Genome sequencing coupled with iPSC technology identifies GTDC1 as a novel candidate gene involved in Neurodevelopmental Disorders

ABSTRACT: We identified genomic structural alterations of six patients with signs of neurodevelopmental disorder (NDDs) that harbour chromosomal rearrangements using large-insert paired-end tag sequencing (DNA-PET). This technique allowed the refinement of chromosomal breakpoints and lead to the identification of seven disrupted genes (GNAQ, RBFOX3, UNC5D, TMEM47, NCAPG2, GTDC1 and XIAP). For one patient we filtered the entire panel of structural variations (SVs) with his parents and identified a unique SV that disrupted a single gene: GTDC1. We then validated the functional consequences of the chromosomal breakpoint disruption of GTDC1 by using patient-derived iPSCs. By differentiating these cells into neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and neurons, we interrogated the disease process at the cellular level and observed defects in the proliferation and glycosylation status of NPCs and also defects in neuronal maturation and function. We compared these results with GTDC1-deficient wild-type human NPCs and neurons, and observed similar phenotypic features as in the patient-derived cells which confirm that GTDC1 is involved in the patient’s phenotype. We show here that the combination of genomic screening with iPSCs technology provides a mechanistic insight into possible contributory effects of candidate genes implicated in NDDs and for personalized medicine.

Personalized genome sequencing coupled with iPSC technology identifies GTDC1 as a gene involved in Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Project description:The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism spectrum disorders have been studied intensively for decades. The ability to generate patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) now offers a novel strategy for modeling human disease. Recent studies have reported the derivation of iPSCs from patients with neurological disorders. The key challenge remains the demonstration of disease-related phenotypes and the ability to model the disease. Here we report a case study with signs of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) harbouring chromosomal rearrangements that were sequenced using long-insert DNA paired-end tag (DNA-PET) sequencing approach. We identified the disruption of a specific gene, GTDC1. By deriving iPSCs from this patient and differentiating them into neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and neurons we dissected the disease process at the cellular level and observed defects in both NPCs and neuronal cells. We also showed that disruption of GTDC1 expression in wild type human NPCs and neurons showed similar phenotype as patient’s iPSCs. Finally, we utilized a zebrafish model to demonstrate a role for GTDC in development of the central nervous system. Our findings highlight the importance of combining sequencing technolgies with the iPSC technology for NDDs modelling that could be applied for personalized medicine.

RBFOX3/NeuN is required for hippocampal circuit balance and function

Project description:RBFOX3 mutations are linked to epilepsy and cognitive impairments, but the underlying pathophysiology of these disorders is poorly understood. Here we report replication of human symptoms in a mouse model with disrupted Rbfox3. Rbfox3 knockout mice displayed increased seizure susceptibility and decreased anxiety-related behaviors. Focusing on hippocampal phenotypes, we found Rbfox3 knockout mice showed increased expression of plasticity genes Egr4 and Arc, and the synaptic transmission and plasticity were defective in the mutant perforant pathway. The mutant dentate granules cells exhibited an increased frequency, but normal amplitude, of excitatory synaptic events, and this change was associated with an increase in the neurotransmitter release probability and dendritic spine density. Together, our results demonstrate anatomical and functional abnormality in Rbfox3 knockout mice, and may provide mechanistic insights for RBFOX3-related human brain disorders. Two samples (one is from wild-type and the other is from Rbfox3 homozygous knockout mice)

Fine-tuning of mTOR signaling by the UBE4B-KLHL22 E3 ubiquitin ligase cascade in brain development

Project description:Abstract Spatiotemporal regulation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is pivotal for establishment of brain architecture. Dysregulation of mTOR signaling is associated with a variety of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Here, we discover that the UBE4B-KLHL22 E3 ubiquitin ligase cascade regulates mTOR activity in neurodevelopment. In a mouse model with UBE4B conditionally deleted in the nervous system, animals display severe growth defects, spontaneous seizures, and premature death. Loss of UBE4B in the brains of mutant mice results in depletion of neural precursor cells (NPCs), impairment of neurogenesis, and enlargement of neuronal soma. Mechanistically, UBE4B polyubiquitinates and degrades KLHL22, an E3 ligase previously shown to degrade the GATOR1 component DEPDC5. Deletion of UBE4B causes upregulation of KLHL22 and hyperactivation of mTOR, leading to defective proliferation and differentiation of NPCs. Suppression of KLHL22 expression reverses the elevated activity of mTOR caused by acute local deletion of UBE4B in the dentate gyrus (DG). Prenatal treatment with the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin rescues neurogenesis defects in Ube4b mutant mice. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that UBE4B and KLHL22 are essential for maintenance and differentiation of the precursor pool through fine-tuning of mTOR activity.

Variants in SART3 cause a novel spliceosomopathy characterised by failure of testis development and neuronal defects

Project description:Squamous cell carcinoma antigen recognized by T cells 3 (SART3) is an RNA binding protein that regulates a diverse array of biological processes, including recycling small nuclear ribonucleic acids (snRNAs) back to the spliceosome. Here we describe nine individuals from six independent families with a multisystem disorder, characterised by intellectual disability, developmental delay, brain anomalies and 46, XY-specific gonadal dysgenesis, who harbour recessive variants in the SART3 gene. Knockdown of the fly orthologue of SART3, Rnp4f, demonstrates a conserved role in neuronal and testicular development. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) carrying patient SART3 variants have disrupted neuronal and gonadal differentiation in vitro. These iPSCs have significant disruption to multiple signalling pathways and complexes, including spliceosome components and mRNA splicing. We propose that biallelic variants in the SART3 gene underlie a novel spliceosomopathy characterised by neuronal defects and testicular dysgenesis.

Chromosomal Instability and Molecular Defects in Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells with Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome

Project description:Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) results from the absence of the NBS1 protein, responsible for detection of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). NBS is characterized by microcephaly, growth retardation, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition. Here we show successful reprogramming of NBS fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cells (NBS-iPSCs). Our data suggest a strong selection for karyotypically normal fibroblasts to go through the reprogramming process. NBS-iPSCs then acquire numerous chromosomal aberrations and show a delayed response to DSB induction. Furthermore, NBS-iPSCs display slower growth, mitotic inhibition, a reduced apoptotic response to stress and abnormal cell cycle-related gene expression. Importantly, NBS neural progenitor cells (NBS-NPCs) show down-regulation of neural developmental genes, which seems to be mediated by P53. Our results demonstrate the importance of NBS1 in early human development, shed new light on the molecular mechanisms underlying this severe syndrome and further expand our knowledge of the genomic stress cells experience during the reprogramming process. Gene expression analysis was performed on a total of 6 human cell lines, including WT and NBS Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and NBS-iPSCs

Verification and rectification of cell type-specific splicing of a Seckel syndrome-associated ATR mutation using iPS cell model

Project description:Seckel syndrome (SS) is a rare spectrum of congenital severe microcephaly and dwarfism. One SS-causative gene is Ataxia Telangiectasia and Rad3-Related Protein (ATR), and ATR (c.2101 A>G) mutation causes skipping of exon 9, resulting in a hypomorphic ATR defect in patients. Because ATR governs DNA repair response, the mutation has been considered the cause of an impaired response to DNA replication stress in neuronal progenitor cells (NPCs), which is associated with the pathogenesis of microcephaly. However, the precise mechanism through which the mutation causes SS remains unclear. To address this issue, we established induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from fibroblasts carrying the ATR mutation and an isogenic ATR-corrected counterpart iPSC clone by genome editing. Interestingly, SS-patient-derived iPSCs (SS-iPSCs) exhibited cell type-specific splicing; exon 9 was dominantly skipped in fibroblasts and iPSC-derived NPCs, but it was included in undifferentiated iPSCs and definitive endodermal cells. SS-iPSC-derived NPCs (SS-NPCs) showed distinct expression profiles from ATR non-mutated NPCs. In SS-NPCs, abnormal mitotic spindles were observed more frequently than in gene-corrected counterparts, and the alignment of NPCs in the surface of the neurospheres was perturbed. Finally, we tested several splicing-modifying compounds and found that a CLK1 inhibitor, TG003, could pharmacologically rescue the exon 9 skipping in SS-NPCs. Furthermore, treatment with TG003 restored the function of ATR in SS-NPCs and decreased the frequency of abnormal mitotic events. In conclusion, our iPSC model of SS revealed a novel function of the ATR mutation in NPCs and NPC-specific missplicing, proving its usefulness for dissecting the pathophysiology of ATR-SS.

Nos3-/- iPSCs model concordant signatures of in utero cardiac pathogenesis [iPSCs]

Project description:Through genome-wide transcriptional comparisons, this study interrogates the capacity of iPSCs to accurately model pathogenic signatures of structural cardiac defects. Herein, we studied the molecular etiology of structural cardiac defects in Nos3-/- mice via transcriptional analysis of stage-matched embryonic and iPSC-derived tissues. In vitro comparisons of differentiated embryoid bodies were calibrated to in utero benchmarks of health and disease. Integrated systems biology analysis of WT and Nos3-/- transcriptional profiles revealed 50% concordant expression patterns between in utero embryonic and ex vivo iPSC-derived tissue. In particular, up-regulation of glucose metabolism (p-value = 3.95x10-12) and down-regulation of fatty acid metabolism (p-value = 6.71x10-12) highlight a bioenergetic signature of early Nos3 deficiency during cardiogenesis that can be recapitulated in iPSC-derived tissues. The in vitro concordance of early Nos3-/- disease signatures supports the utility of iPSCs as a cell-autonomous model of structural heart defects. Moreover, this study supports the use of iPSCs as a platform to pinpoint initial stages of cardiac pathogenesis.
