and complexity of dopaminergic neurons. These results provide insights into how GBA mutations may lead to neurodevelopmental defects thereby predisposing to PD pathology.

C5a Activates a Pro-Inflammatory Gene Expression Profile in Human Gaucher iPSC-Derived Macrophages

Project description:Gaucher disease (GD) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by bi-allelic GBA1 mutations that reduce the activity of the lysosomal enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase). In the immune system, GCase deficiency deregulates signal transduction events, resulting in an inflammatory environment. It is known that the complement system promotes inflammation, and complement inhibitors are currently being considered as a novel therapy for GD; however, the mechanism by which complement drives ystemic macrophage-mediated inflammation remains incompletely understood. To help understand the mechanisms involved, we performed gene array analysis on rC5a-treated human control and GD-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived macrophages.

iPSC-derived neurons from GBA1-associated Parkinson's disease patients show autophagic/lysosomal dysfunction and impaired calcium homeostasis

Project description:Mutations in the acid β-glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) gene, responsible for the lysosomal storage disorder Gaucher’s disease (GD), are the strongest genetic risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD) known to date. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in these patients, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells from subjects with GD and PD harboring GBA1 mutations and differentiated them to midbrain dopaminergic neurons. Highly enriched neurons showed a reduction of glucocerebrosidase activity and protein levels, increased glucosylceramide and α-synuclein levels and autophagic/lysosomal defects. Quantitative proteomics profiling revealed an increase of the neuronal calcium-binding protein 2 (NECAB2) in diseased neurons. We found dysregulation of calcium homeostasis and increased vulnerability to stress responses involving elevation of cytosolic calcium in mutant neurons. Importantly, correction of the mutations rescued such pathological phenotypes. Our findings provide evidence for a link between GBA1 mutations and complex changes in autophagic/lysosomal system and intracellular calcium homeostasis, which underlie vulnerability to neurodegeneration.
