Abstract
ApoE4 is the primary risk factor for Alzheimer Disease (AD). Early AD pathological events first affect the neuronal endolysosomal system, which in turn causes neuronal protein aggregation and cell death. Despite the crucial influence of lysosomes upon AD pathophysiology, and that apoE4 localizes to lysosomes, the influence of apoE4 on lysosomal function remains unexplored. We find that expression of apoE4 in neuronal cell lines results in lysosomal alkalinization and impaired lysosomal function. To identify driving factors for these defects, we performed quantitative lysosomal proteome profiling. This revealed that apoE4 expression results in differential regulation of numerous lysosomal proteins, correlating with apoE allele status and disease severity in AD brains. In particular, apoE4 expression results in the depletion of lysosomal Lgals3bp and the accumulation of lysosomal Tmed5. We additionally validated that these lysosomal protein changes can be targeted to modulate lysosomal function. Taken together, this work thereby reveals that apoE4 causes widespread lysosomal defects through remodeling the lysosomal proteome, with the lysosomal Tmed5 accumulation and Lgals3bp depletion manifesting as lysosomal alkalinization in apoE4 neurons.

Abstract
Translating high-confidence (hc) autism spectrum disorder (ASD) genes into viable treatment targets remains elusive. We constructed a foundational protein-protein interaction (PPI) network in HEK293T cells involving 100 hcASD risk genes, revealing over 1,800 PPIs (87% novel). Interactors, expressed in the human brain and enriched for ASD but not schizophrenia genetic risk, converged on protein complexes involved in neurogenesis, tubulin biology, transcriptional regulation, and chromatin modification. A PPI map of 54 patient-derived missense variants identified differential physical interactions, and we leveraged AlphaFold-Multimer predictions to prioritize direct PPIs and specific variants for interrogation in Xenopus tropicalis and human forebrain organoids. A mutation in the transcription factor FOXP1 led to reconfiguration of DNA binding sites and altered development of deep cortical layer neurons in forebrain organoids. This work offers new insights into molecular mechanisms underlying ASD and describes a powerful platform to develop and test therapeutic strategies for many genetically-defined conditions.

Abstract
The ɛ4 allele of the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE), which translates to the APOE4 isoform, is the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD). Within the CNS, APOE is produced by a variety of cell types under different conditions, posing a challenge for studying its roles in AD pathogenesis. However, through powerful advances in research tools and the use of novel cell culture and animal models, researchers have recently begun to study the roles of APOE4 in AD in a cell type-specific manner and at a deeper and more mechanistic level than ever before. In particular, cutting-edge omics studies have enabled APOE4 to be studied at the single-cell level and have allowed the identification of critical APOE4 effects in AD-vulnerable cellular subtypes. Through these studies, it has become evident that APOE4 produced in various types of CNS cell - including astrocytes, neurons, microglia, oligodendrocytes and vascular cells - has diverse roles in AD pathogenesis. Here, we review these scientific advances and propose a cell type-specific APOE4 cascade model of AD. In this model, neuronal APOE4 emerges as a crucial pathological initiator and driver of AD pathogenesis, instigating glial responses and, ultimately, neurodegeneration. In addition, we provide perspectives on future directions for APOE4 research and related therapeutic developments in the context of AD.
