Neurodevelopmental Defects in Human Cortical Organoids with N-acetylneuraminic Acid Synthase Mutation

ABSTRACT: Biallelic genetic variants in N-acetylneuraminic acid synthase (NANS), a critical enzyme in endogenous sialic acid biosynthesis, are clinically associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. However, the mechanism underlying the neuropathological consequences has remained elusive. Here, we discovered that NANS mutation resulted in absence of both sialic acid and protein polysialylation in the cortical organoids and significantly reduced the proliferation and expansion of neural progenitors. NANS mutation dysregulated neural migration and differentiation, disturbed synapse formation, and weakened neuronal activity. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that NANS loss-of-function markedly altered transcriptional programs involved in neuronal differentiation and ribosomal biogenesis in various neuronal cell types. Similarly, Nans heterozygous mice exhibited impaired cortical neurogenesis and neurobehavioral deficits. Collectively, our findings reveal a crucial role of NANS-mediated endogenous sialic acid biosynthesis in regulating multiple features of human cortical development, thus linking NANS mutation with its clinically relevant neurodevelopmental disorders.

Sialic acid-mediated gene expression in Streptococcus pneumoniae and the role of NanR as a transcriptional activator of the nan gene cluster

Project description:In this study, we investigated the transcriptomic response of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 to sialic acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid: Neu5Ac). Transcriptome comparison of the D39 wild-type grown in M17 medium with and without sialic acid revealed the elevated expression of various genes and operons including the nan gene cluster (nan operon-I and nanA gene). Our microarray analysis and promoter-lacZ fusion studies showed that the transcriptional regulator NanR acts as a transcriptional activator of nan operon-I and the nanA gene in the presence of sialic acid. The putative regulatory site of NanR in the promoter region of nan operon-I is predicted and confirmed by promoter truncation experiments. Furthermore, the role of CcpA in the regulation of the nan gene cluster is demonstrated through microarray analysis and promoter-lacZ fusion studies, suggesting that in the presence of sialic acid and glucose, CcpA represses the expression of nan operon-I while the expression of the nanA gene is CcpA-independent. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Bulk RNA-seq on CTNNB1 mutation CRISPR-corrected ASD iPSC-derived neural progenitor cells as well as one matched control iPSC-derived neural progenitor cells to study the effects of autism genetic background

Project description:Alterations in cortical neurogenesis are implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders including autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Many ASD risk genes have been identified as critical for brain development, but the contribution of genetic backgrounds, although inferred in complex genetic disorders such as ASD, remains unclear. Here, using isogenic induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and cortical organoid models, we report that a heterozygous PTEN p.I135L mutation found in an ASD patient with macrocephaly dysregulates cortical neurogenesis in an ASD genetic background-dependent fashion. We found that this PTEN p.I135L mutation led to overproduction of NPC subtypes as well as neuronal subtypes including both deep and upper layer neurons in its ASD background, but not when introduced into a control genetic background. ASD and control background differences in neurogenesis, neural development and synapse signaling were also observed. These findings provide experimental evidence that both a PTEN p.I135L mutation and ASD genetic background contribute to cellular features consistent with ASD associated with macrocephaly.

Comparison of WT and CHD2 haploinsufficent human interneuron progenitor (hMGE) and interneuron (hcIN) models, to define differences in RNA expression, genomic accessibility and histone 3 lysine 27 acetylation

Project description:Background: Mutations in the chromatin remodeller CHD2 have been strongly associated with multiple neurodevelopmental disorders. However the precise function of CHD2 through neuronal development remains largely uncharacterized. Methods: We have used our protocol for generating cortical interneurons from human embryonic stem cells to study the role of CHD2 in cortical interneuron development, by comparing wild type hMGE and hcINs with a model with CHD2 haploinsufficency Results: This work found that CHD2 controls the expresson of genes with rolls in cell-cell interaction in neuronal precursors and directly influences the exprssion of genes necessary for the production of post-mitotic cortical interneurons Conclusions: As CHD2 plays distinct roles in several aspects of interneuron development, pathogenic CHD2 mutations have high potential to disrupt one or more of these events, contributing to neurodevelopmental disorders

Phosphoproteomic analysis of Ank2-mutant mice

Project description:Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) represent neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by social deficits, repetitive behaviors, and various comorbidities, including epilepsy. ANK2, which encodes a neuronal scaffolding protein, is frequently mutated in ASD, but its in vivo functions and disease-related mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we report that mice with Ank2 knockout restricted to cortical and hippocampal excitatory neurons (Ank2-cKO mice) show ASD-related behavioral abnormalities and juvenile seizure-related death. Ank2-cKO cortical neurons show abnormally increased excitability and firing rate. These changes accompanied decreases in the total level and function of the Kv7.2/KCNQ2 and Kv7.3/KCNQ3 potassium channels and the density of these channels in the enlengthened axon initial segment. Importantly, the Kv7 agonist, retigabine, rescued neuronal excitability, juvenile seizure-related death, and hyperactivity in Ank2-cKO mice. These results suggest that Ank2 regulates neuronal excitability by regulating the length of and Kv7 density in the AIS and that Kv7 channelopathy is involved in Ank2-related brain dysfunctions.

A temporal map of maternal immune activation-induced changes reveals a shift in neurodevelopmental timing and perturbed cortical development in mice

Project description:Background: Environmental insults that activate the maternal immune system are potent primers of developmental neuropathology and maternal immune activation (MIA) has emerged as a risk factor for neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. Animal models of MIA provide an opportunity to identify molecular pathways that initiate disease processes and lead to neuropathology and behavioral deficits in offspring. MIA-induced behaviors are accompanied by anatomical and neurochemical alterations in adult offspring that parallel those seen in affected human populations. Methods: We performed transcriptional profiling and neuroanatomical characterization in a time course across mouse embryonic cortical development, following MIA via single injection of the viral mimic polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (polyI:C) at E12.5. Transcriptional changes identified in the cortex of MIA offspring at E17.5 were validated and mapped to cortical neuroanatomy and cell types via protein analysis and immunohistochemistry. Results: MIA induced strong transcriptomic signatures, including induction of genes associated with hypoxia, immune signaling, and angiogenesis. The acute response identified 6h after the MIA insult was followed by changes in proliferation, neuronal and glial differentiation, and cortical lamination that emerged at E14.5 and peaked at E17.5. Decreased numbers of proliferative cell types in germinal zones and alterations in neuronal and glial cell types across cortical lamina were identified in the MIA-exposed cortex. Conclusions: MIA-induced transcriptomic signatures in fetal offspring overlap significantly with perturbations identified in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), and provide novel insights into alterations in molecular and developmental timing processes linking MIA and neuropathology, potentially revealing new targets for development of novel approaches for earlier diagnosis and treatment of these disorders.
