Haploinsufficiency of the mouse Tshz3 gene leads to kidney dysfunction

ABSTRACT: Renal tract defects and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) deficits represent the phenotypic core of the 19q12 deletion syndrome caused by the loss of one copy of the TSHZ3 gene. While a proportion of Tshz3 heterozygous (Tshz3+/lacZ) mice display ureteral defects, no kidney defects have been reported in these mice. The purpose of this study was to characterize the expression of Tshz3 in adult kidney as well as the renal physiological consequences of embryonic haploinsufficiency of Tshz3 by analyzing the morphology and function of Tshz3 heterozygous adult kidney. Here, we described Tshz3 expression in the smooth muscle and stromal cells lining the renal pelvis, the papilla and glomerular endothelial cells (GEnCs) of the adult kidney. Histological analysis showed that Tshz3+/lacZ adult kidney had an average of 29% fewer glomeruli than wild type kidney. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of Tshz3+/lacZ glomeruli revealed ultrastructural defects. Compared to wild type, Tshz3+/lacZ mice showed no difference in their urine parameters but lower blood urea, phosphates, magnesium and potassium at 2 months of age. At the molecular level, transcriptome analysis identified differentially expressed genes related to inflammatory processes in Tshz3+/lacZ compare to wild type (WT; control) adult kidneys. Lastly, analysis of the urinary peptidome revealed 33 peptides associated with Tshz3+/lacZ adult mice. These results provide the first evidence that in the mouse Tshz3 haploinsufficiency leads to cellular, molecular and functional abnormalities in the adult mouse kidney.

Consequences of postnatal Tshz3 deletion: implications for autism spectrum disorder

Project description:We recently identified heterozygous deletions of the gene TSHZ3, which encodes a Zn-finger transcription factor, in patients with a syndrome including autistic features and provided evidence in mice for a link between Tshz3 haploinsufficiency, defects in cortical projection neurons (CPNs) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD)-like abnormalities. To get more insight into when and where TSHZ3 is required for the proper development of the brain, we generated and characterized a novel mouse model of conditional Tshz3 deletion in projection neurons from postnatal day 2-3 onward. These mice exhibit altered striatal expression of genes encoding for synaptic components, electrophysiological and synaptic changes in striatal cholinergic interneurons, , as well as ASD-relevant behavioral deficits. These data, by revealing a crucial postnatal role of TSHZ3 in the development and function of the corticostriatal circuitry that might be determinant for ASD pathogenesis, offer a novel ASD model and further open the possibility for an early postnatal therapeutic window for the syndrome linked to TSHZ3 haploinsufficiency.

Transcription profiling of mouse embryonic cells (E9.5) with homozygous knockout of Tbx1 compared to heterozygous Tbx1 knockout

Project description:22q11 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is mainly characterised by cardiovascular, craniofacial, thymic and parathyroid abnormalities. Haploinsufficiency of the transcription factor, TBX1 is considered to be a major underlying cause of these defects. Mice in which Tbx1 has been mutated phenocopy 22q11DS. In order to elucidate the transcriptional pathways regulated by Tbx1, the gene expression profile of Tbx1-lacZ positive cells isolated from E9.5 Df1/Tbx1lacZ embryos (Tbx1-null) were compared to cells isolated from Tbx1+/lacZ (Tbx1-heterozygous) embryos. This analysis has led to a better understanding of the pathways important in pharyngeal and heart development. Experiment design: 3 pools of cells (biological replicates) isolated from Df1/Tbx1lacZ embryos and Tbx1+/lacZ embryos were used for hybridisation onto 6 MOE430 v2 oligonucleotide array chips (Affymetrix), making 12 microarrays in total. Each pool of cells was isolated from at least 8 embryos.

Mouse kidney glomeruli. Control vs. podocin(R231Q/A268V)

Project description:Similar to human patients, mice with the compound heterozygous mutation podocin R231Q/A268V, develop a late onset FSGS. Here, we did a proteomics anaylsis of kidney glomeruli before the onset of disease (mice at 3 weeks of age). Analysis of the data reveals that there are no developmental changes in the proteome of compund heterozygous mice.

LSAGE Library Human Renal Glomeruli

Project description:Glomeruli were isolated from the kidney of a 72 yo male patient. The kidney was surgically removed due to renal cell carcinoma. The glomeruli were isolated from uninvolved renal parenchyma. Histology (H&E) of glomeruli and interstitium was normal. Keywords: Kidney Subcompartment Glomeruli were isolated using the sieving technique in ice-cold PBS, followed by isolation of total RNA with RNeasy kit. RNA was judged intact by agarose gel electrophoresis. SAGE library was custom-synthesized by Genzyme Corportation.

TSHZ3 deletion causes an autism syndrome and defects in cortical projection neurons

Project description:TSHZ3, which encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor, was recently positioned as a hub gene in a module of genes with the highest expression in the developing human neocortex, but its functions remained unknown. Here, we identify TSHZ3 as the critical region for a syndrome associated with heterozygous deletions at 19q12q13.11, which includes autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In Tshz3 null mice, differentially expressed genes include layer-specific markers of cerebral cortical projection neurons (CPNs) and their human orthologues are strongly associated with ASD. Furthermore, heterozygous Tshz3-deficient mice show functional changes at synapses established by CPNs and exhibit core ASD-like behavioral abnormalities. These findings reveal essential roles for Tshz3 in CPN development and function, whose alterations can account for ASD in the newly-defined TSHZ3 deletion syndrome.

Analysis of embryonic day E14.5 and E16.5 mouse ureters from Tshz3LacZ/LacZ mutants and wild types

Project description:In the urinary tract, smooth muscle (SM) is present in the renal pelvis, the ureter, the bladder and the urethra and plays a crucial role in the functional and structural integrity of these organs. In Tshz3 mutant ureters the myogenic program is not activated in the proximal region due to the absence of expression of myocardin (Myocd), a key regulator of SM differentiation. We set out to characterize TSHZ3-dependent mechanisms that participate to the process of ureteric smooth muscle cells (SMC) differentiation. To this aim, we used microarrays to identify distinct classes of up- and down-regulated genes in Tshz3LAcZ/LacZ mutant ureters at two different time points; at E14.5, which corresponds to the onset of the myogenic program and at E16.5, when SMC express the full repertoire of differentiation marker genes. Mouse embryonic (E14.5 and E16.5) wild type and Tshz3LacZ/LacZ mutant ureters were dissected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:We identified Fox1 and Foxc2 core transcription factors in kidney glomeruli. To investigate their transcriptional regulatory roles in glomeruli, we performed ChIPseq of Foxc1 and Foxc2 in adult mouse kidney glomeruli.
