Expression data from the human parietal cortex brain

ABSTRACT: Schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) are highly heritable psychiatric disorders. Associated genetic and gene expression changes have been identified, but many have not been replicated and have unknown functions. We identified groups of genes whose expressions varied together, that is co-expression modules, then tested them for association with SCZ. Using weighted gene co-expression network analysis, we show that two modules were differentially expressed in patients versus controls. One, upregulated in cerebral cortex, was enriched with neuron differentiation and neuron development genes, as well as disease genome-wide association study genetic signals; the second, altered in cerebral cortex and cerebellum, was enriched with genes involved in neuron protection functions. The findings were preserved in five expression data sets, including sets from three brain regions, from a different microarray platform, and from BD patients. From those observations, we propose neuron differentiation and development pathways may be involved in etiologies of both SCZ and BD, and neuron protection function participates in pathological process of the diseases.

Aberrant transcriptomes and DNA methylomes define pathways that drive pathogenesis and loss of brain laterality/asymmetry in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder [Illumina]

Project description:Although the loss or reversal of brain laterality is one of the most consistent modalities in schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BD), its molecular basis remains elusive. Our limited previous studies indicated that epigenetic modifications are key to the asymmetric transcriptomes of brain hemispheres. We used whole-genome expression microarrays to profile post-mortem brain samples from subjects with SCZ, psychotic BD [BD(+)] or non-psychotic BD [BD(-)], or matched controls (n=10/group, corresponding to different brain hemispheres) and performed whole-genome DNA methylation (DNAM) profiling of the same samples (n=3-4/group) to identify pathways associated with SCZ or BD(+) and genes/sites susceptible to epigenetic regulation. qRT-PCR and quantitative DNAM analysis were employed to validate findings in larger sample sets (n=35/group). Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) demonstrated that BMP signaling and astrocyte and cerebral cortex development are significantly (FDR q<0.25) coordinately upregulated in both SCZ and BD(+), and glutamate signaling and TGFβ signaling are significantly coordinately upregulated in SCZ. GSEA also indicated that collagens are downregulated in right versus left brain of controls, but not in SCZ or BD(+) patients, and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis predicted that TGFB2 is an upstream regulator of these genes (p=0.0012). While lateralized expression of TGFB2 in controls (p=0.017) is associated with a corresponding change in DNAM (p≤0.023), lateralized expression and DNAM of TGFB2 are absent in SCZ or BD. Loss or reversal of brain laterality in SCZ and BD corresponds to aberrant epigenetic regulation of TGFB2 and changes in TGFβ signaling, indicating potential avenues for disease prevention/treatment.

A human single cell atlas of the substantia nigra reveals novel cell specific pathways associated with the genetic risk of Parkinson’s disease and neuropsychiatric disorders

Project description:We describe the first human single-nuclei transcriptomic atlas for substantia nigra (SN), generated by sequencing ~ 17,000 nuclei from matched cortical and SN samples. We show that common genetic risk for Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with dopaminergic neuron (DaN)-specific gene expression including mitochondrial functioning, protein folding and ubiquitination pathways. We also identified a distinct cell-type association between PD risk and oligodendrocyte-specific expression implicating metabolic and gene expression regulation networks. Beyond PD, we find SN DaNs and GABAergic neurons to be associated with different neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BP). We identified distinct cortex/SN associations with SCZ genetic risk for both excitatory (synaptic functioning) and dopaminergic neurons (mitochondrial functioning and synaptic signalling). Conditional analyses shows that independent sets of loci associate distinct neuropsychiatric disorders with the same neuronal types. This atlas guides our aetiological understanding by associating SN cell-type expression profiles with specific disease risk.

Cell type-specific mechanism of Setd1a heterozygosity in schizophrenia pathogenesis [CUT&RUN]

Project description:Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a chronic, serious mental disorder with severe burden on patients’ families and society. Although over 100 genes have been linked to SCZ pathogenies, the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we generated a Setd1a haploinsufficiency mouse model to understand how this SCZ-associated epigenetic factor affects gene expression programs in cells of brain regions highly relevant to SCZ. By comparing single-cell RNA-seq results from wild type and Setd1a+/- mice, we found Setd1a heterozygosity causes highly diverse transcriptional adaptations across different cell types in prefrontal cortex and striatum, suggesting brain region- and cell type-specific mechanisms contribute to pathophysiology of SCZ. Interestingly, we found the Foxp2+ neurons exhibit the most prominent gene expression changes among the different neuron subtypes in PFC, which correlate with the H3K4me3 changes. Importantly, many of the genes dysregulated in heterozygous Setd1a mice are linked to neuron morphogenesis and synaptic function. Consistently, heterozygous Setd1a mice exhibit certain behavioral features of SCZ patients. Collectively, our study establishes Setd1a heterozygous mice as a model for understanding SCZ and uncovers a complex brain region- and cell type-specific changes that potentially underlying SCZ pathogenesis.

REST and Impaired Neural Stress Resistance in Bipolar Disorder

Project description:Neurodevelopmental changes and impaired stress resistance have been implicated in the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder (BD), but the underlying regulatory mechanisms are unresolved. Here we describe a cerebral organoid model of BD that exhibits altered early neural development, elevated neural network activity, and a major shift in the transcriptome. These phenotypic changes were reproduced in cerebral organoids generated from iPS cell lines derived in multiple different laboratories. The BD cerebral organoid transcriptome showed highly significant enrichment for gene targets of the transcriptional repressor REST. This was associated with reduced nuclear REST and REST binding to target gene recognition sites. Reducing the oxygen concentration in organoid cultures to a physiological range ameliorated the developmental phenotype and restored REST expression. These effects were mimicked by treatment with lithium. Reduced nuclear REST and derepression of REST targets genes was also observed in the prefrontal cortex of BD patients. Thus, an impaired cellular stress response in BD cerebral organoids leads to altered neural development and transcriptional dysregulation associated with downregulation of REST. These findings provide a new model and conceptual framework for exploring the molecular basis of BD

Dysregulation of the complement and coagulation cascade in treated schizophrenia and bipolar disorder patients

Project description:A better understanding of the proteomic profile after bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia (SCZ) treatment, through monitoring its progression, may assist the development of novel therapeutic strategies with the ability to reduce or control possible side effects. In this study, proteomics analysis employing liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and bioinformatic tools were applied to identify differentially expressed proteins in serum of treated BD and SCZ patients. In total, 10 BD patients, 10 SCZ patients, and 14 healthy participants were included. From 25 serum proteins significantly altered (> 1.5- fold change), 8 were down-regulated in the BD group, while 7 proteins were up- regulated and 2 down-regulated in SCZ group when compared against healthy controls. Bioinformatics analysis based on these 25 proteins validated two main altered pathways previously described in the literature; furthermore, it revealed that opposite expressions of the complement and coagulation cascades were the most significant biological processes involved in these pathologies. Associations of disease-proteins and pathways suggest therapeutic intervention or prevention of comorbidities risks for BD and SCZ. Further validation and investigation are required to define whether there is correlation between complement and coagulation cascade expression for both diseases and cardiovascular diseases.

Identification of molecular controls of Corticothalamic projection neurons differentiatiion

Project description:Molecular mechanisms controlling specification and differentiation of distinct neuron subtypes in the cerebral cortex are not well understood. Corticothalamic projection neurons (CThPN) are a diverse set of neurons, critical for function of the neocortex, but little is known about the molecular mechansims controlling their development. We used microarrays to detail CThPN gene expression at 3 developmental time points. We then compared CThPN gene expression, with the gene expression of other neuron subtypes in the cerebral cortex at the same stages (previously described in Arlotta et a., 2005) CThPN were retrogradely label with fluorescent microespheres injected into the thalamus, and were FACS purified at 3 developmental stages for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
