Abstrakt: Loss-of-function mutations in TANK-binding kinase 1 cause genetic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. Consistent with incomplete penetrance in humans, haploinsufficiency of TANK-binding kinase 1 did not cause motor symptoms in mice up to 7 months of age in a previous study. Ageing is the strongest risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases. Hypothesizing that age-dependent processes together with haploinsufficiency of TANK-binding kinase 1 could create a double hit situation that may trigger neurodegeneration, we examined mice with hemizygous deletion of Tbk1 ( Tbk1 +/- mice) and wild-type siblings up to 22 months. Compared to 4-month old mice, aged, 22-month old mice showed glial activation, deposition of motoneuronal p62 aggregates, muscular denervation and profound transcriptomic alterations in a set of 800 immune-related genes upon ageing. However, we did not observe differences regarding these measures between aged Tbk1 +/- and wild-type siblings. High age did also not precipitate TAR DNA-binding protein 43 aggregation, neurodegeneration or a neurological phenotype in Tbk1 +/ - mice. In young Tbk1 +/ - mice, however, we found the CNS immune gene expression pattern shifted towards the age-dependent immune system dysregulation observed in old mice. Conclusively, ageing is not sufficient to precipitate an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or frontotemporal dementia phenotype or spinal or cortical neurodegeneration in a model of Tbk1 haploinsufficiency. We hypothesize that the consequences of Tbk1 haploinsufficiency may be highly context-dependent and require a specific synergistic stress stimulus to be uncovered.
