Single cell sequencing of iPSC-dopamine neurons reconstructs disease progression and identifies HDAC4 as a regulator of Parkinson cell phenotypes

ABSTRACT: Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived dopamine neurons provide an opportunity to model Parkinson’s disease (PD) but neuronal cultures are confounded by cellular heterogeneity. By applying high-resolution single cell transcriptomic analyses to Parkinson’s iPSC-derived dopamine neurons carrying the GBA-N370S risk variant, we exploited intra-culture cellular heterogeneity to identify a progressive axis of gene expression variation leading to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Analysis of genes differentially-expressed (DE) along this axis identified the transcriptional repressor histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) as an upstream regulator of disease progression. HDAC4 was mislocalized to the nucleus in PD iPSC-derived dopamine neurons and repressed genes early in the disease axis, leading to late deficits in protein homeostasis. Treatment of iPSC-derived dopamine neurons with compounds known to modulate HDAC4 activity upregulated genes early in the DE axis, and corrected Parkinson’s-related cellular phenotypes. Our study demonstrates how single cell transcriptomics can exploit cellular heterogeneity to reveal disease mechanisms and identify therapeutic targets.

Human iPSC-based Modeling of Late-Onset Disease using Progerin-induced Aging

Project description:Reprogramming somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) sets their identity back to an embryonic age. This presents a fundamental hurdle for modeling late-onset disorders using iPSC-derived cells. We therefore developed a strategy to induce age-like features in multiple iPSC-derived lineages and tested its impact on modeling Parkinson’s disease (PD). We first describe markers that predict fibroblast donor age and observed the loss of these age-related markers following iPSC induction and re-differentiation into fibroblasts. Remarkably, age-related markers were readily induced in iPSC-derived fibroblasts or neurons following exposure to progerin including dopamine neuron-specific phenotypes such as neuromelanin accumulation. Induced aging in PD-iPSC-derived dopamine neurons revealed disease phenotypes requiring both aging and genetic susceptibility such as frank dendrite degeneration, progressive loss of tyrosine-hydroxylase expression and enlarged mitochondria or Lewy body-precursor inclusions. Our study presents a strategy for inducing age-related cellular properties and enables the modeling of late-onset disease features. Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived midbrain dopamine neurons from a young and old donor overexpressing either GFP or Progerin.

A de novo Missense Mutation in PPP2R5D Alters Dopamine Pathways and Morphology of iPSC-derived Midbrain Neurons

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) models of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) have promoted an understanding of commonalities and differences within or across patient populations by revealing the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms contributing to disease pathology. Here, we focus on developing a human model for PPP2R5D-related NDD, called Jordan syndrome, which has been linked to Early-Onset Parkinson’s Disease (EOPD). This disease model includes patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) which were differentiated into neural stem cells (NSCs) and subsequently specified into a midbrain neural stem cell and neuronal state. We sought to understand the underlying molecular and cellular phenotypes across multiple cell states and neuronal subtypes in order to gain insight into Jordan syndrome pathology. Our work revealed that iPSC-derived midbrain neurons from Jordan syndrome patients display significant differences in dopamine-associated pathways and neuronal architecture.

RNAseq of human SNc and VTA midbrain dopamine neurons isolated from post mortem material of control subjects and Parkinson's Disease patients using laser capture microdisection.

Project description:Defining the transcriptional profiles of SNc and VTA dopamine neurons could reveal mechanisms underlying their differential susceptibilities in Parkinson’s disease. To conclusively identify genes stably enriched in either VTA or SNc dopamine neurons we conducted transcriptomic profiling across 18 human subjects and revealed novel genes in human that stably define dopamine neuron subtypes by random pooling algorithm.

Characterizing the diversity of enteric neurons using Dopamine Transporter (DAT)-Cre reporter mice

Project description:Dopaminergic (DA) neurons are the predominant cell type in the midbrain that synthesize dopamine, a neurotransmitter implicated in various behavioural processes, including motor function, the reward pathway, and satiety. In diseases affecting these neurons, such as in Parkinson’s disease (PD), there is growing evidence that the gut-brain axis and selective vulnerability of DA neurons plays a crucial role in disease. Most investigations relating to DA neurons in the gut rely on immunoreactivity to tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) - a rate-limiting enzyme in the production of dopamine. However, the reliability of TH staining as a marker of DA neurons has been questioned in recent years. Our aim is to perform a comprehensive characterization of DA neurons in the gut using a well-accepted reporter mouse line, expressing a fluorescent protein under the dopamine transporter promoter (DAT). Our findings confirm a unique localization of DA neurons in the gut, and unveil that there are discrete subtypes of DA neurons in the gut, which we characterized using both immunofluorescence and single-cell transcriptomics. We observed distinct subtypes of DAT neurons expressing co-transmitters and modulators across both plexuses; some of them likely co-releasing acetylcholine, and a smaller population likely releasing nitric oxide; while others were positive for a slew of canonical DA markers (Vmat2, Girk2, Foxa2). Given the clear heterogeneity of DA gut neurons, further investigation is warranted to define their functional signatures and discover their inherent biological differences that predispose these cells to neurodegeneration.

Detailed analysis of the genetic and epigenetic signature of iPS cell-derived mesodiencephalic dopaminergic neurons

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) harbor great promise for in vitro generation of disease-relevant cell types, such as mesodiencephalic dopaminergic (mdDA) neurons involved in Parkinson’s disease. Although iPSC-derived midbrain DA neurons have been generated, detailed genetic and epigenetic characterization of such neurons is still lacking. The goal of this study is to examine the authenticity of iPSC-derived DA neurons obtained by established protocols. We FACS-purified mdDA (Pitx3gfp/+) neurons derived from mouse iPSCs and primary mdDA (Pitx3gfp/+) neurons to analyze and compare their genetic and epigenetic features. Although iPSC-derived DA neurons largely adopt characteristics of their in-vivo counterparts, relevant deviations in global gene expression and DNA methylation were found. Hypermethylated genes, mainly involved in neurodevelopment and basic neuronal functions, consequently showed reduced expression levels. Such abnormalities should be addressed as they might affect unambiguous long-term functionality and hamper the potential of iPSC-derived DA neurons for in-vitro disease modeling or cell-based therapy. RRBS methylation maps were generated for iPSCs cells, dopaminergic neurons derived from iPSCs and primary mesodiencephalic dopaminergic neurons

Systematic meta-analysis and replication of genome-wide expression studies identifies molecular pathways of Parkinson’s disease

Project description:Analysis of human dopamine (DA) from postmortem brains of 8 patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Results provide insight into the molecular processes perturbed in the PD substantia nigra. Human dopamine (DA) neurons from 8 PD and 9 control subjects were obtained. Double-stranded complementary DNA was made with a biotinylated T7(dT)-24 primer. Biotinylated complementary RNA was fragmented and hybridized to Affymetrix human genome U133_X3P microarrays. The Affymetrix .CEL files were normalized to “all probe sets” in a standardized matter, and scaled to 100 by the MAS5 algorithm implemented in the Bioconductor package.

Studying the genetic heterogeneity in mouse dopamine neurons

Project description:Midbrain dopamine neurons project to numerous targets throughout the brain to modulate various behaviors and brain states. Within this small population of neurons exists significant heterogeneity based on physiology, circuitry, and disease susceptibility. Recent studies have shown that dopamine neurons can be subdivided based on gene expression; however, the extent to which genetic markers represent functionally relevant dopaminergic subpopulations has not been fully explored. Here we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing of mouse dopamine neurons and validated studies showing that Neurod6 and Grp are selective markers for dopaminergic subpopulations. Using a combination of multiplex fluorescent in situ hybridization, retrograde labeling, and electrophysiology in mice of both sexes, we defined the anatomy, projection targets, physiological properties, and disease vulnerability of dopamine neurons based on Grp and/or Neurod6 expression. We found that the combinatorial expression of Grp and Neurod6 defines dopaminergic subpopulations with unique features. Grp/Neurod6 dopamine neurons reside in the ventromedial VTA, send projections to the medial shell of the nucleus accumbens, and have noncanonical physiological properties. Grp/Neurod6- DA neurons are found in the VTA as well as in the ventromedial portion of the SNc, where they project selectively to the dorsomedial striatum. Grp-/Neurod6 DA neurons represent a smaller VTA subpopulation, which is preferentially spared in a 6-OHDA model of Parkinson’s disease. Together, our work provides detailed characterization of Neurod6 and Grp expression in the midbrain and generates new insights into how these markers define functionally relevant dopaminergic subpopulations with distinct projection patterns, physiology, and disease vulnerability.

The transcription factor nurr1 exerts concentration-dependent effects on target genes mediating distinct biological processes

Project description:The transcription factor nurr1 plays a pivotal role in the development and maintenance of neurotransmitter phenotype in midbrain dopamine neurons. Conversely, decreased nurr1 expression is associated with a number of dopamine-related CNS disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and drug addiction. In order to better understand the nature of nurr1-responsive genes and their potential roles in dopamine neuron differentiation and survival, we used a neural cellular background in which to generate a number of stable clonal lines with graded nurr1 gene expression that approximated that seen in DA cell-rich human substantia nigra. Gene expression profiling data from these nurr1-expressing clonal lines were validated by quantitative RT-PCR and subjected to bioinformatic analyses. The present study identified a large number of nurr1-responsive genes and demonstrated the potential importance of concentration-dependent nurr1 effects in the differential regulation of distinct nurr1 target genes and biological pathways. These data support the promise of nurr1-based CNS therapeutics for the neuroprotection and/or functional restoration of DA neurons.
