Rescue of Down syndrome related deficits by Brwd1 copy number restoration

ABSTRACT: Trisomy 21 [Down syndrome/DS] is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability worldwide. Despite much progress in the genetic characterization of DS, the genes encoded from chromosome 21 (HSA21) that directly contribute to intellectual disability remain incompletely understood. Here, we found that a largely uncharacterized chromatin effector protein, BRWD1, is triplicated in DS neurons and brain of trisomic mice. We demonstrated that selective copy number restoration of Brwd1 in DS animals rescues transcriptional, synaptic and cognitive deficits. We showed that Brwd1 binds to the neuronal BAF chromatin remodeling complex, and that such interactions promote BAF’s genomic mistargeting in DS-like brain. Brwd1 renormalization in trisomic animals rescues these aberrant chromatin events. These findings thus establish BRWD1 as a critical epigenomic mediator of DS related phenotypes.

Rescue of Down syndrome related deficits by Brwd1 copy number restoration in Ts65Dn mice

Project description:With an astounding incidence of ~1 in 800 births, Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal condition linked to intellectual disability worldwide. While the genetic basis of DS has been identified as a triplication of chromosome 21 (HSA21), the genes encoded from HSA21 that directly contribute to cognitive deficits remain incompletely understood. Here, we found that the HSA21-encoded chromatin effector, BRWD1, was upregulated in Down syndrome neurons and brain of trisomic mice. We showed that selective copy number restoration of Brwd1 in trisomic animals rescued deficits in hippocampal LTP, cognition and gene expression. We demonstrated that Brwd1 tightly binds the BAF chromatin remodeling complex, and that increased Brwd1 expression promotes BAF genomic mistargeting. Importantly, Brwd1 renormalization rescued aberrant BAF localization, along with associated changes in chromatin accessibility and gene expression. These findings establish BRWD1 as a key epigenomic mediator of normal neurodevelopment and an important contributor to DS-related phenotypes.

Correction of cognitive deficits in mouse models of Down syndrome by pharmacological inhibitor of DYRK1A

Project description:Down Syndrome (DS) results from the trisomy of human chromosome 21 (HSA21). It is still the most frequent intellectual disability, affecting 1 newborn per 700 births. Among candidate genes explaining intellectual disabilities seen in DS patients, the dual specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation regulated kinase 1A, DYRK1A, is located in the DS critical region of chromosome 21. DYRK1A has become a major screening target for the development of selective and potent pharmacological inhibitors. We here investigated the effects of a relatively selective DYRK1A inhibitor, Leucettine 41 (hereafter L41) in three different trisomic mouse models with increasing genetic complexity, Tg(Dyrk1a), Ts65Dn and Dp1Yey. Leucettines are derived from the marine sponge alkaloid Leucettamine B.

Pro-cognitive treatments restore hippocampal proteomic and kinome alterations in Ts65Dn mice

Project description:Down syndrome is the main genetic cause of intellectual disability and is due to triplication of human chromosome 21 (HSA21). Green tea extracts containing epigallocatechin-3-gallate (green tea) improve cognition both in mouse models and individuals with Down syndrome. We here analyzed the proteome and phosphoproteome alterations in a Down syndrome mouse model, the partial trisomic Ts65Dn mice, and the effect produced by the green tea extract and environmental enrichment (EE). Trisomic hippocampi presented a dysregulated proteome, especially when looking at the phosphorylation level in cognitive-related categories (synaptic proteins, neuronal projection, neuron development, microtubule), and GTPases/kinase activity and chromatin related categories. Green tea, EE, and their phospholipids in the plasma membrane and regulates signal transduction pathways, transcription factors, DNA methylation, mitochondrial function and phosphorylation, and autophagy to exert many of its beneficial biological actions Of interest for DS, it inhibits the activity of the Dual Specificity Tyrosine-Phosphorylation-Regulated Kinase 1A (DYRK1A), a DS candidate gene located in the 21q22.2 human chromosome region4,5. Previous work from our group showed that EGCG partially rescues the effects of overexpression of a DS candidate gene, DYRK1A, on the proteome and phosphoproteome of the hippocampus of TgDyrk1A mice6. However, the extent to which these mechanisms apply to a trisomy scenario is unknown. To get insight in these mechanisms we analyzed changes in protein abundances and phosphorylation in Ts65Dn mice, and their disomic counterparts in baseline conditions and upon three treatments known to improve cognition in Ts65Dn: i) green tea extract containing EGCG, ii) environmental enrichment (EE), and iii) their combination.

Chr21 protein-protein interactions: enrichment in proteins involved in intellectual disability, autism and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease

Project description:Down syndrome (DS) is caused by human chromosome 21 (HSA21) trisomy. It is characterized by a poorly understood intellectual disability (ID). We studied two mouse models of DS, one with an extra copy of the Dyrk1A gene (189N3) and the other with an extra copy of the mouse Chr16 syntenic region (Dp(16)1Yey). RNA-seq analysis of the transcripts deregulated in the embryonic hippocampus revealed an enrichment in genes associated with chromatin for the 189N3 model and synapses for the Dp(16)1Yey model

Histone Reader BRWD1 Targets and Restricts Recombination to the Igk Locus

Project description:B lymphopoiesis requires that immunoglobulin genes be accessible to RAG1-RAG2 recombinase. However, the RAG proteins bind widely to open chromatin, which suggests that additional mechanisms must restrict RAG-mediated DNA cleavage. Here we show that developmental downregulation of interleukin 7 (IL-7)-receptor signaling in small pre-B cells induced expression of the bromodomain-family member BRWD1, which was recruited to a specific epigenetic landscape at Igk dictated by pre–BCR-dependent Erk activation. BRWD1 enhanced RAG recruitment, increased gene accessibility and positioned nucleosomes 5? to each J? recombination signal sequence. BRWD1 thus targets recombination to Igk and places recombination within the context of signaling cascades that control B cell development. Our findings represent a paradigm in which,at any particular antigen-receptor locus, specialized mechanisms enforce lineage- and stage-specific recombination. ChIP-seq for 1 transcription factor and 2 histone modifications in flow purified mouse small pre-B cells. ATAC-seq and RNA-seq in WT and Brwd-Mut mouse flow purified small pre-B cells.

A transcriptome analysis study with the focus on the role of long non-coding RNAs in Down syndrome subjects

Project description:Down syndrome (DS) results from trisomy of chromosome 21 and is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability (ID). A wide range of comorbidities have been described in DS, such as ID, muscle weakness, hypotonia, congenital heart disease and autoimmune diseases. The pathogenetic mechanisms that are responsible for developing these comorbidities are still far from being understood. It was hypothesized that dosage imbalance on chromosome 21 as a whole disrupts diverse developmental pathways whereas another hypothesis suggests that dosage increase for specific genes on chromosome 21 contributes directly to different aspects of the phenotype in DS. The present study explored mRNAs and lncRNAs expression by using the next generation sequencing analysis (NGS) and the quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assay for the confirmation of the NGS results, followed by functional analysis of the results. The enrichment analysis of the results obtained revealed various pathways in which differentially expressed genes are involved. Developmental disorders play a crucial role in the phenotype of people with Down syndrome with particular attention to intellectual developmental disorders.

BRWD1 orchestrates epigenetic landscape of late B lymphopoiesis

Project description:Transcription factor (TF) networks determine cell fate in hematopoiesis. However, how TFs cooperate with other regulatory mechanisms to instruct transcription remains poorly understood. We demonstrate in small pre-B cells, that the lineage restricted epigenetic reader BRWD1 closes early development enhancers and opens the enhancers of late B lymphopoiesis to TF binding. BRWD1 differentially regulated over 7000 genes including repressing proliferative and inducing differentiation programs. However, BRWD1 did not regulate expression of transcription factors required for B lymphopoiesis. Hypogammaglobulinemia patients with BRWD1 mutations had B cell transcriptional profiles and enhancer landscapes similar to those observed in Brwd1-/- mice. These data indicate that in both mice and humans, BRWD1 is a master orchestrator of enhancer accessibility that cooperates with TF networks to drive late B cell development.

Proteome analysis in the TcMAC21 mouse model of Down syndrome

Project description:Down syndrome (DS) results from trisomy of human chromosome 21 (HSA21), and DS research has been greatly advanced by the use of mouse models. We previously generated a humanized mouse model of DS, TcMAC21, which carries the long arm of HSA21. These mice exhibit learning and memory deficits, and may reproduce neurodevelopmental alterations observed in humans with DS. Here we performed histologic studies of the TcMAC21 forebrain from embryonic to adult stages. The TcMAC21 neocortex showed reduced proliferation of neural progenitors and delayed neurogenesis. These abnormalities were associated with a smaller number of projection neurons and interneurons. Further, (phospho-)proteomic analysis of adult TcMAC21 cortex revealed alterations in the phosphorylation levels of a series of synaptic proteins. The TcMAC21 mouse model shows similar brain development abnormalities as DS, and will be a valuable mode to investigate prenatal and postnatal causes of intellectual disability in humans with DS.

BRWD1 orchestrates chromatin topology by converting static to dynamic cohesin complexes (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Lymphocyte development consists of sequential and mutually exclusive cell states of proliferative selection and antigen receptor gene recombination. Transitions between each state require large, coordinated changes in epigenetic landscapes and transcriptional programs. How this occurs remains unclear. Herein, we demonstrate that in small pre-B cells, the lineage and stage-specific epigenetic reader BRWD1 reorders three-dimensional chromatin topology to affect transition between proliferative and gene recombination molecular programs. BRWD1 regulated the switch between poised and active enhancers interacting with promoters and coordinated this with Igk locus contraction. BRWD1 did so by converting chromatin-bound static cohesin to dynamic complexes competent to mediate long-range looping. Remarkably, ATP depletion recapitulated cohesin distributions observed in Brwd1-/- cells. Therefore, in small pre-B cells, cohesin conversion appears to be the main energetic mechanism dictating where dynamic looping occurs in the genome. Our findings provide a new mechanism of cohesin regulation and reveal how cohesin function can be regulated by lineage contextual mechanisms to facilitate specific cell fate transitions.
