Transgenic mice with an R342X mutation in Phf6 have reduced protein levels and behavior deficits yet few prominent features of Börjeson-Forssman-Lehmann Syndrome (BFLS).

ABSTRACT: The PHF6 mutation, R342X, is a recurrent cause of Börjeson-Forssman-Lehmann Syndrome (BFLS), a neurodevelopmental disorder (MIM#301900). We generated transgenic mice with the identical substitution using CRISPR technology. We show that the R342X mutation causes a reduction in PHF6 protein levels, in both mice and humans, from nonsense mediated decay and nonsense-associated alternative splicing. MRI studies indicated that R342X mice had a reduced brain volume on a mixed genetic background but developed hydrocephaly and a high incidence of postnatal death on a C57BL/6 background. Cortical development proceeded normally while hippocampus and hypothalamus relative brain volumes were reduced. Behavior testing demonstrated deficits in associative learning, spatial memory and an anxiolytic phenotype, although other BFLS clinical features were not observed in the R342X mice. We performed RNA-seq analysis on the cerebral cortices of neonatal R342X mice with the purpose of finding a relationship between gene expression profiles, the behavioral phenotype and the cortical morphology.

Transcriptional reprogramming of neural stem cells by a PHF6/EphR signalling pathway [RNA-seq]

Project description:The plant homeodomain zinc finger protein,PHF6, is a transcriptional regulator, with its germline mutations causing the X-linked intellectual disability (XLID), Börjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome (BFLS).The precise mechanisms by whichPHF6regulates transcription and how its mutant forms lead to XLID remain poorly characterized. Here, we show genome-wide binding of PHF6 in the developing cortex, most of which overlap (CA)n-microsatellite repeats near genes involved in central nervous system development and neurogenesis. Mice harbouring BFLS patient mutations exhibit defects in neurogenesis and altered neural stem cell fate. Mechanistically, we find that PHF6 regulatesa panel of Ephrin receptors (EphRs)and that PHF6regulation ofEphRis impaired in BFLS mice and ina conditionalPhf6knock-out mouse model. We report that mice harboring BFLS mutations exhibit an increase in embryonic neural stem cell (eNSC) self-renewal, a significant attenuation of newly born neurons, and thatEphRknockdown phenocopies the PHF6 loss-of-function defects in altering eNSC fate. Our results suggest that alterations in eNSC fate specification via a PHF6/EphRtranscriptional pathway leads to impaired neurogenesis in BFLS

Phf6-null hematopoietic stem cells have enhanced self-renewal capacity and oncogenic potentials

Project description:Plant homeodomain finger gene 6 (PHF6) encodes a 365-amino-acid protein containing two plant homology domain fingers. Germline mutations of human PHF6 cause Börjeson–Forssman–Lehmann syndrome, a congenital neurodevelopmental disorder. Loss-of-function mutations of PHF6 are detected in patients with acute leukemia, mainly of T cell lineage and in a small proportion of myeloid lineage. The functions of PHF6 in physiological hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis remain incompletely defined. To address this question, we generated a conditional Phf6 knockout mouse model and investigated the impact of Phf6 loss on the hematopoietic system. We found that Phf6 knockout mice at 8-week age had reduced numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the peripheral blood compared to the wild-type littermates. There were decreased granulocyte-monocytic progenitors but increased Lin-c-Kit+Sca-1+ (LSK) cells in the marrow of young Phf6 knockout mice. Functional studies including competitive repopulation unit and serial transplantation assays revealed an enhanced reconstitution and self-renewal capacity in Phf6 knockout hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Aged Phf6 knockout mice had myelodysplasia-like presentations including decreased platelet counts, megakaryocyte dysplasia, and enlarged spleen related to extramedullary hematopoiesis. Moreover, we found that Phf6 loss lowered the threshold of NOTCH1-induced leukemic transformation at least partially through increased leukemia-initiating cells. Transcriptome analysis on the restrictive rare HSC subpopulations revealed upregulated cell cycling and oncogenic functions, with alteration of expression of key genes in those pathways. In summary, our studies demonstrate the in vivo crucial roles of Phf6 in physiological and malignant hematopoiesis.

PHF6 knockdown in rat cortical neurons

Project description:E18 embryonic rat cortical neurons cultured in vitro are infected with lentivirus expressing control or PHF6shRNA-2, and harvested 5 days after infection pLL3.7 lentivirus expressing control or PHF6shRNA-2 was generated in 293T cells and concentrated using ultracentrifuge. In vitro cultured cortical neurons were infected and RNA was harvested 5 days after infection. PHF6 knockdown was validated by QPCR before sample was processed for microarray analysis.

Hippocampal gene expression profiling in mice treated with stigmasterol

Project description:Anxiety and stress-related conditions represent a significant health burden in modern society. Unfortunately, most of the drugs currently used in the clinic modulate neurotransmission and are prone to side effects, limiting their long-term use. We used bioinformatics screening to find small molecules mimicking the transcriptional profile recently reported in hippocampi of importin α5 mutant anxiolytic mice, identifying the plant sterol β-sitosterol as a top candidate. Behavioral analyses confirmed anxiolytic properties of β-sitosterol, but did not show anxiolytic activity for stigmasterol, a related plant sterol. The present RNA-seq experiment characterizes the hippocampal transcriptome in mice 1 hr and 6 hrs after after intraperitoneal injection of 100 mg/kg stigmasterol or vehicle.

Loss of Phf6 prevents aging associated transcriptomic profile changes in LT-HSCs

Project description:Loss of Phf6 prevents the functional decline and immunophenotypic changes associated with age-related, long-term repopulating hematopoietic stem cell (LT-HSC) exhaustion. To identify the underlying molecular mechanisms that account for these differences, we performed RNA-seq profiling of LT-HSCs isolated from the bone marrow of Phf6 wild-type and knock-out, young (16-week-old) and aged (24-month-old) C57BL/6 mice. Our analysis revealed that LT-HSCs isolated from 24-month-old, Phf6 knockout mice retained the molecular signatures associated with young LT-HSCs whereas LT-HSCs isolated from aged, Phf6 wild-type mice acquired signatures consistent with HSC exhaustion. Mechanistically, these data revealed important roles for key metabolic pathways including glutathione metabolism and sterol biosynthesis, as well as cell-cell interaction and signaling pathways such as the interferon and TGF-beta responses.

PHF6 and JAK3 mutations cooperate to drive T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia progression

Project description:Purpose: For RNA-Seq analysis of isogenic Phf6 WT and KO mouse T-ALL cells Methods: Phf6 WT and KO mouse T-ALL cells were analyzed by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays Results: Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we identified 2377 genes up-regulated and 3751 genes down-regulated （P < 0.05） in the BM cells from Phf6 WT and KO mice. Altered expression of 16 genes was confirmed with qRT–PCR, demonstrating the high degree of sensitivity of the RNA-seq method. Hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed genes may contribute to analyze PHF6 function. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of T-ALL cell transcriptomes with PHF6 deficiency and JAK3 mutation. Our results suggested that Phf6 loss promoted JAK3M511I induced T-ALL progression by accelerating cell cycle and impairing T cell differentiation.
