The glaucoma-associated E50K mutation in optineurin (OPTN) is known to affect autophagy and cause the apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), but the pathogenic mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we investigated whether the OPTN (E50K) mutation caused TDP-43 aggregation by disrupting autophagy in vivo and in vitro. OPTN (E50K) mutant mice were generated and analysed for genotype and phenotype. Adeno-associated virus type 2 vectors containing either GFP only, GFP-tagged wild-type OPTN or GFP-tagged E50K-mutated OPTN were used to transfect R28 cells. Loss of RGCs decreased retinal thickness and visual impairment were observed in OPTN (E50K) mice compared with WT mice. Moreover, overexpression of E50K OPTN induced R28 cell apoptosis. Increased p62/SQSTM1 and LC3-II levels indicated that autophagic flux was inhibited and contributed to TDP-43 aggregation in vivo and in vitro. We found that rapamycin effectively reduced the aggregation of TDP-43 in OPTN (E50K) mice and decreased the protein levels of p62/SQSTM1 and the autophagic marker LC3-II. Moreover, rapamycin increased the RGC number and visual function of E50K mice. In addition, we also observed increased cytoplasmic TDP-43 in the spinal cord and motor dysfunction in 24-month-old OPTN (E50K) mice, indicating that TDP-43 accumulation may be the common pathological mechanism of glaucoma and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In conclusion, the disruption of autophagy by OPTN (E50K) affected the degradation of TDP-43 and may play an important role in OPTN (E50K)-mediated glaucomatous retinal neurodegeneration.
