TDP-43 proteinopathy is a pathological hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia where cytoplasmic TDP-43 inclusions are observed within degenerating regions of patient postmortem tissue. The mechanism by which TDP-43 aggregates has remained elusive due to technological limitations, which prevent the analysis of specific TDP-43 interactions in live cells. We present an optogenetic approach to reliably induce TDP-43 proteinopathy under spatiotemporal control. We show that the formation of pathologically relevant inclusions is driven by aberrant interactions between low-complexity domains of TDP-43 that are antagonized by RNA binding. Although stress granules are hypothesized to be a conduit for seeding TDP-43 proteinopathy, we demonstrate pathological inclusions outside these RNA-rich structures. Furthermore, we show that aberrant phase transitions of cytoplasmic TDP-43 are neurotoxic and that treatment with oligonucleotides composed of TDP-43 target sequences prevent inclusions and rescue neurotoxicity. Collectively, these studies provide insight into the mechanisms that underlie TDP-43 proteinopathy and present a potential avenue for therapeutic intervention.

RNA 结合拮抗 TDP-43 的神经毒性相变

TDP-43 蛋白病是肌萎缩性侧索硬化和额颞叶痴呆的病理学标志,其中在患者尸检组织的退化区域内观察到细胞质 TDP-43 内含物。由于技术限制,TDP-43 聚集的机制仍然难以捉摸,这阻碍了对活细胞中特定 TDP-43 相互作用的分析。我们提出了一种在时空控制下可靠地诱导 TDP-43 蛋白病的光遗传学方法。我们表明,病理相关内含物的形成是由 TDP-43 的低复杂性结构域之间的异常相互作用驱动的,这些结构域被 RNA 结合所拮抗。尽管应激颗粒被假设为播种 TDP-43 蛋白病的管道,但我们证明了这些富含 RNA 的结构之外的病理内含物。此外,我们表明细胞质 TDP-43 的异常相变具有神经毒性,并且使用由 TDP-43 靶序列组成的寡核苷酸进行治疗可防止内含物并挽救神经毒性。总的来说,这些研究提供了对 TDP-43 蛋白病潜在机制的深入了解,并提供了治疗干预的潜在途径。
