Abstract

Background: In previous studies of patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration due to tau (FTLD-tau) and FTLD due to TDP (FTLD-TDP), cortical volumes derived from T1-weighted MRI have been used to identify a sequence of volume loss according to arbitrary volumetric criteria. Event-based modeling (EBM) is a probabilistic, generative machine learning model that determines the characteristic sequence of changes, or “events”, occurring during disease progression. EBM also estimates an individual patient’s disease “stage” by identifying which events have already occurred. In the present study, we use an EBM analysis to derive stages of regional anatomic atrophy in FTLD-tau and FTLD-TDP, and validated these stages against pathologic burden. Methods: Sporadic autopsy-confirmed patients with FTLD-tau (N = 42) and FTLD-TDP (N = 21), and 167 healthy controls with available T1-weighted images were identified. A subset of patients had quantitative digital histopathology of cortex performed at autopsy (FTLD-tau = 30, FTLD-TDP = 17). MRI images were processed, producing regional measures of cortical volumes. K-means clustering was used to find cortical regions with similar amounts of GM volume changes (n = 5 clusters). EBM was used to determine the characteristic sequence of cortical atrophy of identified clusters in autopsy-confirmed FTLD-tau and FTLD-TDP, and estimate each patient’s disease stage by cortical volume biomarkers. Linear regressions related pathologic burden to EBM-estimated disease stages. Results: EBM for cortical volume biomarkers generated statistically robust characteristic sequences of cortical atrophy in each group of patients. Cortical volume-based EBM-estimated disease stage was associated with pathologic burden in FTLD-tau (R2 = 0.16, p = 0.017) and FTLD-TDP (R2 = 0.51, p = 0.0008). Conclusions: We provide evidence that EBM can identify sequences of pathologically-confirmed cortical atrophy in sporadic FTLD-tau and FTLD-TDP.

Abstract

Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is a heterogeneous spectrum of age-associated neurodegenerative diseases that include two main pathologic categories of tau (FTLD-Tau) and TDP-43 (FTLD-TDP) proteinopathies. These distinct proteinopathies are often clinically indistinguishable during life, posing a major obstacle for diagnosis and emerging therapeutic trials tailored to disease-specific mechanisms. Moreover, MRI-derived measures have had limited success to date discriminating between FTLD-Tau or FTLD-TDP. T2*-weighted (T2*w) ex vivo MRI has previously been shown to be sensitive to non-heme iron in healthy intracortical lamination and myelin, and to pathological iron deposits in amyloid-beta plaques and activated microglia in Alzheimer’s disease neuropathologic change (ADNC). However, an integrated, ex vivo MRI and histopathology approach is understudied in FTLD. We apply joint, whole-hemisphere ex vivo MRI at 7 T and histopathology to the study autopsy-confirmed FTLD-Tau (n = 4) and FTLD-TDP (n = 3), relative to ADNC disease-control brains with antemortem clinical symptoms of frontotemporal dementia (n = 2), and an age-matched healthy control. We detect distinct laminar patterns of novel iron-laden glial pathology in both FTLD-Tau and FTLD-TDP brains. We find iron-positive ameboid and hypertrophic microglia and astrocytes largely in deeper GM and adjacent WM in FTLD-Tau. In contrast, FTLD-TDP presents prominent superficial cortical layer iron reactivity in astrocytic processes enveloping small blood vessels with limited involvement of adjacent WM, as well as more diffuse distribution of punctate iron-rich dystrophic microglial processes across all GM lamina. This integrated MRI/histopathology approach reveals ex vivo MRI features that are consistent with these pathological observations distinguishing FTLD-Tau and FTLD-TDP subtypes, including prominent irregular hypointense signal in deeper cortex in FTLD-Tau whereas FTLD-TDP showed upper cortical layer hypointense bands and diffuse cortical speckling. Moreover, differences in adjacent WM degeneration and iron-rich gliosis on histology between FTLD-Tau and FTLD-TDP were also readily apparent on MRI as hyperintense signal and irregular areas of hypointensity, respectively that were more prominent in FTLD-Tau compared to FTLD-TDP. These unique histopathological and radiographic features were distinct from healthy control and ADNC brains, suggesting that iron-sensitive T2*w MRI, adapted to in vivo application at sufficient resolution, may eventually offer an opportunity to improve antemortem diagnosis of FTLD proteinopathies using tissue-validated methods.

Abstract

Summary: Neurodegenerative diseases are challenging for systems biology because of the lack of reliable animal models or patient samples at early disease stages. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) could address these challenges. We investigated DNA, RNA, epigenetics, and proteins in iPSC-derived motor neurons from patients with ALS carrying hexanucleotide expansions in C9ORF72. Using integrative computational methods combining all omics datasets, we identified novel and known dysregulated pathways. We used a C9ORF72 Drosophila model to distinguish pathways contributing to disease phenotypes from compensatory ones and confirmed alterations in some pathways in postmortem spinal cord tissue of patients with ALS. A different differentiation protocol was used to derive a separate set of C9ORF72 and control motor neurons. Many individual -omics differed by protocol, but some core dysregulated pathways were consistent. This strategy of analyzing patient-specific neurons provides disease-related outcomes with small numbers of heterogeneous lines and reduces variation from single-omics to elucidate network-based signatures.

Abstract

Summary: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons. While several pathogenic mutations have been identified, the vast majority of ALS cases have no family history of disease. Thus, for most ALS cases, the disease may be a product of multiple pathways contributing to varying degrees in each patient. Using machine learning algorithms, we stratify the transcriptomes of 148 ALS postmortem cortex samples into three distinct molecular subtypes. The largest cluster, identified in 61% of patient samples, displays hallmarks of oxidative and proteotoxic stress. Another 19% of the samples shows predominant signatures of glial activation. Finally, a third group (20%) exhibits high levels of retrotransposon expression and signatures of TARDBP/TDP-43 dysfunction. We further demonstrate that TDP-43 (1) directly binds a subset of retrotransposon transcripts and contributes to their silencing in vitro, and (2) pathological TDP-43 aggregation correlates with retrotransposon de-silencing in vivo. : Tam et al. present transcriptome profiling results from a large set of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patient cortex samples, finding 3 distinct groups. Two ALS subtypes are marked by gene pathways previously associated with ALS disease, while a third group shows elevated retrotransposon expression linked to TDP-43 pathology.

Abstract

Summary: Loss of the nuclear RNA binding protein TAR DNA binding protein-43 (TDP-43) into cytoplasmic aggregates is the strongest correlate to neurodegeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal degeneration. The molecular changes associated with the loss of nuclear TDP-43 in human tissues are not entirely known. Using subcellular fractionation and fluorescent-activated cell sorting to enrich for diseased neuronal nuclei without TDP-43 from post-mortem frontotemporal degeneration-amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FTD-ALS) human brain, we characterized the effects of TDP-43 loss on the transcriptome and chromatin accessibility. Nuclear TDP-43 loss is associated with gene expression changes that affect RNA processing, nucleocytoplasmic transport, histone processing, and DNA damage. Loss of nuclear TDP-43 is also associated with chromatin decondensation around long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs) and increased LINE1 DNA content. Moreover, loss of TDP-43 leads to increased retrotransposition that can be inhibited with antiretroviral drugs, suggesting that TDP-43 neuropathology is associated with altered chromatin structure including decondensation of LINEs. : Liu et al. fractionated and sorted for diseased neuronal nuclei from post-mortem FTD-ALS human brains and showed that loss of an RNA-binding protein, TDP-43, altered the transcriptome and chromatin accessibility. Their results suggest that loss of nuclear TDP-43 is associated with decondensation of LINE retrotransposons. Keywords: frontotemporal dementia, motor neuron disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, RNA, chromatin, ATAC-seq, autoregulation, splicing, histone, reverse transcriptase

Ross,27 Mina Ryten,8,28,29 Ali Torkamani,30 Toshiko Tanaka,31 Luigi Ferrucci,31 Susan M. Resnick,32 We examined the role of repeat expansions in the pathogenesis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by analyzing whole-genome sequence data from 2,442 FTD/ALS patients, 2,599 Lewy body dementia (LBD) patients, and 3,158 neurologically healthy subjects. Pathogenic expansions (range, 40?64 CAG repeats) in the huntingtin (HTT) gene were found in three (0.12%) patients diagnosed with pure FTD/ALS syndromes but were not present in the LBD or healthy cohorts. We replicated our findings in an independent collection of 3,674 FTD/ALS patients. Postmortem evaluations of two patients revealed the classical TDP-43 pathology of FTD/ALS, as well as huntingtin-positive, ubiquitin-positive aggregates in the frontal cortex. The neostriatal atrophy that pathologically defines Huntington?s disease was absent in both cases. Our findings reveal an etiological relationship between HTT repeat expansions and FTD/ALS syndromes and indicate that genetic screening of FTD/ALS patients for HTT repeat expansions should be considered.
