Striatal genes regulated by super-enhancers and displaying low paused RNAPII are preferentially down-regulated in Huntington’s disease [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Huntington neurodegenerative disease (HD) is associated with extensive down-regulation of neuronal genes. We show preferential down-regulation of super-enhancer-regulated neuronal function genes in the striatum of HD mice. Striatal super-enhancers display extensive H3K27 acetylation within gene bodies and drive transcription characterized by low levels of paused RNAPII. Down-regulation of gene expression is associated with diminished H3K27 acetylation and RNAPII recruitment. Striatal super-enhancers are enriched in binding motifs for Gata transcription factors, such as Gata2 regulating striatal identity genes. Thus, enhancer topography and transcription dynamics are major parameters determining the propensity of a gene to be deregulated in a neurodegenerative disease.

Early epigenomic and transcriptional changes reveal Elk-1 transcription factor as a therapeutic target in Huntington’s disease [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Huntington’s disease (HD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a late clinical onset despite ubiquitous expression of the mutant Huntingtin gene (HTT) from birth. Transcriptional dysregulation is a pivotal feature of HD. Yet, the genes that are altered in the prodromal period and their regulators, which present opportunities for therapeutic intervention, remain to be elucidated. Using transcriptional and chromatin profiling, we found aberrant transcription and changes in histone H3K27 acetylation in the striatum of R6/1 mice during the presymptomatic disease stages. Integrating these data, we identified the Elk-1 transcription factor as a candidate regulator of prodromal changes in HD. Exogenous expression of Elk-1 exerted beneficial effects in a primary striatal cell culture model of HD, and adeno-associated virus-mediated Elk-1 overexpression alleviated transcriptional dysregulation in R6/1 mice. Collectively, our work demonstrates that aberrant gene expression precedes overt disease onset in HD, identifies the Elk-1 transcription factor as a key regulator linked to early epigenetic and transcriptional changes in HD, and presents evidence for Elk-1 as a target for alleviating molecular pathology in HD.

ChIP_HD_KI_3

Project description:Temporal dynamics and mechanisms underlying epigenetic changes in Huntington’s disease (HD),a neurodegenerative disease primarily affecting the striatum, remain unclear. Using slow progressing HDknockinmice,we have generated chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with sequencing data for RNA polymerase II and histone modifications associated with active enhancers (H3K27ac) and repressive chromatin (H3K27me3), from neuronal, non-neuronal and bulk striatal tissue at two early disease stages. Data integration with cell type-specific transcriptomic databases shows that the HD mutation early accelerates age-related reprogramming of neuronal and glial cell identities at both epigenetic and transcriptional levels. Circular chromosome conformation capture followed by sequencing data using HD mouse striatum showed alterations both at neuronal super-enhancer and CAG expanded disease loci. Using these data to model higher-order chromatin architecture indicated that HD CAG expansion mutation impairs chromatin insulation and gene regulation. Thus, both age-dependent and disease locus-specific mechanisms contribute to early remodelling of chromatin structure in HD striatum.

Neuronal and astrocytic contributions to Huntington’s disease dissected following mutant Huntingtin (mHTT) lowering

Project description:Huntington’s disease (HD) is caused by expanded CAG repeats in the Huntingtin gene (HTT) that results in expression of mutant HTT proteins (mHTT) with extended polyglutamine tracts in diverse cells of the body, including striatal neurons and astrocytes. The relative contributions of neurons and astrocytes to disease pathogenesis are unknown for HD and other neurodegenerative diseases. This is a critical issue to address since it has been proposed that neuronal loss in HD and other major neurodegenerative diseases is downstream of astrocytic dysfunction that drives neuronal death. Moreover, astrocyte-to-neuron conversion is considered a promising approach in HD and other neurodegenerative diseases with little reported detriment with regards to normal astrocytic physiological functions, which are varied and extensive in health and disease. Thus, astrocytes are considered both causative and also largely replaceable in neurodegeneration, and their basic contributions to disease pathophysiology relative to neurons remain undefined in vivo. We used genetically encoded and cell-specific zinc finger protein (ZFP) transcriptional repressors to lower mHTT and molecularly dissected neuronal and astrocytic influences on HD pathophysiology at molecular, cellular, and behavioral levels. We found that the major disease drivers were in fact neurons, with astrocytes displaying lesser loss of essential functions such as cholesterol metabolism that were downstream of greater neuronal dysfunction, which encompassed neuromodulation, synaptic, and intracellular signaling. We thus dissected the cell autonomous and non-cell autonomous mechanistic and causal contributions of both neurons and astrocytes to a complex neurodegenerative disease in vivo with wider implications for rescue and repair strategies.

Experimental replacement therapy counters decreased IGF-1 levels in Huntington’s disease

Project description:Huntington’s disease (HD) is a monogenetic neurodegenerative disorder caused by the expansion of a polyglutamine (polyQ) stretch in huntingtin (htt). Here we show that mutant htt reduces the transcription of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and leads to loss of IGF-1 in HD brains, HD mouse models and mutant htt-transgenic microglial cells. IGF-1 replacement therapy by transplantation of genetically engineered mouse neuronal precursor cells (mNPCs) in a mouse model of HD reverted the motor phenotype and countered striatal neuronal loss.
