亨丁頓式舞蹈症(Huntington’s disease, HD)為一種遺傳性神經退化疾病,由亨廷頓基因(Huntingtin, HTT)外顯子1(exon 1)的CAG重複擴增引起,導致細胞內不正常堆積突變蛋白進而造成神經退化。蛋白質降解系統和神經元傳輸系統對於神經元的維持和功能至關重要,這些途徑的破壞將導致神經退化性疾病。過去已發現染色體9號開放讀序框架72 蛋白(C9orf72)參與在這些途徑當中,並且C9orf72的突變也被參與在好幾種神經退化性疾病當中。然而,野生型C9orf72在HD中的作用仍不清楚。本研究的目標旨在研究C9orf72在HD中的影響。首先,我們通過生物資訊分析發現,HD患者血液樣本中C9orf72的表現量與正常人相比是較高的,並且在HD基因轉殖小鼠中觀察到相似的結果。接下來,我們發現C9orf72的過表達誘導了突變HTT聚集體的形成,但不會在神經母細胞瘤-2a(N2a)細胞中引起神經毒性。此外,我們發現C9orf72的過表達不影響自噬系統(autophagy)和 泛素-蛋白酶體系統(ubiquitin-proteasome system; UPS)。因此,我們進一步分析了軸突運輸的功能,並證明C9orf72會損害神經元的運輸。最後,我們也成功建立了C9orf72基因轉殖小鼠。同時,我們將C9orf72慢病毒立體定位注射到HD小鼠的紋狀體區域中,並發現C9orf72在紋狀體區域中有造成突變HTT增加的趨勢。綜合上述結果,我們的研究證明C9orf72誘導突變HTT聚集並導致軸突運輸功能的障礙。在我們未來的計劃中,我們希望可以更進一步瞭解C9orf72在神經元運輸的詳細機制,並會繼續建立 C9orf72-HD 雙基因轉殖小鼠,以便進一步分析C9orf72在活體對HD的影響。我們預計這項研究將更加瞭解致病過程,並為該疾病提供新的治療方向。
Huntington’s disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder and caused by CAG repeat expansions at exon 1 of the huntingtin (HTT) gene that results in intracellular aggregate formations and neurodegeneration. Protein degradation systems and neuronal transports are crucial for the maintenance and functions of a neuron, and the impairments of these functions have been observed in neurological diseases. Chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72) has been found to be involved in those functions, and the mutation of C9orf72 is observed in several neurodegenerative diseases. However, the role of wild-type C9orf72 in HD is still unclear. The goal of this study aims to investigate the effects of C9orf72 in HD models. Here, we found that the expression level of C9orf72 was higher in blood samples of HD patients compared to those of normal people via bioinformatic analyses, and similar results were observed in HD transgenic mice. Next, we found that overexpression of C9orf72 induced mHTT aggregate formations ,but did not cause neurotoxicity in N2a cells. . Furthermore, we found overexpression of C9orf72 did not affect the autophagy and ubiquitin–proteasome systems. Thus, we further analyzed the functions of axonal transport, and showed that C9orf72 impaired the neuronal transportation. Finally, we generated the C9orf72 transgenic mice. At the same time, we used stereotaxical injection of C9orf72 lentiviruses into the brains of the HD mouse model and observed C9orf72 causes a tendency of increased mHTT in striatum regions. In summary, our studies showed that C9orf72 induced mHTT aggregates and led to axonal transport dysfunctions. In our future work, we will not only address on the detailed mechanisms of neuronal transportation, but also generate the C9orf72-HD double transgenic mice for further analyses related to HD phenotypes in vivo. We anticipate that this study will shed light on the entire disease process and provide the novel therapy for the disease.
