Setd5 haploinsufficiency alters neuronal network connectivity and leads to autistic-like behaviors in mice [bulk RNA]

ABSTRACT: SETD5, a gene linked to intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a member of the SET-domain family and encodes a putative histone methyltransferase (HMT). To date, the mechanism by which SETD5 haploinsufficiency causes ASD/ID remains an unanswered question. Setd5 is the highly conserved mouse homolog, and although the Setd5 null mouse is embryonic lethal, the heterozygote is viable. Morphological tracing and multi electrode array was used on cultured cortical neurons. MRI was conducted of adult mouse brains and immunohistochemistry of juvenile mouse brains. RNA-Seq was used to investigate gene expression in the developing cortex. Behavioral assays were conducted on adult mice. Setd5+/- cortical neurons displayed significantly reduced synaptic density and neuritic outgrowth in vitro, with corresponding decreases in network activity and synchrony by electrophysiology. A specific subpopulation of fetal Setd5+/- cortical neurons showed altered gene expression of neurodevelopment-related genes. Setd5+/- animals manifested several autism-like behaviors, including hyperactivity, cognitive deficit, and altered social interactions. Anatomical differences were observed in Setd5+/- adult brains, accompanied by a deficit of deep-layer cortical neurons in the developing brain. Our data converge on a picture of abnormal neurodevelopment driven by Setd5 haploinsufficiency, consistent with a highly penetrant risk factor.

Transcriptional profiling of dorsal striatum in 1-year-old WT mice and Ash1l heterozygous mice

Project description:Ash1l encodes a histone methyltransferase, a member of the trithorax group proteins, which regulates developmental essential gene expression by catalyzing H3K36 methylation and counteracting polycomb silencing. Accumulating reports suggest the loss-of-function mutants in Ash1l gene are associated with intellectual disability (ID), attention-deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Tourette syndrome (TS) and multiple congenital anomalies (MCA). We performed transcriptional profiling of dorsal striatum in 1-year-old Ash1l mutant brain via RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Ash1l haploinsufficiency induces transcription alternation of genes involved in synaptic function and cortical development, implicating the deficits in synapse pruning and behavior in adult mice.

CHD8 haploinsufficiency alters the developmental trajectories of human excitatory and inhibitory neurons linking autism phenotypes with transient cellular defects

Project description:Chromodomain helicase DNA-binding 8 (CHD8) is one of the most frequently mutated genes causative of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While its phenotypic spectrum often encompasses macrocephaly and hence implicates cortical abnormalities in this form of ASD, the neurodevelopmental impact of human CHD8 haploinsufficiency remains unexplored. Here we combined human cerebral organoids and single cell transcriptomics to define the effect of ASD-linked CHD8 mutations on human cortical development. We found that CHD8 haploinsufficiency causes a major disruption of neurodevelopmental trajectories with an accelerated generation of inhibitory neurons and a delayed production of excitatory neurons alongside the ensuing protraction of the proliferation phase. This imbalance may contribute to the significant enlargement of cerebral organoids in line with the macrocephaly observed in patients with CHD8 mutations. By adopting an isogenic design of patient-specific mutations and mosaic cerebral organoids, we define genotype-phenotype relationships and uncover their cell-autonomous nature. Finally, our results assign different CHD8-dependent molecular defects to particular cell types, pointing to an abnormal and extended program of proliferation and alternative splicing specifically affected in, respectively, the radial glial and immature neuronal compartments. By identifying temporally restricted cell-type specific effects of human CHD8 mutations, our study uncovers developmental alterations as reproducible endophenotypes for neurodevelopmental disease modelling.

Consequences of postnatal Tshz3 deletion: implications for autism spectrum disorder

Project description:We recently identified heterozygous deletions of the gene TSHZ3, which encodes a Zn-finger transcription factor, in patients with a syndrome including autistic features and provided evidence in mice for a link between Tshz3 haploinsufficiency, defects in cortical projection neurons (CPNs) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD)-like abnormalities. To get more insight into when and where TSHZ3 is required for the proper development of the brain, we generated and characterized a novel mouse model of conditional Tshz3 deletion in projection neurons from postnatal day 2-3 onward. These mice exhibit altered cortical expression of genes encoding for synaptic components, electrophysiological and synaptic changes in layer 5 CPNs, impaired corticostriatal glutamate transmission and plasticity, as well as strong ASD-relevant behavioral deficits. These data, by revealing a crucial postnatal role of TSHZ3 in the development and function of the corticostriatal circuitry that might be determinant for ASD pathogenesis, offer a novel ASD model and further open the possibility for an early postnatal therapeutic window for the syndrome linked to TSHZ3 haploinsufficiency.

Co-ordinate inhibiton of autism candidate genes by topoisomerase inhibitors [array]

Project description:Topoisomerases are necessary for the expression of neurodevelopmental genes, and are mutated in some patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We have studied the effects of inhibitors of Topoisomerase 1 (Top1) and Topoisomerase 2 (Top2) enzymes on mouse cortical neurons. We find that topoisomerases selectively inhibit long genes (>100kb), with little effect on all other gene expression. Using ChIPseq against RNA Polymerase II (Pol2) we show that the Top1 inhibitor topotecan blocks transcriptional elongation of long genes specifically. Many of the genes inhibited by topotecan are candidate ASD genes, leading us to propose that topoisomerase inhibition might contribute to ASD pathology. 9 experiments, gene expression measured by Affymetrix microarray. 1) cultured mouse cortical neurons treated with 300nM topotecan vs vehicle-treated controls 2) cultured mouse neurons treated with 1uM topotecan vs vehicle-treated controls 3) cultured mouse cortical neurons treated with 3uM ICRF-193 vs vehicle-treated controls. 4) cultured mouse cortical neurons treated with 10 uM irinotecan vs vehicle-treated controls. 5) cultured mouse cortical neurons treated with 3-1000 nM topotecan vs vehicle treated controls 6) cultured mouse cortical neurons treated with lentivirus expressing shRNA against Top1 and Top2b vs scrambled shRNA controls 7) cultured mouse cortical neurons treated with DRB vs vehicle-treated controls 8) cultured mouse cortical neurons treated with hydrogen peroxide or paraquat vs vehicle-treated controls 9) cultured mouse cortical neurons treated with topotecan with or without subsequent drug washout, vs vehicle-treated controls.

The chromatin modifier CHD8 targets autism risk genes during human neurodevelopmentM-BM-

Project description:Whole-exome sequencing studies have implicated chromatin modifiers and transcriptional regulators in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through the identification of de novo loss of function mutations in affected individuals. Many of these genes are co-expressed in mid-fetal human cortex, suggesting ASD risk genes converge in regulatory networks that are perturbed in ASD during neurodevelopment. To elucidate such networks we mapped promoters and enhancers bound by the chromodomain helicase CHD8, which is strongly enriched in ASD-associated de novo loss of function mutations, using ChIP-seq in mid-fetal human brain, human neural stem cells (hNSCs), and embryonic mouse cortex. We find that CHD8 targets are strongly enriched for ASD risk genes that converge in ASD-associated co-expression networks in human midfetal cortex. CHD8 knockdown in hNSCs results in significant dysregulation of ASD risk genes targeted by CHD8, as well as additional genes important for neurodevelopment, including members of the Wnt/M-NM-2-catenin signaling pathway. Integration of CHD8 binding data with genetic and gene co-expression data in ASD risk models provides support for additional ASD risk genes. Together, our results suggest that loss of CHD8 function contributes to ASD through regulatory perturbation of other ASD risk genes during human cortical development. Two biological replicates for each ChIP with appropriate Input control Four biological replicates for each condition in knockdown experiments (Ctrl construct, Chd8 target C, and Chd8 target G)

RNA-seq transcriptonal profiling in whole hippocampus in WT and Arid1b+/- mice

Project description:There is growing evidence for the involvement of ARID1B, a SWI/SNF ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling subunit, in a broad range of human disorders. Sequencing studies have recurrently implicated ARID1B haploinsufficiency in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), non-syndromic intellectual disability (ID), corpus callosum agenesis, and short stature. In addition, ARID1B is by far the most common cause of Coffin-Siris Syndrome (CSS), a monogenic developmental delay syndrome characterized by a combination of the neuropsychiatric and physical abnormalities mentioned above. To understand how ARID1B mutations lead to these phenotypes, we generated Arid1b mutant mice, which exhibited physical manifestations of developmental delay and behaviors reminiscent of ASD. In the brain, Arid1b haploinsufficiency resulted in changes in the expression of SWI/SNF- regulated genes implicated in ASD.
