RBM20 mutations result in cardiac remodelling and pathogenesis in mice

ABSTRACT: Genetic studies show that mutations in a gene named as RNA binding motif 20 (RBM20) are associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We selected two mutations (S637A and S639G) located in arginine/serine-rich (RS) domain of RNA binding motif 20 (RBM20) and generated two knock-in mouse models (Rbm20S637A and Rbm20S639G) respectively. The heterozygous (HT) and homozygous (HM) in both mouse lines displayed DCM phenotype with enlarged left ventricular (LV) chamber, thinner ventricular walls and reduced ejection fraction. We also observed higher mortality rate in both HM mice, ~50% in Rbm20S639G and ~34% in Rbm20S637A at an early age (<100days). Differentially expressed and spliced genes from RNA-seq data were involved in arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, and sudden death based on Human Phenotype Ontology enrichment analysis (FDR≤0.05) in both mouse lines. Immunofluorescent analysis in tissues and single cardiomyocytes respectively showed both mutations promote RBM20 nucleocytoplasmic trafficking and protein condensates, suggesting they are gain-of-function mutations, leading to high mortality rate at younger age. Together, we reported a new mechanism by which cardiac genetic mutations causes protein trafficking and RNA-protein aggregation in cardiac remodelling.

Deletion of the RS domain in RBM20 leads to dilated cardiomyopathy

Project description:Human patients carrying genetic mutations in RBM20 develop a clinically aggressive dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) characterized by early onset heart failure, high mortality, and sudden death, which is recapitulated in animal models. RBM20 has two primary domains, an RNA recognition motif (RRM) that binds RNA and an arginine/serine (RS)-rich domain that mediates spliceosome assembly and nuclear localization. Reported data showed that mutations in the RS domain lead to severe DCM. Loss of the RRM domain in RBM20 has been shown to disrupt the splicing of RBM20 target transcripts but does not lead to DCM. The objectives of the present study were to determine the functional role of the RS domain in DCM and examine the mechanisms. Mice expressing RBM20 lacking the RS domain (Rbm20ΔRS) were generated using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. Male and female Rbm20ΔRS mice developed a DCM-like phenotype characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, that is more severe in females. Splicing of RBM20 target genes, including Ttn, was disrupted in both Rbm20ΔRS and Rbm20ΔRRM mice. However, RBM20 was mis-localized to the sarcoplasm only in the hearts of Rbm20ΔRS mice, indicating that mis-localization of RBM20 rather than disrupted splicing is key in DCM pathogenesis.

Precise genomic editing of a pathogenic RBM20 mutation rescues dilated cardiomyopathy

Project description:Mutations in RNA binding motif protein 20 (RBM20) are a common cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Many RBM20 mutations cluster within an arginine/serine rich (RS-rich) domain, resulting in mis-localization of RBM20 to ribonucleoprotein granules within the cytoplasm, abnormal splicing of cardiac genes, and cardiomyocyte dysfunction. We used adenine base editing (ABE) and prime editing to correct pathogenic p.R634Q and p.R636S mutations in the RS-rich domain in human isogenic induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. We also created humanized Rbm20R636Q mutant mice, which succumbed to severe cardiac dysfunction, heart failure and premature death. Systemic delivery of ABE components by adeno-associated virus in these mice restored cardiac function and extended life span. These findings demonstrate the potential of precise correction of genetic mutations as a promising therapeutic approach for DCM.

Global bottom-up analysis of wild type and RBM20 knock out rat hearts by LC-TIMS-MSMS

Project description:Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major risk factor for developing heart failure and is often associated with an increased risk for life-threatening arrhythmia. Although numerous causal genes for DCM have been identified, RNA binding motif 20 (RBM20) remains one of the few splicing factors that, when mutated or genetically ablated, leads to the development of DCM. In this study we sought to identify changes in the cardiac proteome in RBM20 deficient rat hearts using global quantitative proteomics to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms precipitating the development of DCM secondary to RBM20 loss. Our analysis identified changes in titin interacting proteins, as well as mitochondrial enzymes, implicating activation of pathological hypertrophy and mitochondrial dysfunction in DCM development in RBM20 deficient rats. Collectively, our findings provide the first look into changes in the cardiac proteome associated with genetic ablation of RBM20.

Mislocalization of pathogenic RBM20 variants in dilated cardiomyopathy is caused by loss-of-interaction with Transportin-3

Project description:Severe forms of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are associated with point mutations in the alternative splicing regulator RBM20 that are frequently located in the arginine/serine-rich domain (RS-domain). Such mutations can cause defective splicing and cytoplasmic mislocalization, which leads to the formation of detrimental cytoplasmic granules. Successful development of personalized therapies requires identifying the direct mechanisms of pathogenic RBM20 variants. Here, we decipher the molecular mechanism of RBM20 mislocalization and its specific role in DCM pathogenesis. We demonstrate that mislocalized RBM20 variants retain their splice regulatory activity, which reveals that aberrant cellular localization drives the pathological phenotype. A genome-wide CRISPR knock-out screen combined with image-enabled cell sorting identified Transportin-3 (TNPO3) as the main nuclear importer of RBM20. We show that the direct RBM20-TNPO3 interaction involves the RS-domain, disrupted by pathogenic variants. Re-localization of pathogenic RBM20 variants to the nucleus restores alternative splicing and dissolves cytoplasmic granules in cell culture and animal models. These findings provide proof-of-principle for developing therapeutic strategies to restore RBM20’s nuclear localization in RBM20-DCM patients.

I536T variant of RBM20 affects splicing of cardiac structural proteins that are causative for developing dilated cardiomyopathy

Project description:Background: RBM20 gene is one of the genetic predispositions for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Variants in RS domain has been reported in many DCM patients, while the pathogenicity of variants within the RNA-recognition motif remains unknown. Methods and results: We detected two human patients of I536T-RBM20 variant without DCM phenotype in sudden death cohorts. We performed splicing reporter assay and generated I538T knock-in (KI) mouse model (Rbm20I538T) in order to reveal the significance of this variant. The reporter assay revealed that human I536T variant affected TTN splicing pattern compared to wild-type. In the mouse experiments, Rbm20I538T mice presented a different splicing pattern in Ttn, Ldb3, Camk2d and Ryr2. The expression of Casq1, Mybpc2 and Myot were upregulated in Rbm20I538T mice. Whereas, Rbm20I538T mice did show neither DCM nor cardiac dysfunction by histopathological examination and ultrasound echocardiography. Conclusion: I536T-RBM20 (I538T-Rbm20) variant does not cause DCM phenotype, but changes the gene splicing and expression effect. The splicing and expression changes in Ttn and Ca handling genes such as Casq1, Camk2d and Ryr2 may be contributory to sudden arrhythmogenic death.

RBM20 orchestrates cardiac pre-mRNA

Project description:The RNA-binding protein RBM20 has been implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a major cause of chronic heart failure. To determine how RBM20 regulates alternative splicing, we combined transcriptome-wide CLIP-seq, RNA-seq, and quantitative proteomics in cell culture, rat, and human hearts. Our analyses revealed a distinct RBM20 RNA-recognition element in predominantly intronic binding sites and linked repression of exon splicing with RBM20-binding near 3prime- and 5prime-splice sites. Our proteomic data show RBM20 interaction with U1- and U2-snRNPs and suggests splicing repression through spliceosome stalling at complex A. Among direct RBM20 targets are several genes involved in DCM as well as new genes not previously associated with the disease process. In human failing hearts, we demonstrate that reduced expression levels of RBM20 affect alternative splicing of several direct targets, indicating that differences in RBM20 gene expression may affect cardiac function. These findings reveal a new mechanism to understand the pathogenesis of human heart failure. The provided data files for RNA-seq contain information for reads that map to human RBM20 only.

Molecular remodeling of ion channels, exchangers and pumps in atrial and ventricular myocytes in ischemic cardiomyopathy: left ventricle DCM

Project description:We wanted to see whether the set of affected genes in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) is the same or different as compared to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). To find this out, we placed the single DCM sample on the same microarray slide with the ICM samples. Analysis of microarray data with ICM samples only showed 63 affected genes, while that carried out with 2 ICM samples PLUS one DCM sample reduced this number to just four genes. From this result we conclude that ICM and DCM affect different sets of genes in ventricular myocytes. Keywords: Expression profiling by array From the associated publication: To find out whether the splice microarray results reported in Table 3 are disease-type specific, we supplemented the same splice microarray of ICM ventricular myocytes with one additional sample prepared from left ventricle of a 41-years old dilated cardiomyopathy male donor. The top-list ANOVA gene score annotation for combined altered CE&P genes in ventricular myocytes (Table 3) was reduced from 63 to just 4 genes (FXYD1 (Gfold = +2.4), HCN2 (-1.5), GLRA1 (-1.8) and GJC1 (-2.3)).

Single-molecule, full-length transcript isoform sequencing reveals disease-associated RNA isoforms

Project description:Alternative splicing generates differing RNA isoforms that govern phenotypic complexity of eukaryotes. Its malfunction underlies many diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Comparative analysis of RNA isoforms at the genome-wide scale has been difficult. Here, we established an experimental and computational pipeline that accurately quantifies transcript isoforms in their entire length from cDNA sequences with a full-length isoform detection accuracy of 97.6%. We generated a searchable, quantitative human transcriptome annotation with 31,025 known and 5,740 novel transcript isoforms (http://steinmetzlab.embl.de/iBrowser/). By analyzing the isoforms in the presence of RNA Binding Motif Protein 20 (RBM20) mutations associated with aggressive dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), we identified 121 differentially expressed transcript isoforms in 107 cardiac genes. By establishing an isoform-differential expression test, our approach revealed that 11 of these genes displayed no detectable change in overall RNA expression. However, significant differences in the expression of specific isoforms in these genes was observed. These isoform specific effects demonstrate the need of analyzing RNA isoform expression levels rather than total gene expression levels.

Striated muscle-specific base editing enables correction of mutations causing dilated cardiomyopathy

Project description:Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the second most common cause for heart failure with no cure except a high-risk heart transplantation. Approximately 30% of DCM patients harbor heritable mutations which are amenable to CRISPR-based gene therapy1. However, challenges related to delivery of the editing complex and off-target concerns hamper the broad applicability of CRISPR agents in the heart2. We employed a combination of the viral gene transfer vector AAVMYO with superior targeting specificity of heart muscle tissue3 and CRISPR base editors to repair patient mutations in the cardiac splice factor Rbm20, which cause aggressive and arrhythmogenic DCM4. Using optimized conditions, we could improve splice defects in human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) and repair >70% of cardiomyocytes in two Rbm20 knock-in mouse models that we generated to serve as an in vivo platform of our editing strategy. Treatment of juvenile mice restored the localization defect of RBM20 in 75% of cells and splicing of RBM20 targets including TTN. Three months after injection, cardiac dilation and ejection fraction reached wildtype levels. Single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) uncovered restoration of the transcriptional profile across all major cardiac cell types and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) revealed no evidence for aberrant off-target editing. Our study highlights the potential of base editors combined with AAVMYO to achieve gene repair for treatment of hereditary cardiac diseases.
