TL;DR

It is shown that oligodendroglial Cit-k loss and the resulting hypomyelination are sufficient to produce long-lasting neurological and behavioral impairments independently of primary neuronal defects.

Ficd loss rescues motor impairments and reverses oligodendrocyte maturation deficits in a mouse model of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is an inherited, fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by a pathological CAG repeat expansion in the ATXN3 gene, resulting in the selective degeneration of vulnerable neuronal populations. Recent work has identified impairments in oligodendrocyte maturation as a novel and robust feature of SCA3 pathogenesis. Oligodendrocytes synthesize myelin structural components through the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), rendering this organelle essential for white matter integrity. Despite this, the role of ER function in SCA3 remains unclear. In this study, we show that loss of FICD-mediated AMPylation, a post-translational modification regulating the ER-resident HSP70 chaperone, BiP, rescues motor impairments in a transgenic SCA3 mouse model. Ficd-/- SCA3 mice exhibit significantly reduced levels of nuclear ATXN3 in vulnerable brain regions, while Ficd+/+ littermates show an increased burden of AMPylated BiP in the spinal cord, identifying aberrant AMPylation as a novel contributor of SCA3 pathology. Using unbiased proteomics, we demonstrate that Ficd deletion mitigates the pathological decrease in myelin structural proteins and oligodendrocyte maturation factors, restoring levels of mature, myelinating oligodendrocytes. In parallel, we show that Ficd activates SREBP2-dependent cholesterol biosynthesis to support myelination. Taken as a whole, these findings posit ER homeostasis as a critical driver of oligodendrocyte pathology and identify FICD as a novel target for alleviating non-neuronal toxicity in SCA3.

Characterization of Astrocyte Density in the Pitt–Hopkins Syndrome Mouse Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Germline heterozygous TCF4 LOF, which models PTHS, does not appear to significantly affect the astrocyte lineage at the cell population level, and germline heterozygous Tcf4 LOF did not result in misallocation of ventrally derived astrocytes into the dorsal cortex.

Hyperexcitability in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells OF Fmr1 knockout mice emerges during late postnatal development.

It is concluded that CA1 PCs hyperexcitability from Frm1 KO mice was detectable at late postnatal development (P21-28), but not earlier (P8-15), and was due to a shifting of action potential voltage threshold to more hyperpolarized values.

Oligodendroglial TANGO2 Regulates Lipid Metabolism to Control Motor Coordination.

TANGO2 deficiency disorder (TDD) is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the TANGO2 gene, characterized by prominent neurological symptoms. However, the pathological mechanisms underlying TANGO2 loss-of-function in neurologic symptoms remain unknown. Here, we generated constitutive and cell-type-specific Tango2 knockout mouse models to examine TANGO2's role in the central nervous system (CNS). Behavioral analyses revealed that both constitutive and oligodendrocyte-specific deletion of Tango2 recapitulate the motor deficits associated with individuals with TDD. Morphological quantifications further showed that Tango2 deletion led to robust cerebellar myelin loss and an increase in synapse number in the cerebellar cortex. In addition, transcriptional analysis and lipidomic profiling demonstrated that Tango2 deletion downregulated key processes involved in phospholipid metabolism. Significantly, vitamin B5 supplementation alleviated motor deficits and cerebellar myelin defects in Tango2 knockout mice. Overall, our findings establish that TANGO2 is essential for maintaining normal motor behaviors by regulating lipid metabolism in oligodendroglia.

SYNGAP1 haploinsufficiency disrupts early neurodevelopment and accelerates intrinsic neuronal maturation in human patient-derived models

It is demonstrated that SYNGAP1 haploinsufficiency disrupts early human brain development and accelerates intrinsic neuronal maturation, with pathogenic mechanisms emerging before synaptogenesis and extending beyond SYNGAP1’s established synaptic role.

The deficiency of KIF2C leads to abnormal distribution of cortical neurons and behavioral deficits in mice

This study indicates that KIF2C may regulate microtubule dynamics to control deep-layer cortical neuron number and organization and modulate neuronal projections and signaling pathways and provides a foundation for understanding the role of KIF2C in neural development.
