Project description:The TMEM106B gene, encoding a lysosomal membrane protein, is closely linked with brain aging and neurodegeneration. TMEM106B has been identified as a risk factor for several neurodegenerative diseases characterized by aggregation of the RNA-binding protein TDP-43, including frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE). To investigate the role of TMEM106B in TDP-43 proteinopathy, we ablated TMEM106B in the TDP-43Q331K knock-in mouse line, which expresses an ALS-linked TDP-43 mutation at endogenous levels. We found that TMEM106B deficiency leads to glial activation, Purkinje cell loss, and behavioral deficits in TDP-43Q331K mice without inducing typical TDP-43 pathology. Interestingly, ablation of TMEM106B results in significant body weight gain, increased fat deposition, and hepatic triglyceride (TG) accumulation in TDP-43Q331K mice. In addition, lipidomic and transcriptome analysis shows a profound alteration in lipid metabolism in the liver of TDP-43Q331KTmem106b-/- mice. Our studies reveal a novel function of TMEM106B and TDP-43 in lipid metabolism and provide new insights into their roles in neurodegeneration.

Project description:Genetic variants that define two distinct haplotypes at the TMEM106B locus have been implicated in multiple neurodegenerative diseases and in healthy brain aging. In frontotemporal dementia (FTD), the high expressing TMEM106B risk haplotype was shown to increase susceptibility for FTD with TDP-43 inclusions (FTD-TDP) and to modify disease penetrance in progranulin mutation carriers (FTD-GRN). To further elucidate the biological function of TMEM106B and determine whether lowering TMEM106B may be a viable therapeutic strategy, we performed brain transcriptomic analyses in 8-month-old animals from our recently developed Tmem106b-/- mouse model. We included 10 Tmem106b+/+ (WT), 10 Tmem106b+/- and 10 Tmem106-/- mice. The most differentially expressed genes (153 down-regulated and 60 upregulated) were identified between Tmem106b-/- and WT animals, with an enrichment for genes implicated in myelination-related cellular processes including axon ensheathment and oligodendrocyte differentiation. Co-expression analysis also revealed that the most downregulated group of correlated genes was enriched for myelination-related processes. We further detected a significant loss of Olig2-positive cells in the corpus callosum of Tmem106b-/- mice, which was present already in young animals (21 days) and persisted until old age (23 months), without worsening. qPCR revealed a reduction of differentiated but not undifferentiated oligodendrocytes cellular markers. While no obvious changes in myelin were observed at the ultrastructure levels in unchallenged animals, treatment with cuprizone revealed that Tmem106b-/- mice are more susceptible to cuprizone-induced de-myelination and have a reduced capacity to re-myelinate, a finding which we were able to replicate in a newly generated Tmem106b CRISPR/cas9 knock-out mouse model. Finally, using a TMEM106B HeLa knock-out cell line, we determined that loss of TMEM106B leads to abnormalities in the distribution of lysosomes and PLP1 trafficking but not to differences in MOG trafficking which is lysosome-independent. Together these findings reveal an important function for TMEM106B in myelination with possible consequences for therapeutic strategies aimed at lowering TMEM106B levels.

Project description:FTLD is the third most common neurodegenerative condition, following only Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. FTLD typically presents in 45-64-year-olds with behavioral changes or progressive decline of language skills. The subtype FTLD-TDP is characterized by certain clinical symptoms and pathological neuronal inclusions detected by TDP-43 immunoreactivity. Here, we extracted amyloid fibrils from brains of four patients, representing four out of five FTLD-TDP subclasses and determined their near-atomic resolution structures by cryo-EM. Unexpectedly, all amyloid fibrils examined are composed of a 135-residue C-terminal fragment of TMEM106B, a lysosomal membrane protein previously implicated as a genetic risk factor for FTLD-TDP. In addition to TMEM106B fibrils, abundant non-fibrillar aggregated TDP-43 is present, as revealed by immunogold labeling. Our observations confirm that FTLD-TDP is an amyloid-involved disease and suggest that amyloid involvement in FTLD-TDP is of protein TMEM106B, rather than of TDP-43.

Project description:Polygenic risk factors influence onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, but are difficult to be functionally explored in isolation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TMEM106B increase the risk for frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) of GRN mutation carriers. Currently, it is not clear if progranulin (PGRN) and TMEM106B are synergistically linked and if a gain or a loss-of-function of TMEM106B is responsible for the increased disease risk of patients with PGRN haploinsufficiency. We therefore compared behavioral abnormalities, gene expression patterns, lysosomal activity and TDP-43 pathology in single and double knockout animals. Grn–/–/Tmem106b–/– mice showed a strongly reduced life span and massive motor deficits. Gene expression analysis revealed an upregulation of molecular signatures characteristic for disease associated microglia and autophagy. Dysregulation of maturation of lysosomal proteins as well as a pronounced accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins and wide spread p62 deposition suggest that proteostasis is impaired. Moreover, while single Grn–/– knockouts only occasionally showed TDP-43 pathology, the double knockout mice exhibit robust deposition of phosphorylated TDP-43. Thus, a loss-of-function of TMEM106B may enhance the risk for GRN-associated FTD by reduced protein turnover in the lysosomal/autophagic system.

Project description:Heterozygous mutations in the granulin (GRN) gene result in haploinsufficiency of the progranulin (PGRN) protein, a leading cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 aggregates (FTLD-TDP). Polymorphisms in the TMEM106B gene have been associated with disease risk in GRN mutation carriers and protective TMEM106B variants are associated with reduced levels of TMEM106B, suggesting that lowering TMEM106B might be therapeutic in the context of FTLD. Here we tested the impact of full deletion and partial reduction of TMEM106B in mouse and iPSC-derived human cell models of GRN deficiency. In vitro, TMEM106B deletion did not reverse transcriptomic and proteomic profiles in GRN-deficient microglia, with the exception of a small set of immune-related proteins in the NF-κB pathway. In vivo, neither homozygous nor heterozygous Tmem106b deletion normalized disease-associated gene expression in sorted microglia, lipid abnormalities, or histopathology in Grn knock-out mice. Furthermore, Tmem106b reduction with antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) treatment was poorly tolerated in Grn knock-out mice. These data provide novel insight into TMEM106B and GRN function in microglia cells but do not support lowering TMEM106B levels as a viable therapeutic strategy for treating FTLD-GRN.
