abstract = {A massive expansion of a GGGGCC repeat upstream of the
C9orf72 coding region is the most common known cause of
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia.
Despite its intronic localization and lack of a canonical
start codon, both strands are translated into aggregating
dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins: poly-GA, poly-GP, poly-GR,
poly-PR and poly-PA. To address conflicting findings on the
predominant toxicity of the different DPR species in model
systems, we compared the expression pattern of the DPR
proteins in rat primary neurons and postmortem brain and
spinal cord of C9orf72 mutation patients. Only poly-GA
overexpression closely mimicked the p62-positive neuronal
cytoplasmic inclusions commonly observed for all DPR
proteins in patients. In contrast, overexpressed poly-GR and
poly-PR formed nucleolar p62-negative inclusions. In
patients, most of the less common neuronal intranuclear DPR
inclusions were para-nucleolar and p62 positive. Neuronal
nucleoli in C9orf72 cases showed normal size and morphology
regardless of the presence of poly-GR and poly-PR inclusions
arguing against widespread nucleolar stress, reported in
cellular models. Colocalization of para-nucleolar DPR
inclusions with heterochromatin and a marker of
transcriptional repression (H3K9me2) indicates a link to
gene transcription. In contrast, we detected numerous
intranuclear DPR inclusions not associated with nucleolar
structures in ependymal and subependymal cells. In patients,
neuronal inclusions of poly-GR, poly-GP and the poly-GA
interacting protein Unc119 were less abundant than poly-GA
inclusions, but showed similar regional and subcellular
distribution. Regardless of neurodegeneration, all
inclusions were most abundant in neocortex, hippocampus and
thalamus, with few inclusions in brain stem and spinal cord.
In the granular cell layer of the cerebellum, poly-GA and
Unc119 inclusions were significantly more abundant in cases
with FTLD than in cases with MND and FTLD/MND. Poly-PR
inclusions were rare throughout the brain but significantly
more abundant in the CA3/4 region of FTLD cases than in MND
cases. Thus, although DPR distribution is not correlated
with neurodegeneration spatially, it correlates with
neuropathological subtypes.},
