Abstract
SARM1 is an inducible NAD+ hydrolase that is the central executioner of pathological axon loss. Recently, we elucidated the molecular mechanism of SARM1 activation, demonstrating that SARM1 is a metabolic sensor regulated by the levels of NAD+ and its precursor, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), via their competitive binding to an allosteric site within the SARM1 N-terminal ARM domain. In healthy neurons with abundant NAD+, binding of NAD+ blocks access of NMN to this allosteric site. However, with injury or disease the levels of the NAD+ biosynthetic enzyme NMNAT2 drop, increasing the NMN/ NAD+ ratio and thereby promoting NMN binding to the SARM1 allosteric site, which in turn induces a conformational change activating the SARM1 NAD+ hydrolase. Hence, NAD+ metabolites both regulate the activation of SARM1 and, in turn, are regulated by the SARM1 NAD+ hydrolase. This dual upstream and downstream role for NAD+ metabolites in SARM1 function has hindered mechanistic understanding of axoprotective mechanisms that manipulate the NAD+ metabolome. Here we reevaluate two methods that potently block axon degeneration via modulation of NAD+ related metabolites, 1) the administration of the NMN biosynthesis inhibitor FK866 in conjunction with the NAD+ precursor nicotinic acid riboside (NaR) and 2) the neuronal expression of the bacterial enzyme NMN deamidase. We find that these approaches not only lead to a decrease in the levels of the SARM1 activator NMN, but also an increase in the levels of the NAD+ precursor nicotinic acid mononucleotide (NaMN). We show that NaMN inhibits SARM1 activation, and demonstrate that this NaMN-mediated inhibition is important for the long-term axon protection induced by these treatments. Analysis of the NaMN-ARM domain co-crystal structure shows that NaMN competes with NMN for binding to the SARM1 allosteric site and promotes the open, autoinhibited configuration of SARM1 ARM domain. Together, these results demonstrate that the SARM1 allosteric pocket can bind a diverse set of metabolites including NMN, NAD+, and NaMN to monitor cellular NAD+ homeostasis and regulate SARM1 NAD+ hydrolase activity. The relative promiscuity of the allosteric site may enable the development of potent pharmacological inhibitors of SARM1 activation for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) because of MAPT mutation causes pathological accumulation of tau and glutamatergic cortical neuronal death by unknown mechanisms. We used human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cerebral organoids expressing tau-V337M and isogenic corrected controls to discover early alterations because of the mutation that precede neurodegeneration. At 2 months, mutant organoids show upregulated expression of MAPT, glutamatergic signaling pathways, and regulators, including the RNA-binding protein ELAVL4, and increased stress granules. Over the following 4 months, mutant organoids accumulate splicing changes, disruption of autophagy function, and build-up of tau and P-tau-S396. By 6 months, tau-V337M organoids show specific loss of glutamatergic neurons as seen in individuals with FTD. Mutant neurons are susceptible to glutamate toxicity, which can be rescued pharmacologically by the PIKFYVE kinase inhibitor apilimod. Our results demonstrate a sequence of events that precede neurodegeneration, revealing molecular pathways associated with glutamate signaling as potential targets for therapeutic intervention in FTD. © 2021

Abstract
Background: Malignant cerebral edema is a devastating complication of stroke, resulting in deterioration and death if hemicraniectomy is not performed prior to herniation. Current approaches for predicting this relatively rare complication often require advanced imaging and still suffer from suboptimal performance. We performed a pilot study to evaluate whether neural networks incorporating data extracted from routine computed tomography (CT) imaging could enhance prediction of edema in a large diverse stroke cohort. Methods: An automated imaging pipeline retrospectively extracted volumetric data, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volumes and the hemispheric CSF volume ratio, from baseline and 24 h CT scans performed in participants of an international stroke cohort study. Fully connected and long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks were trained using serial clinical and imaging data to predict those who would require hemicraniectomy or die with midline shift. The performance of these models was tested, in comparison with regression models and the Enhanced Detection of Edema in Malignant Anterior Circulation Stroke (EDEMA) score, using cross-validation to construct precision-recall curves. Results: Twenty of 598 patients developed malignant edema (12 required surgery, 8 died). The regression model provided 95% recall but only 32% precision (area under the precision-recall curve [AUPRC] 0.74), similar to the EDEMA score (precision 28%, AUPRC 0.66). The fully connected network did not perform better (precision 33%, AUPRC 0.71), but the LSTM model provided 100% recall and 87% precision (AUPRC 0.97) in the overall cohort and the subgroup with a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥ 8 (p = 0.0001 vs. regression and fully connected models). Features providing the most predictive importance were the hemispheric CSF ratio and NIHSS score measured at 24 h. Conclusions: An LSTM neural network incorporating volumetric data extracted from routine CT scans identified all cases of malignant cerebral edema by 24 h after stroke, with significantly fewer false positives than a fully connected neural network, regression model, and the validated EDEMA score. This preliminary work requires prospective validation but provides proof of principle that a deep learning framework could assist in selecting patients for surgery prior to deterioration. © 2021, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature and Neurocritical Care Society.

Abstract
Medulloblastoma, a common pediatric malignant central nervous system tumour, represent a small proportion of brain tumours in adults. Previously it has been shown that in adults, Sonic Hedgehog (SHH)-activated tumours predominate, with Wingless-type (WNT) and Group 4 being less common, but molecular risk stratification remains a challenge. We performed an integrated analysis consisting of genome-wide methylation profiling, copy number profiling, somatic nucleotide variants and correlation of clinical variables across a cohort of 191 adult medulloblastoma cases identified through the Medulloblastoma Advanced Genomics International Consortium. We identified 30 WNT, 112 SHH, 6 Group 3, and 41 Group 4 tumours. Patients with SHH tumours were significantly older at diagnosis compared to other subgroups (p < 0.0001). Five-year progression-free survival (PFS) for WNT, SHH, Group 3, and Group 4 tumours was 64.4 (48.0–86.5), 61.9% (51.6–74.2), 80.0% (95% CI 51.6–100.0), and 44.9% (95% CI 28.6–70.7), respectively (p = 0.06). None of the clinical variables (age, sex, metastatic status, extent of resection, chemotherapy, radiotherapy) were associated with subgroup-specific PFS. Survival among patients with SHH tumours was significantly worse for cases with chromosome 3p loss (HR 2.9, 95% CI 1.1–7.6; p = 0.02), chromosome 10q loss (HR 4.6, 95% CI 2.3–9.4; p < 0.0001), chromosome 17p loss (HR 2.3, 95% CI 1.1–4.8; p = 0.02), and PTCH1 mutations (HR 2.6, 95% CI 1.1–6.2; p = 0.04). The prognostic significance of 3p loss and 10q loss persisted in multivariable regression models. For Group 4 tumours, chromosome 8 loss was strongly associated with improved survival, which was validated in a non-overlapping cohort (combined cohort HR 0.2, 95% CI 0.1–0.7; p = 0.007). Unlike in pediatric medulloblastoma, whole chromosome 11 loss in Group 4 and chromosome 14q loss in SHH was not associated with improved survival, where MYCN, GLI2 and MYC amplification were rare. In sum, we report unique subgroup-specific cytogenetic features of adult medulloblastoma, which are distinct from those in younger patients, and correlate with survival disparities. Our findings suggest that clinical trials that incorporate new strategies tailored to high-risk adult medulloblastoma patients are urgently needed. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

Abstract
Purpose: Alternative splicing plays a critical role in mouse neurodevelopment, regulating neurogenesis, cortical lamination, and synaptogenesis, yet few human neurodevelopmental disorders are known to result from pathogenic variation in splicing regulator genes. Nuclear Speckle Splicing Regulator Protein 1 (NSRP1) is a ubiquitously expressed splicing regulator not known to underlie a Mendelian disorder. Methods: Exome sequencing and rare variant family-based genomics was performed as a part of the Baylor-Hopkins Center for Mendelian Genomics Initiative. Additional families were identified via GeneMatcher. Results: We identified six patients from three unrelated families with homozygous loss-of-function variants in NSRP1. Clinical features include developmental delay, epilepsy, variable microcephaly (Z-scores −0.95 to −5.60), hypotonia, and spastic cerebral palsy. Brain abnormalities included simplified gyral pattern, underopercularization, and/or vermian hypoplasia. Molecular analysis identified three pathogenic NSRP1 predicted loss-of-function variant alleles: c.1359_1362delAAAG (p.Glu455AlafsTer20), c.1272dupG (p.Lys425GlufsTer5), and c.52C>T (p.Gln18Ter). The two frameshift variants result in a premature termination codon in the last exon, and the mutant transcripts are predicted to escape nonsense mediated decay and cause loss of a C-terminal nuclear localization signal required for NSRP1 function. Conclusion: We establish NSRP1 as a gene for a severe autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disease trait characterized by developmental delay, epilepsy, microcephaly, and spastic cerebral palsy. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics.
