HNRNPH2 variant linked to intellectual disability disrupts myelination by impairing oligodendrocyte differentiation

ABSTRACT: Mutations in heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H2 (HNRNPH2) lead to an X-linked neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) characterized by abnormal brain development and cognitive impairments. However, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we report that mice carrying the homologous P213L point mutation exhibit cognitive deficits and behavioral abnormalities resembling intellectual disability (ID). Notably, Hnrnph2P213L mice exhibit significant myelination defects, primarily due to impaired differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. Mechanistically, the P213L mutation downregulates myelination-related genes by disrupting the interaction between hnRNPH2 and its target transcripts. Moreover, the myelin-enhancing drug benztropine rescues myelination, restores myelin-related gene expression and ameliorates cognitive deficits, highlighting the role of hnRNPH2 P213L-induced myelin abnormalities in the pathogenesis of ID. This study uncovers a crucial mechanistic link between myelin dysfunction and ID, providing potentially therapeutic ways for X-linked NDDs.

Preclinical evaluation of antisense oligonucleotide therapy in a mouse model of HNRNPH2-related neurodevelopmental disorder

Project description:Mutations in HNRNPH2 are associated with an X-linked disorder characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, motor and gait disturbances, and seizures. Murine models that reproduce key clinical features of HNRNPH2-related neurodevelopmental disorder suggest that it may result from a toxic gain of function of the mutant protein or a complex loss of normal HNRNPH2 function with impaired compensation by its homolog, HNRNPH1. In this study, we tested gapmer antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) that target murine Hnrnph2 in a non-allele-specific manner. The lead ASO reduced Hnrnph2 mRNA and protein levels while inducing compensatory upregulation of Hnrnph1 in both WT and Hnrnph2 mutant mouse brains. A single intracerebroventricular injection of the Hnrnph2 ASO into neonatal mutant Hnrnph2 mice rescued molecular and audiogenic seizure phenotypes and improved motor and cognitive functions. ASO treatment at the juvenile stage also rescued audiogenic seizures and motor deficits. In contrast, Hnrnph2 ASO administration did not improve survival, body weight, or hydrocephalus. In human iPSC-derived neurons, a human-specific HNRNPH2 research ASO reduced HNRNPH2 and upregulated HNRNPH1 mRNA levels.

Neuronal deletion of Gtf2i, associated with Williams syndrome, causes behavioural and myelin alterations rescuable by a remyelinating drug [human]

Project description:Williams syndrome (WS), caused by a heterozygous microdeletion in 7q11.23, is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by hypersociability and neurocognitive abnormalities. Of the deleted genes, general transcription factor II-i (Gtf2i) has been linked to hypersociability in WS, though the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We show that selective deletion of Gtf2i in forebrain excitatory neurons caused neuroanatomical defects, fine motor deficits, increased sociability and anxiety. Unexpectedly, 70% of the genes with significantly decreased mRNA levels in the mutant mouse cortex are involved in myelination, and mutant mice had reduced mature oligodendrocyte cell numbers, reduced myelin thickness and impaired axonal conductivity. Restoring myelination properties with clemastine or increasing axonal conductivity rescued the behavioural deficits. Frontal cortex from WS patients similarly showed reduced myelin thickness, mature oligodendrocyte cell numbers and mRNA levels of myelination-related genes. Our study provides molecular and cellular evidence for myelination deficits in WS linked to neuronal deletion of Gtf2i.

Effect of knockout of and pathogenic mutations in Hnrnph2 on gene expression in mouse cortex

Project description:To investigate the effect of knockout of and pathogenic mutatations in Hnrnph2, we generated mouse lines in which endogenous Hnrnph2 has been knocked out, or 2 pathogenic mutations (R206W, P209L) have been knocked into the endogenous Hnrnph2 using CRISPR Cas-9.

Regulation of PERK-eIF2Î± Signaling by Tuberous Sclerosis Complex-1 Controls Homeostasis and Survival of Myelinating Oligodendrocytes

Project description:Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in either TSC1 or TSC2, exhibits white matter abnormalities including CNS myelin deficits. however, underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here we find that, unexpectedly, constitutive activation of mTOR signaling caused by Tsc1 deletion in the oligodendrocyte lineage results in severe myelination defects and oligodendrocyte cell death. Expression profiling analysis reveals that Tsc1 ablation induces prominent endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress responses through the PERKâeIF2Î± dependent signaling axis and activates Fas-JNK apoptotic pathways. Our studies suggest that TSC1-mTOR signaling acts as an important checkpoint for maintaining oligodendrocyte homeostasis. Gene expression profiling of optic nerve from P12 control and Tsc1cKO mice

Neddylation is a global orchestrator of the molecular network driving Schwann cell myelination

Project description:Axonal myelination is essential for neuronal function and health. In peripheral nerves, deficient myelination is responsible for the morbidity of various forms of inherited or acquired neuropathies, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and diabetic neuropathy. Decades of research have uncovered a complex transcriptional and post-transcriptional program that co-ordinates the formation and maintenance of the myelin sheath. In contrast, much less is known about the functional role of post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins in this remarkable biogenic process. Neddylation, a PTM that involves the conjugation of the ubiquitin-like protein Nedd8 to protein targets, has recently emerged as a central and versatile regulator of many cellular processes, including gene transcription, metabolism, and cellular differentiation. In this study, we show that genetic and pharmacological inhibition of neddylation in vivo in developing Schwann cells lead to striking nerve defects that exhibit the classical hallmarks of a severe neuropathy, including gait abnormalities, muscle weakness, and hindlimb clasping, ultimately leading to early death. The mutant mice lack peripheral myelin and develop secondary axonal loss, and we demonstrate, at the mechanistic level, that neddylation regulates multiple critical myelination-related pathways. Together, our findings identify neddylation as a central regulatory hub of control of peripheral myelination and delineate the potential pathogenetic mechanisms in inherited human PNS disorders, characterized by mutations in genes related to the neddylation pathway.

Identification of Myelin-gene Regulatory Factor as a Critical Transcriptional Regulator Required for CNS Myelination

Project description:The transcriptional control of CNS myelin gene expression is poorly understood. Here we identify gene model 98, which we have named Myelin-gene Regulatory Factor (MRF), as a transcriptional regulator required for CNS myelination. Within the CNS, MRF is specifically expressed by postmitotic oligodendrocytes. MRF is a nuclear protein containing an evolutionarily conserved DNA binding domain homologous to a yeast transcription factor. Knockdown of MRF in oligodendrocytes by RNA interference prevents expression of most CNS myelin genes; conversely, overexpression of MRF within cultured oligodendrocyte progenitors or the chick spinal cord promotes expression of myelin genes. In mice lacking MRF within the oligodendrocyte lineage, pre-myelinating oligodendrocytes are generated but display severe deficits in myelin gene expression and fail to myelinate. These mice display severe neurological abnormalities, and die due to seizures during the third postnatal week. These findings establish MRF as a critical transcriptional regulator essential for oligodendrocyte maturation and CNS myelination. We used microarrays to compare cultured oligodendrocytes (differentiated in vitro for 4 days) from MRF conditional knockouts and control litteramates to look at the effects of MRF deficiency on myelin gene expression. Mouse OPCs grown in vitro in the presence of PDGF serve as a baseline for gene expression prior to differentiation.
