Project description:Many risk loci for Parkinson’s disease (PD) have been identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), but target genes and mechanisms remain largely unknown. We linked the GWAS-derived chromosome 7 locus (sentinel SNP rs199347) to GPNMB, through colocalization analyses of expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) and PD risk signals, confirmed by allele-specific expression studies in human brain. In cells, Glycoprotein Nonmetastatic Melanoma Protein B protein (GPNMB) co-immunoprecipitated and co-localized with alpha-synuclein (aSyn). In induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons, loss of GPNMB resulted in loss of ability to internalize aSyn fibrils and develop aSyn pathology. In 781 PD and 59 control biosamples, GPNMB was elevated in PD plasma, associating with disease severity. Thus, GPNMB represents a PD risk gene, with potential for biomarker development and therapeutic targeting.

Project description:Although α-synucleinis implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and related disorders, it remains unclear whether specific conformations or levels of α-synuclein assemblies are toxic and how they cause progressive loss of human dopaminergic neurons. To address this issue, we used iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons with a-synuclein triplication or controls where endogenous α-synuclein was imprinted into synthetic or disease-relevant conformations. We used α-synuclein fibrils generated de novo or amplified from homogenates of brains affected with Parkinson’s disease (n=3) .We found that a 2.5-fold increase in α-synuclein levels in α-synuclein gene triplication neurons promoted seeded aggregation in a dose and time-dependent fashion, which was associated with a further increase in α-synuclein gene expression.Transcriptomic analysis and isogenic correction of α-synuclein triplication revealed that intraneuronal α-synuclein levels solely and sufficiently explained vulnerability to cell death.

Project description:Althougha-synuclein is implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and related disorders, it remains unclear whether specific conformations or levels ofa-synuclein assemblies are toxic and how they cause progressive loss of human dopaminergic neurons. To address this issue, we used iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons with a-synuclein triplication or controls where endogenous a-synuclein was imprinted into synthetic or disease-relevant conformations. We used a-synuclein fibrils generated de novo or amplified from homogenates of brains affected with Parkinson’s disease (n=3) or multiple system atrophy (n=5). We found that a 2.5-fold increase in a-synuclein levels in a-synuclein gene triplication neurons promoted seeded aggregation in a dose and time-dependent fashion, which was associated with a further increase in a-synuclein gene expression. Progressive neuronal loss was observed only in a-synuclein triplication neurons seeded with brain-amplified fibrils. Transcriptomic analysis and isogenic correction of a-synuclein triplication revealed that intraneuronalalpha-synuclein levels solely and sufficiently explained vulnerability to neuronal death

Project description:The etiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains elusive, and the limited availability of suitable animal models hampers research on pathogenesis and drug development. We report the development of a cynomolgus monkey model of PD that combines AAV-mediated overexpression of α-synuclein into the substantia nigra with injection of Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) into the striatum. Our results show that pathological processes were accelerated, including dopaminergic neuron degeneration, Lewy Bodies aggregation, and hallmarks of inflammation in microglia and astrocytes. Behavioral phenotypes, dopamine transporter imaging and transcriptomic profiling further demonstrate consistencies between the model and PD patients. This model can help to determine mechanisms underlying PD impacted by α-synuclein and PAR and aid in accelerated development of therapeutic strategies for PD.

Project description:In order to investigate the effect of Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG) on p-α-synuclein in substantia nigra of Parkinson's disease (PD) model mice (C57BL/6), we profiled substantia nigra from wild-type (WT), AAV-α-synuclein (α-Syn), AKG and α-Syn-AKG in male mice by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).

Project description:Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the degeneration of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, and by intraneuronal accumulation of aggregated α-synuclein (aSyn). Environmental factors contribute significantly to neurodegeneration in patients, and non-pharmacological interventions are increasingly explored. Among these, caloric restriction and time-restricted feeding have demonstrated beneficial effects in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases. The ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) has been suggested to mediate some of these effects. In this study, we tested the therapeutic potential of intermittent fasting (IF, every other day feeding) in an aSyn-based mouse model of PD. IF was initiated four weeks after induction of aSyn pathology. Four weeks of IF mitigated the aSyn-induced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons and axon terminals. IF also reduced aSyn pathology as reported by staining for phosphorylated aSyn and Triton X-100 solubility. IF mitigated the aSyn-induced motor phenotype, the decrease in striatal dopamine and the decrease in synaptic markers. In transcriptomic analysis, we observed a robust modulation of genes involved in inflammation and microglia activation even with just brief IF treatment and without synuclein transduction. In primary mouse neurons, starvation and treatment with BHB were sufficient to induce autophagy and reduced αSyn pathology. Taken together, IF might constitute a plausible neuroprotective strategy for patients with Parkinson’s diseases. BHB-induced autophagy and altered neuroinflammation are pathways that potentially contribute to the protective effect.

Project description:Abnormal accumulation of aggregated proteins and sustained microglial activation are important contributors of neurodegenerative process in neurological diseases. Recent studies have shown that aggregation-prone proteins, such as a-synuclein, the protein implicated in Parkinson’s disease (PD), are released from neuronal cells and thus present in the extracellular fluid, pointing to the possible paracrine effects of these proteins on microglial immune responses. However, the mechanism underlying the disease-associated microglial activation and the role of neuronal proteins in this process remain unknown. Here, we show that extracellular a-synuclein released from neuronal cells is an endogenous ligand of toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and activates microglia, which in turn induces neurodegeneration. Interaction between neuron-released a-synuclein and TLR2 and subsequent activation of the TLR2 signaling were demonstrated comprehensively by using computational modeling of signaling network and by the experimental validation in TLR2-deficient microglia both in vitro and in vivo. In contrast to the neuron-released a-synuclein, recombinant a-synuclein proteins, including monomer, oligomer, fibril, or nitrated forms, were not able to interact or activate TLR2, suggesting that neuronal cells have a mechanism of enriching specific forms of a-synuclein capable of activating TLR2 during the process of releasing this protein. Taken together, the results suggest that both neuron-released extracellular a-synuclein and TLR2 might be novel therapeutic targets for modifying neuroinflammation in PD and related neurodegenerative diseases. We collected culture media from differentiated SH-SY5Y cells overexpressing either human a-synuclein (alpha-SCM) or beta-galactosidase (LZCM) and treat these media to primary rat microglia at the concentration of a-synuclein of 1.1M. Transcriptome analyses with microglial cells treated with either aSCM or LZCM at two different time points, 6 h and 24 h.
