The placental effects of trisomy for human chromosome 21 orthologs in four mouse models of Down syndrome

ABSTRACT: Down syndrome (DS) is caused by trisomy for human chromosome 21 (Hsa21) and is associated with atypical neurodevelopment that begins prenatally. The developing human fetus receives nutritional support and gas exchange from the placenta, and normal placental function is essential for proper development. Placentas that sustain fetuses with trisomy 21 contain trisomic cells, but little is known about which trisomic genes are overexpressed in the placenta or their downstream molecular, cellular, and functional effects. Mouse models of DS are useful in vivo systems for studying the prenatal effects of trisomy. This study examined the placental transcriptome in four mouse models of DS: Dp(16)1/Yey, Ts65Dn, Ts66Yah, and Ts1Cje. Despite modest overlap of trisomy-associated gene dysregulation among these four models, pathway enrichment analyses identified alterations in extracellular matrix pathways in all four models and notable upregulation of immune system pathways in Dp(16)1/Yey and Ts66Yah.

Chr21 protein-protein interactions: enrichment in proteins involved in intellectual disability, autism and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease

Project description:Down syndrome (DS) is caused by human chromosome 21 (HSA21) trisomy. It is characterized by a poorly understood intellectual disability (ID). We studied two mouse models of DS, one with an extra copy of the Dyrk1A gene (189N3) and the other with an extra copy of the mouse Chr16 syntenic region (Dp(16)1Yey). RNA-seq analysis of the transcripts deregulated in the embryonic hippocampus revealed an enrichment in genes associated with chromatin for the 189N3 model and synapses for the Dp(16)1Yey model

Correction of cognitive deficits in mouse models of Down syndrome by pharmacological inhibitor of DYRK1A

Project description:Down Syndrome (DS) results from the trisomy of human chromosome 21 (HSA21). It is still the most frequent intellectual disability, affecting 1 newborn per 700 births. Among candidate genes explaining intellectual disabilities seen in DS patients, the dual specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation regulated kinase 1A, DYRK1A, is located in the DS critical region of chromosome 21. DYRK1A has become a major screening target for the development of selective and potent pharmacological inhibitors. We here investigated the effects of a relatively selective DYRK1A inhibitor, Leucettine 41 (hereafter L41) in three different trisomic mouse models with increasing genetic complexity, Tg(Dyrk1a), Ts65Dn and Dp1Yey. Leucettines are derived from the marine sponge alkaloid Leucettamine B.

Effects of Dyrk1a and Kcnj6 normalization on the hippocampal transcriptome in the Dp(16)1/Yey mouse model of Down syndrome

Project description:Down syndrome (DS), the most common human chromosomal disorder, is caused by trisomy 21. Recent studies show that the trisomic genes Dyrk1a and Kcnj6 play critical causative roles in DS cognitive deficits. Interestingly, an unexpected lack of improvement of hippocampal-dependent learning and memory deficits was observed when both Dyrk1a and Kcnj6 were normalized to diploidy in the DS mouse model, Dp(16)1/Yey (Dp16). In this study, we explored the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon by using whole genome-wide hippocampal transcriptome analysis. In total, 142, 142, and 112 genes were found significantly differentially expressed in the Dp16, Dp16/Dyrk1aKO (Dyrk1a normalized) and Dp16;Dyrk1aKO/Kcnj6KO (Both Dyrk1a and Kcnj6 normalized) hippocampus, respectively, compared with the WT hippocampus. The majority of the common significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were trisomic genes. Dyrk1a and Kcnj6 normalization mainly altered the expression of diploid genes. Normalizing Dyrk1a in the Dp16 hippocampus caused an overall downregulation of genes, whereas further Kcnj6 normalization caused an overall upregulation of genes. Both further rescuing effects and neutralizing effects were observed in Kcnj6 and Dyrk1a double-normalized mice compared with mice with Dyrk1a normalization alone.

Rescue of Down syndrome related deficits by Brwd1 copy number restoration

Project description:Trisomy 21 [Down syndrome/DS] is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability worldwide. Despite much progress in the genetic characterization of DS, the genes encoded from chromosome 21 (HSA21) that directly contribute to intellectual disability remain incompletely understood. Here, we found that a largely uncharacterized chromatin effector protein, BRWD1, is triplicated in DS neurons and brain of trisomic mice. We demonstrated that selective copy number restoration of Brwd1 in DS animals rescues transcriptional, synaptic and cognitive deficits. We showed that Brwd1 binds to the neuronal BAF chromatin remodeling complex, and that such interactions promote BAF’s genomic mistargeting in DS-like brain. Brwd1 renormalization in trisomic animals rescues these aberrant chromatin events. These findings thus establish BRWD1 as a critical epigenomic mediator of DS related phenotypes.

Rescuing over-activated microglia by acetaminophen treatment restores cognitive performance in the Dp(16) mouse model of Down Syndrome.

Project description:Microglia are the resident immune cells of the brain and have been implicated in mechanisms essential for cognitive functions. Down syndrome (DS), the most frequent cause of genetic intellectual disability, is caused by the presence of a supernumerary chromosome 21, which contains genes essential for the function of the immune system. Here, we investigated the presence of microglial alterations and their implication for cognitive impairment in the Dp(16) mouse model of DS. In the hippocampus of Dp(16) mice and individuals with DS, we found microglial morphology indicative of an activated state. Accordingly, we found increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and altered interferon signaling in Dp(16) mice. In addition, Dp(16) mice showed decreased dendritic spine density and cognitive deficits. Remarkably, depletion of defective microglia by PLX3397 treatment or rescue of the microglia activated state by the commonly used anti-inflammatory drug acetaminophen fully rescued dendritic-spine density and cognitive deficits in Dp(16) mice. Our data suggest an involvement of microglia in the cognitive impairment of DS animals and identify a new therapeutic approach for the potential rescue of cognitive disabilities in individuals with DS.

Trans-effects of sub-chromosomal duplications on DNA methylation patterns in mouse models of Down syndrome: whole genome bisulfite sequencing of cerebral samples from Dp(10)1Yey and Dp(16)1Yey mouse models.

Project description:Background: Trisomy 21 causes Down syndrome (DS), but the mechanisms by which the extra chromosome leads to deficient intellectual and immune function are not well understood. Results: Here, we profile CpG methylation in DS and control cerebral and cerebellar cortex of adults and cerebrum of fetuses. We purify neuronal and non-neuronal nuclei and T-lymphocytes and find biologically relevant genes with DS-specific methylation (DS-DM) in brain cells. Some genes show brain-specific DS-DM, while others show stronger DS-DM in T cells. Both 5-methyl-cytosine and 5-hydroxy-methyl-cytosine contribute to the DS-DM. Thirty percent of genes with DS-DM in adult brain cells also show DS-DM in fetal brains, indicating early onset of these epigenetic changes, and we find early maturation of methylation patterns in DS brain and lymphocytes. Some, but not all, of the DS-DM genes show differential expression. DS-DM preferentially affected CpGs in or near specific transcription factor binding sites, implicating a mechanism involving altered transcription factor binding. Methyl-seq of brain DNA from mouse models with sub-chromosomal duplications mimicking DS reveals partial but significant overlaps with human DS-DM and shows that multiple chromosome 21 genes contribute to the downstream epigenetic effects. Conclusions: These data point to novel biological mechanisms in DS and have general implications for trans effects of chromosomal duplications and aneuploidies on epigenetic patterning. Examination of methylation changes in two mouse models of Down syndrome with sub-chromosomal duplications, Dp(10)1Yey and Dp(16)1Yey, compared to one littermate wild type mouse using whole genome bisulfite sequencing.

Biomarkers for Down Syndrome screening in murine fetal liver and placenta

Project description:The Ts1Cje mouse strain (Sago, 1998) contains a segmental trisomy of mouse chromosome 16 orthologous to the region of human chromosome 21 commonly associated with Down Syndrome. In this study, fetuses were obtained from wildtype mothers bred with either wildtype or Ts1Cje males. Gene expression profiles in fetal liver and placenta of wildtype and Ts1Cje fetuses were compared, to identify potential markers for application in human prenatal DS screening.

Dp(10)2Yey mouse model of Down syndrome exhibits aberrant cognition, hippocampal-prefrontal neural dynamics and cytoarchitecture

Project description:The Dp(10)2Yey mouse carries a ~2.3 Mb intra-chromosomal duplication of mouse chromosome 10 (Mmu10) that makes it an essential model for aspects of Down syndrome (DS, trisomy 21). Specifically, these animals carry extra copies of Mmu10 genes that are homologous to those on human chromosome 21 (Hsa21). Here, we report spatial memory impairment and anxiety-like behaviour in this model alongside altered neural activity in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampus (HPC). Specifically, Dp(10)2Yey DS mice showed impaired spatial alternation associated with increased ripple activity in mPFC during the period of memory consolidation, and reduced mobility in a novel environment accompanied by reduced theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling in HPC. Finally, we found alterations in the number of interneuron subtypes in mPFC and HPC that may contribute to the observed phenotypes and highlight potential approaches to ameliorate the effects of human trisomy 21.

Dissection of a Down syndrome-associated trisomy to separate the gene dosage-dependent and -independent effects of an extra chromosome

Project description:Trisomy is a form of aneuploidy associated with embryonic and postnatal abnormalities in mammals. Understanding the underlying mechanisms involved in mutant phenotypes is broadly important and may lead to new strategies to treat clinical manifestations in individuals with trisomies, such as trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). While increased gene dosage effects due to a trisomy may account for the mutant phenotypes, there is also the possibility that phenotypic consequences of a trisomy can arise because of the presence of a freely segregating extra chromosome with its own centromere, i.e., a ‘free trisomy’ independent of gene dosage effects. Presently, there are no reports of attempts to functionally separate these two types of effects. To fill this gap, here we describe a strategy that employed two new mouse models of Down syndrome, Ts65Dn;Df(17)2Yey/+ and Dp(16)1Yey/Df(16)8Yey. Both models carry triplications of the same 103 human chromosome 21 gene orthologs; however, only Ts65Dn;Df(17)2Yey/+ mice carry a free trisomy. Comparative analysis of these two models revealed the gene dosage-independent effect of an extra chromosome at the phenotypic level for the first time, as reflected by impairments of Ts65Dn;Df(17)2Yey/+ males in T-maze tests when compared with Dp(16)1Yey/Df(16)8Yey males. Results from the transcriptomic analysis suggest the extra chromosome may play a major role in trisomy-associated expression alterations of disomic genes beyond gene dosage effects. This model system can now be used to deepen our mechanistic understanding of this common human aneuploidy and obtain new insights into the effects of free trisomies in other human diseases such as cancers.
