Project description:Cerebellar cortex expression in ataxia-telangiectasia patients and normal controls. The neurodegenerative disease known as ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is caused by the absence of the ATM (A-T mutated) protein. A long-standing mystery surrounding A-T is why cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) appear uniquely vulnerable to ATM-deficiency. Here, we present that 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), a newly recognized epigenetic marker found at high levels in neurons, is substantially reduced in human A-T and Atm-/- mouse cerebellar PCs. TET1, an enzyme that converts 5mC to 5hmC, responds to DNA damage. Manipulation of TET1 activity directly affects neuronal cell cycle reentry and cell death after the induction of DNA damage. Quantitative, genome-wide analysis of 5hmC of samples from human cerebellum showed that in ATM-deficiency there is a remarkable genome-wide reduction of 5hmC enrichment at both proximal and distal regulatory elements. These results reveal a role of TET1-mediated 5hmC in DNA damage response, and provide insights into the basis of a PC-specific DNA demethylation alteration in ATM-deficiency.

Human frozen tissue was obtained from the NICHD Brain and Tissue Bank of Developmental Disorders at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD. RNA was prepared and run on an Illumina Human HT-12 v4 microarray. 3 ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) cases and 4 normal controls.

There are two groups, A-T and Control. For each group, cerebellar DNA samples were immunoprecipitated with anti-5mC (n=1) or anti-5hmC (n=3). There were also two replicates of input control for each group.

Project description:Previous studies have demonstrated the possible roles of dysregulation of endogenous retroelements in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. In our study, we demonstrated that the activation and upregulation of endogenous retroelement LINE-1 in the cerebellum can induce the cerebellar ataxia phenotype in vivo using mouse model. While there has been reports demonstrating that ATM gene, whose mutations are causative of Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T) in humans, regulates LINE-1, and suggesting that the LINE-1 dysregulation caused by its mutation plays a role in the pathogenesis of ataxia phenotype in A-T, little is known about the transcriptome of the A-T patients’ cerebellum. This is the first detailed analysis of the cellular and retroelement transcriptome in A-T patient’s cerebellum, and the result of this analysis, together with the transcriptomic analysis in our LINE-1 activation mice, collectively suggests the profound roles of LINE-1 dysregulation in the development as well as the progression of ataxia in A-T patients.

Project description:The symptoms of ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) include a progressive neurodegeneration caused by ATM protein deficiency. We previously found that nuclear accumulation of histone deacetylase-4, HDAC4, contributes to this degeneration; we now report that increased histone H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) mediated by polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) also plays an important role in the A-T phenotype. Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a core catalytic component of PRC2, is identified as a new ATM kinase target, and its S734 phosphorylation reduces protein stability. Thus, PRC2 formation is elevated along with H3K27me3in ATM deficiency. ChIP-sequencing shows a significant increase in H3K27me3 ‘marks’ and a dramatic shift in their location. The change of H3K27me3 chromatin-binding pattern is directly related to cell cycle re-entry and cell death of ATM-deficient neurons. Lentiviral knockdown of EZH2 rescues Purkinje cell degeneration and behavioral abnormalities in Atm / mice, demonstrating that EZH2-mediated H3K27me3 is another key factor in A-T neurodegeneration. Two samples each were run of brain total RNA from Atm+/+ and Atm-/- mice.

Project description:The difficulty associated with generating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from patients with chromosomal instability syndromes suggests the cellular DNA damage response poses a barrier to reprogramming. Here we demonstrate that fibroblasts from patients with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) can be reprogrammed to bona-fide iPSC, albeit at a reduced efficiency. A-T iPSC display defective radiation-induced signaling, radiosensitivity and cell cycle checkpoint defects. Bioinformatic analysis of gene expression in the A-T iPSC identifies abnormalities in DNA damage signaling pathways as well as changes in mitochondrial and pentose phosphate pathways. A-T iPSC can be differentiated into functional neurons and thus represent a suitable model system to investigate A-T associated neurodegeneration. Collectively our data show that iPSC can be generated from a chromosomal instability syndrome and that these cells can be used to discover early developmental consequences of ATM deficiency, such as altered mitochondrial function, that may be relevant to A-T pathogenesis and amenable to therapeutic intervention.
