High-resolution analysis of parent-of-origin allelic expression in the mouse brain.

ABSTRACT: Genomic imprinting results in preferential expression of the paternal or maternal allele of certain genes. We have performed a genome-wide characterization of imprinting in the mouse embryonic and adult brain. This approach uncovered parent-of-origin allelic effects of more than 1300 loci. We identified parental bias in the expression of individual genes and of specific transcript isoforms, with differences between brain regions. Many imprinted genes are expressed in neural systems associated with feeding and motivated behaviors, and parental biases preferentially target genetic pathways governing metabolism and cell adhesion. We observed a preferential maternal contribution to gene expression in the developing brain and a major paternal contribution in the adult brain. Thus, parental expression bias emerges as a major mode of epigenetic regulation in the brain.

Parent-of-Origin Allelic Expression in the Mouse Cerebellum

Project description:The maternal and paternal genomes play different roles in mammalian brains as a result of genomic imprinting, an epigenetic regulation leading to differential expression of the parental alleles of some genes. Here we investigate genomic imprinting in the cerebellum using a newly developed Bayesian statistical model that provides unprecedented transcript-level resolution. We uncover 160 imprinted transcripts, including 41 novel and independently validated imprinted genes. Strikingly, many genes exhibit parentally biased -rather than monoallelic- expression, with different magnitudes according to age, organ, and brain region. Developmental changes in parental bias and overall gene expression are strongly correlated, suggesting combined roles in regulating gene dosage. These findings reveal the remarkable complexity of genomic imprinting, with important implications for understanding the normal and diseased brain.

Parent of origin allelic expression bias in mouse vomernasal organ

Project description:An allele of a gene can be epigenetically regulated to show a parent-of-origin biasedexpression pattern, a phenomenon referring to as genomic imprinting. Genomic imprinting ishighly tissue-specific, and mammalian brains are hotspots for this effect. Social behaviourdefects in human and various behavioural changes in mouse, had been linked toinappropriate imprinting, but little is known about how and why such effects occur.The olfactory system in the brain is the essential sensory circuitry that mediates rodent innatebehaviour. Meanwhile, monoallelic expression, a related process, is used extensively inchemosensory neurons to regulate olfactory and vomeronasal receptor choice. We have datashowing receptor gene choice is not a random process, which implies allele choice may bebiased also. The olfactory system is therefore a promising target for detecting allelicimbalance, or even novel imprinting genes, by high-resolution RNA-sequencing followed byallelic-specific transcriptomic mapping.This project is designed to detect parent-of-origin and strain-of-origin allelic expression bias inneurons from a key olfactory tissues in rodents: vomernasal organ (VNO) . RNA from reciprocally crossed F1 hybrid mice (S-cross and M-cross) from two distinct inbred strains (C57BL/6J and CAST) have been extracted respectively. After sequencing,expression levels from each allele will be distinguished by incorporating SNP and indeldifferences to the strain-specific reference genomes. Analysis will be carried out incollaboration with Gary Churchill's team at the Jackson Laboratory (who have developed amethod of analysing RNAseq data from CAST x C57BL/6J F1s).Genes with strong, reproducible allelic imbalances will be followed up to assess the functional consequences.
