Ribosomal profiling during prion disease uncovers progressive translational derangement in glia but not in neurons
Prion diseases are caused by PrP(Sc), a self-replicating pathologically misfolded protein that exerts toxicity predominantly in the brain. The administration of PrP(Sc) causes a robust, reproducible and specific disease manifestation. Here, we have applied a combination of translating ribosome affin...

description | Prion diseases are caused by PrP(Sc), a self-replicating pathologically misfolded protein that exerts toxicity predominantly in the brain. The administration of PrP(Sc) causes a robust, reproducible and specific disease manifestation. Here, we have applied a combination of translating ribosome affinity purification and ribosome profiling to identify biologically relevant prion-induced changes during disease progression in a cell-type-specific and genome-wide manner. Terminally diseased mice with severe neurological symptoms showed extensive alterations in astrocytes and microglia. Surprisingly, we detected only minor changes in the translational profiles of neurons. Prion-induced alterations in glia overlapped with those identified in other neurodegenerative diseases, suggesting that similar events occur in a broad spectrum of pathologies. Our results suggest that aberrant translation within glia may suffice to cause severe neurological symptoms and may even be the primary driver of prion disease. |
