Hypotheses from Same Analysis (8)
These hypotheses emerged from the same multi-agent debate that produced this hypothesis.
Description
Molecular Mechanism and Rationale
ALOX15 (15-lipoxygenase) catalyzes the stereospecific oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) esterified to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) at the sn-2 position, generating 15-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid-PE (15-HpETE-PE) and other lipid hydroperoxides that serve as initiating signals for ferroptosis. In oligodendrocytes, which maintain exceptionally high PUFA-PE content due to myelin membrane biosynthetic requirements, ALOX15 activity is amplified by calcium-dependent conformational changes following NMDA receptor activation and subsequent calmodulin binding.

Ferroptosis is a form of regulated necrotic cell death controlled by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). At present, mechanisms that could predict sensitivity and/or resistance and that may be exploited to modulate ferroptosis are needed. We applied two independent approaches-a genome-wide CRISPR-based genetic screen and microarray analysis of ferroptosis-resistant cell lines-to uncover acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) as an essential component for ferroptosis execution. Speci
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a detrimental neurodegenerative disease with no effective treatments. Due to cellular heterogeneity, defining the roles of immune cell subsets in AD onset and progression has been challenging. Using transcriptional single-cell sorting, we comprehensively map all immune populations in wild-type and AD-transgenic (Tg-AD) mouse brains. We describe a novel microglia type associated with neurodegenerative diseases (DAM) and identify markers, spatial localization, and pathw

Variation in cytoarchitecture is the basis for the histological definition of cortical areas. We used single cell transcriptomics and performed cellular characterization of the human cortex to better understand cortical areal specialization. Single-nucleus RNA-sequencing of 8 areas spanning cortical structural variation showed a highly consistent cellular makeup for 24 cell subclasses. However, proportions of excitatory neuron subclasses varied substantially, likely reflecting differences in con
Emerging evidence suggests that the excessive accumulation of iron in subcortical and deep gray matter has been related to dementia. However, the presence and pattern of iron accumulation in vascular dementia (VaD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are rarely investigated. To examine and compare the pattern and presence of brain iron accumulation of VaD and AD using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). Twelve patients with VaD, 27 patients with AD, and 18 control subjects were recruited in this
Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), an antioxidant defense enzyme active in repairing oxidative damage to lipids, is a key inhibitor of ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic form of cell death involving lipid reactive oxygen species. Here we show that GPX4 is essential for motor neuron health and survival in vivo. Conditional ablation of Gpx4 in neurons of adult mice resulted in rapid onset and progression of paralysis and death. Pathological inspection revealed that the paralyzed mice had a dramatic degene
In human embryos, the initiation of transcription (embryonic genome activation [EGA]) occurs by the eight-cell stage, but its exact timing and profile are unclear. To address this, we profiled gene expression at depth in human metaphase II oocytes and bipronuclear (2PN) one-cell embryos. High-resolution single-cell RNA sequencing revealed previously inaccessible oocyte-to-embryo gene expression changes. This confirmed transcript depletion following fertilization (maternal RNA degradation) but al
Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death driven by toxic lipid peroxide accumulation, plays a critical role in various diseases, making its modulation a promising therapeutic strategy. In this study, we identified defactinib, a specific inhibitor of FAK as a novel ferroptosis suppressors. We demonstrate that FAK/SRC-JNK signaling positively regulates ferroptosis by upregulating ACSL4, a critical mediator of ferroptosis. We reveal that a subset of JNK downstream transcription
BackgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, memory loss and neuronal dysfunction. While amyloid-β plaques and tau tangles remain central to AD pathology, emerging evidence implicates ferroptosis, an iron-dependent, regulated form of cell death marked by lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress, as a critical contributor to disease progression.ObjectiveThis study investigates the interplay between major AD risk factors includin
Phenotyping patients using electronic health record (EHR) data conventionally requires labeled cases and controls. Assigning labels requires manual medical chart review and therefore is labor intensive. For some phenotypes, identifying gold-standard controls is prohibitive. We developed an accurate EHR phenotyping approach that does not require labeled controls. Our framework relies on a random subset of cases, which can be specified using an anchor variable that has excellent positive predictiv

Microglia are increasingly recognized for their major contributions during brain development and neurodegenerative disease. It is currently unknown whether these functions are carried out by subsets of microglia during different stages of development and adulthood or within specific brain regions. Here, we performed deep single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of microglia and related myeloid cells sorted from various regions of embryonic, early postnatal, and adult mouse brains. We found that th
Because the role of white matter (WM) degenerating microglia (DM) in remyelination failure is unclear, we sought to define the core features of this novel population of aging human microglia. We analyzed postmortem human brain tissue to define a population of DM in aging WM lesions. We used immunofluorescence staining and gene expression analysis to investigate molecular mechanisms related to the degeneration of DM. We found that DM, which accumulated myelin debris were selectively enriched in t
Disruption of cerebral iron regulation appears to have a role in aging and in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative disorders. Possible unfavorable impacts of iron accumulation include reactive oxygen species generation, induction of ferroptosis, and acceleration of inflammatory changes. Whole-brain iron-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques allow the examination of macroscopic patterns of brain iron deposits in vivo, while modern analytical methods ex vivo enable the det
Iron accumulation has been associated with the etiology and progression of multiple neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). The exact role of iron in these diseases is not fully understood, but an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death called ferroptosis could be key. Although there is substantial preclinical and clinical evidence that ferroptosis plays a role in NDD, there are still questions regarding how to target ferroptosis therapeutically, including which proteins to target, identification
Tumor cell intrinsic ferroptosis-initiating mechanisms are unknown. Here, we discover that T cell-derived interferon (IFN)γ in combination with arachidonic acid (AA) induces immunogenic tumor ferroptosis, serving as a mode of action for CD8+ T cell (CTL)-mediated tumor killing. Mechanistically, IFNγ stimulates ACSL4 and alters tumor cell lipid pattern, thereby increasing incorporations of AA into C16 and C18 acyl chain-containing phospholipids. Palmitoleic acid and oleic acid, two common C16 and
The R47H missense mutation of the TREM2 gene is a known risk factor for development of Alzheimer's Disease. In this study, we analyze the impact of the Trem2R47H mutation on specific cell types in multiple cortical and subcortical brain regions in the context of wild-type and 5xFAD mouse background. We profile 19 mouse brain sections consisting of wild-type, Trem2R47H, 5xFAD and Trem2R47H; 5xFAD genotypes using MERFISH spatial transcriptomics, a technique that enables subcellular profiling of sp

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world, and timely prevention and treatment are very important. Previously, we found that a neurodegenerative factor, Glia maturation factor-β (GMFB), was upregulated in the vitreous at a very early stage of diabetes, which may play an important role in pathogenesis. Here, we found that in a high glucose environment, large amounts of GMFB protein can be secreted in the vitreous, which translocates the ATPase ATP6V1A from t

Our results showed that cells associated with TLE phenotype were significantly increased in the fer
The structure and function of cellular and intracellular membranes are critically governed by the fatty acid (FA) composition of phospholipids (PLs), which is dynamically regulated by a network of enzymes that fine-tune lipid species according to cellular demands. In this study, we identify a mechanism through which the formation of mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes (MAMs) modulates the activity of the acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4), an enzyme t
Microglia and exosomes are intimately connected with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Multiple cell death pathways including apoptosis necroptosis and pyroptosis in Alzheimer microglia
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by extracellular aggregates of amyloid β peptides, intraneuronal tau aggregates, and neuronal death. This pathology triggers activation of microglia. Because variants of genes expressed in microglia correlate with AD risk, microglial response to pathology plausibly impacts disease course. In mouse AD models, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analyses delineated this response as progressive conversion of homeostatic microglia into disease-associated
