概括

在阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 的大脑中,optineurin (OPTN) 蛋白水平下降. 神经元中的OPTN损失会增加tau病理,这表明尽管与其他蛋白质具有功能冗余性,但在AD的发病过程中发挥了作用.

科学领域:

神经科学
细胞生物学
遗传学

背景情况:

奥普丁尿素 (OPTN) 是一种与神经退行性疾病有关的自适应蛋白.
阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 的特征是粉样β斑块和化 (pTau) 结,自功能受损.
在AD病理和神经元功能中,OPTN的作用在很大程度上仍未被探索.

研究的目的:

研究OPTN在神经元蛋白质稳定中的作用及其对阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 病理学的潜在贡献.
使用细胞模型分析OPTN损失对tau病理和神经元功能的影响.

主要方法:

使用诱导多能干细胞衍生的神经元 (iNs) 和星球细胞 (iAs).
使用CRISPR/Cas9生成了OPTN淘汰赛 (KO),异构体和野生类型的IN和IA.
进行蛋白质组分析以确定OPTN相互作用者和下游效应.

主要成果:

在神经元中观察到OPTN和pTau表位之间的负相关性;在AD脑组织中,OPTN蛋白的丰度下降.
在没有显著改变自或线粒体呼吸的情况下,INs中的OPTN损失增加了特定的pTau蛋白质形式.
蛋白质组分析显示OPTN相互作用体中线粒体和细胞内贩运蛋白的丰富,以及OPTN KO iNs中AD风险基因集群的上调.

结论:

在神经元的生物过程中,OPTN起到很小的作用,对AD的发病有影响.
神经元中的OPTN损失加剧了tau病理,这表明神经保护功能.
与其他自适配器的功能冗余可能解释了在完全失去OPTN时观察到的相对轻微的表型.

Neural Regulation

Neural Regulation

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

Amyloid Fibrils

Amyloid Fibrils

Amyloid fibrils are aggregates of misfolded proteins. Under most circumstances, misfolded proteins are either refolded by chaperone proteins or degraded by the proteasome. However, in the case of a mutation or a disease, these proteins can accumulate to form large clusters and often further assemble to form elongated fibers, called fibrils.
Amyloid deposits were observed as early as 1639 in the liver and the spleen. In 1854, Rudolph Virchow performed iodine staining,...
