Induced pluripotent stem cells from a spinal muscular atrophy patient

ABSTRACT: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is one of the most common inherited forms of neurological disease leading to infant mortality. Patients exhibit selective loss of lower motor neurons resulting in muscle weakness, paralysis, and often death. Although patient fibroblasts have been used extensively to study SMA, motor neurons have a unique anatomy and physiology which may underlie their vulnerability to the disease process. Here we report the generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from skin fibroblast samples taken from a child with SMA. These cells expanded robustly in culture, maintained the disease genotype, and generated motor neurons that showed selective deficits compared to those derived from the child’s unaffected mother. This is the first study to show human iPS cells can be used to model the specific pathology seen in a genetically inherited disease. As such, it represents a promising resource to study disease mechanisms, screen novel drug compounds, and develop new therapies.

Selective Death in Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Genome-Wide RNA-Seq Using Purified Patient-Derived Motor Neurons

Project description:Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is well-known to be caused by mutations in the gene Survival of Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1). Because this gene is ubiquitously expressed, it remains poorly understood why motor neurons (MNs) are one of the most affected cell types. To begin to address this question, we carried out RNA-sequencing studies using fixed, antibody-labeled and purified MNs produced from control and SMA patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). We found SMA-specific changes in MNs, including hyper-activation of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway and enhanced apoptosis. Functional studies demonstrated that inhibition of ER stress improves overall MN health and survival in vitro even in MNs with low SMN levels. In SMA mice, we show that systemic delivery of an ER stress inhibitor that crosses the blood-brain-barrier led to preservation of MNs in the spinal cord and prolonged survival of these mice. Therefore, our study implies that selective activation of ER stress underlies MN death in SMA. Moreover, the approach we have taken would be broadly applicable to studying disease-prone human cells in heterogeneous cultures. total RNA collected from ES cell and patient ES cell derived spinal motor neurons

Gene expression profiling of LMC and MMC motor neurons in SMA mice

Project description:Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disease which exhibits selective motor neuron death caused by a ubiquitous deficiency of the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. It remains unclear how the ubiquitous reduction of SMN lead to death in selective motor neuron pools. Medial motor neuron columns (MMC) are vulnerable, whereas lateral motor columns (LMC) are resistant to motor neuron death in SMA. Here we performed microarray and pathway analysis comparing cholera toxin subunit B (CTb) labeled vulnerable MMC and resistant LMC of pre-symptomatic SMA with corresponding motor neuron columns of control mice to identify pathways involved in selective motor neuron death in SMA. WT is FVB. SMN is Delta7 (SMNΔ7;SMN2;Smn-) on a FVB background.

Global gene expression profiles of iPSC from SMA patient, unaffected father and iPS 19.9 compared to transcriptomic data obtained by corresponding fibroblasts

Project description:Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive motor neuron disease and is the second most common genetic disorder leading to death in childhood. Motoneurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) obtained by reprogramming SMA patient and his healthy father fibroblasts, and genetically corrected SMA-iPSC obtained converting SMN2 into SMN1 with target gene correction (TGC), were used to study gene expression and splicing events linked to pathogenetic mechanisms. Microarray technology was used to assess global gene expression profiles of iPSC from SMA patient, unaffected father and iPS 19.9 (Prof. J. Thomson's lab) compared to transcriptomic data obtained by corresponding fibroblasts. The microarray data derived from three different individuals: SMA patient, healthy father and control iPS cells (19.9). We analyzed iPSC from SMA patient (n=2), iPS- from healthy father (n=1) and iPS-19.9 from Prof. Thomson's lab (n=3). The expression profile was compared to SMA patient's fibroblasts (n=2) and healthy father's fibroblasts (n=1)

Multi-omic analysis identifies APC/C-mediated degradation of SMN in neurons

Project description:Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) due to loss-of-function of SMN protein is associated with severe loss of voluntary muscle control and is a leading inherited cause of infant mortality. SMA treatments will benefit from in-depth knowledge of functional pathways disrupted in disease and identification of SMN modulators. Here, we present a comprehensive temporal profile of proteogenomic expression patterns in developing mouse spinal cords (Δ7 model), alongside endpoint analyses of human spinal and ventral root tissues in SMA disease, identifying targets for assessing disease progression and treatment response. SMA disease results in development-associated deficiencies in transcription, translation initiation, intracellular transport, and protein folding, and diminished RNA translation efficiency for proteins important in axon development/myelination. The broad impact of SMN deficiency prompted the search for co-regulated proteins that modulate SMN protein levels, resulting in identification of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) E3 ubiquitin ligase as a potential modulator of SMN protein stability. Functional studies of APC/C showed that both SMN and HuD are specific interactors of the APC/C in neurons and that selective APC/C inhibition significantly limited SMN and HuD degradation. Finally, we demonstrate that APC/C inhibition rescues motor axon defects characteristic of SMA in a zebrafish model of SMA disease.

Proteomics of motor neuron in ASL model sorted by FACS

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common form of motor neuron disease, is characterized by progressive muscle weakness and paralysis caused by degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. A major breakthrough in understanding the genetics of ALS was the discovery of a GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) within the non-coding region of chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72) as the most common mutation in both familial and sporadic forms of ALS [25, 80]. We report that C9orf72 loss of function and poly(GP) expression act together to induce motor neuron degeneration and paralysis. These synergistic properties of C9orf72 mutation affect autophagy, thus resulting in poly(GP) and p62 aggregation. In this context, poly(GP) accumulation occurs in motor neurons preferentially, along with swollen mitochondria, a typical signature of mitophagy defects. In motor neurons, accumulated abnormal mitochondria engage caspase cascade, ultimately giving rise to apoptotic cell death of motor neurons that results in paralysis

The Bap1-SMN axis in Dpp4+ skeletal muscle mesenchymal cells regulates survival of motor neurons

Project description:Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the survival of motor neuron (SMN) gene. Although the primary manifestation of SMA is degeneration of motor neurons in a dying-back manner, deficient SMN intrinsic to motor neurons does not cause severe motor neuron loss, as is the case in SMA mouse models. Thus, the involvement of non-neuronal cells in the pathogenesis of SMA has been suggested. Here, we report that a novel subset of fibro-adipogenic progenitors expressing Dpp4 (Dpp4+ FAPs) is required for the survival of motor neurons, in which BRCA1-associating protein 1 (Bap1) is crucial for the stabilization of SMN by preventing its ubiquitination-dependent degradation. Inactivation of Bap1 in FAPs decreased SMN levels and accompanied degeneration of the neuromuscular junction, leading to dying-back loss of motor neurons and muscle atrophy, reminiscent of SMA pathogenesis. Overexpression of ubiquitination-resistant SMN variant, SMNK186R, in Bap1-null FAPs completely prevented neuromuscular degenerations. In addition, transplantation of Dpp4+ FAPs, but not Dpp4- FAPs, completely rescued neuromuscular defects in the mutant mice. Our data revealed that Bap1-mediated stabilization of SMN in Dpp4+ FAPs is crucial for the survival of motor neurons and provided a new therapeutic approach to treat SMA.

Transcriptome profiling of severe spinal muscular atrophy mouse embryonic stem cell-derived motor neurons

Project description:Proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an early onset, autosomal recessive motor neuron disease caused by loss of or mutation in SMN1 (survival motor neuron 1). Despite understanding the genetic basis underlying this disease, it is still not known why motor neurons (MNs) are selectively affected by the loss of the ubiquitously expressed SMN protein. Using a mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) model for severe SMA, the RNA transcript profiles (transcriptomes) between control and severe SMA (SMN2+/+;mSmn-/-) mESC-derived MNs were compared in this study using massively parallel RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). The MN differentiation efficiencies between control and severe SMA mESCs were similar. RNA-Seq analysis identified 3094 upregulated and 6964 downregulated transcripts in SMA mESC-derived MNs when compared against control cells. Pathway and network analysis of the differentially expressed RNA transcripts showed that pluripotency and cell proliferation transcripts were significantly increased in SMA MNs while transcripts related to neuronal development and activity were reduced. The differential expression of selected transcripts such as Crabp1, Crabp2 and Nkx2.2 was validated in a second mESC model for SMA as well as in the spinal cords of low copy SMN2 severe SMA mice. Furthermore, the levels of these selected transcripts were restored in high copy SMN2 rescue mouse spinal cords when compared against low copy SMN2 severe SMA mice. These findings suggest that SMN deficiency affects processes critical for normal development and maintenance of MNs. RNA profiles were generated from FACS-purified control and SMA mESC-derived motor neurons (n=3/genotype) by deep sequencing using Illumina HighSeq 2500

Transcription profiling of skeletal muscle from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis sod1(G86R) axotomized mice and control mice to monitor denervation-dependent gene expression in an Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) mouse model

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal adult-onset neuromuscular disorder characterized by the selective degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons, progressive muscle wasting and paralysis. To define the full set of alterations in gene expression in skeletal muscle during the course of the disease, we performed high-density oligonucleotide microarray analysis of gene expression in hind limb skeletal muscles of sod1(G86R) mice, one of the existing transgenic models of ALS. To monitor denervation-dependent gene expression, we determined the effects of short-term acute denervation on the muscle transcriptome after sciatic nerve axotomy.
