项目摘要

TDP-43 proteinopathy is a hallmark neuropathology among an array of neurodegenerative disorders, including ALS, FTD, and Alzheimer’s Disease to name a few. Common presentation of TDP-43 proteinopathy includes the mislocalization of TDP-43 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, disrupting its known function as an RNA-binding protein (RBP). This mislocalization alters global transcriptional dysregulation, such as the increase of cryptic exon expression, as well as effecting local translation of RNAs. Recent studies suggests that TDP-43 is actively transported into the axon, mediated by endolysosomal hitch-hiking on kinesin motors, which is perturbed in neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, the transport and axonal translation of RNA is important for neuronal function and axon maintenance. Preliminary data from our lab and existing literature, suggests that KIF1A might be a candidate kinesin-motor which facilitates the transport of TDP-43 into the axon. Here, we hypothesize that TDP-43 transports RNA to the axon to facilitate local translation through KIF1A protein, which is perturbed in ALS. The resultant loss of functional TDP- 43 in the axon prevents the localization of key transcripts necessary for de novo protein synthesis and maintenance of the axon. Downstream consequences of this pathogenic event involve the perturbance of the axonal proteotranscriptome, loss of proteostasis, and functional deficits that would otherwise support axon integrity.

TDP-43蛋白病是一系列神经退行性疾病中的标志性神经病理学疾病，包括 ALS、FTD 和阿尔茨海默病等。 TDP-43 蛋白病包括 TDP-43 从细胞核错误定位到细胞质，这种错误定位会破坏其作为 RNA 结合蛋白 (RBP) 的已知功能。转录失调，例如隐秘外显子表达的增加，以及影响最近的研究表明 TDP-43 被主动转运到轴突，由驱动蛋白马达上的溶酶体搭便车介导，该马达在此外，RNA 的运输和轴突翻译也很重要。用于神经功能和轴突维护的初步数据，来自我们的实验室和现有文献，表明 KIF1A 可能是促进 TDP-43 转运的候选驱动蛋白马达在这里，我们努力将 TDP-43 转运至轴突以促进局部化。通过 KIF1A 蛋白进行翻译，该蛋白在 ALS 中受到干扰，从而导致功能性 TDP- 的丧失。轴突中的 43 阻止蛋白质从头合成所需的关键转录本的定位这种致病事件的下游后果涉及：轴突蛋白质转录组的扰动、蛋白质稳态的丧失和功能缺陷否则将支持轴突完整性。
