Activation of polo-like kinase 1 correlates with selective motor neuron vulnerability in familial ALS

Project description:Mutations in the Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) gene cause familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), characterized by selective degeneration of spinal motor neurons (sMNs) with relative sparing of cortical neurons (CNs). The mechanisms underlying this cell-type vulnerability remain unclear. Here, we compare CNs and sMNs derived from FUS-ALS models to assess differential responses to FUS mutations. We find that CNs are less affected than sMNs in DNA damage repair, axonal organelle trafficking, and stress granule dynamics. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) reveals distinct transcriptomic signatures, with sMNs uniquely activating DNA damage responses involving cell cycle regulators, particularly polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1). PLK1 is highly expressed in sMNs but not CNs, correlating with greater nuclear FUS loss and splicing defects in sMNs. Cross-comparison with other familial ALS RNA-seq datasets highlights PLK1 upregulation as a shared molecular feature. These findings identify intrinsic differences between CNs and sMNs in FUS-ALS and suggest PLK1 as a potential driver of sMN vulnerability.

Identifying convergent pathomechanisms in ALS using hiPSC-derived motor neurons

Project description:Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease mainly affecting upper and lower motoneurons (MNs). In the last decades, several genes have been associated to the familial form of this disorder (fALS), thus depicting an extremely complex pathogenic landscape. The aim of this study was to identify convergent molecular underpinnings shared by ALS cases characterized by mutations in different genes using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs).

The Loss of TBK1 Kinase Activity in Motor Neurons or in All Cell Types Differentially Impacts ALS Disease Progression in SOD1 Mice

Project description:DNA sequence variants in the TBK1 gene associate with or cause sporadic or familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here we show that mice bearing human ALS-associated TBK1 missense loss-of-function mutations, or mice in which the Tbk1 gene is selectively deleted in motor neurons, do not display a neurodegenerative disease phenotype. However, loss of TBK1 function in motor neurons of the SOD1G93A mouse model of ALS impairs autophagy, increases SOD1 aggregation, and accelerates early disease onset without affecting lifespan. By contrast, point mutations that decrease TBK1 kinase activity in all cells also accelerate disease onset but extend the lifespan of SOD1 mice. This difference correlates with the failure to activate high levels of expression of interferon-inducible genes in glia. We conclude that loss of TBK1 kinase activity impacts ALS disease progression through distinct pathways in different spinal cord cell types and further implicate the importance of glia in neurodegeneration.

The Motor Neuron m6A Repertoire Governs Neuronal Homeostasis and Augmented m6A Production Mitigates ALS Symptom Manifestation [snMultiome-seq]

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a swiftly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative ailment marked by the degenerative motor neurons (MNs). Why MNs are specifically susceptible in predominantly sporadic cases remains enigmatic. Here, we demonstrated N6-methyladenosine (m6A), an RNA modification catalyzed by the METTL3/METTL14 methyltransferase complex, as a pivotal contributor to ALS pathogenesis. By conditional knockout Mettl14 in murine MNs, we recapitulate almost the full spectrum of ALS disease characteristics. Mechanistically, pervasive m6A hypomethylation triggers dysregulated expression of high-risk genes associated with ALS and an unforeseen reduction of chromatin accessibility in MNs. Additionally, we observed diminished m6A levels in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived MNs from familial and sporadic ALS patients. Restoring m6A equilibrium via a small molecule or gene therapy significantly preserves MNs from degeneration and mitigates motor impairments in ALS iPSC-derived MNs and murine models. Our study presents a substantial stride towards identifying pioneering efficacious ALS therapies via RNA modifications.

Transcriptome profiling of SOD1 mutant ALS model motor neurons.

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. RNA-Seq of laser microdissection of motor neuron bodies from two biological replicates each of SOD1 YFP (wildtype 592) and SOD1 G85R YFP (737) transgenic mice.
