Accurate grading of IDH-mutant gliomas defines patient prognosis and guides the treatment path. Histological grading is challenging, and aside from CDKN2A/B homozygous deletions in IDH-mutant astrocytomas, there are no other objective molecular markers used for grading. RNA-sequencing was conducted on primary IDH-mutant astrocytomas (n = 138) included in the prospective CATNON trial, which was performed to assess the prognostic effect of adjuvant and concurrent temozolomide. We integrated the RNA-sequencing data with matched DNA-methylation and NGS data. We also used multi-omics data from IDH-mutant astrocytomas included in the TCGA dataset and validated results on matched primary and recurrent samples from the GLASS-NL study. Since discrete classes do not adequately capture grading of these tumours, we utilised DNA-methylation profiles to generate a Continuous Grading Coefficient (CGC) based on classification scores from a CNS-tumour classifier. CGC was an independent predictor of survival outperforming current WHO-CNS5 and methylation-based classification. Our RNA-sequencing analysis revealed four distinct transcription clusters that were associated with (i) upregulation of cell cycling genes; (ii) downregulation of glial differentiation genes; (iii) upregulation of embryonic development genes (e.g. HOX, PAX, and TBX) and (iv) upregulation of extracellular matrix genes. The upregulation of embryonic development genes was associated with a specific increase of CpG island methylation near these genes. Higher grade IDH-mutant astrocytomas have DNA-methylation signatures that, on the RNA level, are associated with increased cell cycling, tumour cell de-differentiation and extracellular matrix remodelling. These combined molecular signatures can serve as an objective marker for grading of IDH-mutant astrocytomas.

IDH突变胶质瘤的准确分级可确定患者的预后并指导治疗方案。组织学分级具有挑战性,除了 IDH 突变星形细胞瘤中的 CDKN2A/B 基因同源缺失外,目前还没有其他用于分级的客观分子标记物。我们对前瞻性CATNON试验中的原发性IDH突变星形细胞瘤(n = 138)进行了RNA测序,该试验旨在评估替莫唑胺辅助治疗和同期治疗对预后的影响。我们将 RNA 序列数据与匹配的 DNA 甲基化和 NGS 数据进行了整合。我们还使用了TCGA数据集中IDH突变星形细胞瘤的多组学数据,并验证了GLASS-NL研究中匹配的原发样本和复发样本的结果。由于离散分级不能充分捕捉这些肿瘤的分级,我们利用DNA甲基化图谱,根据中枢神经系统肿瘤分类器的分类分数生成连续分级系数(CGC)。CGC 是生存率的独立预测指标,优于目前的 WHO-CNS5 和基于甲基化的分类。我们的 RNA 序列分析发现了四个不同的转录集群,它们分别与:(i) 细胞周期基因的上调;(ii) 神经胶质分化基因的下调;(iii) 胚胎发育基因(如 HOX、PAX 和 TBX)的上调和 (iv) 细胞外基质基因的上调有关。胚胎发育基因的上调与这些基因附近 CpG 岛甲基化的特定增加有关。高级别 IDH 突变星形细胞瘤的 DNA 甲基化特征在 RNA 水平上与细胞周期、肿瘤细胞去分化和细胞外基质重塑的增加有关。这些综合分子特征可作为 IDH 突变星形细胞瘤分级的客观标记。

White matter microvascular alterations in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) may be relevant to acquired neurodegenerative processes and cognitive impairments associated with this condition. We quantified microvascular changes, myelin, axonal, glial and extracellular-matrix labelling in the gyral core and deep temporal lobe white matter regions in surgical resections from 44 TLE patients with or without hippocampal sclerosis. We compared this pathology data with in vivo pre-operative MRI diffusion measurements in co-registered regions and neuropsychological measures of cognitive impairment and decline. In resections, increased arteriolosclerosis was observed in TLE compared to non-epilepsy controls (greater sclerotic index, p < 0.001), independent of age. Microvascular changes included increased vascular densities in some regions but uniformly reduced mean vascular size (quantified with collagen-4, p < 0.05–0.0001), and increased pericyte coverage of small vessels and capillaries particularly in deep white matter (quantified with platelet-derived growth factor receptorβ and smooth muscle actin, p < 0.01) which was more marked the longer the duration of epilepsy (p < 0.05). We noted increased glial numbers (Olig2, Iba1) but reduced myelin (MAG, PLP) in TLE compared to controls, particularly prominent in deep white matter. Gene expression analysis showed a greater reduction of myelination genes in HS than non-HS cases and with age and correlation with diffusion MRI alterations. Glial densities and vascular size were increased with increased MRI diffusivity and vascular density with white matter abnormality quantified using fixel-based analysis. Increased perivascular space was associated with reduced fractional anisotropy as well as age-accelerated cognitive decline prior to surgery (p < 0.05). In summary, likely acquired microangiopathic changes in TLE, including vascular sclerosis, increased pericyte coverage and reduced small vessel size, may indicate a functional alteration in contractility of small vessels and haemodynamics that could impact on tissue perfusion. These morphological features correlate with white matter diffusion MRI alterations and might explain cognitive decline in TLE.

颞叶癫痫(TLE)的白质微血管改变可能与后天神经退行性过程和认知障碍有关。我们对 44 例伴有或不伴有海马硬化的 TLE 患者手术切除的回旋核心和颞叶深部白质区域的微血管变化、髓鞘、轴突、胶质和细胞外基质标记进行了量化。我们将这些病理数据与术前共存区域的活体磁共振成像弥散测量结果以及认知障碍和认知能力下降的神经心理学测量结果进行了比较。在切除术中,与非癫痫对照组相比,我们观察到TLE患者的动脉硬化程度增加(硬化指数增大,p <0.001),这与年龄无关。微血管变化包括某些区域的血管密度增加,但平均血管大小却一致减小(用胶原蛋白-4定量,p< 0.05-0.0001),小血管和毛细血管的周细胞覆盖率增加,尤其是在深部白质中(用血小板衍生生长因子受体β和平滑肌肌动蛋白定量,p< 0.01),癫痫持续时间越长,这种变化越明显(p< 0.05)。我们注意到,与对照组相比,TLE 中胶质细胞数量(Olig2、Iba1)增加,但髓鞘(MAG、PLP)减少,在深部白质中尤为突出。基因表达分析表明,与非HS病例相比,HS病例中的髓鞘化基因减少得更多,并且随着年龄的增长而减少,这与弥散磁共振成像的改变有关。神经胶质密度和血管大小随磁共振成像弥散度的增加而增加,血管密度随白质异常的增加而增加。血管周围空间的增加与分数各向异性降低以及手术前年龄加速认知能力下降有关(p <0.05)。总之,TLE 可能存在获得性微血管病理改变,包括血管硬化、包膜覆盖增加和小血管尺寸缩小,这可能表明小血管收缩力和血液动力学发生了功能性改变,从而影响组织灌注。这些形态学特征与白质弥散核磁共振成像改变相关,可能解释了TLE认知能力下降的原因。

Tauopathy, including frontotemporal lobar dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, describes a class of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the aberrant accumulation of Tau protein due to defects in proteostasis. Upon generating and characterizing a stable transgenic zebrafish that expresses the human TAUP301L mutant in a neuron-specific manner, we found that accumulating Tau protein was efficiently cleared via an enhanced autophagy activity despite constant Tau mRNA expression; apparent tauopathy-like phenotypes were revealed only when the autophagy was genetically or chemically inhibited. We performed RNA-seq analysis, genetic knockdown, and rescue experiments with clinically relevant point mutations of valosin-containing protein (VCP), and showed that induced expression of VCP, an essential cytosolic chaperone for the protein quality system, was a key factor for Tau degradation via its facilitation of the autophagy flux. This novel function of VCP in Tau clearance was further confirmed in a tauopathy mouse model where VCP overexpression significantly decreased the level of phosphorylated and oligomeric/aggregate Tau and rescued Tau-induced cognitive behavioral phenotypes, which were reversed when the autophagy was blocked. Importantly, VCP expression in the brains of human Alzheimer’s disease patients was severely downregulated, consistent with its proposed role in Tau clearance. Taken together, these results suggest that enhancing the expression and activity of VCP in a spatiotemporal manner to facilitate the autophagy pathway is a potential therapeutic approach for treating tauopathy.

Tau病(包括额颞叶痴呆症和阿尔茨海默病)是一类神经退行性疾病,其特征是由于蛋白稳态缺陷导致的Tau蛋白异常积累。我们发现,尽管Tau mRNA的表达量保持不变,但积聚的Tau蛋白可通过增强的自噬活性被有效清除;只有当自噬受到遗传或化学抑制时,才会出现明显的类似Tau病的表型。我们对含缬氨酸蛋白(VCP)进行了RNA-seq分析、基因敲除以及与临床相关的点突变拯救实验,结果表明,VCP是蛋白质质量系统的重要细胞膜伴侣,其诱导表达是通过促进自噬通量降解Tau的关键因素。VCP在Tau清除中的这一新功能在tau病小鼠模型中得到了进一步证实,过量表达VCP可显著降低磷酸化Tau和寡聚/聚集Tau的水平,并挽救Tau诱导的认知行为表型。重要的是,VCP 在人类阿尔茨海默病患者大脑中的表达严重下调,这与它在 Tau 清除中的作用一致。综上所述,这些结果表明,以时空方式增强VCP的表达和活性以促进自噬途径是治疗牛头蛋白病的一种潜在治疗方法。

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an adult-onset motor neuron disease with a mean survival time of three years. The 97% of the cases have TDP-43 nuclear depletion and cytoplasmic aggregation in motor neurons. TDP-43 prevents non-conserved cryptic exon splicing in certain genes, maintaining transcript stability, including ATG4B, which is crucial for autophagosome maturation and Microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3B (LC3B) homeostasis. In ALS mice (G93A), Atg4b depletion worsens survival rates and autophagy function. For the first time, we observed an elevation of LC3ylation in the CNS of both ALS patients and atg4b−/− mouse spinal cords. Furthermore, LC3ylation modulates the distribution of ATG3 across membrane compartments. Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) targeting cryptic exon restore ATG4B mRNA in TARDBP knockdown cells. We further developed multi-target ASOs targeting TDP-43 binding sequences for a broader effect. Importantly, our ASO based in peptide-PMO conjugates show brain distribution post-IV administration, offering a non-invasive ASO-based treatment avenue for neurodegenerative diseases.

肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)是一种成人发病的运动神经元疾病,平均存活时间为三年。97%的病例在运动神经元中出现 TDP-43 核耗竭和胞质聚集。TDP-43 可阻止某些基因的非保守隐性外显子剪接,维持转录本的稳定性,其中包括对自噬体成熟和微管相关蛋白 1A/1B 轻链 3B(LC3B)平衡至关重要的 ATG4B。在 ALS 小鼠(G93A)中,Atg4b 的消耗会使存活率和自噬功能恶化。我们首次在 ALS 患者和 atg4b-/- 小鼠脊髓的中枢神经系统中观察到 LC3ylation 的升高。此外,LC3ylation 还能调节 ATG3 在膜区的分布。靶向隐性外显子的反义寡核苷酸(ASO)可恢复 TARDBP 敲除细胞中的 ATG4B mRNA。我们进一步开发了针对 TDP-43 结合序列的多靶点 ASO,以获得更广泛的效果。重要的是,我们基于多肽-PMO共轭物的ASO在静脉注射后显示出脑分布,为神经退行性疾病提供了一种基于ASO的非侵入性治疗途径。

[18F]Flortaucipir is an FDA-approved tau-PET tracer that is increasingly utilized in clinical settings for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Still, a large-scale comparison of the in vivo PET uptake to quantitative post-mortem tau pathology and to other co-pathologies is lacking. Here, we examined the correlation between in vivo [18F]flortaucipir PET uptake and quantitative post-mortem tau pathology in corresponding brain regions from the AVID A16 end-of-life study (n = 63). All participants underwent [18F]flortaucipir PET scans prior to death, followed by a detailed post-mortem neuropathological examination using AT8 (tau) immunohistochemistry. Correlations between [18F]flortaucipir standardized uptake value ratios (SUVRs) and AT8 immunohistochemistry were assessed across 18 regions-of-interest (ROIs). To assess [18F]flortaucipir specificity and level of detection for tau pathology, correlations between [18F]flortaucipir SUVR and neuritic plaque score and TDP-43 stage were also computed and retention was further assessed in individuals with possible primary age-related tauopathy (PART), defined as Thal phase ≤ 2 and Braak stage I–IV. We found modest-to-strong correlations between in vivo [18F]flortaucipir SUVR and post-mortem tau pathology density in corresponding brain regions in all neocortical regions analyzed (rho-range = 0.61–0.79, p < 0.0001 for all). The detection threshold of [18F]flortaucipir PET was determined to be 0.85% of surface area affected by tau pathology in a temporal meta-ROI, and 0.15% in a larger cortical meta-ROI. No significant associations were found between [18F]flortaucipir SUVRs and post-mortem tau pathology in individuals with possible PART. Further, there was no correlation observed between [18F]flortaucipir and level of amyloid-β neuritic plaque load (rho-range =  – 0.16–0.12; p = 0.48–0.61) or TDP-43 stage (rho-range =  – 0.10 to  – 0.30; p = 0.18–0.65). In conclusion, our in vivo vs post-mortem study shows that the in vivo [18F]flortaucipir PET signal primarily reflects tau pathology, also at relatively low densities of tau proteinopathy, and does not bind substantially to tau neurites in neuritic plaques or in individuals with PART.

[18F]Flortaucipir是一种经FDA批准的tau-PET示踪剂,越来越多地被用于阿尔茨海默病的临床诊断。然而,目前还缺乏将体内 PET 摄取与死后 tau 病理定量及其他合并病理进行大规模比较的研究。在这里,我们研究了 AVID A16 生命末期研究(n = 63)中相应脑区的体内 [18F]flortaucipir PET 摄取与死后 tau 病理定量之间的相关性。所有参与者在死前都接受了[18F]氟替瑞匹PET扫描,随后使用AT8(tau)免疫组化技术进行了详细的死后神经病理学检查。评估了18个感兴趣区(ROI)的[18F]氟替瑞匹标准化摄取值比(SUVRs)与AT8免疫组化之间的相关性。为了评估[18F]flortaucipir对tau病理学的特异性和检测水平,我们还计算了[18F]flortaucipir SUVR与神经斑块评分和TDP-43分期之间的相关性,并进一步评估了可能患有原发性年龄相关tau病(PART)(Thal分期≤2和Braak分期I-IV)的个体的保留率。我们发现,在分析的所有新皮质区域中,体内[18F]氟陶西哌 SUVR 与相应脑区的死后 tau 病理学密度之间存在中度到高度的相关性(rho-range = 0.61-0.79, p < 0.0001)。在颞叶元ROI中,[18F]flortaucipir PET的检测阈值被确定为受tau病理学影响的表面积的0.85%,而在更大的皮层元ROI中,[18F]flortaucipir PET的检测阈值为0.15%。在可能患有PART的患者中,[18F]flortaucipir SUVR与死后tau病理学之间没有发现明显的关联。此外,在[18F]flortaucipir和淀粉样β神经斑块负荷水平(rho-范围=-0.16-0.12;p=0.48-0.61)或TDP-43阶段(rho-范围=-0.10至-0.30;p=0.18-0.65)之间也没有观察到相关性。总之,我们的活体与尸检研究表明,活体[18F]氟陶西哌 PET 信号主要反映 tau 病理学,在 tau 蛋白病变的密度相对较低时也是如此,并且不会与神经里质斑块中的 tau 神经元或 PART 患者的 tau 神经元发生实质性结合。

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a multisystemic neurodegenerative disorder, with accumulating evidence indicating metabolic disruptions in the skeletal muscle preceding disease symptoms, rather than them manifesting as a secondary consequence of motor neuron (MN) degeneration. Hence, energy homeostasis is deeply implicated in the complex physiopathology of ALS and skeletal muscle has emerged as a key therapeutic target. Here, we describe intrinsic abnormalities in ALS skeletal muscle, both in patient-derived muscle cells and in muscle cell lines with genetic knockdown of genes related to familial ALS, such as TARDBP (TDP-43) and FUS. We found a functional impairment of myogenesis that parallels defects of glucose oxidation in ALS muscle cells. We identified FOXO1 transcription factor as a key mediator of these metabolic and functional features in ALS muscle, via gene expression profiling and biochemical surveys in TDP-43 and FUS-silenced muscle progenitors. Strikingly, inhibition of FOXO1 mitigated the impaired myogenesis in both the genetically modified and the primary ALS myoblasts. In addition, specific in vivo conditional knockdown of TDP-43 or FUS orthologs (TBPH or caz) in Drosophila muscle precursor cells resulted in decreased innervation and profound dysfunction of motor nerve terminals and neuromuscular synapses, accompanied by motor abnormalities and reduced lifespan. Remarkably, these phenotypes were partially corrected by foxo inhibition, bolstering the potential pharmacological management of muscle intrinsic abnormalities associated with ALS. The findings demonstrate an intrinsic muscle dysfunction in ALS, which can be modulated by targeting FOXO factors, paving the way for novel therapeutic approaches that focus on the skeletal muscle as complementary target tissue.

肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)是一种多系统神经退行性疾病,越来越多的证据表明,骨骼肌的代谢紊乱先于疾病症状出现,而不是运动神经元(MN)变性的继发后果。因此,能量平衡与渐冻症复杂的生理病理有密切关系,而骨骼肌已成为关键的治疗靶点。在这里,我们描述了 ALS 骨骼肌的内在异常,既包括源自患者的肌肉细胞,也包括基因敲除与家族性 ALS 相关基因(如 TARDBP (TDP-43) 和 FUS)的肌肉细胞系。我们发现在 ALS 肌肉细胞中存在与葡萄糖氧化缺陷相似的肌生成功能障碍。通过对 TDP-43 和 FUS 沉默的肌肉祖细胞进行基因表达谱分析和生化调查,我们发现 FOXO1 转录因子是 ALS 肌肉中这些代谢和功能特征的关键介导因子。令人震惊的是,抑制 FOXO1 可减轻转基因和原发性 ALS 肌母细胞受损的肌生成。此外,在果蝇肌肉前体细胞中特异性地在体内条件性敲除TDP-43或FUS同源物(TBPH或caz)会导致运动神经末梢和神经肌肉突触的神经支配减少和功能严重失调,并伴有运动异常和寿命缩短。值得注意的是,这些表型可通过抑制 foxo 得到部分纠正,从而增强了对与渐冻症相关的肌肉内在异常进行药物治疗的潜力。这些发现证明了渐冻症的内在肌肉功能障碍可以通过靶向 FOXO 因子来调节,从而为以骨骼肌为补充靶组织的新型治疗方法铺平了道路。

Oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted has highly variable outcomes that are strongly influenced by patient age. The distribution of oligodendroglioma age is non-Gaussian and reportedly bimodal, which motivated our investigation of age-associated molecular alterations that may drive poorer outcomes. We found that elevated HOXD12 expression was associated with both older patient age and shorter survival in the TCGA (FDR < 0.01, FDR = 1e−5) and the CGGA (p = 0.03, p < 1e−3). HOXD12 gene body hypermethylation was associated with older age, higher WHO grade, and shorter survival in the TCGA (p < 1e−6, p < 0.001, p < 1e−3) and with older age and higher WHO grade in Capper et al. (p < 0.002, p = 0.014). In the TCGA, HOXD12 gene body hypermethylation and elevated expression were independently prognostic of NOTCH1 and PIK3CA mutations, loss of 15q, MYC activation, and standard histopathological features. Single-nucleus RNA and ATAC sequencing data showed that HOXD12 activity was elevated in neoplastic tissue, particularly within cycling and OPC-like cells, and was associated with a stem-like phenotype. A pan-HOX DNA methylation analysis revealed an age and survival-associated HOX-high signature that was tightly associated with HOXD12 gene body methylation. Overall, HOXD12 expression and gene body hypermethylation were associated with an older, atypically aggressive subtype of oligodendroglioma.

IDH突变和1p/19q编码缺失的少突胶质细胞瘤的预后变化很大,受患者年龄的影响很大。少突胶质细胞瘤的年龄分布是非高斯分布,据报道是双峰分布,这促使我们研究可能导致较差预后的年龄相关分子改变。我们发现,在 TCGA(FDR <0.01,FDR = 1e-5)和 CGGA(p = 0.03,p <1e-3)中,HOXD12 表达升高与患者年龄增大和生存期缩短有关。在TCGA(p <1e-6,p <0.001,p <1e-3)和Capper等(p <0.002,p = 0.014)中,HOXD12基因体超甲基化与年龄较大、WHO分级较高和生存期较短有关。在TCGA中,HOXD12基因体超甲基化和表达升高与NOTCH1和PIK3CA突变、15q缺失、MYC活化和标准组织病理学特征无关。单核 RNA 和 ATAC 测序数据显示,HOXD12 活性在肿瘤组织中升高,尤其是在循环细胞和 OPC 样细胞中,并且与干样表型相关。泛HOX DNA甲基化分析显示,与年龄和存活率相关的HOX-高特征与HOXD12基因体甲基化密切相关。总体而言,HOXD12的表达和基因体的高甲基化与年龄较大、侵袭性不典型的少突胶质细胞瘤亚型有关。
