Project description:We have performed comparative transcriptome profile from lymphoblastoid cell lines from four Williams-Beuren syndrome patients and two patients with partial deletions of the region. The goal was to find deregulated genes specifically in WBS versus atypical deletions, and to determine the biological pathways affected in WBS patients.

Although the molecular cause of the disorder is well-established, little is known about the global impact of the deletion on gene expression. Here we profiled the transcriptomes of fibroblast cell lines from 8 young girls with WBS, and 9 sex- and age-matched control individuals Keywords: disease state analysis, gene expression profiling

The goal was to find deregulated genes specifically in WBS versus atypical deletions, and to determine the biological pathways affected in WBS patients. 6 samples were hybridized twice each: once labeled with Cy5 and once labeled with Cy3 (dye-swap). Each sample was hybridized against a pool of five controls of the same gender.

Appropriate informed consent was obtained for each sample by the physicians in charge. Human skin fibroblasts were grown in HAM F-10, supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% antibiotics (Invitrogen). Total RNA was prepared using TriZOL Reagent (Invitrogen) and RNeasy Mini Columns (Qiagen) according to the manufacturers’ instructions.

Project description:While psychiatric disorders (e.g., schizophrenia) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are typically associated with a deficit in social behavior, the opposite trait of hypersociability is exhibited by individuals with specific neurodevelopmental disorders, e.g., Angelman Syndrome (AS) and Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WBS). We have recently reported that the deletion of the miR379-410 cluster in mice led to hypersocial behavior. To study the roles of this miRNA cluster in the context of WBS, we sent for smallRNA sequencing RNA isolated from isogenic human iPSC-derived neurons harboring a deletion present in Williams-Beuren-Syndrome patients (7q11.23). Specifically, we found that members of the miR379-410 cluster were strikingly overrepresented among downregulated miRNAs in iNeurons harboring a deletion of the WBS critical region. Thus, we obtained the first evidence for the pathophysiological significance of the miR379-410 miRNA cluster in the context of WBS. We conclude that targeting this novel pathway could have therapeutic potential for WBS and other neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by social impairments.

Project description:Copy number variants (CNV) influence the expression of genes that map not only within, but also on their flanks. To assess the possible mechanism(s) underlying this “neighboring effect”, we compared intrachromosomal interactions and histone modifications in cell lines of patients affected by genomic disorders and control individuals. We detected alteration of intrachromosomal interactions (chromosomal looping) between the loci of affected genes and the rearranged interval using chromosome conformation capture (4C-seq). These results are consistent with the observed gene expression alterations. We also pinpointed concomitant changes in histone modifications between samples. Modified genes were often looping together, possibly forming an interacting cluster. We conclude that large genomic rearrangements can lead to chromatin conformation changes that extend far away from the structural variant, thus possibly modulating expression globally and modifying the phenotype. For example, we observe that the chromatin conformation, histone marks and relative expression levels of the AUTS2 gene, mutations of which are associated with autism and intellectual disabilities, are modified in Williams-Beuren syndrome patients cell lines.

Project description:Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WBS) is caused by the microdeletion of approximately 25 genes on chromosome 7q11.23, and is characterized by a spectrum of cognitive and behavioural features. We generated cortical neurons from a WBS individual and unaffected (WT) control by directed differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Single cell mRNA analyses and immunostaining demonstrated very efficient production of differentiated cells expressing markers of mature neurons of mixed subtypes and from multiple cortical layers. We found that passive membrane properties were comparable in these WBS and WT neurons, but there was a profound alteration in action potentials, with significantly prolonged WBS repolarization times and a WBS deficit in voltage-activated K+ currents. Miniature excitatory synaptic currents were normal, indicating that unitary excitatory synaptic transmission was not altered. Gene expression profiling identified 136 negatively enriched gene sets in WBS compared to WT neurons. These genes are involved in synaptic transmission and assembly, cation transport, axon guidance and elastic fibre pathways, and some encode ion channels. Our findings provide insight into gene dysregulation and electrophysiological defects in WBS patient neurons.

Project description:Development of prognostic models for neuropsychiatric disorders requires careful consideration of individual 1) parent-of-origin effects (POEs) relying on 2) nuclear 3D chromatin architecture of the nerve cells and 3) epigenetic impact of miRNAs produced in parental germ cells. The interplay of these events in shaping cognitive phenotypes in progeny is far from clear. Simple experimental model systems such as Drosophila can help to probe the causes and consequences leading to human neuropathology. Recently, we have developed a Drosophila model for Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WBS) – a mutant agnts3 of the agnostic locus (X:11AB) harboring limk1 gene for the key enzyme of actin remodeling LIM-kinase1. The mutation agnts3 drastically increases frequency of ectopic contacts (FEC) in specific regions of intercalary heterochromatin, suppresses learning acquisition and memory formation and affects locomotion. This study reveals that in reciprocal hybrids between agnts3 and the wild type strain Berlin the polytene chromosome bands are heterogeneous in manner of FEC regulation depending either on maternal or paternal gene origin. Bioinformatic analysis demonstrates that FEC between X:11AB and the other bands of the X chromosome partly depends on short (~ 30 bp) identical DNA fragments homologous to Drosophila 372 bp satellite DNA repeats. Although learning acquisition in conditioned courtship suppression paradigm is similar in hybrids, the middle-term memory formation shows patroclinic inheritance. Seemingly, this depends on changes in miR-974 expression levels. Several parameters of locomotion demonstrate heterosis. Our data indicate that agnts3 locus is capable of trans-regulating gene activity via POEs on chromatin nuclear organization, thereby affecting behavioral quantitative traits.
