Study TitleUnbiased genetic screening and metabolomics identifies glial adenosine metabolism as a therapeutic target in Parkinson’s disease
Study SummaryParkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and lacks disease-modifying therapies. We developed a Drosophila model for identifying novel glial- based therapeutic targets for PD. Human α-synuclein is expressed in neurons and individual genes are independently knocked down in glia. We performed a large forward genetic screen, knocking down the entire Drosophila kinome in glia in α-synuclein expressing flies. Among the top hits were five genes (Ak1, Ak6, Adk1, Adk2, and awd) involved in adenosine metabolism. Knockdown of each gene improved locomotor dysfunction, rescued neurodegeneration, and increased brain adenosine levels. We determined that the mechanism of neuroprotection involves adenosine itself, as opposed to a downstream metabolite. We dove deeper into the mechanism for one gene, Ak1, finding rescue of dopaminergic neuron loss, α-synuclein aggregation, and bioenergetic dysfunction after glial Ak1 knockdown. We performed metabolomics in Drosophila and in human PD patients, allowing us to comprehensively characterize changes in purine metabolism and identify potential biomarkers of dysfunctional adenosine metabolism in people. These experiments support glial adenosine as a novel therapeutic target in PD.

Collection:

Collection ID:CO003558
Collection Summary:Metabolomics on fly heads was performed using a platform that relies on a combination of four non-targeted liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods which measure both polar and non-polar metabolites23. n = 3 replicates per genotype of 25 fly heads each.
Sample Type:Heads

Treatment:

Treatment ID:TR003574
Treatment Summary:NA

Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:SP003572
Sampleprep Summary:Sample homogenates were generated by homogenizing the fly heads in 100 µL water using a TissueLyser II (QIAGEN) bead mill set to two 2 min intervals at 20.
