A growing body of evidence suggests that a loss of chromosome 9 open reading
frame 72 (C9ORF72) expression, formation of dipeptide-repeat proteins, and
generation of RNA foci contribute to disease pathogenesis in amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. Although the levels of C9ORF72 transcripts
and dipeptide-repeat proteins have already been examined thoroughly, much remains
unknown about the role of RNA foci in C9ORF72-linked diseases. As such, we
performed a comprehensive RNA foci study in an extensive pathological cohort of
C9ORF72 expansion carriers (n = 63). We evaluated two brain regions using a newly
developed computer-automated pipeline allowing recognition of cell nuclei and RNA
foci (sense and antisense) supplemented by manual counting. In the frontal
cortex, the percentage of cells with sense or antisense RNA foci was 26 or 12%,
respectively. In the cerebellum, 23% of granule cells contained sense RNA foci
and 1% antisense RNA foci. Interestingly, the highest percentage of cells with
RNA foci was observed in cerebellar Purkinje cells (~70%). In general, more cells
contained sense RNA foci than antisense RNA foci; however, when antisense RNA
foci were present, they were usually more abundant. We also observed that an
increase in the percentage of cells with antisense RNA foci was associated with a
delayed age at onset in the frontal cortex (r = 0.43, p = 0.003), whereas no
other associations with clinico-pathological features were seen. Importantly, our
large-scale study is the first to provide conclusive evidence that RNA foci are
not the determining factor of the clinico-pathological variability observed in
C9ORF72 expansion carriers and it emphasizes that the distribution of RNA foci
does not follow the pattern of neurodegeneration, stressing the complex interplay
between different aspects of C9ORF72-related diseases.
