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

ABSTRACT: 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 analysis of astrocytes differentiated from iPS cells generated from monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia

Project description:Previous studies have implicated several brain cell types in schizophrenia, but the genetic impact of astrocytes is unknown. Considering their high complexity in humans, astrocytes are likely key determinants of neurodevelopmental diseases. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) -derived astrocytes differentiated from five monozygotic twin pairs discordant for schizophrenia and five healthy subjects were studied for alterations related to high genetic risk and clinical manifestation of SCZ in astrocyte transcriptomics.

Modelling and rescuing neurodevelopmental defect of Down syndrome using induced pluripotent stem cells from monozygotic twins discordant for trisomy 21 [CGH]

Project description:Down syndrome (trisomy 21) is the most common viable chromosomal disorder with intellectual impairment and several other developmental abnormalities. Here, we report the generation and characterization of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from monozygotic twins discordant for trisomy 21 in order to eliminate the effects of the variability of genomic background. The alterations observed by genetic analysis at the iPSC level and at first approximation in early development illustrate the developmental disease transcriptional signature of Down syndrome. Moreover, we observed an abnormal neural differentiation of Down syndrome iPSCs in vivo when formed teratoma in NOD-SCID mice, and in vitro when differentiated into neuroprogenitors and neurons. These defects were associated with changes in the architecture and density of neurons, astroglial and oligodendroglial cells together with misexpression of genes involved in neurogenesis, lineage specification and differentiation. Furthermore, we provide novel evidence that dual-specificity tyrosine-(Y)-phosphorylation regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A) on chromosome 21 likely contribute to these defects. Importantly, we found that targeting DYRK1A pharmacologically or by shRNA results in a considerable correction of these defects. aCGH profiling of iPS cells derived from fibroblasts of monozygotic twins discordant for trisomy 21
