UBE3A reinstatement restores behavior and proteome in an Angelman syndrome mouse model of imprinting defects

ABSTRACT: Angelman Syndrome (AS) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder with only symptomatic treatment currently available. Besides mutations within the UBE3A gene, AS is caused by deletions, imprinting center defects (mICD) or uniparental disomy of chromosome 15 (UPD). Current mouse models are Ube3a-centric and do not address expression changes of other 15q11-q13 genes on AS pathophysiology. Here, we studied a mouse line that harbors a mutation affecting the AS-PWS imprinting center, hence modeling mICD/UPD AS subtypes. mICD mice showed significant reduction in UBE3A protein, bi-allelic expression of Ube3a-ATS and Mkrn3-Snord115 gene cluster, leading to robust AS behavioral deficits and proteome alterations similar to Ube3aKO mice. Genetic UBE3A overexpression in mICD mice, mimicking therapeutic strategies that effectively activate the biallelic silenced Ube3a gene, resulted in a complete rescue of all behavioral and proteome alterations. Subsequently, treatment with an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) to directly activate the biallelic silenced Ube3a gene in mICD mice also resulted in efficient reinstatement of UBE3A, alongside a partial rescue of behavioral phenotypes. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that UBE3A loss is the primary factor underlying AS phenotypes in the mICD/UPD mouse model, and also corroborate that UBE3A reinstatement is an attractive therapeutic strategy for mICD/UPD AS individuals.

Proteomic analysis of Angelman mouse models

Project description:Angelman syndrome (AS) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder caused by the loss of neuronal E3 ligase UBE3A. Restoring UBE3A levels is a potential disease-modifying therapy for AS and has recently entered clinical trials. There is paucity of data regarding the molecular changes downstream of UBE3A, hampering elucidation of disease therapeutics and biomarkers. Notably, UBE3A plays an important role in the nucleus but its targets have yet to be elucidated. Using proteomics, we assessed changes during postnatal cortical development in an AS mouse model. Pathway analysis revealed dysregulation of proteasomal and tRNA synthetase pathways at all postnatal brain developmental stages, while synaptic proteins were altered in adults. We confirmed pathway alterations in an adult AS rat model across multiple brain regions and highlighted region-specific differences. The top hits were altered in human AS patient neurons, supporting disease translation. UBE3A reinstatement in AS mice resulted in near complete and partial rescue of the proteome alterations in adolescence and adults respectively, supporting the notion that early restoration of UBE3A expression provides is a promising therapeutic option. We show that Transketolase (TKT), one of the most abundantly altered proteins, is a direct UBE3A substrate and is elevated in the neuronal nucleus of rat brains and human iPSC derived neurons. Taken together, our study provides a comprehensive map of UBE3A driven changes in AS across development and species, and corroborates UBE3A reinstatement as a viable therapeutic option.

HAP1 is an in vivo UBE3A Target that Augments Autophagy in a Mouse Model of Angelman Syndrome

Project description:Angelman syndrome (AS) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder caused by maternal mutation and paternal imprinting of the gene encoding UBE3A, an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Although several potential target proteins of UBE3A have been reported, how these proteins regulate neuronal development remains unclear. We performed a large-scale quantitative proteomic analysis using stable-isotope labeling of amino acids in mammals (SILAM) on mice with maternal Ube3a mutation.

Ube3a-ATS characterization with strand-speicific microarray

Project description:This strand-specific array is performed to characterize expression features of Ube3a-ATS, including its imprinting status, its exon-intron structure, its transcriptional initiation and termination site as well as its polyadenylation status. The array contains reverse-complementary probes detecting transcripts from both strands and therefore we are able to pick up signal from both Ube3a sense and antisense. By comparing wild-type with various mutants, and total RNA with polyA RNA, we concluded that Ube3a-ATS is a paternally imprinted gene covering the whole gene body of Ube3a in the antisense orientation. It does not have an obvious exon-intron structure. Its transcription initiates at Snrpn major promoter and terminates ~40kb upstream of Ube3a transcriptional start site. Total RNA from Snrpn-Ube3a maternal deletion mutant (del s-u/+), its wild-type littermate, paternal deletion mutant and its wildtype littermate were analyzed. Mutant mice with S-U maternal deletion and Snrpn promoter paternal deleiton which leads to depletion of Ube3a-ATS (del s-u/0.9 and del s-u/4.8) were also analyzed. polyA RNA was purified from the sample 2 and sample 4. All eight samples were hybridized to the custom 8X60k Agilent CGH array.

Loss of UBE3A impacts both neuronal and non-neuronal cells in human cerebral organoids.

Project description:Angelman syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by (epi)genetic lesions of maternal UBE3A. Research has focused largely on the role of UBE3A in neurons due to its imprinting in that cell type. Yet, evidence suggests there may be broader neurodevelopmental impacts of UBE3A dysregulation. Human cerebral organoids can investigate these understudied aspects of UBE3A as they recapitulate diverse cell types of the developing human brain. We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing on organoids to reveal the effects of UBE3A disruption on cell type-specific transcriptomic alterations and compositions. In the absence of UBE3A, progenitor proliferation and structures were disrupted while organoid composition shifted away from proliferative cell types. We observed impacts on non-neuronal cells including choroid plexus enrichment. Furthermore, EMX1+ cortical progenitors were negatively impacted, disrupting corticogenesis, and potentially delaying neuron maturation. This work reveals novel impacts of UBE3A on understudied cell types and related neurodevelopmental processes and elucidates potential new therapeutic targets.

RNA-Seq of B6/CAST crosses in major forebrain cell types (single cell)

Project description:In mammalian genomes a subset of genes is regulated by genomic imprinting resulting in silencing of one parental allele. Imprinting is essential for cerebral cortex development but prevalence and functional impact in individual cells is unclear. Here we determined allelic expression in cortical cell types and established a quantitative platform to interrogate imprinting in single cells. We created cells with uniparental disomy (UPD) containing either two copies of the maternal or paternal chromosome hence imprinted genes will be twofold overexpressed or not expressed. By genetic labeling of UPD we determined cellular phenotypes and transcriptional responses to deregulated imprinted gene expression at unprecedented single cell resolution. We discovered an unexpected degree of cell type specificity and a novel function of imprinting in the regulation of cortical astrocyte survival. More generally our results suggest functional relevance of imprinted gene expression in glial astrocyte lineage and thus for generating cortical cell type diversity.
