Project description:When mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) was first linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), it was thought that ALS is a disease of oxidative stress, but this idea has taken a back seat since the discovery of multiple ALS-linked genes involved in RNA processing and proteostasis. Strikingly, a hallmark of both familial and sporadic ALS is the aggregation of the essential DNA/RNA binding protein TDP-43, which is thought to cause simultaneous loss-of-nuclear function and gain-of-cytoplasmic toxicity. A central unanswered question is what triggers ALS in adult followed by rapid and irreversible progression? Here we report that neuronal cells are particularly prone to oxidative stress to trigger TDP-43 aggregation, which in turn sponges a large subset of microRNAs and proteins, resulting in global mitochondrial imbalance that further elevates the oxidative stress. We propose that this ferocious cycle may underlie ALS onset and progression with oxidative stress as a key disease-driving event.

Project description:Recent genetic studies of ALS patients have identified several forms of ALS that are associated with mutations in RNA binding proteins. In animals or cultured cells, such defects broadly affect RNA metabolism. This raises the question of whether all forms of ALS have general effects on RNA metabolism. We tested this hypothesis in a mouse model of ALS that is transgenic for a human disease-causing mutation in the enzyme superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1). We analyzed RNA from laser-captured spinal cord motor neuron cell bodies of the mutant SOD1 strain, comparing the RNA profile with that from a corresponding wild-type SOD1 transgenic strain. We prepared the samples from animals that were presymptomatic, but which manifested abnormalities at the cellular level that are seen in ALS, including aggregation of the mutant protein in motor neuron cell bodies and defective morphology of neuromuscular junctions, the connections between neuron and muscle. We observed only minor changes in the level and splicing of RNA in the SOD1 mutant animals as compared with wild-type, suggesting that mutant SOD1 produces the toxic effects of ALS by a mechanism that does not involve global RNA disturbance.

Project description:Hexanucleotide repeat expansions in the C9orf72 gene are the most common cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (c9FTD/ALS). The nucleotide repeat expansions are translated into dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins, which are aggregation-prone and may contribute to neurodegeneration. We used the CRISPR-Cas9 system to perform genome-wide gene knockout screens for suppressors and enhancers of C9orf72 DPR toxicity in human cells. We validated hits by performing secondary CRISPR-Cas9 screens in primary mouse neurons. We uncovered potent modifiers of DPR toxicity whose gene products function in nucleocytoplasmic transport, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), proteasome, RNA processing pathways, and in chromatin modification. One modifier, TMX2, modulated the ER-stress signature elicited by C9orf72 DPRs in neurons, and improved survival of human induced motor neurons from C9orf72 ALS patients. Together, this work demonstrates the promise of CRISPR-Cas9 screens to define mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases. This dataset contains the RNA-sequencing data used to support the conclusions from this study.

Project description:Zinc is an essential trace element, and impaired zinc homeostasis is implicated in the pathogenesis of various human diseases. However, the mechanisms cells use to respond to zinc deficiency are poorly understood. We previously reported that amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-linked pathogenic mutants of SOD1 cause chronic ER stress through specific interactions with Derlin-1, which is a component of the ER-associated degradation machinery. Moreover, we recently demonstrated that this interaction is common to ALS-linked SOD1 mutants, and SOD1WT comprises a masked Derlin-1-binding region. We found that under serum starved and zinc-deficient conditions, SOD1WT adopts a mutant-like conformation that exposes the Derlin-1-binding region, suggesting that SOD1-Derlin-1 interaction may contribute to induce ER stress under these conditions. Using RNA microarrays, we revealed that the zinc depletion and serum starvation induce the expression of the unfolded protein response (UPR) target genes, including HSPA5/BiP, SEL1L, DNAJC3/p58, and ARMET. We conclude that SOD1 has a novel function as a molecular switch that activates the ER stress response under zinc-deficient conditions

Project description:Protein aggregation is associated with neurodegeneration and various other pathologies. How specific cellular environments modulate the aggregation of disease proteins is not well understood. Here we investigated how the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control system handles β-sheet proteins that were designed de novo to form amyloid-like fibrils. While these proteins undergo toxic aggregation in the cytosol, we find that targeting them to the ER (ER-β) strongly reduces their toxicity. ER-β is retained within the ER in a soluble polymeric state, despite reaching very high concentrations exceeding those of ER-resident molecular chaperones. ER-β is not removed by ER-associated degradation (ERAD) but interferes with ERAD of other proteins. These findings demonstrate a remarkable capacity of the ER to prevent the formation of insoluble β-aggregates and the secretion of potentially toxic protein species. Our results also suggest a generic mechanism by which proteins with exposed β-sheet structure in the ER interfere with proteostasis.

Project description:When mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) was first linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), it was thought that ALS is a disease of oxidative stress. Since the discovery of multiple ALS-linked genes involved in RNA processing and proteostasis, most recent research has been focused on molecular defects induced by those mutant genes, but whether and how oxidative stress might contribute to magnification of those molecular defects have remained unaddressed. Strikingly, a hallmark of both familial and sporadic ALS is the aggregation of the essential DNA/RNA binding protein TDP-43, which is thought to cause simultaneous loss-of-nuclear function and gain-of-cytoplasmic toxicity. A central unanswered question is what triggers ALS in adult followed by rapid and irreversible progression? Here we report that neuronal cells are particularly prone to oxidative stress to trigger TDP-43 aggregation, which in turn sponges a large subset of microRNAs and proteins to cause both up-regulation and functional depletion of different sets of gene products. Remarkably, a large fraction of those functionally perturbed genes are nuclear genome-encoded mitochondrial proteins, thus resulting in a global mitochondrial imbalance, which further augments oxidative stress. We propose that this ferocious cycle driven by oxidative stress in combination with causal mutations in critical genes may underlie ALS onset and progression.

Project description:Purpose: To investigate the critical role ER stress exhibit in cellular crosstalk between tumor cells and macrophages in the tumor microenvironment. We performed the two different polarized macrophages under ER stress and harvested the ER-stressed conditioned media. To figure out how two macrophage polarities generated conditioned media impact LLC tumor cells diversely, we use RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) strategies to profile the deep-sequencing research and find the potential molecular mechanisms during the ER stress transmission from macrophages to tumor cells. The major differential influences the two macrophages proceeded were attribute to macrophages polarization characteristics, which instruct us to study the two polarized macrophages. Hence, we also performed RNA-sequencing during in vitro stimulation of ER stress inducer Tm in two polarized bone marrow derived macrophages. Methods: After different treatment, LLC tumor cells mRNA was extracted and LLC tumor cells transcriptome profiles were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina. Under ER stress, the different polarized macrophages transcriptome profiles were also generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina. Results: Macrophages displayed different polarization characteristics could respond to ER stress differentially. Notably, GM-BMDMs were more susceptible to ER stress and facilitated the induction of proinflammatory signals, and M-BMDMs facilitate tumor growth, process, and metastasis. LLC cells exhibit different gene expression profiles in response to transferred ER stress from two polarized macrophage populations. Tumor cells that received transmissible ER stress from M2 macrophages has potential to facilitate the tumor survival, while transmissible ER stress from M1 macrophages could lead to more acute cell death and inflammation. Conclusion: Our study revealed that tumor cells could receive the transmissible ER stress from distinct macrophage populations with different extents of ER stress activation in the tumor microenvironment. The proinflammatory M1-like macrophages respond to ER stress more potently and transmit stronger ER stress to tumor cells. By analyzing the secreted components of two ER stressed macrophage populations, we identified that S100A8 and S100A9, which are dominantly secreted by M1-like macrophages, could lead to significant recipient tumor cell death in synergy with transferred ER stress.

Modelling the Role of the Hsp70/Hsp90 System in the Maintenance of Protein Homeostasis

Abstract:
Neurodegeneration is an age-related disorder which is characterised by the accumulation of aggregated protein and neuronal cell death. There are many different neurodegenerative diseases which are classified according to the specific proteins involved and the regions of the brain which are affected. Despite individual differences, there are common mechanisms at the sub-cellular level leading to loss of protein homeostasis. The two central systems in protein homeostasis are the chaperone system, which promotes correct protein folding, and the cellular proteolytic system, which degrades misfolded or damaged proteins. Since these systems and their interactions are very complex, we use mathematical modelling to aid understanding of the processes involved. The model developed in this study focuses on the role of Hsp70 (IPR00103) and Hsp90 (IPR001404) chaperones in preventing both protein aggregation and cell death. Simulations were performed under three different conditions: no stress; transient stress due to an increase in reactive oxygen species; and high stress due to sustained increases in reactive oxygen species. The model predicts that protein homeostasis can be maintained during short periods of stress. However, under long periods of stress, the chaperone system becomes overwhelmed and the probability of cell death pathways being activated increases. Simulations were also run in which cell death mediated by the JNK (P45983) and p38 (Q16539) pathways was inhibited. The model predicts that inhibiting either or both of these pathways may delay cell death but does not stop the aggregation process and that eventually cells die due to aggregated protein inhibiting proteasomal function. This problem can be overcome if the sequestration of aggregated protein into inclusion bodies is enhanced. This model predicts responses to reactive oxygen species-mediated stress that are consistent with currently available experimental data. The model can be used to assess specific interventions to reduce cell death due to impaired protein homeostasis.
Note:
Simulations were performed under three different conditions: 1) normal condition (no stress), 2) moderate stress due to an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) i.e. ROS levels were increased by a factor of 4 at time=4hours for a period of 1 hour (not 2 hours as mentioned in the figure 5 legend of the reference publication. This is a typo in the paper and is clarified by the author) and 3) high stress due to sustained increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) (here ROS increases with time).
The model that corresponds to the normal condition is submitted as a main model in the BioModels Database. The other two models, that corresponds to the moderate stress conditions and high stress conditions are available in SBML format as supporting files [go to Curation tab].
