Proteomic analysis of whole brains from Ndufs4-/- mice treated with doxycycline

ABSTRACT: Mice with mitochondrial complex I deficiency (Ndufs4-/-) suffer from severe energy impairment primarily affecting the brain and die at P55. A small molecule screen developed by our lab using cells harboring human mitochondrial disease mutations identified antibiotics targeting mitochondrial translation as potent inhibitors of cell death under nutrient stress conditions. Doxycycline, which was identified amongst these antibiotics, was administered in the diet of Ndufs4-/- mice after weaning at P21. Mice fed with doxycycline showed improved motor function and significantly increased lifespan relative to untreated Ndufs4-/- mice. In order to investigate the molecular changes promoted by doxycycline in the brains of these mice, Ndufs4-/- doxycycline treated (DOX), Ndufs4-/- untreated (KO), and Ndufs4+/+ (WT) control mice were sacrificed at P55 and their brains harvested. Proteomic analysis revealed doxycycline treatment largely prevented the neuroimmune and inflammatory profile identified in the Ndufs4-/- mice. These findings implicate a potentially causality of these proteins in the neuronal cell death ultimately leading to the observed brain pathology.

Mitochondrial diseases (MDs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders resulting from mutations in nuclear or mitochondrial DNA genes encoding mitochondrial proteins1,2. MDs cause pathologies with severe tissue damage and ultimately death3,4. There are no cures for MDs and current treatments are only palliative5-7. Here we show that tetracyclines improve fitness of cultured MD cells and ameliorate disease in a mouse model of Leigh syndrome. To identify small molecul ...[more]

Project description:Microglia are innate immune cells of the brain that perform phagocytic and inflammatory functions in disease conditions. Transcriptomic studies of acutely-isolated microglia have provided novel insights into their molecular and functional diversity in homeostatic and neurodegenerative disease states. State-of-the-art mass spectrometric methods can comprehensively characterize proteomic alterations in microglia in neurodegenerative disorders, potentially providing novel functionally-relevant molecular insights that are not provided by transcriptomics. However, proteomic profiling of adult primary microglia in neurodegenerative disease conditions has not been performed. We performed quantitative proteomic analyses of purified CD11b+ acutely-isolated microglia adult mice in normal, acute neuroinflammatory (LPS-treatment) and chronic neurodegenerative states (5xFAD model of Alzheimer’s disease [AD]) using tandem mass tag mass spectrometry. Differential expression analyses were performed to characterize specific microglial proteomic changes in 5xFAD mice and identify overlap with LPS-induced pro-inflammatory changes. Our results were also contrasted with existing proteomic data from wild-type mouse microglia and from existing microglial transcriptomic data from wild-type and 5xFAD mice. Neuropathological validation studies of select proteins were performed in human AD and 5xFAD brains. Of 4,133 proteins identified, 187 microglial proteins were differentially expressed in the 5xFAD mouse model of AD pathology, including proteins with previously known (Apoe, Clu and Htra1) as well as previously unreported relevance to AD biology (Cotl1 and Hexb). Proteins upregulated in 5xFAD microglia shared significant overlap with pro-inflammatory changes observed in LPS-treated mice. Several proteins increased in human AD brain were also upregulated by 5xFAD microglia (Aβ peptide, Apoe, Htra1, Cotl1 and Clu). Cotl1 was identified as a novel microglia-specific marker with increased expression and strong association with AD neuropathology. Apoe protein was also detected within plaque-associated microglia in which Apoe and Aβ were highly co-localized suggesting a role for Apoe in phagocytic clearance of Aβ. We report the first comprehensive comparative proteomic study of adult mouse microglia derived from acute neuroinflammatory and AD models, representing a valuable resource to the neuroscience research community. We highlight shared and unique microglial proteomic changes in acute neuroinflammatory, aging and AD mouse models in addition to identifying novel roles for microglial proteins in human neurodegeneration.
