Next generation sequencing reveals upregulation of the lncRNA LINC-PINT in the substantia nigra of human Parkinson's disease patients compared to control donors

ABSTRACT: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, involving the selecive death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta brain region. Here, we performed next generation sequencing on RNA extracted from human substantia nigra tissue. The samples, acquired from the Netherland's Brain Bank, were taken post-mortem from PD and non-PD control donors. Analysis of the data revealed an upregulation of lncRNA LINC-PINT in PD substantia nigra. LINC-PINT interracts with the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), inhibiting the tracription of multiple targets. Correspondingly, analysis of the data revealed that targets of PRC2 displayed larger disease-associated differences as compared to other genes, as well as enrichment for downregulation, suggesting that the differential expression of LINC-PINT in PD effects LINC-PINT/PRC2 interaction as well.

The human lncRNA LINC-PINT inhibits tumor cell migration through a highly conserved sequence element

Project description:It is now obvious that the majority of cellular transcripts do not code for proteins, and a significant subset of them are long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). Many lncRNAs show aberrant expression in cancer, and some of them have been linked to cellular transformation. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we characterize the function of the p53-regulated human lncRNA LINC-PINT in cancer. We found that LINC-PINT acts as tumor suppressor lncRNA. Its expression is downregulated in multiple types of cancer and correlates with good prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma. LINC-PINT inhibits the migration capacity and invasive phenotype of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, and it does so by repressing a proinvasion gene signature in a PRC2-dependent manner. By applying cross-species conservation analysis combined with functional experimental validations we found that the function of LINC-PINT is highly dependent on a short sequence conserved across mammals, sequence that mediates the interaction with PRC2. We propose that LINC-PINT may function as a molecular exchanger that provides PRC2 to active gene promoters for their silencing, mechanisms that could be shared by other PRC2-interacting lncRNAs.

TWIST1 methylation by SETD6 selectively antagonizes LINC-PINT expression in Glioblastoma multiforme

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor among adults, which is characterized by high invasion, migration and proliferation abilities. One important process that contributes to the invasiveness of GBM is the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT is regulated by a set of defined transcription factors which tightly regulate this process, among them is the basic helix-loop-helix family member, TWIST1. Here we show that TWIST1 is methylated on lysine-33 at chromatin by SETD6, a methyltransferase with expression levels correlating with poor survival in GBM patients. RNA-seq analysis in U251 GBM cells suggested that both SETD6 and TWIST1 regulate cell adhesion and migration processes. We further show that TWIST1 methylation attenuates the expression of the long-non-coding RNA, LINC-PINT, thereby suppressing EMT in GBM. Mechanistically, TWIST1 methylation represses the transcription of LINC-PINT by increasing the occupancy of EZH2 and the catalysis of the repressive H3K27me3 mark at the LINC-PINT locus. Under un-methylated conditions, TWIST1 dissociates from the LINC-PINT locus, allowing the expression of LINC-PINT which leads to increased cell adhesion and decreased cell migration. Together, our findings unravel a new mechanistic dimension for selective expression of LINC-PINT mediated by TWIST1 methylation.

Transcriptomic profiling of substantia nigra and putamen in Parkinson’s disease

Project description:We report RNA sequencing results of human substantia nigra and putamen samples from Parkinson's disease patients and controls. Each substantia nigra sample is the result of pooling brain tissue from two individuals with the same , while each putamen sample is the result of pooling brain tissue from three individuals. We found 354 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the SN of PD patients compared to age-matched controls, while we observed 261 DEGs in the putamen samples. The top-enriched pathways from the SN were associated with “protein folding” and “neurotransmitter transport”, and the putamen DEGs with “synapse organization”. In summary, our data confirms the key role of protein folding and neuronal degeneration in the pathology of PD, and highlights new genes and pathways that have not yet been explored in the context of PD.

Proteomic characterization of synaptosomes from human substantia nigra indicates altered mitochondrial translation in Parkinson’s disease

Project description:Parkinson´s disease (PD) feature a progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Additionally, numerous studies indicate an altered synaptic function during the course of PD. In order to characterize the proteome of synaptosomes isolated from the substantia nigra and to gain new insights into the molecular processes underlying the alteration of synaptic function in PD, a proteomic study was conducted. Synaptosomes were isolated from substantia nigra tissue of control subjects free of pathology (N = 5) and individuals at advanced PD stages (N = 5) by density gradient centrifugation and further analyzed by mass spectrometry. 362 proteins were identified and assigned to the synaptosomal core proteome. This core proteome includes all proteins expressed within the synapses without regards to data analysis software, gender, age or disease. The CD9 antigen was overrepresented and fourteen proteins, among them Thymidine kinase 2 (TK2), mitochondrial, 39S ribosomal protein L37, mitochondrial,, Neurolysin, and Methionine-tRNA ligase, mitochondrial (MARS2)) were underrepresented suggesting an alteration in mitochondrial translation in PD synaptosomes.

Transcriptional interaction network analyses in dorsal nucleus of vagus nerve, locus coeruleus and substantia nigra in Parkinson's disease

Project description:We analyzed the transcriptomic profile of post-mortem explants from dorsal nucleus of vagus nerve, locus coeruleus and substantia nigra obtained from controls and Braak 4 (BK4) and 5 (BK5) stages of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients in order to investigate how gene-gene interaction patterns vary along different anatomical regions in patients and controls. The comparative transcriptional networks analyses indicate that the main hubs in PD networks are related to ubquitin/proteasome, oxidative stress, neuroprotection, neurogenesis and PD associated proteins. Transcriptomic profiles of controls and Parkinson’s disease patients were compared using SAM test for LC or Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney test for SN and VA (p<0.005 and p<0.01, respectively) in order to identify differentially expressed transcripts.

Transcriptional and interactome network analyses of Substantia Nigra in progressive stages of Parkinson’s disease

Project description:We analyzed the transcriptomic profile of post-mortem substantia nigra explants from controls, intermediate - Braak 3 (BK3) and 4 (BK4) - stages of Parkinson’s disease in order to investigate how gene-gene interaction patterns vary along disease development. The comparative transcriptional networks analyses indicate that the main hubs in CT network showed less gene-gene connections in BK3 and BK4 networks, probably reflecting changes in SN cell metabolism, population and density along PD stages.

Gene expression profiling of substantia nigra: a post-mortem study in Parkinson's disease and control subjects

Project description:Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by bradykinesia, tremor, and rigidity; in addition, postural instability sets in as the disease progresses. Non-motor symptoms of the disease include cognitive, behavioral, and neuropsychiatric changes, sensory and sleep disturbances that may precede the motor symptoms of the disease itself. The peculiar pathological features of PD are decreased dopaminergic neurons and dopamine levels in the substantia nigra pars compacta and pontine locus ceruleus. The study of the transcriptome plays a major role in the identification of genes and gene regulatory mechanisms in multifactorial neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease itself. Therefore, we proposed to study the transcriptome directly in the midbrain containing the "Substantia nigra.The study was performed in 8 subjects with PD and 6 normal control subjects, using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. Results: With the use of an ad hoc bioinformatics pipeline, gene expression profiles in the different PD subjects were obtained and compared to those of controls. In detail, the results obtained from the data analysis indicated 92 differentially expressed genes (FDR-adjusted p value ≤0.05 and fold-change less than -1.5 or greater than +1.5) of which 33 genes were up-regulated while 59 were down-regulated. Conclusions: Functional analysis of the differentially expressed genes revealed several genes involved in different canonical pathways indicating their likely significant role in Parkinson's disease.
