Hypothalamic transcriptome in Prader-Willi syndrome

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional analysis of brain tissue from people with molecularly defined causes of obesity may highlight novel disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets. Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic obesity syndrome characterised by severe hyperphagia. We performed RNA sequencing of the hypothalamus from 4 individuals with PWS and 4 age-matched controls.

A MYT1L Syndrome mouse model recapitulates patient phenotypes and reveals altered brain development due to disrupted neuronal maturation [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Human genetics have defined a new autism-associated syndrome caused by loss-of-function mutations in MYT1L, a transcription factor known for enabling fibroblast-to-neuron conversions. However, how MYT1L mutation causes autism, ADHD, intellectual disability, obesity, and brain anomalies is unknown. Here, we develop a mouse model of this syndrome. Physically, Myt1l haploinsufficiency causes obesity, white-matter thinning, and microcephaly in the mice, mimicking clinical phenotypes. Studies during brain development reveal disrupted gene expression, mediated in part by loss of Myt1l gene target activation, and highlight precocious neuronal differentiation as the mechanism for microcephaly. In contrast, adult studies reveal that mutation results in failure of transcriptional and chromatin maturation, echoed in disruptions in baseline physiological properties of neurons. This results in behavioral features including hyperactivity, hypotonia, and social alterations, with more severe phenotypes in males. Overall, these studies provide insight into the mechanistic underpinnings of this disorder and enable future preclinical studies.

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and large offspring syndrome involve alterations in methylome, transcriptome, and chromatin configuration [WGBS]

Project description:Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) is the most common epigenetic overgrowth syndrome, caused by epigenetic alterations on chromosome 11p15. In ~50% of patients with BWS, the imprinted region KvDMR1 (IC2) is hypomethylated. Nearly all children with BWS develop organ overgrowth and up to 28% develop cancer during childhood. The global epigenetic alterations beyond the 11p15 region in BWS are not currently known. Uncovering these alterations at the methylome, transcriptome, and chromatin architecture levels are necessary steps to improve the diagnosis and understanding of patients with BWS. Here we characterized the complete epigenetic profiles of BWS IC2 individuals together with the animal model of BWS, bovine large offspring syndrome (LOS). A novel finding of this research is the identification of two molecular subgroups of BWS IC2 individuals. Genome-wide alterations were detected for DNA methylation, transcript abundance, alternative splicing events of RNA, chromosome compartments, and topologically associating domains (TADs) in BWS and LOS, with shared alterations identified between species. Altered chromosome compartments and TADs were correlated with differentially expressed genes in BWS and LOS. Together, we highlight genes and genomic regions that have the potential to serve as targets for biomarker development to improve current molecular diagnostic methodologies for BWS.

Differential Expression and Correlation Analysis of Global Transcriptome for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome

Project description:In order to investigate the gene expression patterns and molecular regulatory mechanisms of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), the global transcriptome expression profiles of OSAHS patients and healthy people were analyzed using transcriptome sequencing technology. Differential expression of circular RNA, microRNA, long noncoding RNA, and messenger RNA was investigated between the two groups.

Proteomics Analysis of Human Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome Serum

Project description:Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a cluster of risk factors that can lead to a disorder of energy utilization and storage and raises risk for heart disease and other health problems. Obesity is a prevalent metabolic disorder in the developed countries and in large parts of developing world that is one of main features of being diagnosed as MS. However, only part of obese people will develop into MS. Therefore, it is worthwhile to search more biomarkers implicated in metabolic syndrome that can help understanding the complex pathogenetic process of this disease better. In this study, we have performed a human serum proteomic analysis of MS using 2-D gel electrophoresis and liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry.

Transcriptome-guided GLP-1 receptor therapy rescues metabolic and behavioral disruptions in a Bardet-Biedl Syndrome mouse model

Project description:Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS), a ciliopathy characterized by obesity, hyperphagia, and learning deficits, arises from mutations in Bbs genes. More exacerbated symptoms occur with mutations in genes encoding the BBSome, a complex regulating primary cilia function. We investigated the mechanisms underlying BBS-induced obesity using a Bbs5 knockout (Bbs5-/-) mouse model. Bbs5-/- mice displayed hyperphagia, learning deficits, glucose/insulin intolerance, and disrupted metabolic hormones, phenocopying human BBS. They displayed an unique immunophenotype in white adipose tissue with increased proinflammatory macrophages and dysfunctional regulatory T cells, suggesting a distinct mechanism for adiposity compared to typical obesity models. Additionally, Bbs5-/- mice exhibited pancreatic islet hyperplasia but failed to normalize blood glucose, suggesting defective insulin action. Hypothalamic transcriptomics revealed dysregulated endocrine signaling pathways with functional analyses confirming defects in insulin, leptin, and cholecystokinin (CCK) signalling, while preserving glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) responsiveness. Notably, treatment with a GLP-1R agonist effectively alleviated hyperphagia, body weight gain, improved glucose tolerance, and circulating metabolic hormones in Bbs5-/- mice. This study establishes Bbs5-/- mice as a valuable translational model of BBS to understand the pathogenesis and develop better treatments. Our findings highlight the therapeutic potential of GLP-1R agonists for managing BBS-associated metabolic dysregulation, warranting further investigation for clinical application.
