Identifying modifiers of seed-induced TDP-43 loss of function

GSE285224 Homo sapiens Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing 9 samples Submitted 2025/02/20 Platform GPL34284

Summary

Both gain of toxicity and loss of normal function of the RNA-binding protein TDP-43 contribute to neurodegeneration in ALS and FTD, but their mechanistic connection remains unclear. Increasing evidence suggests that TDP-43 aggregates act as self-templating seeds, propagating pathology through the central nervous system via a prion-like cascade. We developed a robust TDP-43 seeding platform for quantitative, high-throughput assessment of TDP-43 aggregate uptake, cell-to-cell spreading and direct quantification of TDP-43 nuclear function within living cells, while they progress towards pathology. We show that both patient-derived and recombinant TDP-43 pathological aggregates are abundantly internalized in human neuron-like cells, efficiently recruit endogenous TDP-43 and form cytoplasmic inclusions reminiscent of ALS/FTD pathology. These neoaggregates progressively drive the nuclear egress of TDP-43 leading to its loss of function. The scope of this project is to identify the signatures involved in the progressive egress of TDP-43 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
