Mutation in LBX1/Lbx1 precludes transcription factor cooperativity and causes congenital hypoventilation in humans and mice

ABSTRACT: The respiratory rhythm is generated by the preBötzinger complex in the medulla oblongata, and is modulated by neurons in the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN), which are essential for accelerating respiration in response to high CO2. Here we identify a LBX1 frameshift (LBX1FS) mutation in patients with congenital central hypoventilation. The mutation alters the C-terminal but not the DNA-binding domain of LBX1. Mice with the analogous mutation recapitulate the breathing deficits found in humans. Furthermore, the mutation only interferes with a small subset of Lbx1 functions, and in particular with development of RTN neurons that coexpress Lbx1 and Phox2b. Genome-wide analyses in a cell culture model show that Lbx1FS and wild-type Lbx1 proteins are mostly bound to similar sites, but that Lbx1FS is unable to cooperate with Phox2b. Thus, our analyses on Lbx1FS (dys)function reveals an unusual pathomechanism; that is, a mutation that selectively interferes with the ability of Lbx1 to cooperate with Phox2b, and thus impairs the development of a small subpopulation of neurons essential for respiratory control.

Ventral parafacial inhibitory neurons regulate baseline breathing by a mechanism involving disinhibition

Project description:A parafacial region of the medulla called the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) is an important respiratory control center. A group of glutamatergic neurons in this region function as respiratory chemoreceptors by regulating breathing in response to changes in tissue CO2/H+. Cellular mechanisms underlying this function involve H+-inhibition of TASK2 channels and -activation of GPR4 receptors. Evidence also suggests the RTN and greater parafacial region functions as a CO2/H+ sensing network where CO2/H+-activated and -inhibited neurons talk to each other through excitatory and inhibitory interactions. However, contributions of parafacial inhibitory neurons to control of breathing are unknown, and synaptic properties of RTN chemorecpetors have not been characterized. Here, we show the ventral parafacial region contains parvalbumin (Pvalb), cholecystokinin (CCK), neuron-derived neurotrophic factor (Ndnf) and somatostatin (SST) subtypes of interneurons including a subset strongly inhibited by CO2/H+. We also show that chemosensitive RTN neurons receive tonic inhibitory input under control conditions that is withdrawn in a CO2/H+-dependent manner, and chemogenetic inhibition of ventral parafacial inhibitory neurons increases baseline respiratory activity. These results suggest ventral parafacial inhibitory neurons are important determinants of respiratory activity under baseline conditions when the respiratory system is most prone to failure.

Kir4.1 channels contribute to astrocyte CO2/H+-sensitivity and the drive to breathe

Project description:Astrocytes in the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) stimulate breathing in response to CO2/H+, however, it is not clear how these cells detect changes in CO2/H+. Considering Kir4.1/5.1 channels are CO2/H+-sensitive and important for several astrocyte-dependent processes, we consider Kir4.1/5.1 a leading candidate CO2/H+ sensor in RTN astrocytes. To address this, we show that RTN astrocytes express Kir4.1 and Kir5.1 transcripts. We also characterized respiratory function in astrocyte-specific inducible Kir4.1 knockout mice (Kir4.1 cKO); these mice breathe normally under room air conditions but show a blunted ventilatory response to CO2, which could be partly rescued by viral mediated re-expression of Kir4.1 in RTN astrocytes. At the cellular level, astrocytes in slices from astrocyte-specific inducible Kir4.1 knockout mice are less responsive to CO2/H+ and show a diminished capacity for paracrine modulation of respiratory neurons. These results suggest Kir4.1/5.1 channels in RTN astrocytes contribute to respiratory behavior.

Expression data from Lbx1-EGFP+ flow sorted cells from Pitx2 WT, HT, Null forelimb tissue

Project description:Determing the gene network regulated by Pitx2 in during forelimb muscle development of mouse embryos at E12.5. Lbx1 is coexpressed in Pitx2+ cells during forelimb development, thus Pitx2-LacZ and Lbx1-EGFP+ mice were cross bred to allow us to purify Lbx1-EGFP+|Pitx2 -wild type, het, or null cells by flow sorting We used microarray analysis to determine the genes misregulated in Pitx2 null mice compared to Pitx2 wild type and heterozygotes. Lbx1-EGFP+|Pitx2(+/+, LacZ/+, or LacZ/LacZ) cells were flow sorted, RNA extracted, labelled cDNA was hybridized to Affymetrix mouse genome 430 2.0 arrays

Combinatorial effects on gene expression at the Lbx1/Fgf8 locus resolve Split-Hand/Foot Malformation type 3 [RNA-seq]

Project description:Split-Hand/Foot Malformation type 3 (SHFM3) is a congenital limb malformation associated with tandem duplications at the LBX1/FGF8 locus. Yet, the disease patho-mechanism remains unsolved. Here we investigated the functional consequences of SHFM3-associated rearrangements on chromatin conformation and gene expression in vivo in transgenic mice. We show that the Lbx1/Fgf8 locus consists of two separate, but interacting, regulatory domains. Re-engineering of a SHFM3-associated duplication and a newly reported inversion in mice resulted in restructuring of the chromatin architecture. This led to an ectopic activation of the Lbx1 and Btrc genes in the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) in an Fgf8-like pattern. Artificial repositioning of the AER-specific enhancers of Fgf8 was sufficient to induce misexpression of Lbx1 and Btrc. We provide evidence that the SHFM3 phenotype is the result of a combinatorial effect on gene misexpression and dosage in the developing limb. Our results reveal new insights into the molecular mechanism underlying SHFM3 and provide novel conceptual framework for how genomic rearrangements can cause gene misexpression and disease.

Identification of Phox2b-regulated genes by expression profiling of cranial motoneuron precursors on NIA 15k microarray

Project description:Branchiomotor neurons are an important class of cranial motor neurons that innervate the branchial-arch-derived muscles of the face, jaw and neck. They arise in the ventralmost progenitor domain of the rhombencephalon characterized by expression of the homeodomain transcription factors Nkx2.2 and Phox2b. Phox2b in particular plays a key role in the specification of branchiomotor neurons. In its absence, generic neuronal differentiation is defective in the progenitor domain, and no branchiomotor neurons are produced. Conversely, ectopic expression of Phox2b in spinal regions of the neural tube promotes cell cycle exit and neuronal differentiation and at the same time induces genes and an axonal phenotype characteristic for branchiomotor neurons. How Phox2b exerts its pleiotropic functions, both as a proneural gene and a neuronal subtype determinant, has remained unknown. To gain further insight into the genetic programme downstream of Phox2b we searched for novel Phox2b-regulated genes by cDNA microarray (here NIA 15k slides) analysis of facial branchiomotor neuron precursors from heterozygous and homozygous Phox2b mutant embryos. Keywords: Phox2b-regulated genes identification Four biological replicates each in dye swap
