LRRK2-G2019S Impairs Astrocyte Differentiation and Triggers a senescence-like phenotype in Parkinson's Disease Models - Midbrain organoids

ABSTRACT: Astrocytes are increasingly recognised as essential contributors to both physiological brain function and neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we describe how the Parkinson’s disease (PD)-associated mutation LRRK2-G2019S affects astrocytes using autoptic brain samples and PD patient-specific 3D midbrain organoids and 2D astrocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells. In autoptic midbrain samples from LRRK2-G2019S patients, we observed a reduction in GFAP⁺ astrocytes but increased branching, together with transcriptional signatures consistent with altered astrocyte function. We also observed delayed astrocyte differentiation in PD patient-specific midbrain organoids, accompanied by altered astrocyte transcriptomic profiles revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing. This defective differentiation contributes to the acquisition of a senescent-like phenotype. In 2D cultures, astrocyte differentiation from LRRK2-G2019S precursor cells was associated with early apoptosis and altered Wnt/β-catenin and TGFβ signalling compared to LRRK2-WT cultures. Notably, pharmacological activation of the developmental transcription factor NR2F1, downregulated in LRRK2-G2019S models, reduced astrocyte cell death and senescence-like phenotypes. Together, these data show that LRRK2-G2019S impairs astrocyte specification and predisposes to a senescent phenotype.

RNA-Seq of LRRK2 G2019S Parkinson’s iPSC-derived astrocytes

Project description:Non-neuronal cell types such as astrocytes can contribute to Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathology. The G2019S mutation in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is one of the most common known causes of familial PD. To characterize its effect on astrocytes, we developed a protocol to produce midbrain-patterned astrocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from PD LRRK2 G2019S patients and healthy controls. In order to understand the effect of this mutation on astrocyte function, we compared the gene expression profiles of iPSC-derived midbrain-patterned astrocytes from PD patients with those from healthy controls.

Modelling G2019S-LRRK2 sporadic Parkinson’s disease in 3D midbrain organoids

Project description:Recent advances in generating 3 dimensional (3D) organoid systems from stem cells offer new possibilities for disease modeling. In this study, we generate isogenic 3D midbrain organoids with or without a Parkinson’s disease-associated LRRK2 G2019S mutation. LRRK2-G2019S midbrain organoids derived from LRRK2 targeted human iPSCs in vitro have LRRK2-associated sporadic Parkinson's disease phenotypes. Midbrain-like 3D organoids expressing LRRK2-G2019S showed dynamic changes in globle gene expression.

The LRRK2 G2019S mutation alters astrocyte-to-neuron communication via extracellular vesicles and induces neuron atrophy in a human iPSC-derived model of Parkinson’s disease

Project description:Astrocytes are essential cells of the central nervous system, characterized by dynamic relationships with neurons that range from functional metabolic interactions and regulation of neuronal firing activities, to the release of neurotrophic and neuroprotective factors. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), dopaminergic neurons are a vulnerable population progressively lost during the course of the disease, but the effects of PD on astrocytes and astrocyte-to-neuron communication remains mostly unknown. This study focuses on the effects of the PD-related mutation LRRK2 G2019S in astrocytes, using patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells. We report the alteration of extracellular vesicle (EV) biogenesis in astrocytes, and we identify the abnormal accumulation of key PD-related proteins within multi vesicular bodies (MVBs). We found that dopaminergic neurons internalize astrocyte-secreted EVs but LRRK2 G2019S EVs are abnormally enriched in the neurites and provide only marginal neurotrophic support to dopaminergic neurons. Thus, dysfunctional astrocyte-to-neuron communication via altered EV biological properties could participate in the progression of PD.

Genome-wide expression profiling of the LRRK2-G2019S mutation in hNES cells

Project description:Parkinson’s disease (PD) has a neuro-developmental component with multiple genetic predispositions. The most prevalent mutation, LRRK2-G2019S is linked to familial and sporadic PD. Based on the multiple origins of PD and the incomplete penetrance of LRRK2-G2019S, we hypothesize that modifiers in the patient genetic background act as susceptibility factors for developing PD. To assess the developmental component of LRRK2-G2019S pathogenesis, we used 19 human iPSC-derived neuroepithelial stem cell lines (NESCs). Isogenic controls distinguish between LRRK2-G2019S dependent and independent cellular phenotypes. LRRK2-G2019S patient and healthy mutagenized lines showed altered NESC self-renewal. Within patients, phenotypes were only partly LRRK2-G2019S dependent, suggesting Parkinson’s disease (PD) has a neuro-developmental component with multiple genetic predispositions.

Within patients, phenotypes were only partly LRRK2-G2019S dependent, suggesting a significant contribution of the genetic background. We identified Serine racemase (SRR) as a novel patient-specific, developmental, genetic modifier contributing to the abberant phenotypes. Its enzymatic product, D-Serine, rescued altered NESC renewal. Susceptibility factors in the genetic background, such as SRR, could be new targets for early PD diagnosis and treatment.

Deciphering shared molecular dysregulation across Parkinson's Disease variants using a multi-modal network-based data integration and analysis

Project description:Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no effective treatment. Advances in neuroscience and systems biomedicine now enable the use of complex patient-specific in vitro disease models and cutting-edge computational tools for data integration, enhancing our understanding of complex PD mechanisms. To explore common biomedical features across monogenic PD forms, we developed a knowledge graph (KG) by integrating previously published high-content imaging and RNA sequencing data of PD patient-specific midbrain organoids harbouring LRRK2-G2019S, SNCA triplication, GBA-N370S or MIRO1-R272Q mutation with publicly available biological data. Furthermore, we generated a single-cell RNA sequencing dataset of midbrain organoids derived from idiopathic PD patients (IPD) to stratify IPD patients towards genetic forms of PD.

in-vitro differentiated midbrain dopaminergic neurons from isogenic human induced pluripotent stem cells

Project description:We have generated isogenic induced pluripotent stem cell lines by reprogramming human fibroblasts from patients carrying the LRRK2 G2019S mutation with subsequent zinc finger nuclease - mediated targeted correction of the diseased allele. These iPS cell lines were differentiated for 30 days using a direct differentiation protocol towards midbrain dopaminergic neurons (mDANs). Isogenic human iPS cells carrying the LRRK2 WT and G2019S locus were differentiated to dopaminergic neurons to detect gene expression changes associated with mutated LRRK2.

Neural stem cells of Parkinson’s disease patients exhibit aberrant mitochondrial morphology and functionality

Project description:Emerging evidence suggest that Parkinson's disease (PD), besides being an age-associated disorder, might also have a neurodevelopment component. Disruption of mitochondrial homeostasis has been highlighted as a crucial cofactor in its etiology. Here, we show that PD patient-specific human neuroepithelial stem cells (NESCs) carrying the LRRK2-G2019S mutation recapitulate key mitochondrial defects previously described only in differentiated dopaminergic neurons. By combining high-content imaging approaches, 3D image analysis, and functional mitochondrial readouts we show that LRRK2-G2019S mutation caused aberrations in mitochondrial morphology and functionality compared to isogenic controls. LRRK2-G2019S NESCs displayed an increased number of mitochondria compared to isogenic control lines. However, these mitochondria were more fragmented and exhibited decreased membrane potential. Coherently, the release of total and mitochondrial redox oxidative species increased in LRRK2-G2019S NESC compared to controls. Functional alterations in LRRK2-G2019S cultures were also accompanied by a reduced mitophagic clearance via lysosomes. These findings support the hypothesis that preceding mitochondrial developmental defects contribute to the manifestation of the PD pathology later in life.

LRRK2-RAB12 Complex Suppresses Primary Ciliogenesis and Regulates Centrosome Homeostasis in Astrocytes

Project description:Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) phosphorylates a subset of RAB GTPases and this phosphorylation is elevated by Parkinson’s disease (PD)-linked mutations of LRRK2. However, the precise function of the specific RAB GTPase targeted by LRRK2 signaling remains to be elucidated. Here we solve the structure of LRRK2-RAB12 protein complex and reveal a physiological role of RAB12 in the brain. We find that RAB12 corporates with LRRK2 to inhibits the primary ciliogenesis and regulate centrosome homeostasis in astrocytes through recruiting RILPL1 and enhancing the phosphorylation of RAB10, while the functions of RAB12 require a direct interaction with LRRK2 and LRRK2 kinase activity. Furthermore, the ciliary deficits and centrosome alteration caused by the PD-linked LRRK2-G2019S mutation are prevented by disrupting Rab12 in astrocytes. Our study identifies a central role for the LRRK2-RAB12 complex in regulating ciliogenesis and centrosome homeostasis, and the LRRK2-RAB12 structure offers guidance in therapeutic development by targeting the LRRK2-RAB12 interaction.
