Project description:Megakaryocytes accumulate mRNA during their maturation, which is required for the correct spatio-temporal production of cytoskeletal proteins, membranes and platelet-specific granules, and for the subsequent shedding of thousands of platelets per cell. Gene expression profiling identified the RNA binding protein ATAXIN2 (ATXN2) as a putative novel regulator of megakaryopoiesis. ATXN2 expression is high in CD34+/CD41+ megakaryoblasts and sharply decreases upon maturation to megakaryocytes. ATXN2 associates with DDX6 suggesting that it may mediate repression of mRNA translation during early megakaryopoiesis. Comparative transcriptome and proteome analysis on megakaryoid cells (MEG-01) with differential ATXN2 expression identified ATXN2 dependent gene expression of mRNA and protein involved in processes linked to coagulation. Mice deficient for Atxn2 did not display differences in bleeding times, but expression of key surface receptors on platelets, such as ITGB3 (carries the CD61 antigen) and CD31 (PECAM1), were deregulated and platelet aggregation upon specific triggers was reduced.

Project description:Intermediate-length repeat expansions in ATAXIN-2 (ATXN2) are a strong genetic risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). At the molecular level, ATXN2 intermediate expansions enhance TDP-43 toxicity and pathology. However, whether this triggers ALS pathogenesis at the cellular and functional level remains unknown. Here, we developed a human iPSC-derived model to investigate whether motor neurons derived from ALS patients carrying ATXN2 intermediate repeat expansions are transcriptomically distinct from healthy controls. For that, we performed RNA sequencing of motor neurons derived from 5 ATXN2-ALS iPSC lines and 5 healthy controls (HC).

Project description:Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2 (SCA2) is caused by expansion of a polyglutamine encoding triplet repeat in the human ATXN2 gene beyond (CAG)31. This is thought to mediate toxic gain-of-function by protein aggregation, and affect RNA processing, resulting in degenerative processes affecting preferentially cerebellar neurons. As a faithful animal model, we generated a knock-in mouse replacing the single CAG of murine Atxn2 with CAG42, a frequent patient genotype. This expansion size was inherited stably. The mice showed phenotypes with reduced weight and later motor incoordination. Although brain Atxn2 mRNA became elevated, soluble ATXN2 protein levels diminished over time, which might explain partial loss-of-function effects. Deficits in soluble ATXN2 protein correlated with the appearance of insoluble ATXN2, a progressive feature in cerebellum possibly reflecting toxic gains-of-function. Since in vitro ATXN2 overexpression was known to reduce levels of its protein interactor PABPC1, we studied expansion effects on PABPC1. In cortex, PABPC1 transcript, soluble and insoluble protein levels were increased. In more vulnerable cerebellum the progressive insolubility of PABPC1 was accompanied by decreased soluble protein levels, with PABPC1 mRNA showing no compensatory increase. The sequestration of PABPC1 into insolubility by ATXN2 function gains was validated in human cell culture. To understand consequences on mRNA processing, transcriptome profiles at medium and old age in three different tissues were studied and demonstrated selective induction of Fbxw8 in old cerebellum. Fbxw8 is encoded next to the Atxn2 locus and was shown in vitro to decrease the level of expanded insoluble ATXN2 protein. In conclusion, our data support the concept that expanded ATXN2 undergoes progressive insolubility and affects PABPC1 by a toxic gain-of-function mechanism with tissue-specific effects, which may be partially alleviated by the induction of FBXW8.

Project description:Intermediate-length repeat expansions in ATAXIN-2 (ATXN2) are a strong genetic risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). At the molecular level, ATXN2 intermediate expansions enhance TDP-43 toxicity and pathology. However, whether this triggers ALS pathogenesis at the cellular and functional level remains unknown. Our study shows that microglial cells might contribute to ALS-related pathology observed in mice carrying ATXN2 intermediate repeat expansions (Q33) in an ALS background (TDP-43). To investigate whether ATXN2-Q33;TDP-43 spinal cord microglia are transcriptomically different from non transgenic counterparts, we performed RNA sequencing of sorted microglial cells from knock-in (ATXN2-Q33;TDP-43) as well as non-transgenic (NTg) mice.

At the molecular level, ATXN2 intermediate expansions enhance TDP-43 toxicity and pathology. However, whether this triggers ALS pathogenesis at the cellular and functional level remains unknown. To investigate gene expression changes and deregulated pathways caused by ataxin-2 intermediate repeat expansions in presence/absence of mutant TDP-43, we performed RNA sequencing of whole spinal cords from knock-in mice harboring ATXN2 and TDP-43 human transgenes as well as non-transgenic mice (NTg)

At the molecular level, ATXN2 intermediate expansions enhance TDP-43 toxicity and pathology. However, whether this triggers ALS pathogenesis at the cellular and functional level remains unknown. Here, we developed a human iPSC-derived model to investigate whether motor neurons derived from an ALS patient carrying ATXN2 intermediate repeat expansions (ALS-G) are transcriptomically distinct from a healthy control(OH2.6). For that, we generated a single cell RNA sequencing dataset consisting of a total of 384 cells.

Project description:Expression of the RNA-binding protein is increased upon megakaryocyte commitment, and may coordinate with mRNA stability and translation during megakaryopoiesis. Reduced expression of ATXN2 in human megakaryocytic cells decreased protein synthesis and total protein content despite equal mRNA expression. Genome-wide comparision of subpolysomal versus polysomal mRNA showed that both protein synthesis and protein degradation are derailed in absence of ATXN2. Furthermore, ATXN2 was associated with PABP and DDX6, proteins that control mRNA stability through the polyA-tail. These findings indicate that ATXN2 is involved in protein metabolism in megakaryocytes and platelet function.

Project description:The role of ABCC4, an ATP-binding cassette transporter, in the process of platelet formation, megakaryopoiesis, is unknown. Here, we show that ABCC4 is highly expressed in megakaryocytes (MKs). Mining of public genomic data (ATAC-seq and genome wide chromatin interactions, Hi-C) revealed that key megakaryopoiesis transcription factors (TFs) interacted with ABCC4 regulatory elements and likely accounted for high ABCC4 expression in MKs. Importantly these genomic interactions for ABCC4 ranked higher than for genes with known roles in megakaryopoiesis suggesting a role for ABCC4 in megakaryopoiesis. We then demonstrate that ABCC4 is required for optimal platelet formation as in vitro differentiation of fetal liver derived MKs from Abcc4-/- mice exhibited impaired proplatelet formation and polyploidization, features required for optimal megakaryopoiesis. Likewise, a human megakaryoblastic cell line, MEG-01 showed that acute ABCC4 inhibition markedly suppressed key processes in megakaryopoiesis and that these effects were related to reduced cAMP export and enhanced dissociation of a negative regulator of megakaryopoiesis, protein kinase A (PKA) from ABCC4. PKA activity concomitantly increased after ABCC4 inhibition which was coupled with significantly reduced GATA-1 expression, a TF needed for optimal megakaryopoiesis. Further, ABCC4 protected MKs from 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) as Abcc4-/- mice show a profound reduction in MKs after 6-MP treatment. In total, our studies show that ABCC4 not only protects the MKs but is also required for maximal platelet production from MKs, suggesting modulation of ABCC4 function might be a potential therapeutic strategy to regulate platelet production.
