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:GPNMB confers risk for Parkinson’s disease through interaction with alpha-synuclein
| PRJNA850079 | ENA
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:Alpha-synuclein (α-syn) aggregation and immune activation represent hallmark pathological events in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The PD-associated immune response encompasses both brain and peripheral immune cells, although little is known about the immune proteins relevant for such response. We propose that the upregulation of CD163 observed in blood monocytes and in the responsive microglia in the PD patients is a protective mechanism in the disease. To investigate this, we used the PD model based on intrastriatal injections of murine α-syn pre-formed fibrils (PFF) in CD163 knockout (KO) mice and wild-type littermates. CD163KO females revealed an impaired and differential early immune response to α-syn pathology as revealed by immunohistochemical and transcriptomic analysis. After 6 months, CD163KO females showed an exacerbated immune response and α-syn pathology, which ultimately led to a dopaminergic neurodegeneration of greater magnitude. These findings support a novel, sex-dimorphic neuroprotective role for CD163 during α-syn-induced neurodegeneration.

Project description:Mitochondrial dysfunction and accumulation of α-synuclein aggregates are hallmarks of the neurodegenerative Parkinson’s disease and may be interconnected. In order to investigate the interplay between α-synuclein and brain mitochondria at near atomic structural level we applied NMR and identified α-synuclein protein interactors using limited proteolysis-coupled mass spectrometry (LiP-MS). Several of the proteins identified were related to ATP synthesis and homeostasis and included subunits of ATP synthase and the adenylate kinase AK2. Furthermore, our data suggest that α-synuclein interacts with the Parkinson’s disease related protein DJ1. NMR analysis demonstrated that both AK2 and DJ1 bind to the C-terminus and other segments of α-synuclein. Using a functional assay for AK2, we showed that monomeric α-synuclein has an activating effect, whereas C-terminally truncated α-synuclein and α-synuclein in an amyloid fibrillar state had no significant effect on AK2 activity. Our results suggest that α-synuclein modulates ATP homeostasis in a manner dependent on its conformation and its C-terminal acidic segment.

Project description:Parkinson’s disease is characterized by the aggregation of the presynaptic protein α-synuclein and its deposition into pathologic Lewy bodies. While extensive research has been carried out on mediators of α-synuclein aggregation, molecular facilitators of α-synuclein disaggregation are still generally unknown. We investigated the role of molecular chaperones in both preventing and disaggregating α-synuclein oligomers and fibrils, with a focus on the mammalian disaggregase complex. Here, we show that overexpression of the chaperone Hsp110 is sufficient to reduce α-synuclein aggregation in a mammalian cell culture model. Additionally, we demonstrate that Hsp110 effectively mitigates α-synuclein pathology in vivo through the characterization of transgenic Hsp110 and double transgenic α-synuclein/Hsp110 mouse models. Unbiased analysis of the synaptic proteome of these mice revealed that overexpression of Hsp110 can override the protein changes driven by the α-synuclein transgene. Furthermore, overexpression of Hsp110 is sufficient to prevent endogenous α-synuclein templating and spread following injection of aggregated α-synuclein seeds into brain, supporting a role for Hsp110 in the prevention and/or disaggregation of α-synuclein pathology.

Project description:Although Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most rapidly growing neurological disorders, interindividual differences in PD etiology related to genetics are not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate genome-wide DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation alterations associated with overexpression of two PD-linked alpha-synuclein variants (wild type and A30P) in LUHMES cells differentiated to dopaminergic neurons. Alpha-synuclein altered DNA methylation at thousands of CpGs and DNA hydroxymethylation at hundreds of CpGs in both genotypes, and primarily at locomotor and glutamate signaling pathway genes. In some cases, epigenetic changes were associated with transcription. SMITE network analysis incorporating H3K4me1 ChIP-seq to score DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation changes across promoters, enhancers, and gene bodies confirmed epigenetic and transcriptional deregulation of glutamate signaling modules in both genotypes. Our results identify distinct and shared impacts of alpha-synuclein variants on the epigenome, and associate alpha-synuclein in the epigenetic etiology of PD.
