Project description:This strand-specific array is performed to characterize expression features of Ube3a-ATS, including its imprinting status, its exon-intron structure, its transcriptional initiation and termination site as well as its polyadenylation status. The array contains reverse-complementary probes detecting transcripts from both strands and therefore we are able to pick up signal from both Ube3a sense and antisense. By comparing wild-type with various mutants, and total RNA with polyA RNA, we concluded that Ube3a-ATS is a paternally imprinted gene covering the whole gene body of Ube3a in the antisense orientation. It does not have an obvious exon-intron structure. Its transcription initiates at Snrpn major promoter and terminates ~40kb upstream of Ube3a transcriptional start site. Total RNA from Snrpn-Ube3a maternal deletion mutant (del s-u/+), its wild-type littermate, paternal deletion mutant and its wildtype littermate were analyzed. Mutant mice with S-U maternal deletion and Snrpn promoter paternal deleiton which leads to depletion of Ube3a-ATS (del s-u/0.9 and del s-u/4.8) were also analyzed. polyA RNA was purified from the sample 2 and sample 4. All eight samples were hybridized to the custom 8X60k Agilent CGH array.

Project description:Ubiquitin-protein ligase E3A (UBE3A) has dual functions as a E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase and coactivator of nuclear hormone receptors. Mutations or deletions of the maternally inherited UBE3A gene cause Angelman syndrome. Here, we performed transcriptome profiling in the hippocampus of Ube3am+/p+ and Ube3am-/p+ mice, and determined that the expression of the retinoic acid (RA) signalling pathway was downregulated in Ube3a-deficient mice compared to WT mice. Furthermore, we demonstrated that UBE3A directly interacts with RARα and may function as a coactivator of the nuclear receptor RARα to participate in the regulation of gene expression. Loss of UBE3A expression caused the downregulation of the expression of RA-related genes, including Erbb4, Dpysl3, Calb1, Pten and Arhgap5 in Ube3am-/p+ mice brain tissues. This work revealed a new role for UBE3A in regulating retinoic acid (RA) signalling downstream genes and hopefully to shed light on the potential drug target of AS.

Project description:The dysregulation of genes in neurodevelopmental disorders that lead to social and cognitive phenotypes is a complex, multilayered process involving both genetics and epigenetics. Parent-of-origin effects of deletion and duplication of the 15q11-q13 locus leading to Angelman, Prader-Willi, and Dup15q syndromes are due to imprinted genes, including UBE3A, which is maternally expressed exclusively in neurons. UBE3A encodes a ubiquitin E3 ligase protein with multiple downstream targets, including RING1B, which in turn monoubiquitinates histone variant H2A.Z. To understand the impact of neuronal UBE3A levels on epigenome-wide marks of DNA methylation, histone variant H2A.Z positioning, active H3K4me3 promoter marks, and gene expression, we took a multi-layered genomics approach. We performed an siRNA knockdown of UBE3A in two human neuroblastoma cell lines, including parental SH-SY5Y and the SH(15M) model of Dup15q. Genes differentially methylated across cells with differing UBE3A levels were enriched for functions in gene regulation, DNA binding, and brain morphology. Importantly, we found that altering UBE3A levels had a profound epigenetic effect on the methylation levels of up to half of known imprinted genes. Genes with differential H2A.Z peaks in SH(15M) compared to SH-SY5Y were enriched for ubiquitin and protease functions and associated with autism, hypoactivity, and energy expenditure. Together, these results support a genome-wide epigenetic consequence of altered UBE3A levels in neurons and suggest that UBE3A regulates an imprinted gene network involving DNA methylation patterning and H2A.Z deposition.

Project description:UBE3A encodes a E3 ubiquitin ligase whose loss from the maternal allele causes the neurodevelopmental disorder Angelman syndrome. Previous studies of UBE3A function have not examined full Ube3a deletion in mouse, the complexity of imprinted gene networks in brain, nor the molecular basis of systems-level cognitive dysfunctions in Angelman syndrome. We therefore utilized a systems biology approach to elucidate how UBE3A loss impacts the early postnatal brain in a novel CRISPR/Cas9 engineered rat Angelman model of a complete Ube3a deletion. Strand-specific transcriptome analysis of offspring from maternally or paternally inherited Ube3a deletions revealed the expected parental expression patterns of Ube3a sense and antisense transcripts by postnatal day 2 (P2) in hypothalamus and day 9 (P9) in cortex, compared to wild-type littermates. The dependency of genome-wide effects on parent-of-origin, Ube3a genotype, and time (P2, P9) was investigated through transcriptome (RNA-seq of cortex and hypothalamus) and methylome (whole genome bisulfite sequencing of hypothalamus). Weighted gene co-expression and co-methylation network analyses identified co-regulated networks in maternally inherited Ube3a deletion offspring enriched in postnatal developmental processes including Wnt signaling, synaptic regulation, neuronal and glial functions, epigenetic regulation, ubiquitin, circadian entrainment, and splicing. Furthermore, we showed that loss of the paternal Ube3a antisense transcript resulted in both unique and overlapping dysregulated gene pathways with maternal loss, predominantly at the level of differential methylation. Together, these results provide a holistic examination of the molecular impacts of UBE3A loss in brain, supporting the existence of interactive epigenetic networks between maternal and paternal transcripts at the Ube3a locus.

Project description:Angelman syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by (epi)genetic lesions of maternal UBE3A. Research has focused largely on the role of UBE3A in neurons due to its imprinting in that cell type. Yet, evidence suggests there may be broader neurodevelopmental impacts of UBE3A dysregulation. Human cerebral organoids can investigate these understudied aspects of UBE3A as they recapitulate diverse cell types of the developing human brain. We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing on organoids to reveal the effects of UBE3A disruption on cell type-specific transcriptomic alterations and compositions. In the absence of UBE3A, progenitor proliferation and structures were disrupted while organoid composition shifted away from proliferative cell types. We observed impacts on non-neuronal cells including choroid plexus enrichment. Furthermore, EMX1+ cortical progenitors were negatively impacted, disrupting corticogenesis, and potentially delaying neuron maturation. This work reveals novel impacts of UBE3A on understudied cell types and related neurodevelopmental processes and elucidates potential new therapeutic targets.
