Mouse embryonic stem cell-derived motor neurons (mESC-MNs) provide an excellent model for high-throughput pheno- typic screening. Our group has previously developed a BAC transgenic mESC-MN model that expresses TDP-43WT or TDP-43 M337V at low levels. In this model, TDP-43 M337V mESC-MNs have previously been shown to demonstrate altered TDP-43 interactions, dysregulated stress granule char-acteristics and reduced survival in response to oxidative stress compared to TDP-43WT controls (1,2). Objectives: In this study, we aim to investigate cellular energy metabolism and axonal transport in TDP-43 M337V mESC-MNs compared to controls, and to examine the effects of a pro-survival drug on these pathways. Methods: Mouse ESCs were expanded as embryoid bodies and differentiated to MNs (1). Mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis were examined in unstressed and oxidative stress environments, using the Seahorse XF Analyser. To investigate axonal transport, mESCs were seeded into microfluidic cham- bers and incubated with MitoTracker, then imaged with live cell microscopy. To examine the effects of a pro-survival drug on cellular metabolism, mESC-MNs were treated with the drug at optimised concentrations 24-hours prior to analysis. Results: Analysis revealed no differences in cellular energy metabolism in unstressed conditions, however following oxidative stress we observed a significant reduction in glycolysis and mitochondrial spare respiratory capacity in TDP-43 M337V mESC-MNs relative to TDP-43WT controls. Following oxidative stress, treatment with a pro-survival drug signifi- cantly increased glycolysis and reduced mitochondrial respiration in TDP-43 M337V mESC-MNs. The speed of mitochondrial transport in TDP-43 M337V mESC-MNs was significantly reduced compared to TDP-43WT controls in unstressed conditions. Conclusions: Here we identify metabolic dysregulation following oxidative stress and impaired axonal transport in TDP- 43 M337V mESC-MNs. Treatment with a pro-survival drug leads to a significant increase in basal glycolysis accompanied by a significant decrease in basal respiration, suggesting this drug may induce neuroprotective effects through inducing a metabolic shift. Background: Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) have been associated with sporadic and familial forms of ALS and FTD (1,2). TBK1 is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine protein kinase central to numerous cellular signalling pathways, including autophagy and immune signalling. Whilst cell autonomous dysfunction in neurons has been shown to contribute to ALS/FTD pathogenesis following TBK1 haploinsufficiency, the impact of TBK1 loss-of-function in microglia is less well understood. TBK1 is highly expressed in microglia, has an established role in the peripheral innate immune system, and interacts with other key ALS/FTD-associated genes, suggesting that disease-associated TBK1 mutations may cause microglial dysfunction in ALS/FTD.

摘要

淀粉样蛋白/肽的聚集与几种淀粉样疾病的发生和发展有关,包括神经退行性疾病,如阿尔茨海默病或帕金森病。近年来,人们观察到这些蛋白质分子之间的交叉相互作用可能是淀粉样蛋白聚集体形成的主要影响因素之一。这首先是由患者神经组织中淀粉样蛋白斑块中存在的不同蛋白质提出的。虽然阿尔茨海默病相关的淀粉样蛋白β和tau蛋白之间的交叉相互作用在许多病例中都有记录(1,2),但缺乏关于其他蛋白质聚集的信息。这项工作中检测到的一种配对是超氧化物歧化酶-1(SOD1,与肌萎缩侧索硬化症有关)和朊病毒蛋白(PrP,与朊病毒病有关)。它们都有一个体内定位,只有一份关于SOD1对PrP(3)聚集的影响的报告,这促使了这项研究。为了研究非聚集的SOD1对朊病毒蛋白原纤维形成的影响,选择了不促进聚集SOD1,同时积极促进PrP原纤维化的条件。使用不同的SOD1浓度对大量样品进行分析,以确定蛋白质交叉相互作用是否引起显著影响。使用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和原子力显微镜(AFM)对所得原纤维进行检查。在每种条件之间比较从每种测定获得的参数,以确定SOD1对PrP聚集的影响的显著性。发现SOD1的存在增加了PrP原纤维形成的滞后时间并降低了它们的表观复制速率。还有背景:补体级联是免疫系统的关键组成部分,其激活与ALS有关(1)。此外,据报道,补体级联成分(如C3分解产物)沉积在神经肌肉接头(NMJ)上,NMJ数量恢复到ND对照的76.1%,疲劳指数从hCS恢复到30.1%。在TDP-43 NMJ中,hCS使NMJ数量减少了ND对照的82.9%,疲劳指数增加了22.8%(刺激频率为2Hz),而添加培西酞普兰使NMJ数恢复到ND对照的60.5%,疲劳指数从hCS恢复到9%。此外,在聚乙二醇乙酮普兰处理后,SOD-1 NMJ的保真度增加,在TDP-43 NMJ中保持稳定。结论:这些数据表明,在炎症环境中用培西他普兰抑制C3可以提高NMJ的整体存活率和功能。背景:神经炎症在肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)的发生和发展中起着重要作用,目前尚无有效的治疗方法。肽基丙基顺式/反式异构酶A(PPIA),也称为背景:RNA结合蛋白(RBPs)与mRNA组装成细胞质复合物,以控制mRNA的局部翻译和轴突运输。这些过程对维持神经元存活至关重要,它们的损伤与许多神经退行性疾病的发展有关,如ALS(1)。我们发现,与ALS相关的TDP-43耗竭驱动异质性核核糖核酸蛋白A1(hnRNP A1)的另一种天然剪接变体的积累,(2)。这种亚型被称为hnRNP A1B,具有细长的朊病毒样结构域(PrLD),存在于神经元过程中,而hnRNP A1不存在(3)。这一发现支持了一种假设,即hnRNP A1B可能在神经元中具有与hnRNP A1不共享的胞浆功能。此外,hnRNP A1和hnRNP A1B在家族性ALS的罕见病例中发生突变,其中一些突变是hnRNP AlB特有的。到目前为止,文献主要集中在hnRNPA1异构体上,而对hnRNP A1B功能知之甚少。由于RNA结合蛋白在信使核糖核酸过程中的关键作用,需要更深入地了解它们的功能,以阐明它们对生理学和病理学的贡献。目的:鉴定和表征运动神经元中hnRNP A1B的细胞质功能及其在ALS中的潜在损伤。方法:神经元变性被认为是中枢神经系统疾病(如硬化症)致残和进展的主要驱动因素,这些RNA结合的成功标志着这些疾病的病理学,即蛋白质病。融合肉瘤(FUS)是一种细胞核RBP,是指将病理内含物转化为生理颗粒,使细胞稳态至神经元细胞死亡。FUS的突变——其C末端核定位——在模型细胞系中的常染色体显性遗传及其细胞质信号传导涉及过表达。方法:我们使用BioID2近端标记技术利用生物素连接酶对近端内源性蛋白质进行生物素化的能力。 我们证明了TBK1激酶功能的丧失导致小胶质细胞以细胞自主方式失调,并揭示了新的失调途径

Theme 03 - In Vitro Experimental Models
The aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins/peptides is asso- ciated with the onset and progression of several amyloidoses, including neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer ‘ s or Parkinson ‘ s diseases. In recent years, it has been observed that the cross-interaction between these protein molecules may be one of the main influences for amyloid aggregate formation. This was first suggested by the presence of different proteins in amyloid plaques found in the nervous tissue of patients. While the cross-interaction between Alzheimer ‘ s disease-related amyloid-beta and tau protein is documented in numerous cases (1,2), there is a lack of information on other protein coaggregation. One such paring, which was examined in this work, was superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1, related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and prion protein (PrP, relation to prionopathies). Both of them share a localisation in vivo and there was only a single report regarding the influence that SOD1 had on the aggregation of PrP (3), which prompted this investigation. In order to investigate the influence of non-aggregated SOD1 on prion protein fibril formation, conditions were chosen which did not facilitate the aggregation SOD1, while actively promoting the fibrilization of PrP. A large number of samples was analyzed using different SOD1 concentrations to determine if there was a notable effect induced by the pro- tein cross-interaction. The resulting fibrils were examined using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Parameters obtained from each assay were compared between each condition to determine the significance of SOD1 influence on PrP aggregation. It was discovered that the presence of SOD1 increased the lag time of PrP fibril formation and reduced their apparent rate of replication. There was also Background: The complement cascade is a critical compo-nent of the immune system, and its activation has been implicated in ALS (1). Furthermore, complement cascade components (e.g. C3 breakdown products) are reported to be deposited on the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) in people living with restored NMJ numbers to 76.1% of the ND control and fatigue index by 30.1% from hCS.

Results: Analysis revealed no differences in cellular energy metabolism in unstressed conditions, however following oxidative stress we observed a significant reduction in glycolysis and mitochondrial spare respiratory capacity in TDP-43 M337V mESC-MNs relative to TDP-43WT controls. Following oxidative stress, treatment with a pro-survival drug signifi- cantly increased glycolysis and reduced mitochondrial respiration in TDP-43 M337V mESC-MNs. The speed of mitochondrial transport in TDP-43 M337V mESC-MNs was significantly reduced compared to TDP-43WT controls in unstressed conditions. Conclusions: Here we identify metabolic dysregulation following oxidative stress and impaired axonal transport in TDP- 43 M337V mESC-MNs. Treatment with a pro-survival drug leads to a significant increase in basal glycolysis accompanied by a significant decrease in basal respiration, suggesting this drug may induce neuroprotective effects through inducing a metabolic shift. Background: Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) have been associated with sporadic and familial forms of ALS and FTD (1,2). TBK1 is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine protein kinase central to numerous cellular signalling pathways, including autophagy and immune signalling. Whilst cell autonomous dysfunction in neurons has been shown to contribute to ALS/FTD pathogenesis following TBK1 haploinsufficiency, the impact of TBK1 loss-of-function in microglia is less well understood. TBK1 is highly expressed in microglia, has an established role in the peripheral innate immune system, and interacts with other key ALS/FTD-associated genes, suggesting that disease-associated TBK1 mutations may cause microglial dysfunction in ALS/FTD. Objectives: We aim to investigate the molecular function of TBK1 in microglia and understand how ALS/FTD-associated TBK1 mutations may intrinsically impair microglial function to drive disease pathogenesis. Methods: To investigate the cell autonomous impact of TBK1 haploinsufficiency in microglia, we conducted TMT-based LC-MS/MS bulk proteomics of human HMC3 microglia treated TBK1 inhibitor GSK8612 Key dysregulated in human microglia, mouse BV2 microglia and human pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia. value Gene ontology enrichment and protein-protein interaction analysis of up- and downre- gulated protein sets highlighted significant dysregulation of interferon signalling, as well as deficits in phagocytosis, anti-gen presentation and the damage response. deficits in the type I interferon response confirmed, IRF3 and attenuated induction of IRF3-regulated genes (e.g. following TBK1 kinase inhibition. pHrodo-conjugated E. bioparticles to be impaired.

期刊介绍: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Degeneration is an exciting new initiative. It represents a timely expansion of the journal Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in response to the clinical, imaging pathological and genetic overlap between ALS and frontotemporal dementia. The expanded journal provides outstanding coverage of research in a wide range of issues related to motor neuron diseases, especially ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and cognitive decline associated with frontotemporal degeneration. The journal also covers related disorders of the neuroaxis when relevant to these core conditions.
