Transcriptome analysis of neural progenitor cells derived from Lowe Syndrome induced pluripotent stem cells

ABSTRACT: Lowe Syndrome (LS) is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the X-linked gene OCRL that codes for a 901 amino acid protein, inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase, which plays a key role in endosome recycling, clathrin coated pit formation and actin polymerization. It is characterized by congenital cataracts, intellectual and developmental disability, and renal proximal tubular dysfunction. Patients are also at high risk for developing glaucoma and seizures. We recently developed induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from three patients with LS who have hypomorphic variants affected the 3’ end of the gene, and their neurotypical brothers to serve as controls. In this study, we used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to obtain a transcriptome profile in neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Thirty-six differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were found in patient/control comparisons that were shared across all three sets of sibling pairs. Interestingly, two-thirds of these genes have previously been found to be involved in neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. Furthermore, 14 of the DEGs are strong candidate genes for a variety of eye disorders, including glaucoma development. The most notable example is EFEMP1, which was significantly increased in LS NPCs. These DEGs found in NPCs could reflect similar alterations occurring in eye tissues or their progenitor cells from LS. Overall, the RNA-seq findings present several molecular pathways that could explain the underlying basis for the neurodevelopmental and eye problems seen in boys with LS.

The Role of KDM2A and H3K36me2 Demethylation in Modulating MAPK Signaling during Neurodevelopment [RNA-seq]

Project description:To explore how KDM2A regulates downstream genes and impacts NPC function, we generated KDM2A knockdown H9 ESC lines using shRNA lentivirus. We designed five siRNAs and selected the two most effective ones for shRNA creation, which were then packaged into shRNA lentivirus (sh1, sh4). Subsequently, we induced these cells into NPCs and cerebral organoids. Through RNA-seq and DEG analysis, we observed that DEGs in NPCs were associated with the MAPK signaling pathway, a finding also present in cerebral organoids. We conducted a disease enrichment analysis on the obtained gene lists, revealing enrichment in neurodevelopmental disorders such as intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This finding indirectly suggests that KDM2A plays a role in early neurodevelopmental processes.

Mutations in the postsynaptic signaling hub TNIK disrupts neuronal progenitor cells and immature neuronal function in human models of neurodevelopmental disease

Project description:Synaptic proteins, in particular those connected in large protein interaction networks at the postsynaptic site of glutamatergic neurons have been associated to a number of neurodevelopmental disorders. While their contribution to disease has been well documented in mature rodent synapses, their role in early neuronal development and in non-neuronal cell types is not known. Additionally, it is unclear if they are associated in the same protein interaction networks (PINs) in early neuronal development, particularly in human models of neurodevelopmental disease. Here we use the postsynaptic density (PSD) protein TNIK as a model of a classical PSD signaling hub associated to neurodevelopmental disease. Using hiPSC models of TNIK disfunction and disease, we show that PSD PINs are dysregulated by TNIK in immature neurons, synapses and neuronal progenitor cells (NPCs). TNIK impairs NPCs and human immature synapses using different signaling mechanisms and associating to different sets of “PSD proteins”.

Defective metabolic programming impairs early neuronal morphogenesis in neural cultures and an organoid model of Leigh syndrome

Project description:Leigh syndrome (LS) is a severe manifestation of mitochondrial disease in children and is currently incurable. The lack of effective models hampers our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the neuronal pathology of LS. Using patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells and CRISPR/Cas9 engineering, we developed a human model of LS due to mutations in the complex IV assembly gene SURF1. Single-cell RNA-sequencing and multi-omics analysis revealed compromised neuronal morphogenesis in mutant neural cultures and brain organoids. The defects emerged at the level of neural progenitor cells (NPCs), which retained a glycolytic proliferative state that failed to instruct neuronal morphogenesis. LS NPCs carrying mutations in the complex I gene NDUFS4 recapitulated morphogenesis defects. Interventions supporting the metabolic programming of NPCs restored neuronal morphogenesis, including SURF1 gene augmentation and PGC1A induction via bezafibrate treatment. Our findings provide mechanistic insights and suggest interventional strategies for a rare mitochondrial disease with major unmet medical needs.

The imbalance of excitatory/inhibitory neuron differentiation in neurodevelopmental disorders with an NR2F1 point mutation (The Third Replicate)

Project description:Recent studies have revealed an essential role for embryonic cortical development in the pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the genetic basis and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we generate mutant human embryonic stem cell lines (Mut hESCs) carrying an NR2F1-R112K mutation that has been identified in a patient with ASD features, and investigate their neurodevelopmental alterations. Mut hESCs overproduce ventral telencephalic neuron progenitors (ventral NPCs) and inhibitory neurons, and underproduce dorsal NPCs and excitatory neurons. These alterations can be mainly attributed to the aberrantly activated Hedgehog signaling pathway. Moreover, the corresponding Nr2f1 point mutant mice display a similar excitatory/inhibitory neuron imbalance and abnormal behaviors. Antagonizing the increased inhibitory synaptic transmission partially alleviates their behavioral deficits. Together, our results suggest that the NR2F1-dependent imbalance of excitatory/inhibitory neuron differentiation caused by the activated Hedgehog pathway is one precursor of neurodevelopmental disorders and may enlighten the therapeutic approaches.

Personalized genome sequencing coupled with iPSC technology identifies GTDC1 as a gene involved in Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Project description:The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism spectrum disorders have been studied intensively for decades. The ability to generate patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) now offers a novel strategy for modeling human disease. Recent studies have reported the derivation of iPSCs from patients with neurological disorders. The key challenge remains the demonstration of disease-related phenotypes and the ability to model the disease. Here we report a case study with signs of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) harbouring chromosomal rearrangements that were sequenced using long-insert DNA paired-end tag (DNA-PET) sequencing approach. We identified the disruption of a specific gene, GTDC1. By deriving iPSCs from this patient and differentiating them into neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and neurons we dissected the disease process at the cellular level and observed defects in both NPCs and neuronal cells. We also showed that disruption of GTDC1 expression in wild type human NPCs and neurons showed similar phenotype as patient’s iPSCs. Finally, we utilized a zebrafish model to demonstrate a role for GTDC in development of the central nervous system. Our findings highlight the importance of combining sequencing technolgies with the iPSC technology for NDDs modelling that could be applied for personalized medicine.

Peroxidasin is essential for eye development

Project description:Mutations in Peroxidasin (PXDN) cause severe inherited eye disorders in humans, such as congenital cataract, corneal opacity, and developmental glaucoma. The role of peroxidasin during eye development is poorly understood. Here we describe the first Pxdn mouse mutant which was induced by ENU (N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea) and led to a recessive phenotype. Sequence analysis of cDNA revealed a T3816A mutation resulting in a premature stop codon (Cys1272X) in the peroxidase domain. This mutation causes severe anterior segment dysgenesis and microphthalmia resembling the manifestations in patients with PXDN mutations. The proliferation and differentiation of the lens is disrupted in association with aberrant expression of transcription factor genes (Pax6 and Foxe3) in mutant eyes. Additionally, Pxdn is involved in the consolidation of the basement membrane and lens epithelium adhesion in the ocular lens. Lens material including γ-crystallin is extruded into the anterior and posterior chamber due to local loss of structural integrity of the lens capsule as a secondary damage to the anterior segment development leading to congenital ocular inflammation. Moreover, Pxdn mutants exhibited an early-onset glaucoma and progressive retinal dysgenesis. Transcriptome profiling revealed that peroxidasin affects the transcription of developmental and eye diseases-related genes at early eye development. These findings suggest that peroxidasin is necessary for cell proliferation and differentiation and for basement membrane consolidation during eye development. Our studies provide pathogenic mechanisms of PXDN mutation-induced congenital eye diseases.

Social isolation-induced transcriptomic changes in mouse hippocampus impact the synapse and show convergence with human genetic risk for neurodevelopmental phenotypes

Project description:Early life stress (ELS) can impact brain development and is a risk factor for neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia. Post-weaning social isolation (SI) is used to model ELS in animals, using isolation stress to disrupt a normal developmental trajectory. We aimed to investigate how SI affects the expression of genes in mouse hippocampus and to investigate how these changes related to the genetic basis of neurodevelopmental phenotypes. BL/6J mice were exposed to post-weaning SI (PD21-25) or treated as group-housed controls (n = 7-8 per group). RNA sequencing was performed on tissue samples from the hippocampus of adult male and female mice. Four hundred and 1,215 differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) at a false discovery rate of < 0.05 were detected between SI and control samples for males and females respectively. DEGS for both males and females were significantly overrepresented in gene ontologies related to synaptic structure and function, especially the post-synapse. DEGs were enriched for common variant (SNP) heritability in humans that contributes to risk of neuropsychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder) and to cognitive function. DEGs were also enriched for genes harbouring rare de novo variants that contribute to autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disorders. Finally, cell type analysis revealed populations of hippocampal astrocytes that were enriched for DEGs, indicating effects in these cell types as well as neurons. Overall, these data suggest a convergence between genes dysregulated by the SI stressor in the mouse and genes associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and cognitive phenotypes in humans.
