Paper: KCNJ2 inhibition mitigates mechanical injury in a human brain organoid model of traumatic brain injuryCell stem cell · 2024

Summary (written by the submitters)

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) strongly correlates with neurodegenerative disease. However, it remains unclear which neurodegenerative mechanisms are intrinsic to the brain itself and which strategies most potently mitigate these processes, particularly in individuals genetically predisposed to neurodegeneration. We developed a high-intensity ultrasound platform to inflict mechanical injury to iPSC-derived cortical organoids.

Mechanically injured organoids elicit several classic hallmarks of TBI including neuron death, tau phosphorylation, and TDP-43 phosphorylation and nuclear egress. We found that deep layer excitatory neurons were particularly vulnerable to injury and that TDP-43 proteinopathy promotes loss-of-function and cell death. Injured organoids derived from C9ORF72 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/frontotemporal dementia (ALS/FTD) patients displayed exacerbated TDP-43 dysfunction. Using genome-wide CRISPR interference screening, we identified a mechanosensory channel, KCNJ2, whose inhibition potently mitigated neurodegenerative processes in vitro and in vivo, including in C9ORF72 ALS/FTD organoids. Thus, targeting KCNJ2 may reduce acute neuron death after brain injury, and we present a scalable, genetically-flexible cerebral organoid model that may enable identification of additional modifiers downstream of mechanical stress.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE260532_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

All supplementary files ↗ Whole study · RAW.tar ↓

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Single-cell studies usually ship their counts as 10x files (matrix.mtx, barcodes.tsv, features.tsv), an .h5 file, or an .rds / .h5ad object that Seurat or Scanpy can open. Look for those among the supplementary files.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1082007 and SRA study SRP492449. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
