Synaptic changes are early manifestations of neuronal dysfunction in Huntington's disease (HD). However, the mechanisms by which mutant HTT protein impacts synaptogenesis and function are not well understood. Herein we explored HD pathogenesis in the BACHD mouse model by examining synaptogenesis and function in long term primary cortical cultures. At DIV14 (days in vitro), BACHD cortical neurons showed no difference from WT neurons in synaptogenesis as revealed by colocalization of a pre-synaptic (Synapsin I) and a post-synaptic (PSD95) marker. From DIV21 to DIV35, BACHD neurons showed progressively reduced colocalization of Synapsin I and PSD95 relative to WT neurons. The deficits were effectively rescued by treatment of BACHD neurons with BDNF. The recombinant apical domain of CCT1 (ApiCCT1) yielded a partial rescuing effect. BACHD neurons also showed culture age-related significant functional deficits as revealed by multielectrode arrays (MEAs). These deficits were prevented by BDNF, whereas ApiCCT1 showed a less potent effect. These findings are evidence that deficits in BACHD synapse and function can be replicated in vitro and that BDNF or a TRiC-inspired reagent can potentially be protective against these changes in BACHD neurons. Our findings support the use of cellular models to further explicate HD pathogenesis and potential treatments. |
