The Genomic Landscape of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)

ABSTRACT:

In this study, we characterized the genomic landscape of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a rare genetic disease causing multisystem growth of benign tumors and other hamartomatous lesions. We analyzed 127 human tissues, including 111 TSC-associated samples and 16 non-TSC negative controls, using multiple genomic platforms including whole exome sequencing, targeted sequencing of known disease-causative loci (TSC1 and TSC2), mRNA sequencing, high-density SNP arrays, and DNA methylation arrays.

Tuberous sclerosis complex-associated CNS abnormalities depend on hyperactivation of mTORC1 and Akt

Project description:Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a dominantly inherited disease, caused by hyperactivation of the mTORC1 pathway and characterized by the development of hamartomas and benign tumors, also in the brain. Among the neurological manifestations associated with TSC, the tumor progression of static subependymal nodules (SENs) into subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGAs) is one of the major causes of morbidity and shortened life expectancy. To date, mouse modeling has failed in reproducing these two lesions. Here we report that simultaneous hyperactivation of mTORC1 and Akt pathways by co-deletion of Tsc1 and Pten, selectively in postnatal neural stem cells (pNSCs), is required for the formation of bona fide SENs and SEGAs. Notably, both lesions closely recapitulate the pathognomonic morphological and molecular features of the corresponding human abnormalities. The establishment of long-term expanding pNSC lines from mouse SENs and SEGAs made possible the identification of mTORC2 as one of the mediators conferring tumorigenic potential to SEGA pNSCs. Of note, in spite of concurrent Akt hyperactivation in mouse brain lesions, single mTOR inhibition by rapamycin was sufficient to strongly impair mouse SEGA growth. This study provides the first evidence that, concomitant with mTORC1 hyperactivation, sustained activation of Akt and mTORC2 in pNSCs is a mandatory step for the induction of SENs and SEGAs and, at the same time, makes available an unprecedented NSC-based in vivo/in vitro model to be exploited for identifying actionable targets in TSC.

DNA methylation in demyelinated multiple sclerosis hippocampus

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of genomic DNA isolated from hippocampus of multiple sclerosis patients were hybridized to Illumina HumanMethylation450 Beadchip arrays. DNA methylation profiles across approximately 45,000 CpGs were compared between 8 myelinated and 7 demyelinated tissues .

Next Generation Sequencing of Pattern II Demyelinating Brain Lesions from a Multiple Sclerosis Patient

Project description:Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with marked heterogeneity in several aspects including pathological processes. Four histopathological patterns of MS have been described. Pattern II is characterized by infiltrating macrophages and T-cells and by antibody and complement deposition. Transcriptome analysis of three patern II demyelinating brain lesions from a multiple sclerosis patient using RNA sequencing demonstrated the presence of mRNA transcripts for genes specific of activated macrophages, T and B cells as well as genes coding for immunoglobulins, complement proteins and some pattern II associated proteins, providing additional evidence supporting pattern II demyelination. Examination of 3 different demyelinating lesions identified by Immunohistopathology.

A lymphocyte-microglia-astrocyte axis in chronic active multiple sclerosis

Project description:The failure of multiple sclerosis lesions to resolve in the months after they form leads to smouldering demyelination and axon degeneration (chronic active/slowly expanding lesions). To define mechanisms underlying this disabling, progressive neurodegenerative state, and to foster development of new therapeutics, we used MRI-informed single-nucleus RNA sequencing to profile the edge of demyelinated white matter lesions at various stages of inflammation and compared with healthy control white matter.

The unique molecular signature of cortical tissue injury in Multiple Sclerosis

Project description:In the present study we addressed several questions related to the mechanisms of cortical injury. We analyzed genome wide gene expression by microarrays, comparing active multiple sclerosis lesions with highly inflammatory lesions of chronic tuberculous meningitis, with neurodegenerative lesions of Alzheimer’s disease and with normal cortex of age matched controls. To clarify which inflammatory mediators drive demyelination in the human cortex, we characterized and compared the gene expression profile of cortices derived from patients with progressive Multiple Sclerosis (pMS), Meningitis tuberculosis (MT), Alzheimers disease (AD) as well as of normal cortex from age matched controls. 3 cases of each disease were included into the study. Preceding the gene expression profiling all cases were characterized histologically and areas of interest were identified. RNA was isolated from those areas, amplified and hybridized to Agilent G4112F whole genome microarrays.
