Impaired T3 transport and action underlies the pathophisiology of the Allan-Herdon-Dudley syndrome

ABSTRACT: Patients with mutations in the thyroid hormone (TH) cell transporter MCT8 gene develop severe neuropsychomotor retardation known as the Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS). It is assumed that this is caused by a reduction in TH signaling in the developing brain during both intrauterine and postnatal developmental stages, and treatment remains understandably challenging. Given species differences in brain TH transporters and the limitations of studies in mice, we generated cerebral organoids (COs) using human iPSCs from MCT8-deficient patients. We found that MCT8-deficient COs exhibit (i) alterations in early neurodevelopment, resulting in smaller neural rosettes with thinner cortical units, (ii) impaired T3 transport in developing neural cells, as assessed through deiodinase-3-mediated T3 catabolism, (iii) reduced expression of genes involved in cerebral cortex development, and (iv) reduced T3-inducibility of TH-regulated genes. In contrast, the TH-analogs 3,5-diiodothyropropionic acid and 3,3’,5-triiodothyroacetic acid triggered normal responses (induction/repression of T3-responsive genes) in MCT8-deficient COs, constituting a proof-of-concept that lack of T3 transport underlies the pathophysiology of AHDS, and demonstrating the clinical potential for TH analogues to be used in treating AHDS patients. MCT8-deficient COs represent a species-specific relevant preclinical model that can be utilized to screen drugs with potential benefits as personalized therapeutics for AHDS patients.

Brain gene expression in systemic hypothyroidism and in mouse models of MCT8 deficiency: The Mct8-Oatp1c1-Dio2 triad.

Project description:The monocarboxylate transporter 8 (Mct8) protein is a primary T4 and T3 (TH) transporter. Mutations of the MCT8-encoding, SLC16A2 gene alters thyroid function and thyroid hormone metabolism, and severely impairs neurodevelopment (Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome, AHDS). Mct8-deficient mice manifest thyroid alterations but lack neurological signs. It is thought that Mct8 deficiency in mice is compensated by T4 transport through the Slco1c1-encoded organic anion transporter polypeptide 1c1 (Oatp1c1). This allows local brain generation of sufficient T3 by the Dio2-encoded type 2 deiodinase (D2). The Slc16a2/Slco1c1 (MO) and Slc16a2/Dio2 (MD) double knock out mice lacking T4 and T3 transport, or T3 transport and T4 deiodination, would be more approriate models of AHDS. The goal of this work was to compare the cerebral hypothyroidism of systemic hypothyroidism (SH) caused by thyroid gland blockade with that present in the double KOs.

Proteome analysis of thyroid hormone transporter Mct8/Oatp1c1 deficient mice reveals novel dysregulated target molecules involved in locomotor function

Project description:Thyroid hormone (TH) transporter MCT8 deficiency causes severe locomotor disabilities likely due to insufficient TH transport across brain barriers and, consequently, compromised neural TH action. As an established animal model for this disease Mct8/Oatp1c1 double knockout (DKO) mice exhibit strong central TH deprivation, locomotor impairments and similar histo-morphological features as seen in MCT8 patients. The pathways that cause these neuro-motor symptoms are poorly understood. Here, we performed proteome analysis of brain sections comprising cortical and striatal areas of 21-day-old WT and DKO mice. We detected over 2900 proteins by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, 67 of which were significantly different between the genotypes. Comparison of the proteomic and published RNA-sequencing data showed a significant overlap between alterations in both datasets. In line with previous observations, DKO animals exhibited decreased myelin-associated protein expression and altered protein levels of well-established neuronal TH regulated targets. As one intriguing new candidate, we unraveled and confirmed reduced protein and mRNA expression of Pde10a, a striatal enzyme critically involved in dopamine receptor signaling, in DKO mice. As altered PDE10A activities are linked to dystonia, reduced basal ganglia PDE10A expression may represent a key pathogenic pathway underlying human MCT8 deficiency.

Regulation of Gene Expression by Thyroid Hormone in Cultured Astrocytes: Transcriptional Targets and Factors Influencing the Genomic Response

Project description:Astrocytes mediate the action of thyroid hormone in the brain on other neural cells through the production of the active hormone triiodothyronine (T3) from its precursor thyroxine (T4). T3 has also many effects on the astrocytes in vivo and in culture, but whether these actions are directly mediated by transcriptional regulation is not clear. In this work, we have analyzed the genomic response to T3 of cultured astrocytes isolated from the postnatal mouse cerebral cortex, using RNA sequencing. Cultured astrocytes express relevant genes of thyroid hormone metabolism and action encoding type 2 deiodinase (Dio2), Mct8 transporter (Slc16a2), T3 receptors (Thra1 and Thrb), and nuclear corepressor (Ncor1) and coactivator (Ncoa1). T3 changed the expression of 668 genes (4.5% of expressed genes), of which 117 genes (0.8% of expressed genes) were primary, transcriptional responses. The Wnt and Notch pathways were down-regulated at the post-transcriptional level. Comparison with the effect of T3 on astrocyte-enriched genes in mixed cerebrocortical cultures isolated from fetal cortex revealed that the response to T3 is influenced by the degree of astrocyte maturation, and that in agreement with its physiological effects, T3 promotes the transition between the fetal and adult patterns of gene expression.

NGLY1 deficiency perturbs cerebral development by affecting stress tolerability and neural stem cell signaling during neurogenesis

Project description:Although NGLY1 deficiency has been discovered as a result of mutations in the NGLY1 gene, cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the neurological abnormalities due to NGLY1 malfunction in the brain remain mostly unknown. Using human cerebral organoid (CO) models and systems biology techniques, we uncovered NGLY1 deficiencyinduced alterations at the early stage of cerebral development. Despite the similar vitality and cellular pluripotency of NGLY1-functional and -deficient WA09 hESCs, COs developed from the NGLY1-deficient hESCs had the defective formation of SATB2+ upper-layer neurons and attenuation of STAT3 and HES1 signaling critical for sustaining radial glia. The NGLY1-deficient CO cells, compared with the NGLY1-functional ones, also presented higher vulnerability to multiple stressors. Bulk and single-cell analysis of transcriptomes revealed that NGLY1-deficient COs showed a propensity for premature neuronal differentiation, accompanied by significant downregulation of secretory and transcription factors, including TTR, IGFBP2, and ID4. Supplementing recombinant TTR to NGLY1-deficient CO cells reduced their susceptibility to proteasome inhibition. Ectopic expression of NGLY1 led to IGFBP2 and ID4 upregulation in CO cells developed from NGLY-deficient patientderived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Moreover, ID4 expression, STAT3 signaling, and proliferation were enhanced by treatment of recombinant IGFBP2 in CO cells developed from the NGLY1-deficient WA09 hESCs and patient-derived iPSCs. Our findings indicate that NGLY1 could be critical for regulating various stress responses and maintaining neural stem cells (NSCs) in the developing cerebrum. In patients, NGLY1 deficiencyassociated neurological abnormalities, including microcephaly, may be a consequence of aberrations in NSC signaling sustained by NGLY1.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of treated and untreated mortical neurons GDE

Project description:Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is associated with disruption of cerebral blood flow leading to localized brain hypoxia. Thyroid hormone (TH) treatment, when administered shortly after injury, has been shown to promote neural protection in rodent TBI models. The mechanism of TH protection, however, is not established. We used mouse primary cortical neurons to investigate the effectiveness and mechanism of T3-promoted cell survival after exposure to hypoxic injury. Cultured primary cortical neurons were exposed to hypoxia (0.2% oxygen) for 7 hours, in either the presence or absence of T3 (5 nM). T3 treatment enhanced DNA 5-hydroxymethylcytosin (5-hmc) levels and attenuated the hypoxia-induced increase in DNA 5-methylcytosin (5-mc). In the presence of T3, mRNA expression of Tet family genes was increased and DNA methyltransferases, (Dnmt) 3a and Dnmt3b, were downregulated, compared to conditions in the absence of T3. These T3-induced changes decreased hypoxia-induced DNA de novo methylation, which reduced hypoxia-induced neuronal damage and apoptosis. We utilized RNA-seq to characterize T3-regulated genes in cortical neurons under hypoxic conditions and identified 22 genes that were upregulated and 15 genes that were downregulated. Krupple-like factor 9 (KLF9), a multifunctional transcription factor that plays a key role in CNS development, was highly upregulated by T3 treatment in hypoxic conditions. Knockdown of the KLF9 gene resulted in early apoptosis and abolished the beneficial role of T3 in neuronal survival. KLF9 mediates, in part, the neuronal protective role of T3. T3 treatment reduces hypoxic damage and acts through pathways that reduce DNA methylation and apoptosis.

Single-cell sequencing of cerebral organoids with familial Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mutation in PSEN1 and non-demented control

Project description:We set up a 3D model based on iPSCs derived from patients with familial forms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and healthy non-demented control. We created cerebral organoids (COs), verified their ability to mimic AD in vitro, and used it to explore early events and the progression of AD pathogenesis. Our data reveal that despite similar expression of cell-type-specific genes during CO maturation in vitro, AD-iPSCs derived COs show limited tissue patterning and altered cellular development. These findings complement unique single-cell sequencing data of AD-iPSCs derived COs confirming this observation and uncovering that a sub-set of neurons in AD-iPSCs likely differentiates prematurely while at the same time retaining the expression of progenitor marker PAX6.

Triiodothyronine (T3) response in liver of FGF21 knockout mice

Project description:Thyroid hormone (TH) influences metabolic pathways by binding to specific receptors (TRs), which are conditional transcription factors. T3 works through TRs to induce fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 21, a peptide hormone that is usually induced in fasting and influences lipid and carbohydrate metabolism via local hepatic and systemic endocrine effects. While administered TH and FGF21 display overlapping actions, including reductions in serum lipids, current models suggest that these hormones act independently in vivo. Here, we examined mechanisms of TH regulation of FGF21 expression and tested the possibility that FGF21 is required for induction of hepatic TH-responsive genes. We confirm that active TH (T3) and the TRβ selective thyromimetic GC-1 increase FGF21 transcript and peptide levels in mouse liver and that this effect requires TRβ. T3 also induces FGF21 in cultured hepatocytes and this effect involves direct actions of TRβ1, which binds a TRE within intron 2 of FGF21. Gene expression profiles in wild type and FGF21 knockout mice are highly similar indicating that FGF21 is dispensable for the majority of hepatic T3 gene responses. A small subset of genes displays diminished T3 response in the absence of FGF21. However, most of these are not obviously involved in T3-dependent hepatic lipid and carbohydrate metabolic processes. Accordingly, T3-dependent effects upon serum lipids are maintained in the FGF21-/- background. Our findings suggest that T3 regulates genes involved in classical hepatic metabolic responses independently of FGF21.

Rewiring of liver diurnal transcriptome rhythms by triiodothyronine (T3) supplementation

Project description:Diurnal (i.e., 24-hour) physiological rhythms depend on transcriptional programs controlled by a set of circadian clock genes/proteins. Systemic factors like humoral and neuronal signals, oscillations in body temperature, and food intake align physiological circadian rhythms with external time. Thyroid hormones (THs) are major regulators of circadian clock target processes such as energy metabolism, but little is known about how fluctuations in TH levels affect the circadian coordination of tissue physiology. In this study, a high triiodothyronine (T3) state was induced in mice by supplementing T3 in the drinking water, which affected body temperature, and oxygen consumption in a time-of-day dependent manner. 24-hour transcriptome profiling of liver tissue identified 37 robustly and time independently T3 associated transcripts as potential TH state markers in the liver. Such genes participated in xenobiotic transport, lipid and xenobiotic metabolism. We also identified 10 – 15 % of the liver transcriptome as rhythmic in control and T3 groups, but only 4 % of the liver transcriptome (1,033 genes) were rhythmic across both conditions – amongst these several core clock genes. In-depth rhythm analyses showed that most changes in transcript rhythms were related to mesor (50%), followed by amplitude (10%), and phase (10%). Gene set enrichment analysis revealed TH state dependent reorganization of metabolic processes such as lipid and glucose metabolism. At high T3 levels, we observed weakening or loss of rhythmicity for transcripts associated with glucose and fatty acid metabolism, suggesting increased hepatic energy turnover. In sum, we provide evidence that tonic changes in T3 levels restructure the diurnal liver metabolic transcriptome independent of local molecular circadian clocks.
