Global transcriptional changes across multiple isogenic C9orf72 Patient iPSC-derived neurons

ABSTRACT: Hexanucleotide repeat expansions in C9orf72 are the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal degeneration (FTD), yet the mechanisms underlying selective neuronal vulnerability remain unclear. A major challenge in identifying consistent transcriptomic changes across C9orf72 patient-derived lines has been due to heterogeneous differentiations, lack of isogenic controls and low sequencing depth. Here, we generated homogeneous cortical neurons (iCNs) from multiple isogenic C9orf72 patient iPSCs pairs and performed deep RNA sequencing. We identified robust and reproducible gene expression and splicing alterations in pathways related to cytoskeletal organization, extracellular matrix adhesion and synaptic signaling. Notably, we observed exon 30 skipping in FLNB, leading to the loss of its hinge domain. This was accompanied by altered FLNB localization, disrupted actin crosslinking and impaired mechano-transduction pathway. These findings reveal convergent transcriptomic and functional disruptions across multiple isogenic C9orf72 patient derived iCNs and offer new insights into ALS/FTD pathogenesis.

Targeted degradation of sense and antisense C9orf72 RNA foci as therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (Multiplex Analysis of PolyA-linked Sequences)

Project description:Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to identify a C9-ALS/FTD specific genomic profile in fibroblast lines that is distinct from sporadic ALS without C9orf72 expansion and non-neurologic control cells. The study will then evaluate the effect on this identified profile of ASO treatment targeting the sense strand RNA transcript of the C9orf72 gene. Methods: Expression profiling was performed on RNAs from fibroblasts of four C9orf72 patients, four control individuals and four sporadic ALS patients using Multiplex Analysis of PolyA-linked Sequences method. Results: Hierarchical clustering of expression values for all genes showed that the four C9orf72 patient lines had an expression profile distinct from control and sporadic ALS lines. Statistical comparison of expression values between the four C9orf72 lines and the four control lines revealed that 122 genes were upregulated (defined by a False Discovery Rate FDR<0.05) and 34 genes were downregulated (defined by a False Discovery Rate FDR <0.05) in C9orf72 patient fibroblasts. Conclusions: A genome wide RNA signature can be defined in fibroblasts with C9orf72 expansion. ASO-mediated reduction of C9orf72 RNA levels in fibroblasts with the hexanucleotide expansion efficiently reduced accumulation of GGGGCC RNA foci. This did not, however, generate a reversal of the C9orf72 RNA profile. Use of Multiplex Analysis of PolyA-linked Sequences to identify expression changes in fibroblasts from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia patients harboring an hexanucleotide expansion in the C9orf72 gene.

A high-fidelity CRISPR-Cas13 system improves abnormalities associated with C9ORF72-linked ALS/FTD

Project description:An abnormal expansion of a GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat in the C9ORF72 gene is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), two debilitating neurodegenerative disorders driven in part by gain-of-function mechanisms involving transcribed forms of the repeat expansion. By utilizing a Cas13 variant with reduced collateral effects, we developed a high-fidelity RNA-targeting CRISPR-based system for C9ORF72-linked ALS/FTD. When delivered to the brain of a transgenic rodent model, this Cas13-based platform effectively curbed the expression of the GGGGCC repeat-containing RNA without affecting normal C9ORF72 levels, which in turn decreased the formation of RNA foci and reversed transcriptional deficits. This high-fidelity Cas13 variant possessed improved transcriptome-wide specificity compared to its native form and mediated efficient targeting in motor neuron-like cells derived from a patient with ALS. Our results lay the foundation for the implementation of RNA-targeting CRISPR technologies for C9ORF72-linked ALS/FTD.

A high-fidelity CRISPR-Cas13 system improves abnormalities associated with C9ORF72-linked ALS/FTD

Project description:An abnormal expansion of a G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat in the C9ORF72 gene is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), two debilitating neurodegenerative disorders driven in part by gain-of-function mechanisms involving transcribed forms of the repeat expansion.

When delivered to the brain of a transgenic rodent model, this Cas13-based platform curbed the expression of the G4C2 repeat-containing RNA without affecting normal C9ORF72 levels, which in turn decreased the formation of RNA foci, reduced the production of a dipeptide repeat protein, and reversed transcriptional deficits. This high-fidelity system possessed improved transcriptome-wide specificity compared to its native form and mediated targeting in motor neuron-like cells derived from a patient with ALS. These results lay the foundation for the implementation of RNA-targeting CRISPR technologies for C9ORF72-linked ALS/FTD.

Poly-GR impairs translation elongation and increases ribotoxic stress response in C9ORF72-ALS/FTD

Project description:Hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9ORF72 gene is the most frequent inherited cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Poly-GR is one of the most toxic dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins translated from the RNA repeats. It has been shown to affect protein synthesis, but how this contributes to neurodegeneration is not clear. Here, we found that poly-GR inhibits global translation by perturbing translation elongation. We identified that the transcripts with relatively slow elongation rate tend to be further stalled by poly-GR in iPSC-differentiated neurons. This increases ribosome collision and ZAKα-mediated ribotoxic stress response (RSR), which elevates the phosphorylation of p38 and promotes cell death. Knockdown of ZAKα or pharmacological inhibition of p38 can ameliorate the GR toxicity, and improve the survival of C9ORF72-ALS/FTD patient-derived iPSC-neurons. Our study reveals molecular mechanism of poly-GR mediated toxicity on global translatome, and identifies RSR as a potential therapeutic target for C9ORF72-ALS/FTD.

Characterising day 90 human C9ORF72-ALS/FTD cerebral organoids at single cell level

Project description:A hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) in C9ORF72 is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Human imaging and experimental studies hint at early changes in the brain in C9-ALS/FTD, which remain poorly understood. To define these changes, we used cerebral organoid models derived from C9-ALS/FTD patients and controls to create a single cell RNA sequencing dataset at day 90. Together, these dataset will help to shed light on initial pathologies crucial for understanding disease onset and the design of therapeutic strategies.

Correction of ALS-related phenotypes in iPSC-derived motor neurons carrying a hexanucleotide expansion mutation in C9orf72 by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and homology-directed repair

Project description:The G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) in C9orf72 is the commonest cause of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A number of different methods have been used in an attempt to generate isogenic control lines using CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas9 and NHEJ by deleting the repeat region without replacing it with the normal repeat size, but typically this strategy carries the risk of creating indels and genomic instability. In this study we demonstrate complete correction of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line derived from a C9orf72-HR positive ALS patient using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and homology directed repair (HDR), resulting in replacement of the excised region with a donor template carrying the wild-type repeat size to maintain the genetic architecture of the locus. The isogenic correction of the C9orf72 HRE restored normal expression and methylation at the C9orf72 locus, reduced intron retention in the edited lines, and abolished pathological phenotypes associated with the C9orf72 HRE expansion in iPSC derived motor neurons (iPSMNs). RNA sequencing of the mutant line identified 2220 differentially expressed genes compared to its isogenic control. Enrichment analysis demonstrated an over-representation of ALS relevant pathways in the presence of the C9orf72 HRE, including calcium ion dependent exocytosis, synaptic transport and the KEGG ALS pathway, as well as new targets of potential relevance to ALS pathophysiology.Complete correction of the C9orf72 HRE in iPS MNs by CRISPR/Cas9 mediated HDR provides an ideal model to study the earliest effects of the hexanucleotide expansion on cellular homeostasis and the key pathways implicated in ALS pathophysiology.
