Synaptic proteome changes in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

ABSTRACT: Synaptic dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BP). In this study, we used quantitative mass-spectrometry to carry out deep and unbiased profiling of the proteome of synapses purified from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of 35 controls and 35 cases each with SCZ or BP. Compared to controls, SCZ and BP synapses showed substantial and similar proteomic alterations. Network and gene set enrichment analyses revealed upregulation of proteins associated with autophagy and certain vesicle transport pathways, and downregulation of proteins related to synaptic, mitochondrial, and ribosomal function in the synapses of individuals with SCZ or BP. We also uncovered evidence for dysregulation of some of the same pathways (e.g., upregulation of vesicle transport, downregulation of mitochondrial and ribosomal proteins) in the synaptic proteome of mutant mice deficient in Akap11, a recently discovered risk gene for both SCZ and BP. Our work provides novel biological insights and hypotheses into molecular dysfunction at the synapse in SCZ and BP and serves as a resource for understanding the pathophysiology of these debilitating neuropsychiatric disorders.

Mutant FUS triggers age-dependent synaptic impairment in presymptomatic ALS-FUS mice (RNA-seq part2)

Project description:FUS is a primarily nuclear RNA-binding protein with important roles in RNA processing and transport. FUS mutations disrupting its nuclear localization characterize a subset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS-FUS) patients, through an unidentified pathological mechanism. FUS regulates nuclear RNA, but its role at the synapse is poorly understood. Here, we used super-resolution imaging to determine the physiological localization of extranuclear, neuronal FUS and found it predominantly near the vesicle reserve pool of presynaptic sites. Using CLIP-seq on synaptoneurosome preparations, we identified synaptic RNA targets of FUS that are associated with synapse organization and plasticity. Synaptic FUS was significantly increased in a knock-in mouse model of ALS-FUS, at presymptomatic stages. Despite apparently unaltered synaptic organization, RNA-seq of synaptoneurosomes highlighted age-dependent dysregulation of glutamatergic and GABAergic synapses. Our study indicates that FUS relocalization to the synapse in early stages of ALS-FUS results in synaptic impairment, potentially representing an initial trigger of neurodegeneration.

Abnormalities in Prefrontal Cortical Gene Expression Profiles Relevant to Schizophrenia in MK801-Exposed C57BL/6 Mice.

Project description:MK-801, a non-competitive NMDA receptor (NMDAR) antagonist, disturbs NMDAR function in rodents and induces psychological and behavioral changes similar to schizophrenia(SCZ). However, the effects of MK-801 treatment on gene expression in prefrontal cortex (PFC) are largely unknown. We have established MK-801 animal models to explore the etiology and pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Transcriptome analysis of the prefrontal cortex reveals that the differentially expressed genes mainly aggregate in chemical synaptic transmission and immune system process. Gene association patterns which are involved in synaptic vesicle cycle and mitochondrial electron transport chain have also been altered. Together, these observations underscore that dysfunction in glutamatergic synaptic vesicle cycle and mitochondrial electron transport chain has an impact on the pathogenesis of SCZ.

Transcriptional dysregulation of synaptic genes in a human iPSC model of major mental disorders

Project description:Schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders are postulated to be developmental disorders resulting from synapse dysfunction. How susceptibility genes for major mental disorders could lead to synaptic deficits in humans is not well-understood. Here we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from four members of a family in which a frame-shift mutation of Disrupted-in-schizophrenia-1 (DISC1) co-segregated with psychiatric disorders and further produced different isogenic iPSC lines via genetic editing. We showed that mutant DISC1 causes synaptic vesicle release deficits in iPSC-derived forebrain neurons. Mechanistically, mutant DISC1 dysregulates the expression of many genes related to synapses and psychiatric disorders and depletes wild-type DISC1 and the NCoR1 transcription co-repressor complex. Furthermore, mechanism-guided pharmacological inhibition of phosphodiesterases rescues synaptic defects in mutant neurons. Our study uncovers a novel gain-of-function mechanism through which the psychiatric disorder-relevant mutation affects synaptic functions via transcriptional dysregulation and provides insight into the molecular and synaptic etiopathology of psychiatric disorders. Two patient derived iPSC lines carrying heterozygous 4bp deletion in DISC1 gene and 1 related control were analyzed in biological triplicate

Refinement of synapses without postsynaptic activity: Role for a 4E-BP dependent mechanism

Project description:Refinement of synaptic connections during development requires both the elimination of some inputs and the strengthening of others. It is well accepted that this competitive process takes place throughout the nervous system and relies on synaptic activity. However, the mechanisms that link activity to refinement remain largely unresolved. Here we demonstrate that refinement of preganglionic axons in sympathetic ganglia, a process that depends unequivocally on synaptic activity, involves eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding protein (4E-BP), a protein that regulates cap-dependent translation. In mice lacking the 3 nicotinic receptor subunit, silent synapses between preganglionic axons and postsynaptic nicotinic neurons do not refine unless synaptic activity is restored, or surprisingly, when 4E-BP is absent. Our findings demonstrate that synapses can refine in the absence of synaptic activity during development and identify 4E-BP as a critical player in this process.

VAP spatially stabilizes dendritic mitochondria to locally support synaptic plasticity

Project description:Synapses are pivotal sites of plasticity and memory formation. Consequently, synapses are energy consumption hotspots susceptible to dysfunction when their energy supplies are perturbed. Mitochondria are stabilized near synapses via the cytoskeleton and provide the local energy required for synaptic plasticity. However, the mechanisms that tether and stabilize mitochondria to support synaptic plasticity are unknown. We identified proteins exclusively tethering mitochondria to actin near postsynaptic spines. We find that VAP, the vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, stabilizes mitochondria via actin near the spines. To test if the VAP-dependent stable mitochondrial compartments can locally support synaptic plasticity, we used two-photon glutamate uncaging for spine plasticity induction and investigated the induced and adjacent uninduced spines. We find VAP functions as a spatial stabilizer of mitochondrial compartments for up to ~60 min and as a spatial ruler determining the ~30 m dendritic segment supported during synaptic plasticity.

Synaptosome RNA and bulk RNA sequencing of Alzheimer's disease and control mouse frontal cortex tissue

Project description:We measured RNA synaptic localization differences in human AD patient samples. We performed RNA sequencing to identify mislocalized coding and non-coding RNAs and contrasted findings with global expression differences in human frontal and temporal lobe tissue as well as an APP/PSEN1 AD mouse model. We discovered significant mRNA localization differences in AD tissue including upregulation of genes related to cell differentiation and adhesion, and downregulation of genes related to cellular component organization ion transport. In addition, we identified major differences among circular RNAs (circRNAs) localized to synapses. Among our data, we discovered two unique isoforms of circGSK3β that are differentially expressed in AD. Furthermore, we found that expression of these distinct isoforms affects tau phosphorylation in neural cell culture. These discoveries substantiate the importance of circRNAs in the brain and in neurodegenerative disease. Identifying differences in synaptic-localized mRNAs and circRNAs opens new avenues to understanding AD synaptic pathology and identifying potential therapeutic targets.

Neuronal γ-secretase regulates lipid metabolism, linking cholesterol to synaptic dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease

Project description:Presenilin mutations that alter γ-secretase activity cause familial Alzheimer's disease (AD), whereas ApoE4, an apolipoprotein for cholesterol transport, predisposes to sporadic AD. Both sporadic and familial AD feature synaptic dysfunction. Whether γ-secretase is involved in cholesterol metabolism and whether such involvement impacts synaptic function remains unknown. Here, we show that in human neurons, chronic pharmacological or genetic suppression of γ-secretase increases synapse numbers but decreases synaptic transmission by lowering the presynaptic release probability without altering dendritic or axonal arborizations. In search of a mechanism underlying these synaptic impairments, we discovered that chronic γ-secretase suppression robustly decreases cholesterol levels in neurons but not in glia, which in turn stimulates neuron-specific cholesterol-synthesis gene expression. Suppression of cholesterol levels by HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) impaired synaptic function similar to γ-secretase inhibition. Thus, γ-secretase enables synaptic function by maintaining cholesterol levels, whereas the chronic suppression of γ-secretase impairs synapses by lowering cholesterol levels.
