DISE contributes to neurotoxicity in Alzheimer's disease

摘要
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive neurodegeneration, but the specific events that cause cell death remain poorly understood. Death Induced by Survival gene Elimination (DISE) is a recently discovered powerful cell death mechanism mediated by short (s) RNAs including micro (mi) RNAs acting through the RNA induced silencing complex (RISC). G-rich 6mer seed sequences in the sRNAs (position 2-7) target hundreds of C-rich seed matches in genes essential for cell survival resulting in the simultaneous activation of multiple cell death pathways. Using Argonaute precipitation and RNAseq (Ago-RP-Seq) we analyzed RISC bound sRNAs (R-sRNAs) in in vitro cell line models and in the brains of two in vivo AD mouse models and aged mice. In cell line studies we find evidence for a contribution of RNAi to the cell death and DNA damage induced by toxic A{beta}42 oligomers. In addition, in AD mouse models and in the aging brain R-sRNAs RISC bound sRNAs show a shift to more toxic seeds. In contrast, in cells of "SuperAgers", individuals over age 80 who have superior memory performance, R-sRNAs are shifted to more nontoxic seeds, supporting a protective function of miRNAs. Cell death induced by A{beta}42 oligomers can be rescued by adding back protective miRNAs. Our data provide first evidence of a contribution of RNAi to the neurotoxicity and DNA damage seen in AD suggesting that increasing the levels of protective miRNAs in the brain or blocking the activity of toxic R-sRNAs could lead to a novel way of treating the disease.
