RNA-seq of Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type2 (SCA2) transgenic mouse lines and age-matched wild-type

ABSTRACT: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is among the progressive neurodegenerative polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases. It is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in an encoded region of the ATXN2 gene giving rise to an expanded polyQ domain in the encoded ATXN2 protein. SCA2 is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by symptoms resulting from neurodegeneration of cerebellar Purkinje cells. To molecularly characterize SCA2 disease progression, we analyzed RNA-sequencing data produced using the cerebella of ATXN2Q127 mice collected at three distinct time points. The ATXN2Q127 mouse model contains 127 CAG repeats in the full-length ATXN2 cDNA under the control of the PC targeted Pcp2 promoter.

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by CAG repeat expansion in the ATXN2 gene. The repeat resides in an encoded region of the gene resulting in polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion which has been assumed to result in gain of function, predominantly, for the ATXN2 protein. We evaluated temporal cerebellar expression profiles by RNA sequencing of ATXN2Q127 mice versus wild-type (WT) littermates. ATXN2Q127 mice are characterized by a progressive ...[more]

Transcriptomic approach reveals splicing dysregulation in spinocerebellar ataxia type 1

Project description:Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is caused by a polyglutamine expansion in the ATXN1 gene leading to an expanded polyglutamine tract in the ATAXIN-1 protein. Ataxin-1 is broadly expressed throughout the brain and is known to be involved in regulating gene expression; however, it is not yet determined if mutant ataxin-1 regulates alternative splicing events. Utilizing SCA1 mouse models, we performed bulk RNA sequencing and looked for misregulated alternative splicing (mAS) events in SCA1 mouse cerebella. We found that mutant ataxin-1 causes mAS events to occur in the SCA1 mouse cerebella. Furthermore, we showed that abnormal splicing events predominantly occur in cell types that express mutant ataxin-1. Less than 25% of the mAS events were also differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and therefore their transcriptional dysregulation was previously unknown in the context of SCA1. We show through gene ontology analysis that mAS events reveal new biological pathways: mAS events showed changes in structural morphogenesis whereas DEGs showed changes in ion channel and transmembrane transport. We also report that mutant ataxin-1 causes dysregulation of expression of other ataxia-causing genes, providing evidence for molecular basis of clinical similarity among otherwise heterogeneous inherited cerebellar ataxias. We also identified the potential mechanism by which mutant ATXN1 causes mAS through its interaction with RBFOX1.

Vulnerability of Purkinje cells induced from spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 patient-derived iPS cells [1]

Project description:Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) is a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum. SCA6 is caused by CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in CACNA1A, which encodes Cav2.1, ?1A subunit of P/Q-type calcium channel. However, the pathogenic mechanism and effective therapeutic treatments are still unknown. Here we have succeeded in generation of differentiated Purkinje cells that carry the patient genes by combining disease-specific iPS cells and self-organizing culture technologies. SCA6-iPS cells derived Purkinje cells exhibited increased level of whole Cav2.1 protein while decreased level of its C-terminal fragment and downregulation of the transcriptional targets TAF1 and BTG1. We further demonstrate that SCA6-Purkinje cells exhibit thyroid hormone depletion-dependent degeneration, which can be suppressed by two compounds, thyroid releasing hormone and Riluzole. Thus we have constructed an in vitro disease model recapitulating both ontogenesis and pathogenesis. This model would be useful for pathogenic investigation and drug screening. Examination of mRNA profile in 1 ES cell line, two healthy donnor-derived iPS cell lines, three case-derived iPS cell lines and 1 normal dermal fibroblasts.

Transcriptional phenotype in a novel ataxin-3 knock-in mouse model for spinocerebellar ataxia type 3

Project description:Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 is the most common autosomal dominant inherited ataxia worldwide and caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the Ataxin-3 gene resulting in a polyQ expansion in the corresponding protein. The disease is characterized by neuropathological (aggregate formation, cell loss), phenotypical (gait instability, body weight reduction) and transcriptional changes. So far there is no mouse model available representing all the different aspects of the disease, but a representative model is highly needed to gain a better understanding of the disease pathomechanism. Here we characterized a novel Ataxin-3 knock-in mouse model, expressing an expansion of 304 CAG/CAAs either heterozygous or homozygous in the murine Ataxin-3 locus using biochemical, behavioral and transcriptomic approaches. Further, we correlated the transcriptional changes of the knock-in mice to those found in human SCA3 patients, to prove the comparability of our model. The novel Ataxin-3 knock-in mouse is characterized by the expression of polyQ-expanded Ataxin-3 in the murine protein, leading to massive aggregate formation, especially in brain regions known to be vulnerable in SCA3 patients, and impairment of Purkinje cells. Caused by these neuropathological changes, the mice demonstrated phenotypically reduction in body weight accompanied by gait and balance instability. Transcriptomic analysis of cerebellar tissue revealed downregulation of differentially expressed genes enriched in myelinating oligodendrocytes. Comparing these transcriptional changes with those found in cerebellar tissue of SCA3 patients, we discovered an overlap of differentially expressed genes pointing towards disturbances in the myelin sheaths and myelinating oligodendrocytes.

PolyQ-expanded ataxin-1 formed insoluble protein inclusions perturbing translation in a spinocerebellar ataxia type-1 model

Project description:Spinocerebellar ataxia type-1 is caused by an abnormally expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) tract in ataxin-1 protein. These expansions are responsible for protein misfolding and self-assembly into intranuclear inclusion bodies (IIBs) that are linked to neuronal death. Here, we describe a nuclear protein aggregation model of pathogenic human ataxin-1. Using an inducible Sleeping Beauty transposon system, we overexpressed ATXN1Q82 gene in human mesenchymal stem cells that are resistant to the early cytotoxic effects of the mutant protein. We characterized the structure and the protein composition of insoluble polyQ IIBs which gradually occupy the nuclei. In response to their formation, our transcriptome analysis reveals a cerebellum-specific perturbed protein interaction network, primarily affecting protein translation. Our study resolves the previously unknown architecture of insoluble polyQ IIBs and suggests that they affect the assembly and the function of the ribosome. Our inducible cell system faithfully models a human cerebellum at the end-stage of the disease.

Gene and pathways affected by CAG-repeat RNA-based toxicity in Drosophila

Project description:Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is one of the polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases, which are caused by a CAG repeat expansion within the coding region of the associated genes. The CAG repeat specifies glutamine, and the expanded polyQ domain with mutation confers dominant toxicity on the protein. Traditionally, studies have focused on protein toxicity in polyQ disease mechanisms. Recent findings, however, demonstrate that the CAG repeat RNA, which encodes the toxic polyQ protein, also contributes to the disease in Drosophila. To provide insight into the nature of the RNA toxicity, we extracted brain-enriched RNA from flies expressing a toxic CAG repeat mRNA (CAG100) and a non-toxic interrupted CAA/G mRNA repeat (CAA/G105) for microarray analysis. This approach identified a set of genes that are differentially expressed specifically in CAG100 flies.

Effects of polyglutamine expansion and subcellular localization of C-terminal fragment of Cav2.1 in PC12 rat pheochromocytoma cells

Project description:Polyglutamine(polyQ) expansion of α1A voltage-dependent calcium channel (Cav2.1) is the causative mutation of spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6). The C-terminal fragment (CTF) of Cav2.1 makes aggregates in the cytoplasm of SCA6 Purkinje cells and may relate to the pathogenesis. In order to identify genes associated with polyQ expansion and subcellular localization of CTF, we analyzed gene expression profiles of PC12 rat pheochromocytoma cells using Tet-off system.

Ataxin-2 modulates mRNA levels of proteins in ribosomal large and small subunit and in translation initiation complex

Project description:Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a neurodegenerative disorder, caused by an unstable CAG-repeat expansion in the SCA2 gene, which encodes a polyglutamine (polyQ) domain expansion in the protein ataxin-2 (ATXN2). The RNA-binding protein ATXN2 interacts with the poly(A)-binding protein PABPC1, localizing to ribosomes in the rough endoplasmic reticulum or in polysomes. Under cell stress ATXN2 and PABPC1 are relocated to stress granules where mRNAs are protected from translation and from degradation. It is unknown whether ATXN2 associates preferentially with specific mRNAs or how it modulates their processing. Here, we investigated the RNA profile of liver and cerebellum from adult Atxn2 knock-out (Atxn2-/-) mice, employing oligonucleotide microarrays for screening and RNA deep sequencing for validation. We consistently observed modest upregulations for the level of many mRNAs encoding proteins of the ribosomal large and small subunit as well as the translation initiation complex. Quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR in liver tissue confirmed these upregulations for the ribosomal components Rpl14, Rpl18, Rps10, Rps18, Gnb2l1, the translation initiation factors Eif2s2, Eif3s6, Pabpc1, and the ribosomal biogenesis modulator Nop10. Quantitative immunoblots substantiated the effects for PABPC1. Thus, the physiological role of ATXN2 modifies the abundance of cellular translation factors.

Ataxin-2 adapts ribosomal mRNA levels and S6 phosphorylation to nutrient availability, with effects on protein synthesis and growth

Project description:Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a neurodegenerative disorder, which is caused by an unstable CAG-repeat expansion in the SCA2 gene, that encodes a polyglutamine tract (polyQ-tract) expansion in ataxin-2 protein (ATXN2). The RNA-binding protein ATXN2 interacts with the poly(A)-binding protein PABPC1, localizing to ribosomes at the rough endoplasmic reticulum or to polysomes. Under cell stress ATXN2 and PABPC1 show redistribution to stress granules where mRNAs are kept away from translation and from degradation. It is unknown whether ATXN2 associates preferentially with specific mRNAs or how it modulates their processing. Here, we investigated Atxn2 knock-out (Atxn2-/-) mouse liver, cerebellum and midbrain regarding their RNA profile, employing oligonucleotide microarrays for screening and RNA deep sequencing for validation. Modest ~1.4-fold upregulations were observed for the level of many mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins and other translation pathway factors. Quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR and immunoblots in liver tissue confirmed these effects and demonstrated an inverse correlation also with PABPC1 mRNA and protein. ATXN2 deficiency also enhanced phosphorylation of the ribosomal protein S6, while impairing the global protein synthesis rate, suggesting a block between the enhanced translation drive and the impaired execution. Furthermore, ATXN2 overexpression and deficiency retarded cell cycle progression. ATXN2 mRNA levels showed a delayed phasic twofold increase under amino acid and serum starvation, similar to ATXN3, but different from motor neuron disease genes MAPT and SQSTM1. ATXN2 mRNA levels depended particularly on mTOR signalling. Altogether the data implicate ATXN2 in the adaptation of mRNA translation and cell growth to nutrient availability and stress. Factorial design comparing ataxin-2 knock-out mice with wild type littermates in three different tissues (midbrain, cerebellum, liver) and 3 different ages.
