Description
Synapse loss and glial activation are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In Tau P301S transgenic mice, the complement pathway contributes to neuronal damage through microglial elimination of synapses. Here, we used unbiased proteomic profiling of postsynaptic density (PSD) fractions from Tau P301S mice in C1q-WT versus C1q knockout backgrounds to identify C1q-dependent changes at synapses. Integrative multi-omics analysis revealed that astrocyte- and microglia- specific proteins are increased in Tau P301S synapse fractions with age and in a C1q-dependent manner. The same set of glial proteins (including C1q, C4, Gpnmb, and S100a4) is elevated in human AD synaptic fractions, and C4 levels are raised in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from AD patients. Besides microglia, we show that astrocytes contribute substantially to excitatory and inhibitory synapse engulfment in Tau P301S hippocampus. Based on staining of synapse markers within lysosomes, astrocytes showed preference for excitatory synapses whereas microglia preferred to engulf inhibitory synapse markers. Genetic deletion of C1q reduced astrocytic eating of excitatory and inhibitory synapses in Tau P301S mice, and rescued synapse density. Together, our data indicate that astrocytes contact and phagocytose synapses in a C1q- dependent manner and thereby contribute to synapse loss and neurodegeneration in AD.

Click here to queue conversion of this dataset's submitted spectrum files
to open formats (e.g. mzML). This process may take some time.
When complete, the converted files will be available in the "ccms_peak"
subdirectory of the dataset's FTP space (accessible via the "FTP Download"
link to the right).
Number of distinct conditions across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses)
associated with this dataset.
Distinct condition labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category
having a "Condition" column in this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct biological replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses)
associated with this dataset.
Distinct replicate labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category
having a "BioReplicate" or "Replicate" column in this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct technical replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses)
associated with this dataset.
The technical replicate count is defined as the maximum number of times any one distinct
combination of condition and biological replicate was analyzed across all files submitted in the
"Metadata" category. In the case of fractionated experiments, only the first fraction is
considered.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Originally identified proteins that were automatically
remapped by MassIVE to proteins in the
SwissProt
human reference database.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct protein accessions reported across all analyses (original submission and
reanalyses) associated with this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct unmodified peptide sequences reported across all analyses (original
submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct peptide sequences (including modified variants or peptidoforms) reported
across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Total number of peptide-spectrum matches (i.e. spectrum identifications) reported across all
analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins quantified across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses)
associated with this dataset.
Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis
of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins found to be differentially abundant in at least one comparison
across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.
A protein is differentially abundant if its change in abundance across conditions is found
to be statistically significant with an adjusted p-value <= 0.05 and lists no issues associated
with statistical tests for differential abundance.
Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis
of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
This dataset may not contain all raw spectra data as originally deposited in PRIDE.
It has been imported to MassIVE for reanalysis purposes, so its spectra data here may
consist solely of processed peak lists suitable for reanalysis with most software.
