Transcriptome Analysis of Human Induced Excitatory Neurons Supports a Strong Effect of Clozapine on Cholesterol Biosynthesis

ABSTRACT: Antipsychotics are known to modulate dopamine and other neurotransmitters which is often thought to be the mechanism underlying their therapeutic effects. Nevertheless, other less studied consequences of antipsychotics on neuronal function may contribute to their efficacy. Revealing the complete picture behind their action is of paramount importance for precision medicine and accurate drug selection. Progress in cell engineering allows the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and their differentiation to a variety of neuronal types, providing new tools to study antipsychotics. Here we use excitatory cortical neurons derived from iPSCs to explore their response to therapeutic levels of Clozapine as measured by their transcriptomic output, a proxy for neuronal homeostasis. To our surprise, but in agreement with the results of many investigators studying glial-like cells, Clozapine had a very strong effect on cholesterol metabolism. More than a quarter (12) of all annotated cholesterol genes (46) in the genome were significantly changed at FDR<0.1, all upregulated. This is a 35-fold enrichment with an adjusted p = 8 x10-11. Notably no other functional category showed evidence of enrichment. Cholesterol is a major component of the neuronal membrane and myelin but it does not cross the blood brain barrier, it is produced locally mostly by glia but also by neurons. By singling out increased expression of cholesterol metabolism genes as the main response of cortical excitatory neurons to antipsychotics, our work supports the hypothesis that cholesterol metabolism may be a contributing mechanism to the beneficial effects of Clozapine and possibly other antipsychotics.

Individual Human Cortical Progenitors Can Produce Excitatory and Inhibitory Neurons

Project description:The cerebral cortex is a cellularly-complex structure comprised of a rich diversity of neuronal and glial cell types. Cortical neurons can be broadly categorized into two classes—glutamatergic excitatory neurons and GABAergic inhibitory interneurons. Previous developmental studies in rodents have led to the prevailing model that while excitatory neurons are born from progenitors located in the cortex, cortical interneurons are born from a separate population of progenitors located outside of the developing cortex in the ganglionic eminences1-5. However, the developmental potential of human cortical progenitors has not been thoroughly explored. Here we show that in addition to excitatory neurons and glia, human cortical progenitors are also capable of producing GABAergic neurons with the transcriptional characteristics and morphologies of cortical interneurons. By developing a cellular barcoding tool called “ScRNAseq-compatible Tracer for Identifying Clonal Relationships” (STICR), we were able to perform clonal lineage tracing of 1912 primary human cortical progenitors from six specimens and capture both the transcriptional identities and clonal relationships of their resulting progeny. A subpopulation of cortically-born GABAergic neurons were transcriptionally similar to cortical interneurons born from the caudal ganglionic eminence and these cells were frequently related to excitatory neurons and glia. Thus, our results demonstrate that individual human cortical progenitors can generate both excitatory neurons and cortical interneurons, providing a new framework for understanding the origins of neuronal diversity in the human cortex.

Transcription profiling of mouse KCl depolarization-regulated genes in cortical neurons

Project description:we used DNA microarray analysis to identify genes that are induced by neuronal activity in excitatory neurons at the time when inhibitory synapses are forming and maturing on them. Experiment Overall Design: We cultured cortical neurons for 7 DIV until the process of inhibitory synapse development was underway, and then depolarized the neurons with 50 mM of KCl to activate L-type voltage-sensitive calcium channels (L-VSCCs) for 0, 1 or 6 hours, the cells were lysed, mRNA isolated and hybridized to Affymetrix arrays. Data were collected from 3 independent experiments.

Transcription profiling of mouse wild type vs Dnmt1 hypomethylated forebrain

Project description:DNA methylation is a major epigenetic factor regulating genome reprogramming, cell differentiation, developmental gene expression. To understand the role DNA methylation in CNS neurons, we generated conditional Dnmt1 mutant mice that possess ~90% hypomethylated cortical and hippocampal cells in the dorsal forebrain from E13.5 on. The mutant mice were viable with a normal lifespan, but displayed severe neuronal cell death between E14.5 to 3-weeks postnatally. Accompanied with the striking cortical and hippocampal degeneration, adult mutant mice exhibited neurobehavioral defects in learning and memory in adulthood. Unexpectedly, a fraction of Dnmt1-/- cortical neurons survived through postnatal development, so that the residual cortex in mutant mice contained 20-30% of hypomethylated neurons throughout the life. Hypomethylated excitatory neurons exhibited multiple defects in postnatal maturation including abnormal dendritic arborization and impaired neuronal excitability. The mutant phenotypes are coupled with deregulation of those genes involved in neuronal layer-specification, cell death, and the function of ion channels. Our results suggest that DNA methylation, through its role in modulating neuronal gene expression, plays multiple roles in regulating cell survival, neuronal migration and maturation in the CNS. Experiment Overall Design: We compared gene expression patterns in Wildtype and DNA methylation deficient (Emx1-cre; Dnmt1 mutant) mouse dorsal cortex. We performed 3 replicates using different each individual mouse strain. The Sample GSM350992 table is the average log ratio for the 3 replicatesArrays were performed in triplicate.

Gene expression profile of the V/SVZ and the CP at E16

Project description:Cell differentiation and proliferation are mutually exclusive. Although differentiating neurons are recognized as post-mitotic non-dividing cells, some Rb- and Rb family (Rb, p107, and p130)-deficient differentiating neurons proliferate and form tumor. Here, we found that the acute inactivation of all Rb family in differentiating cortical excitatory neurons caused radial migration defect and S-phase progression but not cell division, whereas that in cortical progenitors caused the cell division of the differentiating neurons generated from Rb â??/â??; p107 â??/â??; p130 â??/â?? (Rb-TKO) progenitors. Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis revealed that proximal promoters tended to become methylated during differentiation in vivo. DNA demethylation by DNA methyltransferase inhibitor allowed the acutely inactivated Rb-TKO differentiating neurons to undergo G2/M-phase progression. Our finding illustrate that cortical excitatory neurons epigenetically lose their proliferative potency after neurogenesis. 4 samples of the V/SVZ (ventricular/subventricular zone) tissue and 4 samples of the CP (cortical plate) tissue

Gene expresssion in human iPSC-derived neurons from normal and SPG3A donors

Project description:We performed RNA-seq experiments on two samples (cortical neurons and spinal motor neurons) from normal induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and another two samples (cortical neurons and spinal motor neurons) derived from SPG3A (an early onset form of hereditary spastic paraplegia) iPSCs. This initial experiment is to test the system and set up a baseline for future studies. Cortical projection neurons and spinal motor neurons were differentiated from same batch of iPSCs in parallel to minimize variations. The differentiation of cortical neurons and spinal motor neurons are based on protocols well-established in our group.

Gene expression analysis of neurons differentiated from iPS cells generated from the fibroblasts of monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia

Project description:Schizophrenia is heterogenious and polygenic disorder, and thus obtaining geneticly close control samples are valuable to increase the effect size. We obtained skin biopsies from five identical twin pairs discordant for schizophrenia and reprogrammed the cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). They are all Finnish/Caucasians, and the study was approved by ethical commitee in Finland. As schizophrenia affects mostly cognitive functions, we differentiated iPSCs to cortical neurons, moslty excitatory glutamatergic neurons and performed RNA sequencing for transcriptomic changes in neurons from patients with schizophrenia.

Gene expression profile of cerebral cortical cells after Rb family inactivation in progenitors and neurons

Project description:Cell cycle deregulation leads to abnormal proliferation and cell death in a context-specific manner. Cell cycle progression driven via Rb pathway forces neurons to undergo S-phase, resulting in cell death associated with the progression of neuronal degeneration. Nevertheless, some Rb- and Rb family (Rb, p107, and p130)-deficient differentiating neurons can proliferate and form tumors. Here, we found that differentiating cerebral cortical excitatory neurons underwent S-phase progression but not cell division after acute Rb family inactivation in differentiating neurons. However, the differentiating neurons underwent cell division and form tumors when Rb family members were inactivated in cortical progenitors. Differentiating neurons generated from Rb -/-; p107 -/-; p130 -/- (Rb-TKO) progenitors, but not acutely inactivated Rb-TKO differentiating neurons, activated DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway without increasing the tri-methylation of histone H4 at lysine 20 (H4K20M3), which is known to protect from DNA damage. The activation of DSB repair pathway was essential for the cell division of Rb-TKO differentiating neurons. These results suggest that newly-born cortical neurons from progenitors epigenetically become protected from DNA damage and cell division in a Rb family-dependent manner. 3 samples of pCAG-control, pCAG-RbTKO, pMAP2-control, and pMAP2-RbTKO cells
