[0128] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with memory loss, spatial disorientation, and gradual deterioration of intellectual capacity. Numerous pathological changes have been described in the postmortem brains of AD patients, including synaptic and neuronal loss, oxidative damage, activated inflammatory cells, amyloid plaques mainly composed of the ß‐amyloid peptide (Aß), and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) comprised of hyperphosphorylated and / or acetylated aggregates of the microtubule‐associated protein Tau, the latter two of which are considered the pathological hallmarks. For several reasons, research on the involvement of Aß in AD has progressed more quickly than that on Tau. The description of the “amyloid cascade hypothesis” based on the discovery of genetic mutations that cause autosomal familial AD centered the focus of research on Aß. Also, the biochemical studies of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the presenilins have greatly enhanced the understanding of the molecular pathways leading to Aß generation. These studies favored the systematic development of disease‐modifying therapies based on Aß pathway.
[0129] Tau is a soluble protein that normally binds to microtubules and regulates their dynamic growing and shortening behaviors.^In Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases, Tau dissociates from microtubules and self-associates to form abnormal fibrillar aggregates.^The distribution of these aberrant Tau structures is very well-correlated with neuronal cell death and the clinical progression of neurodegenerative diseases, suggesting an intimate link between aberrant Tau structure and neurodegeneration / dementia. Recent efforts to identify the neurotoxic species of Tau have shifted focus away from mature, fibrillar aggregates toward smaller oligomeric Tau species.^Studies with antibodies that selectively recognize Tau oligomers have demonstrated that these species are elevated in AD brains.^Cell to cell transmission of oligomeric Tau and other aberrant pre-fibrillar species may underlie the spread of Tau pathology,^and these species show promise as potential therapeutic targets.^A structural understanding of early Tau aggregates may lead to a deeper understanding of their neurotoxic mechanisms, as well as to the rational design of therapeutic drugs.
[0130] As a result of alternative RNA splicing there are 6 distinct isoforms of Tau that differ from one another depending upon the presence or absence of three inserts encoded by exons 2, 3 and 10 of the Tau gene. There are two important domains in each Tau isoform: the N-terminal projectiondomain determines the inter-microtubule spacing between bundled microtubules and also mediates interactions of microtubules with plasma membrane. Exons 2 and 3 each encode 29-residue acidic inserts located in the N-terminal projection domain. In contrast, the microtubule binding pseudo- repeat (MTBR) domain contains either three or four imperfect repeats (depending upon the presence or absence of exon 10 encoded sequences) and serves to bind microtubules directly and to regulate their dynamics. This same region of the protein makes up the core of fibrillar Tau aggregates, and Tau aggregation is accompanied by a regional transition from random coil to β- sheet structure. Fibrillar Tau aggregates have a cross-β-structure typical of amyloid fibrils. Finally, the 6 tau isoforms differ from one another not only structurally but also in terms of the relative expression levels and their rates and extents of fibril formation. Genetic evidence demonstrates unequivocally that functional differences must exist among the 6 different tau isoforms.

[0138] The classically described function of Tau is as a neuronal microtubule‐associated protein, mainly found in axons. Under physiological conditions, Tau exists as a highly soluble and natively unfolded protein that interacts with tubulin and promotes its assembly into microtubules, which helps to stabilize their structure. Recent evidence points to additional functions for Tau. For example, Tau phosphorylation enables neurons to escape from an acute apoptotic death through stabilizing ß‐catenin. Also, Tau exerts an essential role in the balance of microtubule‐dependent axonal transport of organelles and biomolecules by modulating the anterograde transport by kinesin and the dynein‐driven retrograde transport.
[0139] Soluble oligomeric species of amyloid-β (Aβ) are thought to be other key mediators of cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (M. Sheng, et al. (2012) Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol 4; J. J. Palop et al. (2010) Nat Neurosci 13, 812). Neuritic plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s Disease, are accumulations of aggregated, or oligomerized, amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides, including Aβ1-40 (Aβ40) and Aβ1-42 (Aβ42) that are derived from the processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β- and γ-secretases. The vast majority of autosomal familial AD (FAD)-linked mutations are associated with increased levels of Aβ1-42. Transgenic mice expressing elevated levels of human Aβ experience memory loss and synaptic regression (M. Faizi et al., (2012) Brain Behav 2, 142; C. Perez-Cruz et al., (2011) J Neurosci 31, 3926; S. Knafo et al., (2009) Cereb Cortex 19, 586; M. Cisse et al., (2011) Nature 469, 47). Aβ production is thought to be activity-dependent (F. Kamenetz et al., (2003) Neuron 37, 925; J. Wu et al., (2011) Cell 147, 615), and even in wild type mice addition of soluble Aβ oligomers to hippocampal slices or cultures induces loss of long-term 2 potentiation (LTP), increases long-term depression (LTD) and decreases dendritic spine density (G. M. Shankar et al., (2007) J Neurosci 27, 2866; G. M. Shankar et al., (2008) Nat Med 14, 837; H. Hsieh et al., (2006) Neuron 52, 831). There are currently no effective therapies for arresting or reversing the impairment of cognitive function that characterizes AD.
[0140] Aβ oligomer levels are also elevated by about 200-300% in Down syndrome (DS) patients throughout life (reviewed in Head and Lott (2004) Curr Opin Neurol 17(2):95-100). The use of a γ-secretase inhibitor to lower β-amyloid levels in young mice that model DS corrected learning deficits characteristic of these mice, suggesting that therapies that interfere with Aβ oligomers will improve cognitive function in young DS patients as well (Netzer WJ, et al. (2010) PLoS One 5:e10943).
[0141] By Aβ, or “amyloid beta”, or “amyloid β”, it is meant a peptide of 36-43 amino acids that is derived from the processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β- and γ-secretases. By “Aβ oligomers”, “amyloid β oligomers”, or “amyloid beta oligomers” it is meant aggregates of Aβ peptide. Aβ is the main component of deposits, called amyloid plaques, found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA); it also associated with retinal ganglion cells in patients having glaucoma. Two major variants, Aβ1-40(“Aβ40”) (DAEFRHDSGYEVHHQKLVFFAEDVGSNKGAIIGLMVGGVV) (SEQ ID NO: 7) and Aβ1-42(“Aβ42”) (DAEFRHDSGYEVHHQKLVFAAEDVGSNKGAIIGLMVGGVVIA) (SEQ ID NO: 8), are produced by alternative carboxy-terminal truncation of APP (Selkoe et al. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:7341-7345; Selkoe, (1993) Trends Neurosci 16:403-409). Aβ1-42is the more fibrillogenic and more abundant of the two peptides in amyloid deposits of both AD and CAA. Derivatives of the above peptides comprising a naturally occurring substitution, e.g. Aβ1-42 H13R, Aβ1-42V18A, Aβ1-42F19P, Aβ1-42E22D, Aβ1-42E22V, Aβ1-42E22A, Aβ1-42D23A, Aβ1-42G25A, Aβ1-42 N27A, Aβ1-42 K28A, Aβ1-42 G29A, Aβ1-42 I31A, Aβ1-42 G37A, the English Mutation, the Iowa Mutation, the Tottori-Japanese Mutation, the Flemish Mutation, the Arctic Mutation, the Italian Mutation, etc. In addition to the amyloid deposits that may occur in, for example, CNS tissue, amyloid deposition may occur in the vascular walls (Hardy (1997); Haan et al. (1990); Vinters (1987); Itoh et al. (1993); Yamada et al. (1993); Greenberg et al. (1993); Levy et al. (1990)). These vascular lesions are the hallmark of CAA, which can exist in the absence of AD.
[0142] Aβ oligomers are known in the art to have a number of effects on cells. These include, for example, reducing cell viability, and reducing synaptic plasticity, promoting synapse loss in neurons. By a “synapse” it is meant the structure on a neuron that permits the neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell. By “synaptic plasticity” it is meant the ability of the synapse to change in strength, i.e. to become stronger or weaker, in response to either use or disuse, respectively, of transmission over that synaptic pathway. Such a change in strength is typically evident by one or more of the following structural changes: a change in the number of presynaptic vesicles, a change in the amount of neurotransmitter loaded per vesicle, a change in the number of dendritic spines, and / or a change in the number of neurotransmitter receptors positioned on the postsynaptic neuron. Reductions or enhancements in synaptic plasticity may be observed by assessing the ability of a postsynaptic neuron to evoke a long-term enhancement (“long term potentiation”, LTP) or long-term depression (LTD) in the activity of a presynaptic neuron, and / or by assaying for the subsequent changes in synaptic strength, e.g. by detecting oneor more of the above-mentioned structural changes. By “enhanced synaptic plasticity” it is meant greater synaptic strengthening (LTP), more stable synapses and a failure to remove synapses and the spines that carry synapses. By “reduced synaptic plasticity” it is meant enhanced synaptic weakening (LTD), less stable synapses, and fewer spines and synapses. By “synapse loss” it is meant a decrease in the number of synapses, for example, a loss in the connection between two neurons or, in instances in which multiple synapses exist between two neurons, in the loss of one or more of these synapses. As is well known in the art, synaptic activity and the change in the strength and number of synapses is central to almost all neurobiological processes, including learning, memory, and neuronal development. In further describing aspects of the invention, the following description focuses on the effects of Aβ oligomers on neurons. However, the subject methods and compositions also find use in inhibiting the effects of Aβ oligomers on other types of cells as well, for example, microglia.
[0143] Parkinson's disease (PD) is a major neurodegenerative disease that primarily affects motor systems but can also be accompanied by cognitive and behavioral problems. There is a widespread neuron degeneration in PD brains, affecting up to 70% of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) by the time of death. The neuropathological hallmarks of PD include Lewy bodies (LBs) in the SN, brainstem, and rostral and forebrain regions and the selective deletion of dopaminergic neurons in the SN. Cell-death induced damage in SN may be the source of patient movement disorders. Although the causes of this cell death are generally unclear, researchers have observed an enrichment alpha-synuclein in neuronal Lewy bodies. Tau aggregates can also be observed in PD, for example in cases with LKKR2 mutations. Tau has also been associated with increased alpha synuclein deposits. Immunohistochemistry with anti-tau antibodies showed high level of NFTs in the substantia nigra from post-mortem human brain tissue. Researchers have also reported that tauopathies in PD and PD with dementia (PDD) were only observed in DA neurons of the nigrostriatal region, which contrasts with the wide-spread expression pattern of tau throughout the entire brain in AD.
[0144] In Parkinson disease, pigmented neurons of the substantia nigra, locus ceruleus, and other brain stem dopaminergic cell groups degenerate. Loss of substantia nigra neurons results in depletion of dopamine in the dorsal aspect of the putamen (part of the basal ganglia) and causes many of the motor manifestations of Parkinson disease.
[0145] A genetic predisposition is likely in at least in some cases of Parkinson disease. A genetic association with polymorphisms surrounding the tau gene is found in Parkinson disease and Alzheimer’s dementia. About 10% of PD patients have a family history of Parkinson disease. Several abnormal genes have been identified. Inheritance is autosomal dominant for some genes and autosomal recessive for others. Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most prevalent mutation in sporadic cases of Parkinson disease in patients, and it is the most prevalent autosomal dominant mutation of the inherited forms of the disease. Recent data shows that tau is particularly important in PD patient with LRRK2 mutation, thus the therapy proposed here could be particularly effective.
[0146] Diagnosis of Parkinson disease is clinical. Parkinson disease is suspected in patients with characteristic unilateral resting tremor, decreased movement, or rigidity. During finger-to-nose coordination testing, the tremor disappears (or attenuates) in the limb being tested. During the neurologic examination, patients cannot perform rapidly alternating or rapid successive movements well. Sensation and strength are usually normal. Reflexes are normal but may be difficult to elicit because of marked tremor or rigidity. Slowed and decreased movement due to Parkinson disease must be differentiated from decreased movement and spasticity due to lesions of the corticospinal tracts. To help distinguish Parkinson disease from secondary or atypical parkinsonism, clinicians often test responsiveness to levodopa. A large, sustained response strongly supports Parkinson disease.
[0147] Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a group of rare neurodegenerative diseases that mainly involve the nerve cells (neurons) responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movement. It is characterized by steady, relentless, progressive degeneration of corticospinal tracts, anterior horn cells, bulbar motor nuclei, or a combination. Symptoms vary in severity and may include muscle weakness and atrophy, fasciculations, emotional lability, and respiratory muscle weakness. Diagnosis involves nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and exclusion of other disorders via MRI and laboratory tests. Current treatment is supportive. The majority of ALS cases (90 percent or more) are considered sporadic.
[0148] Most patients with ALS present with random, asymmetric symptoms, consisting of cramps, weakness, and muscle atrophy of the hands (most commonly) or feet. Weakness progresses to the forearms, shoulders, and lower limbs. Fasciculations, spasticity, hyperactive deep tendon reflexes, extensor plantar reflexes, clumsiness, stiffness of movement, weight loss,fatigue, and difficulty controlling facial expression and tongue movements soon follow. Other symptoms include hoarseness, dysphagia, and slurred speech; because swallowing is difficult, salivation appears to increase, and patients tend to choke on liquids. Late in the disorder, a pseudobulbar affect occurs, with inappropriate, involuntary, and uncontrollable excesses of laughter or crying. Sensory systems, consciousness, cognition, voluntary eye movements, sexual function, and urinary and anal sphincters are usually spared. Death is usually caused by failure of the respiratory muscles; 50% of patients die within 3 yr of onset, 20% live 5 yr, and 10% live 10 yr. Survival for > 30 yr is rare.
[0149] MSA is a sporadic synucleinopathy of adult onset, with symptoms of parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia and autonomic failure. Cases of MSA are classified as MSA-P, which show predominant parkinsonism caused by striatonigral degeneration, and MSA-C, which show cerebellar ataxia associated with olivopontocerebellar atrophy. Autonomic dysfunction is common to both subtypes. In neuropathological terms, MSA is defined by regional nerve cell loss and the presence of abundant filamentous α-synuclein inclusions in oligodendrocytes: glial cytoplasmic inclusions, known as Papp–Lantos bodies. Smaller numbers of α-synuclein inclusions are also present in nerve cells. The mean duration of the disease is 6–10 years, but survival times of 18–20 years have been reported. The late appearance of autonomic dysfunction correlates with prolonged survival.
[0150] Synucleinopathies are defined pathologically by the presence of α-Syn (α-synuclein or alpha synuclein) aggregates. Lewy body diseases consist of synucleinopathies with pathologic Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites which clinically manifest as PD, Parkinson disease dementia (PDD), or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). α-Syn aggregates in the form of glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) are characteristic of MSA. It has been shown previously that fibrils of α-Syn exist in PD and are expected to exist in other synucleinopathies. α-Syn fibrils formed in vitro also induce α-Syn inclusions when injected into model animals.
[0151] α-Syn is a 140 amino acid protein encoded by the gene synuclein alpha (SNCA) whose normal function is thought to be related to synaptic vesicle transmission. Residues 1–60 compose a lysine-rich N-terminal region with KTK lipid-binding repeats for vesicle binding. Familial SNCA gene mutations are found in this N-terminal region, including: A30P, A30G, E46K, G51D, A53E, A53V, A53T. Residues 61–95 comprise the non-amyloid b component (NAC) region that has been shown as essential for aggregation. Small peptides derived from this region were easilyable to aggregate. Furthermore, b-synuclein, which is similar to α-Syn but lacks amino acids 71– 82 in the NAC, has not been found to aggregate like α-Syn. Removing this region from α-Syn also prevents aggregation in vitro further supporting the importance of this region in aggregation. The amino acid sequence of α-Syn is MDVFMKGLSKAKEGVVAAAEKTKQGVAEAAGKTKEGVLYVGSKTKEGVVHGVATVA EKTKEQVTNVGGAVVTGVTAVAQKTVEGAGSIAAATGFVKKDQLGKNEEGAPQEGILE DMPVDPDNEAYEMPSEEGYQDYEPEA (SEQ ID NO: 9).
[0152] Clinically, PD is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder affecting 2%–3% individuals 65 and older, while DLB is thought to be the underlying cause of 10%–15% of all cases of dementia. PD is characterized by neuronal loss in the substantia nigra that causes striatal dopamine deficiency and leads to bradykinesia and other motor symptoms. PD can, however, progress to PDD, and DLB can progress to motor dysfunction similar to that seen in PD. PD, PDD, and DLB are generally considered to be on the same disease spectrum with similarities clinically and pathologically including α-Syn aggregates in the form of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites. MSA is distinct clinically and pathologically from PD and DLB, with a lower prevalence in the general population. MSA is of sporadic onset and is characterized by parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia, and / or autonomic failure. Similar to PD and DLB there are neuronal α-Syn inclusions and neuronal cell loss in MSA, however, α-Syn inclusions are more prevalent in oligodendrocytes as GCIs.
[0153] As is seen with tau fibrils, the structure of α-Syn fibrils varies among disease states. It was also shown that GCIs from MSA are 103-times more potent seeds of aggregation than fibrils derived from PD Lewy bodies. Recent characterization of amplified patient-derived fibrils suggests that PD and MSA fibrils share many characteristics, but MSA fibrils are more potent inducers of motor deficits, neurodegeneration, and α-Syn pathology. Although DLB and PD are thought to be on the same disease spectrum, DLB fibrils did not yield the significant neuropathology seen with PD fibrils. Though still recent, these results may suggest that PD fibrils and DLB fibrils contained in Lewy bodies may be less similar than previously thought.
[0154] Familial SNCA mutations disrupt the stabilizing interactions of the known wild-type α- Syn in vitro fold conformations. It has been shown that under the same conditions A53T, A53E, G51D, and E46K mutants of α-Syn form fibrils with distinct morphologies from wild-type fibrils.The E46K mutant α-Syn is toxic to neuronal cells. These fibrils were less stable and easily fragmented, but were also a better seed than wild-type fibrils, potentially indicating that toxicity is related to seeding rather than fibrils stability. These in vitro data suggest that mutations may affect fibril structure, stability, and effect on disease progression.
[0155] G51D and A53E mutations can cause mixed MSA and PD pathology in patients. G51 lies at the protofilament interface of the ex vivo MSA fibrils near K43, K45, and H50. Structurally, there may be room to accommodate the switch from glycine to aspartic acid; however, this switch would reduce the positive charge of the central cavity. It is difficult to speculate how a change in charge or amino acid side chain would affect the central cavity and the in vivo fibrils as a whole. However, it could change the nonproteinaceous compounds within the central cavity or potentially disrupt the fibril stability or even enhance fibril stability to make fibrils more stable and more pathogenic than wild-type α-Syn fibrils leading to mixed MSA and PD pathology.
[0156] Some of the in vitro fibrils imaged may be able to explain how some of the familial mutations pack in vivo and the ex vivo structures solved may be able to accommodate some of the familial SNCA mutations. However, additional ex vivo α-Syn structures of mutant fibrils will need to be solved in order to confirm the actual structure. The structure of fibrils from patients with familial mutations will be important to understanding why those mutations specifically cause disease and potentially lead to breakthroughs in understanding development and progression of sporadic disease as well.
