Project description:Martin et al. JCI Insigh (2017). Increasing NAD+ levels by supplementing with the precursor nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) improves cardiac function in multiple mouse models of disease. While NMN influences several aspects of mitochondrial metabolism, the molecular mechanisms by which increased NAD+ enhances cardiac function are poorly understood. A putative mechanism of NAD+ therapeutic action is via activation of the mitochondrial NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin 3 (SIRT3). We assessed the therapeutic efficacy of NMN and the role of SIRT3 in the Friedreich’s Ataxia cardiomyopathy mouse model (FXNKO). At baseline, the FXNKO heart has mitochondrial protein hyperacetylation, reduced Sirt3 mRNA expression, and evidence of increased NAD+ salvage. Remarkably, NMN administered to FXNKO mice restores cardiac function to near-normal levels. To determine whether SIRT3 is required for NMN therapeutic efficacy, we generated SIRT3KO and SIRT3KO/FXNKO (dKO) knockout models. The improvement in cardiac function upon NMN treatment in the FXNKO is lost in the dKO model, demonstrating that the effects of NMN are dependent upon cardiac SIRT3. Coupled with cardio- protection, SIRT3 mediates NMN-induced improvements in both cardiac and extra-cardiac metabolic function and energy metabolism. Taken together, these results serve as important preclinical data for NMN supplementation or SIRT3 activator therapy in Friedreich’s Ataxia patients.

Project description:Gene expression studies in peripheral tissues from patients with neurodegenerative disorders can provide insights into disease pathogenesis, and identify potential biomarkers, an important goal of translational research in neurodegeneration. Friedreich’s Ataxia (FRDA) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease caused by reduced transcription of frataxin, a ubiquitously expressed protein. We studied in vitro lymphocytes from FRDA patients and carriers, in order to identify a peripheral gene expression phenotype. Peripheral biomarkers related to disease status would be extremely valuable for assessing drug efficacy and could provide new pathophysiological insights. We identified a subset of genes changed in cells from patients with pathological frataxin deficiency and a core set of these genes were confirmed in independent series. Changes in gene expression were related to the mitochondria, lipid metabolism, cell cycle, and DNA repair, consistent with FRDA’s known pathophysiology. We evaluated the in vitro effect of multiple compounds (HDAC inhibitors) on this putative biomarker set, and found that this biochemical phenotype was ameliorated in accordance with drug efficacy. Frataxin downregulation is associated with robust changes in gene expression in PBMCs, providing pathogenetic insights and a core subset of genes which, if verified in vivo, could be used as a peripheral biomarker. We characterized the gene expression profiles in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from FRDA patients, compared with controls and related carriers. Cells were studied both before and after in vitro treatment with compounds that increase frataxin levels. Quantitative real-time PCR and additional microarrays were used to confirm a core set of genes in multiple independent series

Project description:The inherited neurodegenerative disease Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is caused by hyperexpansion of GAA•TTC trinucleotide repeats within the first intron of the FXN gene, encoding the mitochondrial protein frataxin. Long GAA•TTC repeats causes heterochromatin-mediated silencing and loss of frataxin in affected individuals. We report the derivation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from FRDA patient fibroblasts through retroviral transduction of transcription factors. FXN gene repression is maintained in the iPSCs, as are the mRNA and miRNA global expression signatures reflecting the human disease. GAA•TTC repeats uniquely in FXN in the iPSCs exhibit repeat instability similar to patient families, where they expand and/or contract with discrete changes in length between generations. The mismatch repair enzyme Msh2, implicated in repeat instability in other triplet repeat diseases, is highly expressed in the iPSCs, occupies FXN intron 1, and shRNA silencing of Msh2 impedes repeat expansion, providing a possible molecular explanation for repeat expansion in FRDA.

Project description:In our chemogenetic neurovacular mouse model, DRGs transcriptomic analysis was performed by RNA-seq; Oxidative stress is associated with cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease. We created transgenic chemogenetic mouse lines expressing yeast D-amino oxidase (DAAO) in endothelial cells and neurons. DAAO generates hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in target tissues when mice are provided with D-amino acids, causing oxidative stress. DAAO-TGCdh5 transgenic mice express DAAO under control of the putatively endothelial-specific Cdh5 promoter. We provided these mice with D-alanine¬– expecting a vascular phenotype– but found that the mice develop sensory ataxia and neurodegeneration in dorsal root ganglia (DRG), associated with transgene expression within DRG neurons; electron microscopy revealed distorted mitochondria. DAAO-TGCdh5 mice also develop cardiac hypertrophy in response to chemogenetic oxidative stress, and we discovered transgene expression in parasympathetic nodose ganglia innervating the heart. We developed and characterized another transgenic line expressing DAAO under control of a different endothelial cell-specific Tie2 promoter. DAAO-TGTie2 mice express the transgene in endothelium but not neurons, and develop neither ataxia nor cardiac hypertrophy. The combination of ataxia, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cardiac hypertrophy is similar to findings in patients with Friedreich's Ataxia. Our observations confirm that neurovascular oxidative stress is sufficient to cause sensory ataxia and cardiac hypertrophy, and identify the DAAO-TGCdh5 mouse as a potentially informative animal model for Friedreich’s Ataxia.

Project description:Frataxin, a conserved mitochondrial protein involved in iron homeostasis, is reduced in patients with Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA). Transcription profiling and DNA damage assays were performed on blood cells from FRDA patients. Altered expression patterns pertained to immune response, signaling pathways, transcription, apoptosis, and genotoxic stress response pathways. FRDA patients had significantly more mitochondrial and nuclear DNA damage than a control population. Frataxin mRNA levels correlated with age of onset and displayed unique sets of gene alterations involved in oxidative phosphorylation and protein synthesis. Thus analysis of blood in FRDA patients yields insight into the nature and progression of the disease, as well as potential therapeutic approaches.

Project description:Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA; OMIM 229300), an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative mitochondrial disease, is the most prevalent hereditary ataxia. In addition, FRDA patients showed additional non-neurological features such as scoliosis, diabetes and cardiac complications. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is found in two thirds of patients at the time of diagnosis, is the primary cause of death in these patients. In this data set, using small RNA-sequencing of small RNA purified from plasma samples of FRDA patients and controls we identified differential expression of miRNAs (hsa-miR-128-3p, hsa-miR-625-3p, hsa-miR-130b-5p, hsa-miR-151a-5p, hsa-miR-330-3p, hsa-miR-323a-3p, and hsa-miR-142-3p) between both groups. In addition, we found that miR-323a-3p can be used as a biomarker for differentiation of FRDA patients with cardiac problems. Identification of miRNA signatures could therefore provide new molecular explanation for pathological mechanisms occurring during the natural history of the FRDA. Since miRNA levels change with disease progression and pharmacological interventions, miRNAs will contribute to design new therapeutic strategies and improve clinical decisions. Plama miRNA profiles of 25 Friedreich's ataxia patients and 17 healthy subjects were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiScan SQ.

Project description:Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease usually caused by large homozygous expansions of GAA repeat sequences in intron 1 of the frataxin (FXN) gene. FRDA patients have low FXN mRNA and frataxin protein levels when compared with heterozygous carriers or healthy controls. Presently, there is no effective treatment for FRDA, and biomarkers to measure therapeutic trial outcomes and/or to gauge disease progression are lacking. Peripheral tissues, including blood cells, buccal cells, and skin fibroblasts, can readily be isolated from FRDA patients and used to define molecular hallmarks of disease pathogenesis. However, because these tissues are not directly involved in disease pathogenesis, their relevance as models of the molecular aspects of the disease is yet to be decided. Transcriptome profiling of FRDA skin fibroblasts revealed significantly upregulated expression of genes encoding plasma membrane solute carrier proteins. Conversely, the expression of genes encoding accessory factors and enzymes involved in cytoplasmic and mitochondrial protein synthesis was consistently decreased in the FRDA cells. Finally, comparison of genes differentially expressed in FRDA fibroblasts to 3 previously published gene expression signatures defined for FRDA blood cells showed substantial overlap between the independent datasets, including correspondingly deficient expression of antioxidant defense genes. Together, these results indicate that gene expression profiling of cells derived from peripheral tissues can, in fact, consistently reveal novel molecular pathways of the disease.
