Expansion of an intronic (GGGGCC)n repeat within the C9ORF72 gene is the most common genetic cause of both frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (C9-FTD/ALS), characterized with aberrant repeat RNA foci and noncanonical translation-produced dipeptide repeat (DPR) protein inclusions. Here, we elucidate that the (GGGGCC)n repeat RNA co-localizes with nuclear speckles and alters their phase separation properties and granule dynamics. Moreover, the essential nuclear speckle scaffold protein SRRM2 is sequestered into the poly-GR cytoplasmic inclusions in the C9-FTD/ALS mouse model and patient postmortem tissues, exacerbating the nuclear speckle dysfunction. Impaired nuclear speckle integrity induces global exon skipping and intron retention in human iPSC-derived neurons and causes neuronal toxicity. Similar alternative splicing changes can be found in C9-FTD/ALS patient postmortem tissues. This work identified novel molecular mechanisms of global RNA splicing defects caused by impaired nuclear speckle function in C9-FTD/ALS and revealed novel potential biomarkers or therapeutic targets.

核斑点完整性的破坏使 C9ORF72-FTD/ALS 中的 RNA 剪接失调
C9ORF72 基因内含子 (GGGGCC)n 重复序列的扩增是额颞叶痴呆 (FTD) 和肌萎缩侧索硬化症 (ALS) (C9-FTD/ALS) 的最常见遗传原因,其特征是异常重复 RNA 病灶和非经典翻译产生的二肽重复序列 (DPR) 蛋白包涵体。在这里,我们阐明了 (GGGGCC)n 重复 RNA 与核斑点共定位并改变它们的相分离特性和颗粒动力学。此外,必需的核斑点支架蛋白 SRRM2 被隔离在 C9-FTD/ALS 小鼠模型和患者死后组织的 poly-GR 细胞质包涵体中,加剧了核斑点功能障碍。核斑点完整性受损会诱导人类 iPSC 衍生神经元的全局外显子跳跃和内含子保留,并导致神经元毒性。在 C9-FTD/ALS 患者死后组织中可以发现类似的选择性剪接变化。这项工作确定了 C9-FTD/ALS 中核斑点功能受损导致整体 RNA 剪接缺陷的新分子机制,并揭示了新的潜在生物标志物或治疗靶点。
