Project description:BackgroundSynucleinopathies are disorders characterized by the abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein (aSyn). Synaptic compromise is observed in synucleinopathies parallel to aSyn aggregation and is accompanied by transcript deregulation.ObjectiveWe sought to identify microRNAs associated with synaptic processes that may contribute to synaptic dysfunction and degeneration in synucleinopathies.MethodsWe performed small RNA-sequencing of midbrain from 6-month-old transgenic mice expressing A30P mutant aSyn, followed by comparative expression analysis. We then used real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for validation. Functional analysis was performed in primary neurons by biochemical assays and imaging.ResultsWe found several deregulated biological processes linked to the synapse. miR-101a-3p was validated as a synaptic miRNA upregulated in aSyn Tg mice and in the cortex of dementia with Lewy bodies patients. Mice and primary cultured neurons overexpressing miR-101a-3p showed downregulation of postsynaptic proteins GABA Ab2 and SAPAP3 and altered dendritic morphology resembling synaptic plasticity impairments and/or synaptic damage. Interestingly, primary cultured neuron exposure to recombinant wild-type aSyn species efficiently increased miR-101a-3p levels. Finally, a dynamic role of miR-101a-3p in synapse plasticity was shown by identifying downregulation of miR-101a-3p in a condition of enhanced synaptic plasticity modelled in Wt animals housed in enriched environment.ConclusionTo conclude, we correlated pathologic aSyn with high levels of miR-101a-3p and a novel dynamic role of the miRNA in synaptic plasticity.

Project description:Astrocyte (AC) involvement is a common neuropathological feature in human synucleinopathy-associated neurodegeneration. However, our understanding of the in vivo characteristics of reactive ACs in synucleinopathy remained limited. Here we report the transcriptomic and functional features of a unique synucleinopathy-associated AC (SAA) subtype in a mouse model. SAAs share a convergent transcriptomic state across synucleinopathy-laden brain regions, and are at least partially reliant on microglia for their phenotypic maintenance in vivo. Intravital imaging revealed that an upregulation of the excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (EAAT2) in synucleinopathy-affected ACs is associated with depressed neuronal activities. This is potentially mediated via increased AC glutamate uptake, as pharmacological induction of EAAT2 reproduced the same effect. With cross-species comparative analysis, we showed that the core SAA transcriptomic features are present in human aged and synucleinopathy-affected midbrain ACs, while important distinct characteristics also exist. Collectively, our results uncovered complex reactive AC changes that likely play important adaptive roles in synucleinopathy.

Project description:Examination of early phases of synucleinopathy when inclusions are present, but long before neurodegeneration occurs, is critical to both understanding disease progression and the development of disease modifying therapies. The rat alpha-synuclein (α-syn) preformed fibril (PFF) model induces synchronized synucleinopathy that recapitulates the pathological features of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and can be used to study synucleinopathy progression. In this model, phosphorylated α-syn (pSyn) inclusion-containing neurons and reactive microglia (major histocompatibility complex-II immunoreactive) peak in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) months before appreciable neurodegeneration. However, it remains unclear which specific genes are driving these phenotypic changes. To identify transcriptional changes associated with early synucleinopathy, we used laser capture microdissection of the SNpc paired with RNA sequencing (RNASeq). Precision collection of the SNpc allowed for the assessment of differential transcript expression in the nigral dopamine neurons and proximal glia. Transcripts upregulated in early synucleinopathy were mainly associated with an immune response, whereas transcripts downregulated were associated with neurotransmission and the dopamine pathway. A subset of 29 transcripts associated with neurotransmission/vesicular release and the dopamine pathway were verified in a separate cohort of males and females to confirm reproducibility. Within this subset, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to localize decreases in the Syt1 and Slc6a3 transcripts to pSyn inclusion-containing neurons. Identification of transcriptional changes in early synucleinopathy provides insight into the molecular mechanisms driving neurodegeneration.

Project description:We show that traumatic stress experienced by males in early postnatal life impairs memory in their offspring, blocks long-term potentiation (LTP) and favors long-term depression (LTD). These effects are accompanied by suppression of key molecular pathways involved in neuronal plasticity both at rest and after acute stress. Male mice were exposed to chronic traumatic stress in early postnatal life and were later bred to naM-CM-/ve females to produce second-generation offspring. Memory performance was evaluated in the offspring, and synaptic plasticity was examined in the hippocampus and the amygdala, brain areas important for memory formation. The two groups tested were 1: offspring of fathers which were stressed (MSUS - maternal separation unpredictable stress) and 2: offspring of non-stressed fathers (control). Genome-wide gene expression in hippocampus of these two groups was assessed at rest (this study) and after acute stress.

Project description:Neurotransmitter release occurs through exocytosis of synaptic vesicles. α-Synuclein’s function and dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease and other synucleinopathies is tightly linked to synaptic vesicle binding. Age is the biggest risk factor for synucleinopathy, and ~15% of synaptic vesicle proteins are linked to diseases of the central nervous system. Yet, age- and disease-induced changes in synaptic vesicles remain unexplored. For an unbiased analysis of the synaptic vesicle proteome, we applied quantitative mass spectrometry to crude synaptic vesicles isolated at three time points (1 month, 3 months, and 10 months of age) from wild-type mice, alpha-synuclein knockout mice, and alpha-synuclein BAC mice, which express human wild-type alpha-synuclein under all human regulatory elements in absence of mouse alpha-synuclein, providing human-like spatiotemporal expression of alpha-synuclein and recapitulating motor and pathological features of Parkinson’s disease. We identified specific changes in synaptic vesicle proteins that capture aging and synucleinopathies. These findings not only provide new insights into synaptic vesicle biology and mechanisms of synucleinopathy, but also offer a baseline for further mechanistic exploration of age- and disease-related alterations in synaptic vesicles.

Project description:The synaptic protein α-synuclein is linked through genetics and neuropathology to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and related disorders. However, the mechanisms by which α-synuclein influences disease onset and progression are incompletely understood. To identify novel pathways and potential therapeutic targets we performed proteomic analysis in a highly penetrant new Drosophila model of α-synucleinopathy. We identified 476 significantly upregulated and 563 significantly downregulated proteins in heads from α-synucleinopathy model flies compared to controls. We then used multiple complementary analyses to identify and prioritize genes and pathways within the large set of differentially expressed proteins for functional studies. We performed Gene Ontology enrichment analysis, integrated our proteomic changes with human Parkinson’s disease genetic studies, and compared the α-synucleinopathy proteome with that of tauopathy model flies, which are relevant to Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. These approaches identified GTP cyclohydrolase (GCH1) and folate metabolism as candidate mediators of α-synuclein neurotoxicity. In functional validation studies we found that knockdown of Drosophila Gch1 enhanced locomotor deficits in α-synuclein transgenic flies, while folate supplementation protected from α-synuclein toxicity. Our integrative analysis suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction was a common downstream mediator of neurodegeneration. Accordingly, Gch1 knockdown enhanced metabolic dysfunction in α-synuclein transgenic fly brains while folate supplementation partially normalized whole brain bioenergetics. Here we outline and implement an integrative approach to identify and validate potential therapeutic pathways using comparative proteomics and genetics and capitalizing on the facile genetic and pharmacological tools available in Drosophila.
