Abstract
The causes of Parkinson disease (PD) remain mysterious, although some evidence supports mitochondrial dysfunctions and α-synuclein accumulation in Lewy bodies as major events. The abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein has been associated with a deficiency in the ubiquitin-proteasome system and the autophagy-lysosomal pathway. Cathepsin D (cathD), the major lysosomal protease responsible of α-synuclein degradation was described to be up-regulated in PD model. As glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) regulate cathD activity, and have been recently suggested to participate in PD physiopathology, we investigated their role in α-synuclein accumulation by their intracellular regulation of cathD activity. In a classical neuroblastoma cell model of PD induced by MPP+, the genetic expression of GAGs-biosynthetic enzymes was modified, leading to an increase of GAGs amounts whereas intracellular level of α-synuclein increased. The absence of sulfated GAGs increased intracellular cathD activity and limited α-synuclein accumulation. GAGs effects on cathD further suggested that specific sequences or sulfation patterns could be responsible for this regulation. The present study identifies, for the first time, GAGs as new regulators of the lysosome degradation pathway, regulating cathD activity and affecting two main biological processes, α-synuclein aggregation and apoptosis. Finally, this opens new insights into intracellular GAGs functions and new fields of investigation for glycobiological approaches in PD and neurobiology.

The abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein has been associated with a deficiency in the ubiquitin-proteasome system and the autophagy-lysosomal pathway. Cathepsin D (cathD), the major lysosomal protease responsible of α-synuclein degradation was described to be up-regulated in PD model. As glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) regulate cathD activity, and have been recently suggested to participate in PD physiopathology, we investigated their role in α-synuclein accumulation by their intracellular regulation of cathD activity. In a classical neuroblastoma cell model of PD induced by MPP<sup>+</sup>, the genetic expression of GAGs-biosynthetic enzymes was modified, leading to an increase of GAGs amounts whereas intracellular level of α-synuclein increased. The absence of sulfated GAGs increased intracellular cathD activity and limited α-synuclein accumulation. GAGs effects on cathD further suggested that specific sequences or sulfation patterns could be responsible for this regulation. The present study identifies, for the first time, GAGs as new regulators of the lysosome degradation pathway, regulating cathD activity and affecting two main biological processes, α-synuclein aggregation and apoptosis. Finally, this opens new insights into intracellular GAGs functions and new fields of investigation for glycobiological approaches in PD and neurobiology.</p></abstract><funding-group><funding-statement>The authors have no support or funding to report.</funding-statement></funding-group><counts><fig-count count="8"></fig-count><table-count count="1"></table-count><page-count count="20"></page-count></counts><custom-meta-group><custom-meta id="data-availability"><meta-name>Data Availability</meta-name><meta-value>All relevant data are within the paper and its Supporting Information files.</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta><notes><title>Data Availability</title><p>All relevant data are within the paper and its Supporting Information files.</p></notes></front><body><sec sec-type="intro" id="sec001"><title>INTRODUCTION</title><p>Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases affecting almost 1% of the population worldwide and is mainly characterized by the death of dopaminergic neurons in the <italic>substantia nigra</italic>. Even though the cause of PD remains mysterious, several lines of evidence support mitochondrial dysfunctions [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>] and α-synuclein accumulation in Lewy bodies (LB) as major disease events. Although the formation of LB and their role in dopaminergic neuron death remain elusive [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref002" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0116641.ref003" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>], the biological function of α-synuclein is not fully understood. However, this protein is abundantly expressed in pre-synaptic terminals and seems to be involved in the regulation and the maintenance of dopaminergic cells homeostasis. Importantly, α-synuclein over-expression has been associated to several traits of PD in animal models with mitochondrial complex I dysfunctions, whereas α-synuclein null mice display striking resistance to the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons and dopamine release induced by the neurotoxin MPTP [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0116641.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>]. The central adverse feature of α-synuclein over-expression is its tendency to misfold and to subsequently aggregate in oligomers suspected to induce toxicity in neurons, as described with other proteins aggregates [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>]. Once accumulated, α-synuclein spontaneously aggregates and promotes inclusion formation which is suggested to lead to LB. The accumulation of α-synuclein and its subsequent aggregation have been associated with a deficiency in protein processing considered as one of the potential starting point of the disease [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref007" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>]. While this remains to be confirmed and the precise mechanism of α-synuclein degradation is not yet fully understood, several studies have suggested that all major cellular degradation pathways are involved in its catabolism [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0116641.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>]. In PD, dysfunctions of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) could lead to the accumulation of the ubiquitinylated α-synuclein with its concomitant aggregation into inclusion bodies, which would finally induce neuronal death [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>]. Beside this, the autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) is progressively diminished with age and the impairment of its protein processing capacity is associated with a higher risk of neurodegeneration [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0116641.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0116641.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]. Interestingly, recent studies suggest that under normal conditions, the UPS is the main degradation pathway for α-synuclein, while the ALP is recruited when the α-synuclein expression increases, such as in pathologic conditions [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>]. Among the ALP pathway protagonists, the lysosomal aspartic protease cathepsin D (cathD) was described as the main α-synuclein degrading enzyme [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>], able to prevent α-synuclein aggregation and toxicity [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0116641.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]. Thus, in a rhesus monkey model of PD, over-expression of cathD and the increased number of lysosomes were correlated with apoptotic processes [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]. However, these findings highlighted the discrepancy between the presence of cathD and its inefficiency to prevent α-synuclein accumulation, suggesting the presence of unidentified endogenous inhibitor(s). It has long been known that cathD activity is inhibited by endogenous sulfated polysaccharides, i.e. glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which are present in lysosomes where they are processed after endocytosis [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0116641.ref019" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>]. In previous studies, we showed that GAGs and their synthetic mimetics can effectively modulate cathD activity, protect mitochondria, and inhibit apoptosis-induced oxidative stress [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref019" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0116641.ref020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>]. This suggests the potential role of GAGs in pathologies where such processes occur. Interestingly, a typical mucopolysaccharidosis mutation in α-<italic>N</italic>-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGLU) gene, leading to lysosomal impairment, GAGs accumulation, with concomitant α-synuclein aggregation, was recently described in PD patients [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>]. Heparan sulfates (HS), the most structurally diverse sub-family of GAGs processed by NAGLU, have been involved in the aggregation processes of proteins including Aβ peptide, Tau, PrP and α-synuclein [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>]. Furthermore, we recently demonstrated that GAGs involvement is not limited to the classical aggregation process, but are needed in the cell uptake and propagation for tauopathy and synucleinopathy [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref022" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]. Tau and α-synuclein enter cells via macropinocytosis in which GAGs serve as primary receptor [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref023" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>]. Then macropinosomes undergo traditional maturation and fuse with the lysosome [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref024" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>].</p><p>Based on these data, we hypothesized that GAGs can modulate cathD activity which regulates α-synuclein degradation/accumulation in cells. In this report, we studied particular fates and functions of GAGs in a cellular model of PD implicating 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP<sup>+</sup>) stress to investigate whether GAGs can interact with cathD. We demonstrate for the first time that the biosynthesis and cellular contents of GAGs, including HS and chondroïtin sulfate (CS), are modified by MPP<sup>+</sup> stress and that changes are associated with differential expression of some specific GAGs biosynthetic enzymes. We show that the cellular GAGs regulate cathD activity, and importantly, that their presence is required for α-synuclein intracellular accumulation. Altogether, these results suggest important regulatory roles for GAGs in protein degradation/accumulation, which may thus involve them in the physiopathology of neurodegenerative diseases.</p></sec><sec id="sec002"><title>EXPERIMENTAL</title><sec id="sec002a"><title>Chemicals and reagents</title><p>Dulbecco’s Minimal Essential medium (DME), foetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin/streptomycin, trypsin-EDTA solution and phosphate buffered saline (PBS) were from GibcoBRL (France). 1-Methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+), 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), chondroitin sulfate (CS) heparan sulfate (HS), heparin (Hep) and anti-CS antibody were from Sigma (France).

At specified times, cells were treated with proteinase K (100 μg/mL) during 24 h at 56°C. The enzyme was then inactivated by increasing the temperature to 90°C during 30 min. DNA was eliminated by DNase digestion (7.5 U, 24 h at 37°C). Samples were diluted 1:1 with NaCl 4 M to abolish remaining GAG-peptides interactions. Then, samples were treated with cold trichloroacetic acid to 10% final concentration and lipids were removed by chloroform extraction (1:1). Samples were then dialyzed in buffer (50 mM Tris, 50 mM CH<sub>3</sub>COONa, 2 mM CaCl<sub>2</sub>, pH 8) twice during 3 h and then in water.

Briefly, 50 μL of sample was loaded onto a Propac PA-1 (Dionex) strong-anion exchange column eluted by a NaCl-solvent gradient (0.1 to 1 M). Post-column in-line modification was realized by mixing 2-cyanoacetamide solution (2% v/v) and 250 mmol/L NaOH supplied both at 0.25 mL/min. The mixture passed through a reaction coil set in an oven at 120°C, followed by a cooling coil and then fluorescence was monitored (λ = 346 nm excitation, λ = 410 nm emission).

However, if one of the hallmarks of PD is the presence of LB, mainly constituted of α-synuclein, the mechanism underlying their formation and their pathogenic relevance remain unclear. Few studies have suggested the presence of GAGs in LB, where they can interact with α-synuclein, notably at an early stage of aggregation, prior to fibrillation [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref034" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>]. With the aim of studying early stage of PD, characterized by the presence of mono-, di- and oligomeric α-synuclein forms, we used a semi-quantitative western-blot method, able to detect very low amount of α-synucleinoligomers compared to other classical methods [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref035" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>]. <italic>In vitro</italic>, using this method, we confirmed that GAGs can modulate the α-synuclein transition between these forms that are resistant to SDS exposure during Western-blot. <italic>In vitro</italic>, increasing concentrations of Hep and HS, to a lesser extent, both augment the proportion of dimers, whereas CS induces the increase of oligomers. Thus, the <italic>in vitro</italic> ability of α-synuclein to form dimers/oligomers, appears to be differently regulated by GAGs compositions and concentrations. <italic>In vivo</italic>, oligomerisation and aggregation of α-synuclein are more complex, probably involving unknown enhancers/processes of aggregation and an impairment of its clearance that may be caused by alterations in the UPS or the ALP [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>]. Recently, studies suggested that the UPS is the main degradation pathway for α-synuclein under normal conditions, while the ALP is recruited when the α-synuclein expression is increased [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>]. Among the most powerful hydrolytic enzymes in lysosomes is cathD, a major intracellular aspartic protease, described as the main α-synuclein degrading enzyme [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>].</p><p><italic>In vivo</italic>, cathD is classically involved in apoptosis through its release from lysosome and its activation of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax in the cytosol. In this study, we used the gold standard of toxin-based PD models by treating neuroblastoma cells with the MPTP metabolite MPP<sup>+</sup>, a potent mitochondrial complex I inhibitor. For the first time, we demonstrate that a time-dependent increase of cathD activity and expression occurs in MPP<sup>+</sup>-stressed cells. A 6 hour MPP<sup>+</sup> treatment is sufficient to activate the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis characterized by cytosolic cathD release, Bax translocation and caspase-9 and -3 activation. The mitochondrial dysfunction observed after MPP<sup>+</sup> treatment, with the decrease of the respiratory control index (RCI), also suggests the inhibition of complex I and the overproduction of reactive oxygen species [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref036" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>] leading to lysosomal membrane disruption and release of cathD [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref019" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>]. This increase of lysosomal membrane permeabilization, resulting in the collapse of lysosomal function, was suggested to end up with the impairment of cytoprotective autophagy and neuronal cell death in a model of PD [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref037" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>]. In the cytosol, cathD activates Bax by an unknown mechanism that can induce, in a vicious circle, the collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c. Similarly, the up-regulation of cathD recently observed in the caudate nucleus of rhesus monkeys treated chronically by MPTP, correlated with cellular damages leading to typical caspases activation of apoptosis [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>] and thus corroborates our results. Remarkably, we observed the concomitant and significant increase of α-synuclein accumulation at the intracellular level. This highlights the discrepancy between the presence of cathD and its inefficiency to prevent α-synuclein accumulation, and suggests the existence of a fine control of the protease activity by endogenous systems, including natural inhibitors. Interestingly, western-blotting assay of α-synuclein was performed in the presence of SDS, which cannot dissociate oligomers of α-synuclein as previously described by Tsika et al [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref038" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>]. Furthermore, the molecular weight bands patterns corresponding to dimers, trimers, and multimers of α-synuclein and resistant to SDS detected in our cellular study, were similar to those described in α-synuclein sample extracted from different mouse brain areas [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref038" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>]. This strengthens the interest of our cellular model induced by MPP<sup>+</sup> cell exposure to study the regulation of α-synuclein accumulation and early stage of oligomerisation processes.</p><p>We and others have shown the potential of GAGs, present within the lysosomes for degrading processes, to inhibit cathD activity [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref019" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0116641.ref039" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>]. Thus, we investigated modifications of GAGs in our cellular MPP<sup>+</sup> model and found an increase of total GAGs in MPP<sup>+</sup>-stressed cells, associated to an increase of HS part. This finding can be linked to the decreased expression of heparanase, one of the main GAGs degrading enzymes that we previously described to be unchanged in hippocampus during ageing [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref029" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>]. Remarkably, the impairment of HS degradation was recently suggested to play a role in α-synuclein accumulation in PD due to the mutation in NAGLU gene (rs2071046), which typically leads to the accumulation of HS in lysosomes in Sanfilippo syndrome, a human storage disorder [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>]. Considering both our results and those of Winder-Rhodes [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>], GAGs, for the first time, could be hypothesized as major players in the regulation of cathD activity and α-synuclein aggregation. Furthermore, the up-regulation of the expression of Hs2st1 and Hs6st1, two genes involved in the first steps of sulfation in HS biosynthesis and HS disaccharide analysis after MPP<sup>+</sup> stress period, whereas all the others genes were down-regulated, clearly supports the modification of the sulfation patterns in HS. Indeed, Hs2st1 transfers the sulfo group to the 2-OH position of iduronic acid (IdoA) or glucuronic acid (GlcA) within HS, whereas Hs6st1 catalyzes a 6-<italic>O</italic> sulfation of <italic>N</italic>-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). Interestingly, the expression of these two genes that was shown to be regulated by oxidative stress in a skin keratinocyte cell line [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref040" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>], correlated with the increase of Di and Tri-sulfated HS-disaccharides measured after MPP<sup>+</sup> exposure. Thus, the increase of HS amount can be associated with a modification of HS sulfation pattern.</p><p>In contrast, after MPP<sup>+</sup> stress, enzymes of CS biosynthesis were down-regulated, correlating with CS amount measurement, except Chst8 that was over-expressed suggesting a modification of sulfation pattern reinforced by the variation of Mono, Di and Tri-sulfated disaccharides measured in MPP<sup>+</sup>-stressed extracted GAGs. The full-length Chst8 protein classically has a GalNAc-4-sulfotransferase activity and transfers a sulfate group to the carbon 4 of <italic>N</italic>-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residues of <italic>N</italic>-glycoproteins, whereas the truncated form of Chst8 does so to the carbon 4 of GalNAc residues of CS chains [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref041" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>]. This could be of importance if we consider that these 4-sulfated CS-A, mainly present in adulthood, [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref042" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>] are described to inhibit axon regeneration [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref043" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>]. Moreover, the down-regulation of this 4-<italic>O</italic>-sulfation was suggested to be linked with PrP(sc) accumulation in Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref044" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>]. However, in our experiment, extracted GAGs from both normal and MPP<sup>+</sup>-stressed cells did not modify cathD activity <italic>in vitro</italic> when they were used at 1 μg/mL (although the nature of these GAGs is likely different), whereas at higher concentrations, they inhibited cathD activity. Noteworthily, neo-synthesized GAGs after complete unsulfation with sodium chlorate treatment, markedly increased cathD activity at 1 μg/mL, while higher concentrations of GAGs were less efficient to stimulate cathD activity. Consequently, the increase of GAGs amount induced by MPP<sup>+</sup> stress or the neosynthesis of GAGs after chlorate treatment suggest a complex and sophisticated balance between the existence of specific sulfation pattern in GAGs and the importance of intracellular GAGs amount to explain their specificity of effects at the intracellular level.</p><p>We recently described heparan sulfate proteoglycans as critical mediators of cell uptake by macropinocytosis and seeding of tau aggregate and α-synuclein fibrils [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref022" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]. The mature macropinosomes containing both heparan sulfate proteoglycan, i.e. GAGs, and α-synuclein, were degraded afterwards in the late endosomes lysosomes. Thus, the presence of GAGs and cathD together in lysosomes supports the hypothesis that cathD activity and α-synuclein accumulation could be regulated by GAGs. This idea is reinforced by the recent discovery of mutations in the NAGLU gene in Sanfilippo syndrome and PD [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>], resulting in the accumulation of partial HS chains within the lysosomes as a consequence of the disruption of their degradation. Remarkably, in our cellular model, sulfated GAGs amount dramatically increased after MPP<sup>+</sup> stress, probably, and partly, through the inhibition of heparanase expression. The abolition of sulfation in GAGs increased cathD activity and abolished almost completely intracellular α-synuclein amount, which reinforces the potential regulation of these events by GAGs. The colocalization studies in MPP<sup>+</sup>-stressed cells suggest a potential association of GAGs with cathD or α-synuclein, resulting in α-synuclein detection, whereas in the absence of GAGs/cathD co-localization i.e. in normal cells, α-synuclein is not detected, probably due to its degradation by cathD. Moreover, the co-labelling of HS with α-synuclein on the one hand, the co-localization of α-synuclein and CathD on the other hand, and the increase of CathD activity in cytosolic extract of MPP<sup>+</sup>-stressed-cells suggests the presence of HS in cytosolic compartment associated with cathD and α-synuclein.</p><p>Finally, treatment of cells with commercial GAGs after MPP<sup>+</sup> stress suggests that extracellular GAGs can enter inside the cells to differentially modulate, depending on their structure, i.e. mainly sulfation patterns, both α-synuclein accumulation in lysosomes and pro-apoptotic cathD activity in cytosol. These results are of interest to understand the pathological processes of spreading in synucleinopathies, considering the role of GAGs, mainly HS, in cell uptake of α-synuclein [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref022" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]. MPP<sup>+</sup> exposure increasing the sulfation of HS, which delays pro-apoptotic activity of cathD and reduces the α-synuclein degradation, leads to an increase of α-synuclein accumulation and facilitates the spreading from cell to cell.</p><p>In conclusion, this study describes cathD and GAGs as new molecular actors in MPP<sup>+</sup> toxicity. Furthermore, GAGs are proposed for the first time, as new and major actors in the lysosome degradation pathway, by regulating cathD activity and affecting two main biological processes, protein aggregation/degradation—in our case α-synuclein—and apoptosis (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0116641.g008">Fig. 8</xref>). These findings strengthen the interest on the regulation of lysosomal biogenesis and functions occurring in neurodegenerative disorders, particularly those with α-synuclein accumulation and aggregation, or with GAGs degradation and storage impairment [<xref rid="pone.0116641.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>]. Indeed, the demonstration that cathD activity is regulated by endogenous GAGs and the consequences of this regulation on α-synuclein accumulation highlight the importance of glycobiology in neurodegenerative disorders such as PD, and potential developments of new therapeutic strategies.</p><fig id="pone.0116641.g008" orientation="portrait" position="float"><object-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1371/journal.pone.0116641.g008</object-id><label>Figure 8</label><caption><title>Interplay between CathD, glycosaminoglycans (heparan sulfate (HS), chondroitin sulfate (CS)) and α-synuclein on MPP<sup>+</sup>-stressed cells.</title><p>See details in the text.</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="pone.0116641.g008"></graphic></fig></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material" id="sec005"><title>Supporting Information</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0116641.s001"><label>S1 Table</label><caption><title>Primers sequences used in Real time RT-PCR.</title><p>(TIF)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0116641.s001.tif"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0116641.s002"><label>S1 Fig</label><caption><title>α-synuclein degradation by cathepsin D.</title><p>α-synuclein degradation <italic>in vitro</italic> in the presence of different concentrations of cathD during 30 min at 37°C.
