Definitions
- the invention relates to means for detecting neurodegenerative processes and their applications.
- AD Alzheimer's disease
- Amyloidogenesis which results from a dysfunction of the APP protein
- DNF neurofUbrillary degeneration
- the dysfunction of the APP protein is at the very origin of Alzheimer's pathology, but it is the extension of neurofibrillary degeneration in the brain territories which is best correlated with the expression of clinical manifestations. 10 stages of invasion of neurofibrillary degeneration have been determined. The relationship between amyloid deposition and neurofibrillary degeneration is still poorly understood, but there is certainly potentiation of the tau pathology by the dysfunction of the APP protein.
- the invention is based on the demonstration of a deleterious mechanism which is associated with the process of neurofibrillary degeneration observed during Alzheimer's disease and related pathologies.
- the molecule of the respiratory chain of the mitochondria and in particular of a protein of the V complex of this respiratory chain. It is a specific localization of the protein and an insolubilization of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase which then accumulates in degenerating neurons and is closely associated with the tau protein or its polymers ( pathological filaments of neurofibrillary degeneration) observed in particular in Alzheimer's disease.
- AD46 monoclonal antibody
- This antibody recognizes pathological fibrillar clusters of DNF on the scale of optical microscopy and PHF (pairs of helical filaments) on the scale of electron microscopy ( Figures 1 and 2).
- Immunostaining is co-located with the aggregated tau proteins, which are the building blocks of DNF.
- the AD46 marking sometimes precedes the tau immunostaining of neurofibrillary degeneration, revealed by phospho-dependent and phospho-independent anti-tau antibodies.
- the labeling of the AD46 antibody being independent of the tau labeling, it demonstrates the existence of a third aggregative process, the essential component of which is the ⁇ chain of the human ATP synthase. Labeling with the AD46 antibody, which sometimes occurs before labeling tau proteins, also demonstrates that it is an early marker of the neurodegenerative process.
- the mono and two-dimensional immunoblock technique reveals that the AD46 antibody recognizes a major protein and two minor proteins in a homogenate of human brain tissue (Figure 3). These three proteins are different from tau proteins and tau protein catabolism products. Indeed, AD46 does not recognize normal and pathological tau proteins, extracted from homogenates of brain tissue from Alzheimer's patients and controls, any more than the recombinant tau proteins.
- the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase is indeed a new constituent of DNF, insofar as a polyclonal antibody directed against the ⁇ chain of recombinant ATP synthase recognizes well the human neurons in DNF (FIG. 8) optical and electronic microscopy scale.
- the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase is not indirectly and secondarily associated with DNF, but directly linked to the degenerative process. Indeed, the study of the distribution of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase in the various protein fractions of brain tissue of controls and Alzheimer's patients demonstrates that the disappearance of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase occurs gradually during installation of the DNF process ( Figures 6 and 7).
- the biological function of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase indicates that the process of neurofibrillary degeneration during Alzheimer's disease is linked, at least in part, to a singular localization and an accumulation of the protein in the cytoplasm of neurons. in neurofibrillary degeneration. Indirectly, the localization of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase could alter the process of oxidophosphorylation of the respiratory chain of the mitochondria, or initiate a process of degeneration.
- the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase is also associated with other biological functions. It could be a me bran receptor for cytokines, such as angiostatin or polypeptide II activator of endothelial cells and monocytes. It is also described in several cellular compartments, such as the plasma membrane, peroxisomes. It could also be a chaperone protein.
- the association of the ATP synthase ⁇ chain with tau protein aggregates could alter one or more of the biological functions of the ATP synthase ⁇ chain.
- the invention therefore relates to new markers of the neurodegenerative process, constituted by the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase having undergone pathological modifications resulting from said process.
- It relates more particularly to the use of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase having undergone pathological modifications resulting from a neurodegenerative process as a marker for neurodegenerative diseases, including tauopathies.
- these markers are characterized in that the modifications of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase are of the functional, localization, structural and / or antigenic type. These markers are particularly suitable for the detection of the neurodegenerative process of any pathology with a process of neurofibrillary degeneration and aggregation of the tau protein, more particularly, the neurodegenerative process of Alzheimer's disease.
- the functional, localization, structural modifications of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase presented by the markers according to the invention may be, in particular, its insolubility, its localization in the cytoplasm of the cell and / or the formation of brain aggregates. These modifications can also be conformational and / or post-translational, including maturation.
- Aggregate formation concerns the alpha chain of ATP synthase alone, or in interaction with tau proteins, to induce tauopathy, that is to say the aggregation of tau proteins.
- the invention therefore also relates to a method of detection and / or in vitro diagnosis of the neurodegenerative process, characterized in that one of the markers according to the invention is detected in a sample to be analyzed.
- the method advantageously comprises the use of sets of antibodies directed against the normal protein and / or against modifications of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase.
- the method according to the invention is particularly suitable for the detection of the degenerative process of Alzheimer's disease.
- immunochemical detection in particular by 1D and / or 2D electrophoresis coupled with an immunoblot
- revelation by polyclonal antibodies or monoclonal antibodies directed against the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase
- immuno -test and / or radioimmunoassay are varied: immunochemical detection, in particular by 1D and / or 2D electrophoresis coupled with an immunoblot, revelation by polyclonal antibodies or monoclonal antibodies directed against the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase, immuno -test and / or radioimmunoassay.
- the capture of the pathological ATP synthase alpha chain may be followed by an additional analysis by mass spectrometry: an immunocapture of the pathological ATP synthase alpha chain is then carried out and the products captured by mass spectrometry are analyzed.
- sample to be analyzed can be used: tissues or neuronal cells, tissues or non-neuronal cells, in particular biological fluids, preferably blood.
- the diagnostic method according to the invention may also include a step of evaluating the degree of the pathology by establishing an index based on the ratio between the normal rate of ATP synthase ⁇ chains in controls in a defined protein fraction, compared to the rate observed in the advanced stage of Alzheimer's disease.
- the degree of pathology can be assessed by establishing an index based on modifications of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase in a patient compared to a control.
- the detection of functional and / or localization and / or structural and / or antigenic modifications of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase in peripheral biological fluids and / or in brain tissue and / or in peripheral tissue makes it possible to carry out a early diagnostic test.
- the neuronal death that occurs during Alzheimer's disease causes the release of tau proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
- CSF cerebrospinal fluid
- the presence of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase in biological fluids, the association of which with tau proteins has been demonstrated, can therefore complement the biological diagnosis in an advantageous manner.
- the invention allows a new diagnostic approach to neurodegenerative pathologies, in particular Alzheimer's disease.
- the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase being observed early, sometimes before the aggregation of tau proteins, its detection in biological fluids, and in particular CSF, is a marker of choice, usable for purposes of early diagnosis or determination risk factor.
- the invention also provides a method for evaluating the pathological interaction of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase with tau proteins, and vice versa, using appropriate techniques such as, for example, the biosensor, ELISA, immunoprecipitations , mass spectrometry.
- This method makes it possible to define a pathological transformation index of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase and / or of the tau protein. It also covers kits for the implementation of the said evaluation method.
- the methods of detection, diagnosis or evaluation according to the invention can advantageously be used to establish an ante and post-mortem diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer's disease, of the subclinical stage ("mild cognitive impairment” ») At the clinical stage, to carry out a pharmacological screening and therapeutic trials of molecules effective against neurodegenerative pathologies, in particular of the tauopatie or Alzheimer's disease type, and / or to establish and validate cellular models and / or animal models neurodegenerative pathologies, in particular of tauopathy or Alzheimer's disease type.
- the invention also includes' any animal or cell model, characterized in that it expresses an ⁇ chain of ATP synthase having a fault processing signal or a post-translational modification linked to the degenerative process.
- models (animal or cellular) expressing the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase in the cytoplasm of cells, that is to say by eliminating the first 47 amino acids which constitute the signal for maturation of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase for its integration into the V complex of the respiratory chain of the mitochondria. These models should thus reproduce the accumulation of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase in the cytoplasm.
- this involves looking for the delocalization of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase in a reconstituted system, called “cybrid” (Sheehan et al., 1997).
- This system consists of evaluating the functioning of the mitochondria obtained from the blood platelets of patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease in a reconstituted cellular system.
- the addressing of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase in this system can be evaluated and an addressing index defined (the value 100 corresponding to normal subjects, the value 0 to patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease).
- the invention also relates to the therapeutic application, insofar as the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase is a precise pharmacological target, which can be modulated by the action of specific inhibitors and activators, of the protein itself and / or its ligands, and / or the V complex of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in general. Indeed, its action relates directly to the process of neurofibrillary degeneration, and can also relate to the metabolism of the APP.
- kits for detecting the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase for the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases, in particular for the detection of Alzheimer's disease, also comes within the scope of the invention.
- the invention finally provides a diagnostic kit comprising sets of polyclonal and / or monoclonal antibodies directed against patterns of pathological conformation of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase resulting from a neurodegenerative process. It also covers said antibodies.
- said kit contains reagents for carrying out an immunochemical assay, in particular of the ELISA type, immunoblotting, Western blots, dots-blots, radioimmunoassay or immunoassay.
- An additional assay by mass spectrometry is also possible, in order to unambiguously detect alterations in the alpha chain of pathological ATP synthase.
- Example 3 below also proposes a method for preparing immunological tools against the alpha chain of ATP synthase, comprising the following steps: selective extraction of neurofibrillary degeneration from human tissue affected by a neurodegenerative process, extraction of the ⁇ chain from pathological ATP synthase, use of the ⁇ chain from purified ATP synthase as an antigen for the production of polyclonal antibodies .
- the clones selected preferably have the following immunological properties:
- FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the immunodetection of neurofibrillary degeneration of the Alzheimer type by the antibody AD46, to the optical and electronic microscopy scale.
- Figures 3, 4 and 5 relate to the characterization of the proteins detected by AD46, by one-dimensional electrophoresis (fig. 3; 1D), then by two-dimensional electrophoresis (fig. 3; 2D), by mass spectrometry analysis of the spot detected by AD46 (fig. 4), and finally by 2D gel comparison of the immunodetection of AD46 with respect to an antibody directed against the identified protein, namely the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase (fig. 5).
- FIG. 6 and 7 show the insolubilization of the ⁇ chain of ATP synthase; this disappears from the Triton fractions during the Alzheimers.
