Distinct microRNA signatures define sporadic PSP-RS and PD in patient-derived midbrain organoids

Project description:Progressive Supranuclear Palsy–Richardson Syndrome (PSP-RS) is a rare, rapidly progressive neurodegenerative tauopathy frequently misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s Disease (PD) due to overlapping clinical features. The lack of reliable molecular biomarkers for early and differential diagnosis presents a major clinical challenge. To address this, we developed human midbrain organoids from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from patients with sporadic PSP-RS, PD, and healthy controls (HCs), and profiled microRNA (miRNA) expression dynamics using small RNA sequencing. These 3D organoid models faithfully recapitulate key pathological hallmarks, including tau hyperphosphorylation in PSP-RS and Lewy body–like α-synuclein inclusions in PD. Our analysis revealed temporally dynamic, disease-specific miRNA signatures: miR-5683, miR-873-5p, miR-219b-5p, and miR-219a-2- 3p were selectively upregulated in PSP-RS, whereas PD organoids showed increased levels of miR-1-3p, miR-133b, miR-10b-5p, and miR-199a-5p. Additionally, miR-5683, miR-3085- 3p, miR-138-2-3p, and miR-124-3p emerged as key discriminators between PSP-RS and HCs. These findings highlight the utility of iPSC-derived midbrain organoids as a translationally relevant platform to uncover disease-specific regulatory networks and identify candidate miRNA biomarkers for atypical parkinsonian syndromes.

Autophagy enhancement ameliorates tau burden and neurofilament pathology in sporadic PSP-RS neurons

Project description:Progressive supranuclear palsy, Richardson’s syndrome subtype (PSP-RS), is a tauopathy marked by early axonal pathology and neurodegeneration. Modeling sporadic PSP-RS in human neurons remained a major challenge. Here, we generated midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from idiopathic PSP-RS patients and healthy controls. Combined transcriptomic and proteomic analysis revealed reduced dopaminergic differentiation and synaptic function, alongside increased phosphorylated and oligomeric Tau, neurofilament accumulation, axonal swelling, and endoplasmic reticulum disorganization. These alterations coincided with impaired autophagic flux and elevated levels of phosphorylated mTOR. Pharmacological inhibition of mTOR restored autophagy and reduced neurofilament and tau pathology. Collectively, our findings implicate mTOR-dependent autophagy dysfunction as a key driver of early axonal pathology of PSP-RS and highlight autophagy modulation as a promising therapeutic avenue.

Modelling G2019S-LRRK2 sporadic Parkinson’s disease in 3D midbrain organoids

Project description:Recent advances in generating 3 dimensional (3D) organoid systems from stem cells offer new possibilities for disease modeling. In this study, we generate isogenic 3D midbrain organoids with or without a Parkinson’s disease-associated LRRK2 G2019S mutation. LRRK2-G2019S midbrain organoids derived from LRRK2 targeted human iPSCs in vitro have LRRK2-associated sporadic Parkinson's disease phenotypes. Midbrain-like 3D organoids expressing LRRK2-G2019S showed dynamic changes in globle gene expression.
