- Bipolar disorder is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Although the heritability of bipolar disorder is among the highest of all neuropsychiatric disorders, the specific genetic etiologies for most affected individuals have remained elusive. This is due, in part, to difficulty confirming pathogenicity of genomic variants identified in bipolar disorder populations. From the Bipolar Exomes Browser (BipEX) project, we identified three missense variants in in four individuals with bipolar disorder not found in controls. We used a overexpression system to evaluate these bipolar disorder-associated variants in . We determined that when bipolar disorder-associated variants are expressed in fruit flies, synaptic neurotransmission, endolysosomal trafficking, viability, survival and wing morphology are all disrupted. We confirmed that certain bipolar disorder-associated variants also disrupt early endosomal trafficking in mammalian cells. This confirms bipolar disorder-associated variants in disrupt its normal function. Moreover, is a viable experimental system to test the pathogenicity of genomic variants associated with psychiatric disorders. - Source: PubMed

Although breeding resistant strains is a promising strategy, the molecular basis of disease resistance in this host remains poorly understood. Here, 1500 fish were artificially infected, and extreme phenotypes (30 resistant, RL; 30 susceptible, SL) were selected based on survival time and liver pathogen load. Liver histopathology revealed that RL fish maintained intact architecture with only mild vacuolation, whereas SL fish exhibited widespread necrosis, inflammation, and hemosiderin deposition. Consistently, RL fish showed lower MDA levels and higher GSH-Px activity and TAC. Transcriptomic analysis identified 172 differentially expressed genes (DEGs): RL fish were characterized by upregulation of anti-inflammatory and tissue-protective genes (, ) and downregulation of pro-coagulant factors (, ). Proteomic analysis identified 111 differentially expressed proteins, with significantly enriched pathways including the peroxisome, pentose phosphate, and phagosome pathways. Integrated cross-omics analysis revealed eight co-enriched KEGG pathways; among them, arginine/proline metabolism, phagosome, oxidative phosphorylation, and focal adhesion were consistently upregulated in the RL group. These findings suggest that effective resistance to VWND in may involve a coordinated, multi-layered defense program encompassing redox balance, regulated immune responses, metabolic reprogramming, and cellular homeostasis. Cross-omics-supported candidate factors (e.g., , COX6B, RAB5A, ) represent promising targets for functional validation via DNA-level experiments in independent sample sets, and the prominent enrichment of arginine-proline metabolism indicates a potential target for dietary intervention that merits further investigation. - Source: PubMed

Ye TingZhu JiajieLiang XiaoGuo DandanZhou YilianLou BaoLiu Feng - Neurodegenerative tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease, appear to be driven by propagation of tau assemblies, which must access the cytoplasm to recruit monomer and self-replicate, a process termed "seeding." The prevailing model holds that tau seeds enter cells via macropinocytosis and reach the cytosol through lysosomal rupture or micro-perforation. Our findings revise this model by revealing that endocytosis is not required for seeding. Using genome-scale CRISPR screening, we identified multiple v-ATPase components whose loss reduced tau uptake (measured by flow cytometry) yet paradoxically increased seeding (measured by FRET biosensors). Acute v-ATPase inhibition with bafilomycin A1 produced the same effect in v2L tau biosensors and iPSC-derived neurons. Among regulators of endosome maturation, dominant-negative Rab5a decreased internalization while enhancing cytoplasmic templating. Cholesterol depletion produced identical results. Strikingly, transient hypothermia eliminated virtually all detectable tau uptake and dramatically increased seeding, without affecting subsequent tau monomer or aggregate degradation. We conclude that efficient endolysosomal trafficking does not appear to be required for cytoplasmic seeding under the conditions studied here. Across diverse perturbations, reduced endolysosomal flux consistently enhanced tau seeding, consistent with prior work indicating that most internalized aggregates are routed toward degradation rather than amplification. To seed effectively, tau must cross the plasma or vesicular membranes into the cytoplasm. We have found that proper endolysosomal trafficking suppresses cytoplasmic tau seeding, as all perturbations augmented this process. These findings reframe the role of the endolysosomal system in tau seeding and identify membrane transit rather than macropinocytosis itself as a critical gateway to cytoplasmic tau amplification. - Source: PubMed

Dodd Dana ALaCroix Michael SValdez ClarissaMendoza-Oliva AydeBeaver Joshua DVega Anthony RKumar AshwaniXing ChaoWhite Charles LDiamond Marc I - Major depressive disorder (MDD) and schizophrenia (SCZ) are severe psychiatric disorders, the molecular mechanisms of which remain incompletely understood. Increasing evidence implicates neuroinflammatory signaling, autophagy dysregulation, and unfolded protein response (UPR) alterations in their pathophysiology. Here, we analyzed dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) samples from postmortem human brains of 28 MDD subjects, 28 SCZ subjects, and 28 matched controls. Gene expression levels of key inflammatory, autophagy, and UPR-related markers were assessed by RT-qPCR, while selected proteins were quantified by Western blot and ELISA. Logistic and linear regression models were applied to evaluate disease-associated alterations and the influence of sex, age, and cause of death. Transcriptional analyses revealed pathway-specific alterations in both disorders, with IRE1α emerging as the most consistently upregulated marker across MDD and SCZ. Sex-stratified analyses indicated that risk-associated transcriptional changes were more prominent in men with MDD, whereas women with SCZ showed broader transcriptional alterations. Age-related effects were mainly detected at the mRNA level, particularly in autophagy-related genes. In contrast, protein analyses showed a generalized downregulation of several inflammatory (AIM2, NLRP3), autophagy (ATG7, mTOR, RAB5A), and UPR-related (IRE1α) proteins in both disorders. In SCZ subjects who died by suicide, increased IL18, CASPASE-5, and IRE1α transcription, together with increased CASPASE-8 protein levels, suggested enhanced inflammatory and stress-related signaling. Overall, these findings reveal a marked transcription-protein dissociation in key cellular stress pathways in the DLPFC of MDD and SCZ subjects, supporting multilayer regulation of inflammatory, autophagy-related, and UPR responses in the psychiatric brain. - Source: PubMed
