Project description:A growing body of knowledge implicates perturbed RNA homeostasis in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease that currently has no cure and few available treatments. Dysregulation of the multifunctional RNA-binding protein TDP-43 is increasingly regarded as a convergent feature of this disease, evidenced at the neuropathological level by the detection of TDP-43 pathology in most patient tissues, and at the genetic level by the identification of disease-associated mutations in its coding gene TARDBP. To characterize the transcriptional landscape induced by TARDBP mutations, we performed whole-transcriptome profiling of motor neurons differentiated from two knock-in iPSC lines expressing the ALS-linked TDP-43 variants p.A382T or p.G348C. Our results show that the TARDBP mutations significantly altered the expression profiles of mRNAs and microRNAs of the 14q32 cluster in MNs. Using mutation-induced gene signatures and the Connectivity Map database, we identified compounds predicted to restore gene expression toward wild-type levels. Among top-scoring compounds selected for further investigation, the NEDD8-activating enzyme inhibitor MLN4924 effectively improved cell viability and neuronal activity, highlighting a possible role for protein post-translational modification via NEDDylation in the pathobiology of TDP-43 in ALS.

Project description:TDP-43 is the major component of pathological inclusions in most ALS patients and in up to 50% of patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Heterozygous missense mutations in TARDBP, the gene encoding TDP-43, are one of the common causes of familial ALS. In this study, we investigate TDP-43 protein behavior in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons from three ALS patients with different TARDBP mutations and three healthy controls. TARDPB mutations induce several TDP-43 changes in spinal motor neurons, including cytoplasmic mislocalization and accumulation of insoluble TDP-43, C-terminal fragments and phospho-TDP-43. By generating iPSC lines with allele-specific tagging of TDP-43, we find that mutant TDP-43 initiates the observed disease phenotypes and has an altered interactome as indicated by mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Our findings also indicate that TDP-43 proteinopathy results in a defect in mitochondrial transport. Lastly, proteomics analyses also show that pharmacological inhibition of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) restores the observed TDP-43 pathologies and the axonal mitochondrial motility, suggesting that HDAC6 inhibition may be an interesting therapeutic target for neurodegenerative disorders linked to TDP-43 pathology.

Project description:Aims: Loss of nuclear TDP-43 characterises sporadic and most familial forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). TDP-43 (encoded by TARDBP) has multiple roles in RNA processing. We aimed to determine whether 1) RNA splicing dysregulation is present in lower motor neurons in ALS and in a motor neuron-like cell model, and 2) TARDBP mutations (mtTARDBP) are associated with aberrant RNA splicing using patient-derived fibroblasts. Methods: Affymetrix exon arrays were used to study mRNA expression and splicing in lower motor neurons obtained by laser capture microdissection of autopsy tissue from individuals with sporadic ALS and TDP-43 proteinopathy. Findings were confirmed by qRT-PCR and in NSC34 motor neuronal cells following shRNA-mediated TDP-43 depletion. Exon arrays and immunohistochemistry were used to study mRNA splicing and TDP-43 expression in fibroblasts from patients with mtTARDBP-associated, sporadic and mutant SOD1-associated ALS. Results: We found altered expression of spliceosome components in motor neurons and widespread aberrations of mRNA splicing that specifically affected genes involved in ribonucleotide binding. This was confirmed in TDP-43 depleted NSC34 cells. Fibroblasts with mtTARDBP showed loss of nuclear TDP-43 protein and demonstrated similar changes in splicing and gene expression, that were not present in fibroblasts from patients with sporadic or SOD1-related ALS. Conclusion: Loss of nuclear TDP-43 is associated with RNA processing abnormalities in ALS motor neurons, patient-derived cells with mtTARDBP, and following artificial TDP-43 depletion, suggesting that splicing dysregulation directly contributes to disease pathogenesis. Key functional pathways affected include those central to RNA metabolism. RNA was extracted from fibroblasts grown from neurologically healthy controls (n=6) and 3 groups of patients with ALS: 1) sporadic cases (n=6); 2) cases due to mutations of SOD1 (n=4); 3) cases due to mutations of TARDBP (n=3). The three ALS groups were compared to the controls.
