LSD1 inhibition induces neurodegeneration and provides a common link to Alzheimer's disease and Frontotemporal dementia

ABSTRACT: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are the two most common forms of dementia that occur during aging. Both AD and FTD are associated with the pathological aggregation of proteins. Nevertheless, it remains unclear how these protein aggregates lead to neuronal cell death in these dementias. Here we show that the histone demethylase LSD1 is mislocalized with cytoplasmic aggregates in human cases of AD and FTD. In addition, loss of LSD1 systemically in adult mice is sufficient to recapitulate many aspects of these diseases. From these data, we propose that the aggregation of Tau and TDP-43 lead to neuronal cell death in AD and FTD by interfering with the continuous requirement for LSD1 to repress inappropriate transcription. Furthermore, we observe the inappropriate reactivation of stem cell loci in the hippocampal neurons of LSD1 mutant mice. This suggests that LSD1 may function to maintain the fate of differentiated neurons by repressing stem cell transcription.

smRNA-sequencing of human post-mortem brain tissue of the frontal lobe from patients with Frontotemporal Dementia and healthy controls

Project description:Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is essential for the development of successful therapies. Systematic studies on human post-mortem brain tissue of patients with genetic subtypes of FTD are currently lacking. The Risk and Modyfing Factors of Frontotemporal Dementia (RiMod-FTD) consortium therefore has generated multi-omics datasets for genetic subtypes of FTD to identify common and distinct molecular mechanisms disturbed in disease. This experiment contains data from smRNA-sequencing of human post-mortem brain tissue of the frontal lobe from patients with FTD caused by mutations in GRN, MAPT or C9orf72 and healthy controls.

Distinct cell type-specific protein signatures in GRN and MAPT genetic subtypes of frontotemporal dementia

Project description:INTRODUCTION: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is characterized by progressive atrophy of frontal and/or temporal cortices and considerable clinical, pathological, and genetic heterogeneity. METHODS: Frontal and temporal cortex tissues from FTD-GRN (n=9), FTD-MAPT (n=13), and non-demented controls (n=11) were analysed with quantitative proteomics (DIA). Expression-weighted cell type enrichment deduced the role of major brain cell types and gene ontology analysis identified distinct biological processes. FTD-MAPT data was also compared to an AD (n=10) protein signature. RESULTS: We identified brain region-specific FTD protein expression signatures. In frontal cortex of FTD-GRN, we observed immune processes in endothelial cells and mitochondrial dysregulation in neurons. In temporal cortex of FTD-MAPT, we observed dysregulated RNA processing, oligodendrocyte dysfunction, and axonal impairment. Comparison with AD indicated that alterations in RNA processing and oligodendrocyte function are distinct for FTD-MAPT. DISCUSSION: Our results indicate cell type-specific biological processes distinctive for genetic FTD subtypes. These findings may aid the development of FTD subtype-specific treatment strategies.

Toxic gain of function from mutant FUS protein is crucial to trigger cell autonomous motor neuron loss

Project description:FUS is an RNA-binding protein involved in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Cytoplasmic FUS-containing aggregates are often associated with concomitant loss of nuclear FUS. Whether loss of nuclear FUS function, gain of a cytoplasmic function, or a combination of both lead to neurodegeneration remains elusive. To address this question, we generated knock-in mice expressing mislocalized cytoplasmic FUS and complete FUS knock-out mice. Both mouse models display similar perinatal lethality with respiratory insufficiency, reduced body weight and length, and largely similar alterations in gene expression and mRNA splicing patterns, indicating that mislocalized FUS results in loss of its normal function. However, FUS knock-in mice, but not FUS knock-out mice, display reduced motor neuron numbers at birth, associated with enhanced motor neuron apoptosis, which can be rescued by cell-specific CRE-mediated expression of wild-type FUS within motor neurons. Together, our findings indicate that cytoplasmic FUS mislocalization not only leads to nuclear loss of function, but also triggers motor neuron death through a toxic gain of function within motor neurons.

Truncated stathmin-2 is a marker of TDP-43 pathology in frontotemporal dementia

Project description:No treatment for frontotemporal dementia (FTD), the second most common type of early-onset dementia, is available, but therapeutics are being investigated to target the 2 main proteins associated with FTD pathological subtypes: TDP-43 (FTLD-TDP) and tau (FTLD-tau). Testing potential therapies in clinical trials is hampered by our inability to distinguish between patients with FTLD-TDP and FTLD-tau. Therefore, we evaluated truncated stathmin-2 (STMN2) as a proxy of TDP-43 pathology, given the reports that TDP-43 dysfunction causes truncated STMN2 accumulation. Truncated STMN2 accumulated in human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived neurons depleted of TDP-43, but not in those with pathogenic TARDBP mutations in the absence of TDP-43 aggregation or loss of nuclear protein. In RNA-Seq analyses of human brain samples from the NYGC ALS cohort, truncated STMN2 RNA was confined to tissues and disease subtypes marked by TDP-43 inclusions. Last, we validated that truncated STMN2 RNA was elevated in the frontal cortex of a cohort of patients with FTLD-TDP but not in controls or patients with progressive supranuclear palsy, a type of FTLD-tau. Further, in patients with FTLD-TDP, we observed significant associations of truncated STMN2 RNA with phosphorylated TDP-43 levels and an earlier age of disease onset. Overall, our data uncovered truncated STMN2 as a marker for TDP-43 dysfunction in FTD.

Neurovascular dysfunction in GRN-associated frontotemporal dementia identified by single-nucleus RNA-sequencing of human cerebral cortex

Project description:Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most prevalent form of early-onset dementia, affecting predominantly frontal and temporal cerebral lobes. Heterozygous mutations in the progranulin gene (GRN) cause autosomal-dominant FTD (FTD-GRN), associated with TDP-43 inclusions, neuronal loss, axonal degeneration and gliosis, but FTD-GRN pathogenesis is largely unresolved. Here we report single-nucleus RNA sequencing of microglia, astrocytes and the neurovasculature from frontal, temporal and occipital cortical tissue from control and FTD-GRN brains. We show that fibroblast and mesenchymal cell numbers were enriched in FTD-GRN, and we identified disease-associated subtypes of astrocytes and endothelial cells. Expression of gene modules associated with blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction was significantly enriched in FTD-GRN endothelial cells. The vasculature supportive function and capillary coverage by pericytes was reduced in FTD-GRN tissue, with increased and hypertrophic vascularization and an enrichment of perivascular T cells. Our results indicate a perturbed BBB and suggest that the neurovascular unit is severely affected in FTD-GRN.

Identification of novel CSF biomarkers in GRN-associated frontotemporal dementia by proteomics

Project description:Frontotemporal dementia is the second most common form of presenile dementia and autosomal dominant inheritance is present in 20-30% of cases, with mutations in granulin (GRN) as a major cause. The exact pathophysiological mechanism by which GRN mutations lead to neurodegeneration is poorly understood. We aimed to identify novel cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers in GRN-associated frontotemporal dementia using shotgun proteomics. We included CSF from presymptomatic and symptomatic GRN mutation carriers and healthy non-carriers (controls). We validated our discovery proteomics results in a large international cohort of GRN-mutation carriers and other forms of genetic FTD (C9orf72- and MAPT-mutation carriers) by parallel reaction monitoring.

Osteopontin drives neuroinflammation and cell loss in MAPT-N279K frontotemporal dementia patient neurons

Project description:Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an incurable group of early-onset dementias that can be caused by deposition of hyperphosphorylated tau in patient brains. However, the mechanisms leading to neurodegeneration remain largely unknown. Here, we combined single-cell analyses of FTD patient brains with a stem cell culture and transplantation model of FTD. We identified disease phenotypes in FTD neurons carrying the MAPT-N279K mutation, which were related to oxidative stress, oxidative phosphorylation and neuroinflammation with an upregulation of the inflammation-associated protein osteopontin (OPN). Human FTD neurons survived less and elicited an increased microglial response after transplantation into the mouse forebrain, that we further characterized by single nucleus RNA-sequencing of microdissected grafts. Notably, downregulation of OPN in engrafted FTD neurons resulted in improved engraftment and reduced microglial infiltration, indicating an immune-modulatory role of OPN in patient neurons, which may represent a potential therapeutic target in FTD.
