GRASPing experience-dependent protein expression signatures enriched for hippocampal engram cell synapses

ABSTRACT: Enhanced synaptic wiring onto sparsely distributed memory engram cells supports contextual memory storage and recall, with negative-valence memories exhibiting greater salience. Protein-level adaptations of input-specific synaptic connectivity onto hippocampal CA1 engram cells, however, remains largely unexplored. By combining spatiotemporally restricted synapse labelling, sorting, and mass spectrometry, we generated a discovery-oriented proteomic dataset from samples enriched for CA1 engram cell synapses receiving CA3 input 72 h after neutral context exploration or aversive contextual fear conditioning. Differential analysis relative to an unlabelled comparator identified protein expression signatures associated with synapse structure, efficacy, and strength in CA1 engram cell synapses. Aversive learning induced predominantly postsynaptic protein expression patterns, whereas neutral context skewed towards presynaptic changes. This differential engram cell synapse proteome was enriched for genes linked to cognitive genetic traits and related disorders. Together, these data provide a first hypothesis-generating resource for investigations into the molecular basis of contextual memory at the level of the synapse.

Human brain prefrontal cortex proteomics identifies compromised energy metabolism and neuronal function in Schizophrenia

Project description:Understanding the pathophysiological substrates of schizophrenia is a major challenge for current neuropsychiatric research. As part of a set of multi-omics experiments, we performed an extensive case-control proteomics study on 192 post-mortem tissue sections from prefrontal cortex from 96 individuals, including 47 cases with schizophrenia and 49 healthy controls. Using two independently measured cortical datasets, we identified 387 proteins differentially expressed between schizophrenia cases and controls at a 5% FDR threshold. This significantly regulated set of proteins contains genes located in GWAS-identified schizophrenia loci and proteins identified by pQTL analysis. Gene ontology analysis using GOAT provided evidence for regulation of several major protein categories, emphasizing downregulation of mitochondrial oxidative respiration, ribosomes and the proteasome, upregulation of kinases and (small) GTPases. SynGO analysis supports the notion of synaptic dysfunction in schizophrenia, with major regulators of pre- and postsynaptic function compromised. Our findings highlight the complex molecular dysregulation in schizophrenia, with mitochondrial function downregulated versus signaling and trafficking upregulated, and synapse function disrupted; in combination with prior avenues of research, these finding support a role for energy deficits compromising highly ATP dependent neuronal function as a target for therapeutic interventions.

Synaptically recruited lncRNA SLAMR facilitates structural plasticity in fear memory consolidation by modulatin translation

Project description:LncRNAs are involved in critical processes for cell homeostasis and function. However, it remains largely unknown whether and how the transcriptional regulation of long noncoding RNAs results in activity-dependent changes at the synapse and facilitate formation of long-term memories. Here, we report the identification of a novel lncRNA, SLAMR, that becomes enriched in CA1- but not in CA3-hippocampal neurons upon contextual fear conditioning. SLAMR is transported to dendrites via the molecular motor KIF5C and recruited to the synapse in response to stimulation. Loss of function of SLAMR reduced dendritic complexity and impaired activity-dependent changes in spine structural plasticity. Interestingly, the gain of function of SLAMR enhanced dendritic complexity, and spine density through enhanced translation. Analyses of the SLAMR interactome revealed its association with CaMKIIa protein through a 220-nucleotide element and its modulation of CaMKIIa activity. Furthermore, loss-of-function of SLAMR in CA1 selectively impairs consolidation but neither acquisition, recall, nor extinction of fear memory and spatial memory. Together, these results establish a new mechanism for activity dependent changes at the synapse and consolidation of contextual fear memory.

SFRP1 upregulation causes hippocampal synaptic dysfunction and memory impairment

Project description:Impaired neuronal and synaptic function are hallmarks of early stages Alzheimer's disease (AD) and are linked to cognitive decline, preceding other neuropathological traits. We have previously shown that SFRP1, a glial-derived protein elevated in the brains of AD patients from preclinical stages, contributes to AD progression, suggesting that glial factors may be important for early pathogenesis. Here, we have analyzed the hippocampus of newly generated transgenic mice overexpressing SFRP1 in astrocytes. We show that SFRP1 accumulation causes early dendritic and synaptic structural defects in adult mice. These changes are followed by poor synaptic long-term potentiation and cognitive impairment, evident only when the animals age, thereby mimicking the structural-functional temporal distinction observed in AD patients. These phenotypic traits are associated with an array of proteomic changes, including increased content of structural synaptic proteins, such as neurexin, which localizes in close proximity to SFRP1 along the processes of cultured hippocampal neurons. We conclude that excessive SFRP1 prevents the turnover of structural synaptic molecules, thereby reducing synaptic plasticity —a mechanism that may mirror the synaptopathy observed in the brains of prodromal AD patients.

Proteomics of the temporal cortex in Semantic Dementia reveals brain-region specific molecular pathology and regulation of the TDP-43-ANXA11 interactome

Project description:Semantic dementia (SD) is a clinical subtype of frontotemporal dementia characterized by impaired word comprehension and semantic memory, and occurs nearly always sporadically. Neuroimaging typically reveals asymmetric, predominantly left-sided, atrophy of the anterior temporal pole, anterior fusiform gyrus, and the hippocampus. Post-mortem pathological examination shows frontotemporal lobar degeneration TDP type C, characterized by long dystrophic neurites in the temporal cortex and typical round, TDP-43-positive neuronal inclusions in the dentate gyrus. While neuronal loss in the temporal cortex is severe in the end stage of disease, the dentate gyrus seems relatively spared. This characteristic and well-defined disease profile suggests SD patients share a specific underlying disease biology. Recently, we performed the first quantitative proteomic study of the dentate gyrus, uncovering potential SD-specific biological pathways. Here, we report on the first quantitative proteomic study of the temporal cortex in SD. We studied the same patient and non-demented control cohort, enabling comparative analysis between the two brain regions. In addition, we compared our dataset with other frontotemporal lobar degeneration subtypes and Alzheimer’s disease to separate SD disease-specific changes from common neurodegenerative processes. In the temporal cortex, involvement of the ribonucleoprotein complex and presynaptic regulation of cytosolic calcium levels by voltage-gated calcium channels appear unique facets of the SD disease process. Furthermore, we observed a striking difference in the abundance of neuropathological proteins TDP-43 and ANXA11, and their interactors between the temporal cortex and dentate gyrus. The elucidation of these potentially unique disease-specific mechanisms improves our understanding of the pathophysiological processes in SD and paves the way for the discovery of novel therapeutic targets.

Talin force coupling underlies eukaryotic cell-substrate adhesion

Project description:Integrin-mediated cell adhesion and mechanotransduction are considered key innovations in animal evolution, enabling a specific and physically robust attachment of cells to the extracellular environment. Here, we show that this type of cell adhesion is a specification of an evolutionary conserved force coupling mechanism that originated in unicellular organisms and is mediated by the actin-binding protein talin. Unlike heterodimeric integrin receptors, talin is widely distributed in unicellular organisms, including amoebae. By comparing piconewton-scale mechanics of talin-A from amoeboid cells with that of mammalian talin-1, we uncover a conserved role of talin as a force transducer, transmitting mechanical forces of 6–8 pN into cells, even in unicellular organisms lacking integrin receptors. Our data show that the critical evolutionary steps towards integrin-mediated cell adhesion were the specification of talin as an adaptor protein allowing activation of integrin receptors, regulation of biochemical signalling via paxillin, FAK and YAP, and control of cell adhesion turnover by KANK recruitment. Collectively, our experiments identify a pivotal yet hitherto underappreciated role for talin in the evolution of eukaryotic cell-substrate adhesion and mechanotransduction.

T-cell derived exosomes released from Multi-Core Granules exhibit potent caspase 3 mediated tumor suppressive activity ( Part II)

Project description:Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) derived from cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are emerging as potential mediators of antitumor immunity, yet their subcellular origins and functional properties remain incompletely defined. In this study, we investigated the intracellular routes and cytotoxic potential of CTL-derived sEVs. Using correlative light and electron microscopy, we discovered that CTL-derived sEVs are exosomes, as they originate from both the classical multivesicular bodies (MVBs) and the recently identified multicore granules (MCGs). Applying total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, we revealed that, in contrast to MVB-derived exosomes, MCG-derived exosomes are released at the immunological synapse in a stimulus-dependent manner. To enable functional characterization, we developed a scalable primary cell culture method for the isolation of high-purity exosomes. Super-resolution microscopy demonstrated significant heterogeneity in exosome size and tetraspanin composition. Notably, MCG-derived exosomes demonstrated five times higher cytotoxic activity than MVB-derived exosomes, inducing apoptosis in tumor cells via a caspase-3-dependent mechanism. These findings reveal that CTLs exploit distinct secretory pathways to release heterogeneous exosome populations with differential cytotoxic capacities, offering new insights into CTL-mediated immune responses and providing a basis for the development of novel exosome-based immunotherapies

ROS are evolutionary conserved cell-to-cell stress signals

Project description:Cell-to-cell communication is fundamental to multicellular organisms and unicellular organisms living in a microbiome. It is thought to have evolved as a stress- or quorum-sensing mechanism in unicellular organisms. A unique cell-to-cell communication mechanism that uses reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a signal (termed the ‘ROS wave’) was identified in flowering plants. This process is essential for systemic signaling and plant acclimation to stress and can spread from a small group of cells to the entire plant within minutes. Whether a similar signaling process is found in other organisms is however unknown. Here we report that the ROS wave can be found in unicellular algae, amoeba, ferns, mosses, mammalian cells, and isolated hearts. We further show that this process can be triggered in unicellular and multicellular organisms by a local stress or H2O2 treatment and blocked by the application of catalase or NADPH oxidase inhibitors, and that in unicellular algae it communicates important stress-response signals between cells. Taken together, our findings suggest that an active process of cell-to-cell ROS signaling, like the ROS wave, evolved before unicellular and multicellular organisms diverged. This mechanism could have communicated an environmental stress signal between cells and coordinated the acclimation response of many different cells living in a community. The finding of a signaling process, like the ROS wave, in mammalian cells further contributes to our understanding of different diseases and could impact the development of new drugs that target for example cancer or heart disease.

Comparative DDA and DIA-PASEF proteomics profiling of cross-kingdom macrophage infection reveals new mechanisms driving pathogen virulence

Project description:Opportunistic infections of the respiratory tract often succeed under a weakened immune response caused by an underlying illness or hospitalization. The human fungal pathogen, Cryptococcus neoformans, and the bacterial pathogen, Klebsiella pneumoniae, are both well-characterized microbes that cause severe infections within immunocompromised individuals. In this study, we simulate a concentration-dependent pulmonary coinfection of a bacterial and fungal pathogen, and profile the proteomic changes by DDA vs. DIA. Dual perspective profiling provides new insights into host defense regulation of infection and pathogenic mechanisms of invasion.
