Background Pridopidine is a highly selective, potent Sigma-1 receptor (S1R) agonist in clinical development for HD and ALS. The S1R is a protein enriched at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria interface and vital to multiple cellular mechanisms, including mitochondrial function and the ER stress response. By activating the S1R, pridopidine exerts neuroprotective effects in many models of neurodegenerative diseases, including HD. In HD neurons, abnormal ER and mitochondria function increase susceptibility to oxidative stress, causing cell death. Aims Assess the effects of pridopidine on mitochondrial function and ER stress in HD models. Methods In neurons from YAC128 HD model mice, mitochondria and ER structure were assessed., Mitochondrial function was assessed by measuring respiration, ATP production, membrane potential and reactive oxygen species. Motor and mitochondrial function was assessed in vivo in YAC128 mice. ER stress was assessed by measuring levels of proteins involved in the stress response in HEK293 cells expressing normal or mutant Htt. Results Pridopidine restores mitochondrial and ER structure and connectivity (p Pridopidine reduces levels of phosphorylated protein eIF2α (p Conclusion The protective effects of pridopidine are facilitated by S1R-mediated rescue of mitochondrial function and ER stress pathway, both disrupted in HD. These findings shed new light on pridopidine’s mechanism of action.
Pridopidine是一种高选择性,有效的Sigma-1受体(S1R)激动剂,用于治疗HD和ALS的临床开发。S1R是一种在内质网(ER)-线粒体界面富集的蛋白质,对多种细胞机制至关重要,包括线粒体功能和内质网应激反应。通过激活S1R, pridopidine在包括HD在内的许多神经退行性疾病模型中发挥神经保护作用。在HD神经元中,异常的ER和线粒体功能增加了对氧化应激的易感性,导致细胞死亡。目的探讨哌啶对HD大鼠线粒体功能和内质网应激的影响。方法观察YAC128 HD模型小鼠神经元线粒体和内质网结构。通过测定呼吸、ATP生成、膜电位和活性氧来评估线粒体功能。在YAC128小鼠体内评估运动和线粒体功能。通过测量表达正常或突变Htt的HEK293细胞中参与应激反应的蛋白水平来评估内质网应激。结果Pridopidine恢复线粒体和内质网结构和连连性(p Pridopidine降低磷酸化蛋白eIF2α (p)的水平(p)结论Pridopidine的保护作用是通过s1r介导的线粒体功能和内质网应激途径的修复来促进的,这两个途径在HD中都被破坏。这些发现为哌啶的作用机制提供了新的线索。

Autophagy is a fundamental cellular pathway involved in the clearance of protein aggregates, and it is particularly important in neurons. The toxic aggregates derived from the mutated Huntingtin have been shown to interfere with the physiological autophagic flux, resulting in neuronal death. Glutamate Dehydrogenase (GDH) is an evolutionary conserved enzyme that catalyses the conversion of glutamate and ammonia to α-ketoglutarate and vice versa and is also member of the Glutamate-Glutamine Cycle (GGC), a physiological process between glia and neurons that controls glutamate homeostasis. Through a genetic screen using a Drosophila model for Huntington’s disease (HD), we identified that reduction of GDH ameliorates animal motility and decreases the size of mutated Huntingtin’s (mHTT) aggregates in brains. The aim of our project is to analyze how GDH downregulation induces autophagy in neurons. We modeled HD phenotype in Drosophila by expressing mHTT with 93-CAG repetition (HTTQ93) in neurons. To investigate the effect of GDH we used motility and viability assay, while western blots and immunofluorescence analysis were used to investigate changes in mHTT aggregates. We found the reduction of GDH inhibits the accumulation of p62/Ref(2)P, an autophagic adaptor that abnormally increases in mHTT-expressing neurons. Reduction of GDH also leads to a substantial decrease in essential aminoacids in heads of adult flies. In particular we focused on Leucine and Glutamine, two major activators of TOR pathway. Leucine binds to its sensor Sestrin, while Glutamine enters the cell through specific receptors including LAT1/SCLA7/Minidisc, a Glutamine/Leucine antiporter. We are currently exploiting whether these sensors modulate TOR activity in the mechanism through which GDH downregulation induces autophagy. The goal of our work is also to design pharmacological inhibitors of GDH to be tested in vivo in flies to ameliorate HD pathology in humans.
自噬是一种参与蛋白质聚集物清除的基本细胞途径,在神经元中尤为重要。来自突变亨廷顿蛋白的毒性聚集体已被证明会干扰生理自噬通量,导致神经元死亡。谷氨酸脱氢酶(GDH)是一种进化保守的酶,它催化谷氨酸和氨转化为α-酮戊二酸,反之亦然,也是谷氨酸-谷氨酰胺循环(GGC)的成员,GGC是神经胶质和神经元之间控制谷氨酸稳态的生理过程。通过使用果蝇亨廷顿病(HD)模型的基因筛选,我们发现GDH的减少改善了动物的运动能力,并减少了大脑中突变亨廷顿病(mHTT)聚集物的大小。我们项目的目的是分析GDH下调如何诱导神经元自噬。我们通过在神经元中表达93-CAG重复(HTTQ93)的mHTT来模拟果蝇的HD表型。为了研究GDH的影响,我们使用了活力和活力测定,而使用western blots和免疫荧光分析来研究mHTT聚集物的变化。我们发现GDH的减少抑制了p62/Ref(2)P的积累,p62/Ref(2)P是一种自噬接头,在表达mhtt的神经元中异常增加。GDH的减少也会导致成年果蝇头部必需氨基酸的大量减少。我们特别关注了亮氨酸和谷氨酰胺这两种TOR通路的主要激活剂。亮氨酸与其传感器Sestrin结合,而谷氨酰胺通过特定受体进入细胞,包括LAT1/SCLA7/Minidisc,一种谷氨酰胺/亮氨酸反转运蛋白。我们目前正在研究这些传感器是否在GDH下调诱导自噬的机制中调节TOR活性。我们工作的目标也是设计GDH的药理学抑制剂,在果蝇体内进行测试,以改善人类HD的病理。

Background Huntington’s Disease (HD) is a devastating and presently untreatable neurodegenerative disease, characterized by progressively disabling motor and mental manifestations. Sigma-1 receptor (σ1R), whose 3D structure has been recently determined by X-ray crystallography, is expressed in the central nervous system, and σ1R agonists have been shown to possess neuroprotective activity in neurodegenerative diseases. Aims Our overall aim is to exploit σ1R neuroprotective activity for HD therapy. Methods We are integrating computational and experimental methods: i) Virtual Screening (VS) of compound libraries available through the ZINC database towards σ1R; ii) Experimental ligand binding to purified σ1R in vitro by Surface Plasmon Resonance; iii) Assessment of ligand ability to improve the growth of fibroblasts obtained from HD patients, which is significantly impaired with respect to control cells. Additionally, we are performing Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations to elucidate the mechanism of ligand entrance to σ1R binding site. Results i) Six known drugs have been demonstrated to be able to bind purified σ1R in vitro and improve survival and growth of HD fibroblasts; ii) Several human metabolites have been predicted by VS to bind σ1R. iii) Predictions on routes of ligand entrance have been provided by MD studies. Conclusions Our results support the validity of σ1R as a molecular target for HD therapy, and of the drug repositioning procedure implemented herein for the identification of new therapeutic agents against HD. Experimental validation of metabolites selected by VS and results of MD simulations will contribute to identify endogenous σ1R ligand(s) and mechanism of σ1R entrance.
亨廷顿舞蹈病(HD)是一种毁灭性的,目前无法治疗的神经退行性疾病,其特征是逐渐丧失运动和精神表现。Sigma-1受体(σ1R)在中枢神经系统中表达,其三维结构最近已被x射线晶体学确定,而σ1R激动剂已被证明在神经退行性疾病中具有神经保护作用。目的利用σ1R对HD的神经保护作用。方法采用计算与实验相结合的方法:1)对锌数据库中可获得的化合物库进行虚拟筛选(VS),筛选的方向为σ1R;ii)表面等离子体共振实验配体与纯化σ1R的体外结合;iii)评估配体改善HD患者成纤维细胞生长的能力,与对照细胞相比,成纤维细胞明显受损。此外,我们还进行了分子动力学(MD)模拟来阐明配体进入σ1R结合位点的机制。结果1)已有6种已知药物能够在体外结合纯化的σ1R,改善HD成纤维细胞的存活和生长;ii)用VS预测了几种人体代谢物与σ1R的结合。iii) MD研究提供了对配体进入途径的预测。结论本研究结果支持σ1R作为HD治疗的分子靶点的有效性,以及本文所实施的用于鉴定HD治疗新药的药物重新定位程序的有效性。通过实验验证VS选择的代谢物和MD模拟结果将有助于确定内源性σ1R配体和σ1R进入机制。

Huntington’s disease (HD) is caused by expanded poly-glutamine in Huntingtin (mHTT), inducing many cellular dysfunctions, including cholesterol metabolism deregulation. The main pathway of cholesterol elimination is its catabolization by the neuronal 24-hydroxylase enzyme (CYP46A1) into 24S-hydroxycholesterol (24S-OHC), a ligand of Liver X Receptor (LXR). CYP46A1 level is decreased in HD, and its restoration induces a neuroprotection with an upregulation of LXR target genes. A therapeutic interest was raised for the LXR in several neurodegenerative diseases. We hypothesized the involvement of LXR in CYP46A1 neuroprotection. There are two LXR isoforms, LXRalpha mainly expressed in liver and LXRbeta enriched in the brain for cholesterol metabolism regulation. Commercialized LXR agonists suffer from side effects on lipogenesis due to the activation of LXRalpha in the liver. The aim of the project is to take advantage of new LXRbeta agonists to investigate the role of LXR activation in HD. Primary cultures of striatal neurons and astrocytes were treated with LXR agonists to validate their bioactivity and study their neuroprotective role in a HD cellular model. Wild Type mice were treated with LXR commercial agonist to determine the more efficient administration root and protocol. In neurons and astrocytes culture, LXRalpha, LXRbeta and commercial agonists induce an increase of mRNA level of LXR target genes, involved in cholesterol metabolism and known to be downregulated in HD. The LXR agonists induce a neuroprotection in HD striatal neurons in culture, with a decrease of mHTT aggregates and an increase of cell survival. When treated with inhibitor of proteasome or autophagy machinery, the neuroprotective role induced by LXR agonists is reversed. These results support the biological efficacy of these new LXR compounds and their neuroprotective role in HD striatal neurons. The next step will be to explore their effect in HD mice model.
亨廷顿舞蹈病(HD)是由亨廷顿蛋白(mHTT)中多谷氨酰胺扩增引起的,诱导许多细胞功能障碍,包括胆固醇代谢失调。胆固醇消除的主要途径是由神经元24-羟化酶(CYP46A1)分解代谢成肝脏X受体(LXR)的配体24s -羟基胆固醇(24S-OHC)。CYP46A1水平在HD中降低,其恢复通过上调LXR靶基因诱导神经保护。LXR在几种神经退行性疾病中的治疗兴趣被提高。我们假设LXR参与CYP46A1的神经保护。LXR有两种异构体,主要表达于肝脏的lxrα和富集于大脑的lxrβ,用于调节胆固醇代谢。商业化的LXR激动剂由于在肝脏中激活LXR α而遭受脂肪生成的副作用。该项目的目的是利用新的LXR受体激动剂来研究LXR激活在HD中的作用。用LXR激动剂处理纹状体神经元和星形胶质细胞的原代培养物,以验证其生物活性并研究其在HD细胞模型中的神经保护作用。用LXR商业激动剂治疗野生型小鼠,以确定更有效的给药途径和方案。在神经元和星形胶质细胞培养中,lxrα、lxrβ和商业激动剂诱导LXR靶基因mRNA水平升高,这些基因参与胆固醇代谢,已知在HD中下调。LXR激动剂在培养的HD纹状体神经元中诱导神经保护,减少mHTT聚集,增加细胞存活率。当用蛋白酶体抑制剂或自噬机制治疗时,LXR激动剂诱导的神经保护作用被逆转。这些结果支持这些新的LXR化合物的生物学功效及其对HD纹状体神经元的神经保护作用。下一步将探索它们在HD小鼠模型中的作用。

Background Cholesterol is a multifaceted molecule essential for brain function (Martin 2014). In the adult brain, cholesterol is produced locally by astrocytes and transferred to neurons through apoE-containing lipoproteins (Jurevics & Morell 1995; Mauch 2001). Disruption of brain cholesterol pathways has been linked to several neurological disorders, including Huntington’s disease (HD), a genetic, neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG expansion in the gene encoding the Huntingtin protein (Valenza & Cattaneo 2011). Brain cholesterol biosynthesis and content are reduced in several HD models (Valenza 2005; 2007; 2010; Shankaran 2017). The underlying molecular mechanism relies on reduced nuclear translocation of SREBP2, the transcription factor that controls the transcription of several genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis (Valenza 2015; Di Pardo 2020). We have recently shown that cholesterol supplementation to the brain, with different delivery systems, ameliorates synaptic and behavioral defects in the R6/2 mouse model (Valenza 2015; Birolini 2020; Birolini 2021). Aims and Methods Here, we used recombinant adeno-associated virus 2/5 to deliver exogenous SREBP2 specifically in astrocytes in order to enhance the endogenous cholesterol biosynthesis in the striatum of R6/2 mice. Results We found that exogenous SREBP2 stimulates the transcription of key cholesterol biosynthesis genes resulting in fully restoration of synaptic transmission, reversal of Drd2 transcript levels, clearance of mutant Huntingtin (muHTT) aggregates and rescue of behavioral deficits. Conclusions These results demonstrate that stimulating cholesterol biosynthesis in striatal astrocytes has a positive effect on behavioral decline and disease-related phenotypes in HD mice. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that glial SREBP2 participates in HD pathogenesis in vivo, highlighting the translational potential of cholesterol-based strategies for this disease.
胆固醇是脑功能必需的多面分子(Martin 2014)。在成人大脑中,胆固醇由星形胶质细胞局部产生,并通过含载脂蛋白e的脂蛋白转移到神经元(Jurevics & Morell 1995;Mauch 2001)。脑胆固醇通路的破坏与几种神经系统疾病有关,包括亨廷顿病(HD),这是一种遗传性神经退行性疾病,由编码亨廷顿蛋白的基因CAG扩增引起(Valenza & Cattaneo 2011)。几种HD模型的脑胆固醇生物合成和含量降低(Valenza 2005;2007;2010;Shankaran 2017)。潜在的分子机制依赖于SREBP2的核易位减少,SREBP2是控制几个参与胆固醇生物合成的基因转录的转录因子(Valenza 2015;Di Pardo 2020)。我们最近的研究表明,在R6/2小鼠模型中,通过不同的输送系统向大脑补充胆固醇可以改善突触和行为缺陷(Valenza 2015;Birolini 2020;Birolini 2021)。目的和方法利用重组腺相关病毒2/5在星形胶质细胞中特异性传递外源性SREBP2,以增强R6/2小鼠纹状体内源性胆固醇的生物合成。结果我们发现外源性SREBP2刺激关键胆固醇生物合成基因的转录,导致突触传递的完全恢复,Drd2转录水平的逆转,突变亨廷顿蛋白(muHTT)聚集物的清除和行为缺陷的拯救。结论刺激纹状体星形胶质细胞的胆固醇生物合成对HD小鼠的行为下降和疾病相关表型具有积极作用。此外,我们已经证明神经胶质SREBP2参与体内HD的发病机制,强调了基于胆固醇的疾病策略的转化潜力。

In the adult brain, cholesterol is produced locally by astrocytes and transferred to neurons through apoE-containing lipoproteins (Jurevics & Morell 1995; Mauch 2001). Disruption of brain cholesterol pathways has been linked to several neurological disorders, including Huntington’s disease (HD), a genetic, neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG expansion in the gene encoding the Huntingtin protein (Valenza & Cattaneo 2011). Brain cholesterol biosynthesis and content are reduced in several HD models (Valenza 2005; 2007; 2010; Shankaran 2017). The underlying molecular mechanism relies on reduced nuclear translocation of SREBP2, the transcription factor that controls the transcription of several genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis (Valenza 2015; Di Pardo 2020). We have recently shown that cholesterol supplementation to the brain, with different delivery systems, ameliorates synaptic and behavioral defects in the R6/2 mouse model (Valenza 2015; Birolini 2020; Birolini 2021). Aims and Methods Here, we used recombinant adeno-associated virus 2/5 to deliver exogenous SREBP2 specifically in astrocytes in order to enhance the endogenous cholesterol biosynthesis in the striatum of R6/2 mice. Results We found that exogenous SREBP2 stimulates the transcription of key cholesterol biosynthesis genes resulting in fully restoration of synaptic transmission, reversal of Drd2 transcript levels, clearance of mutant Huntingtin (muHTT) aggregates and rescue of behavioral deficits. Conclusions These results demonstrate that stimulating cholesterol biosynthesis in striatal astrocytes has a positive effect on behavioral decline and disease-related phenotypes in HD mice. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that glial SREBP2 participates in HD pathogenesis in vivo, highlighting the translational potential of cholesterol-based strategies for this disease.","PeriodicalId":444837,"journal":{"name":"I: Experimental therapeutics – preclinical","volume":"169 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116636557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
