Abstract

TARDBP (TDP-43) is the major pathological protein in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Large TDP-43 aggregates decorated by degradation adaptor proteins are seen in the cytoplasm of remaining neurons in patients post mortem. TDP-43 accumulation, and ALS-linked mutations within degradation pathways, implicates failed TDP-43 clearance as a primary disease mechanism. Here we report the differential roles of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy in the clearance of TDP-43. We have investigated the effects of UPS and autophagy inhibitors on the degradation, localisation and mobility of soluble and insoluble TDP-43. We find that soluble TDP-43 is degraded primarily by the UPS, while aggregated TDP-43 clearance requires autophagy. Cellular macroaggregates, which recapitulate many pathological features of patient aggregates, are reversible when both the UPS and autophagy are competent. Their clearance involves the autophagic removal of oligomeric TDP-43. We speculate that in addition to age-related decline, a second hit in the UPS or autophagy pathways drives the accumulation of TDP-43 in ALS and FTD. Therapies for clearing excess TDP-43 should therefore be targeted to a combination of these pathways.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
