Lipidomic analysis of human brain from frontotemporal dementia cases of with GRN and C9orf72 mutations

ABSTRACT: Lipidomic analysis carried out on postmortem human brain tissue from cases with FTD carrying inherited mutations in the GRN gene, or repeat expansions in the C9orf72 gene, and age-matched control cases. Tissue was sampled from the heavily affected superior frontal grey and white matter, and less heavily affected superior parietal grey and white matter.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system characterized by increased inflammation and immune responses, oxidative injury, mitochondrial dysfunction, and iron dyshomeostasis leading to demyelination and axonal damage. In MS, incomplete remyelination results in chronically demyelinated axons and degeneration coinciding with disability. This suggests a failure in the ability to remyelinate in MS, however, the precise underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to identify proteins whose expression was altered in chronic inactive white matter lesions and periplaque white matter in MS tissue to reveal potential pathogenic mechanisms. Laser capture microdissection coupled to proteomics was used to interrogate spatially preserved changes in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded brain tissue from chronic MS individuals and controls with no apparent neurological complications. Histopathological maps guided the capture of inactive lesions, periplaque white matter, and cortex from chronic MS individuals along with corresponding white matter and cortex from control tissue. Label free quantitation by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was used to discover differentially expressed proteins between the various brain regions. In addition to confirming loss of several myelin-associated proteins known to be affected in MS, proteomics analysis of chronic inactive MS lesions revealed alterations in myelin assembly, metabolism, and cytoskeletal organization. Notably, a subset of proteins that were altered in MS white matter indicate altered lipid metabolism. Our findings highlight proteome changes in chronic inactive MS white matter lesions and periplaque white matter, which may be crucial for proper myelinogenesis, bioenergetics, focal adhesions, and cellular function. These findings highlight the importance and feasibility of spatial approaches such as laser capture microdissection-based proteomics analysis of pathologically distinct regions of MS brain tissue. Identification of spatially resolved changes in the proteome of MS brain tissue should aid in the understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms and the development of novel therapies.
