Satb2 gene dosage in cortical projection neurons impacts neuronal maturation and somatosensory processing [CUT&RUN]

ABSTRACT: SATB2 Associated Syndrome (SAS) is characterized by severe intellectual deficiency (ID) with limited or absence of speech, behavioral problems, and craniofacial abnormalities. It is caused by de novo heterozygote mutations in the Special AT-rich sequence-Binding Protein 2 (SATB2) gene, which encodes a DNA-binding protein involved in chromatin remodeling. In the brain, SATB2 expression is mostly restricted to the projection neurons in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Much of what is known about SATB2 function in brain development comes from studies using homozygous loss-of-function mutant mice. Nonetheless, the heterozygous loss of SATB2 negatively impacts brain development, as identified in SAS patients. Here, we report a dose-dependent requirement for Satb2 in regulating subtype specification for layer 5 subcerebral and all intra-telencephalic neurons, as a modulator of gene expression, through its binding to gene promoters and enhancers of many ID genes. Consequently, Satb2 haploinsufficiency in humans, and in mice as we show here, results in aberrations of cortical projection axons that impact mouse sensory behavior including discriminative touch and vocalization. Our findings uncover fundamental mechanisms underlying the etiology of SAS.

Downstream targeted genes of Satb2 regulate synaptic formation and axonogenesis in developing cerebral cortex [RNA-seq]

Project description:Special AT-rich sequencebinding protein 2 (SATB2) is essential for the development of cerebral cortex and key molecular node for the establishment of proper neural circuitry and function. Mutations in SATB2 gene lead to SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS), which is characterized by abnormal development of skeleton and central nervus system. We generated Satb2 knockout mouse model through CRISPR-Cas9 technology and performed RNA-seq and ChIP-seq of embryonic cerebral cortex. We conducted RT-qPCR, western blot, immunofluorescence staining, luciferase reporter assay and behavioral analysis for experimental verification.

ChIP-seq for Satb2 in E15 cortex

Project description:The goal of the study was to identify the binding site of SATB2 in wild-ype cortex by performing ChIP-seq using SATB2 antibody. E15 cortical tissues were dissected, lysed and fixed. Chromatin was prepared by sonication. Sequences bound by SATB2 protein was precipitated using a SATB2 antibody. Sequencing was performed on Illumina Genome Analyzer II. SATB2 binding peaks were called using MACS. ChIP for Satb2, followed by sequencing on Illumina Genome Analyzer II platform

Positive emotion-specific changes in gene expression profile in brain and peripheral tissues of the tickled rats

Project description:The changes of mRNA expression levels were analyzed in striatum, salivary glands , and peripheral leukocyte of the juvenile rat stimulated by tickling for 4 weeks as a positive stimulation. Keywords: Stress response Twenty-one-day-old male Wistar ratsM-cM-^@M-^@after weaning were used. All rats were separately maintained in the standard cages which were shielded with screens not to see each other during the study. The rats were then subjected to the following three conditions; tickling, light touch, and no stimulus. The stimulation was given to the rats once every weekday (Monday to Friday) for 4 weeks. Tickling stimulation was used as a mimic of the rough-and-tumble play of rats which induced a positive emotional response [50 kHz ultrasonic vocalization (USV)]. Light touch was a discriminative stimulation to tickling, and neither the rat with light touch nor with no stimulus showed such a response in general. Gene expression changes in striatum, salivary glands, and peripheral leukocyte of the tickled rats were comprehensively analyzed comparing with light touched and no stimulated rats using microarray techniques. Biological replicates: 4 animals each condition. One replicate per array.

Gene expression signatures of SATB2-defficient vs wild-type adult neocortex

Project description:During CNS development, the nuclear protein SATB2 is expressed in superficial cortical layers and determines projection neuron identity. In the adult CNS, SATB2 is expressed in pyramidal neurons of all cortical layers and is a regulator of synaptic plasticity and long-term memory. Common variation in SATB2 locus confers risk of schizophrenia whereas rare, de novo structural and single nucleotide variants cause severe intellectual disability and absent or limited speech. To which extent symptoms in SATB2-related human pathologies depend on developmental or adult functions of the protein remains to be established. To characterize differences in SATB2 molecular function in developing vs adult neocortex, we compared SATB2 protein interactomes and SATB2-driven gene expression programs at the two ontogenetic stages by co-IP mass spectrometry and RNAseq analyses, respectively. Our results demonstrated that 1) SATB2 interacts with different protein networks at the two ontogenetic stages, with a switch from transcriptional repression towards organization of chromatin structure and 2) SATB2 determines differential transcriptional programs in neonatal vs adult cortex.

Functional evidence for early origin of tactile acuity in the vertebrate somatosensory system

Project description:Mammals and reptiles possess a sophisticated somatosensory system for precise tactile discrimination via mechanosensory end-organs, such as Meissner and Pacinian corpuscles, and others. These structures detect sustained pressure, velocity, and vibrations, thereby facilitating nuanced environmental interactions. Whether the ancestral anamniotic somatosensory system, typically lacking such structures, provides comparable tactile discrimination, is unknown. Here, we investigate the Schnauzenorgan, a specialized foraging chin appendage in Mormyrid fish Gnathonemus petersii and show that it detects touch via functionally distinct myelinated mechanosensory afferents. Although these afferents terminate in the skin as seemingly free nerve endings, they detect sustained pressure, transient touch, velocity, low- and high-frequency vibrations. Thus, despite lacking typical end-organs, the Schnauzenorgan enables tactile discrimination rivaling that of amniotic extremities. Our findings reveal a previously unrecognized functional complexity in the ancestral piscine somatosensory system, suggesting that the nuanced mechanosensory capacity of amniotes was inherited from anamniote predecessors.
