Figure Legend Snippet: TDP-43 loss of function directly leads to cryptic splicing and reduced gene expression A. The levels of transcripts with cryptic exons in AKT3 , CACNA1E , CEP290 , KALRN , KCNQ2 , MNAT1 , RAP1GAP , SETD5 , STXBP5L , and SYT7 were increased upon TDP-43 knockdown. qPCR experiments were performed in iNeurons treated with TDP-43 shRNAs for seven days. The level of GAPDH was used for normalization. The level in control condition was set to 1. Mean ± s.e.m., n=3, unpaired t-test, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001, **** p<0.0001. B. The total transcript levels of AKT3 , CACNA1E , KALRN , KCNQ2 , RAP1GAP , SETD5 , and SYT7 were decreased upon TDP-43 knockdown while the total transcript level of STXBP5L was increased. qPCR experiments were performed in iNeurons treated with TDP-43 shRNAs for seven days. The level of GAPDH was used for normalization. The level in control condition was set to 1. Mean ± s.e.m., n=3, unpaired t-test, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001, **** p<0.0001. C. The total protein levels of UNC13A , KALRN , MNAT1 , RAP1GAP , and SYT7 were decreased upon TDP-43 knockdown. Western blotting experiments were performed in iNeurons treated with TDP-43 shRNAs for twelve days. The level of GAPDH or Tubulin was used for normalization. The level in control condition was set to 1. Mean ± s.e.m., n=3, unpaired t-test, *** p<0.001, **** p<0.0001. D. TDP-43 binding sites or UG-rich motifs were detected in the cryptic splicing region of KALRN , KCNQ2 , MNAT1 , RAP1GAP , SETD5 , and SYT7 . Lane 1, RNA-seq track of TDP-43 positive nuclei from FTD/ALS patient brain tissues; Lane 2, RNA-seq track of TDP-43 negative nuclei from FTD/ALS patient brain tissues; Lane 3, CLIP-seq track of TDP-43 in SH-SY5Y cells; Lane 4, percentage of UG (TG) or GU (GT) dinucleotides in 20bp bins, displayed as IGV tracks with a data range of 0.4–1; red rectangle, cryptic exon.

Figure Legend Snippet: Cryptic splicing targets of TDP-43 are critical for maintaining neuronal activity A. Schematic diagrams show the experimental design of multielectrode array (MEA) recordings upon knockdown of TDP-43 or its cryptic splicing targets in iNeurons in two batches. Batch 1 examined the effects of a reduction in TDP-43, KALRN, RAP1GAP, SYT7, and UNC13A, and Batch 2 examined the effects of a reduction in TDP-43, KCNQ2, MNAT1, and STMN2. Knockdown or scramble shRNAs were administered on Day 21 in both batches. A first evaluation was conducted on Day 40 in Batch 1 and on Day 30 in Batch 2 (T1). A second evaluation was conducted on Day 48 in Batch 1 and on Day 35 in Batch 2 (T2). B. MEA analysis shows decreases in the weighted mean firing rate (spontaneous firing) and the number of bursts (excitability) upon reductions in TDP-43, RAP1GAP, SYT7, KCNQ2, and MNAT1 at T1, as well as decreases in the synchrony index (connectivity) upon reductions in TDP-43, KALRN, RAP1GAP, SYT7, UNC13A, KCNQ2, and MNAT1 at T2. Mean ± s.e.m., n=8, one-way ANOVA, * p<0.05, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001, **** p<0.0001.
