Project description:We used cerebral organoids generated from wildtype and CHD8 +/- human ES cells to study the effects of CHD8, one of the top ASD risk genes, on early cortical development. CHD8 +/- hESC were generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system to create a deletion within the helicase domain. Cerebral organoids were generated according to the protocol from Lancaster et al 2013 with minor modifications.

Project description:CHD8 (chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 8), which codes for a member of the CHD family of ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling factors, is the most commonly mutated gene in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) identified in exome-sequencing studies. Loss of function mutations in the gene have also been found in schizophrenia (SZ) and intellectual disabilities, and affects cancer cell proliferation. To better understanding the molecular links between CHD8 functions and ASD, we have applied the CRISPR/Cas9 technology to knockout (KO) one copy of CHD8 in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and build cerebral organoids, a model for the developing telencephalon. RNA-seq was carried out on KO organoids (CHD8+/-) and isogenic controls (CHD8+/+). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) revealed an enrichment of genes involved in neurogenesis, forebrain development, Wnt/β-catenin signaling and axonal guidance. The SZ and bipolar disorder (BD) candidate gene TCF4 was significantly upregulated. Our CHD8 KO DEGs were significantly overlapped with those found in a transcriptome analysis using cerebral organoids derived from a family with idiopathic ASD and another transcriptome study using iPS cell-derived neurons from patients with BD, a condition characterized in a subgroup of patients by dysregulated WNT/β-catenin signaling. Overall, the findings show that distinct ASD, SZ and BD candidate genes converge on common molecular targets - an important consideration for developing novel therapeutics in genetically heterogeneous complex traits.

Project description:Chromodomain helicase DNA-binding 8 (CHD8) is one of the most frequently mutated genes causative of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While its phenotypic spectrum often encompasses macrocephaly and hence implicates cortical abnormalities in this form of ASD, the neurodevelopmental impact of human CHD8 haploinsufficiency remains unexplored. Here we combined human cerebral organoids and single cell transcriptomics to define the effect of ASD-linked CHD8 mutations on human cortical development. We found that CHD8 haploinsufficiency causes a major disruption of neurodevelopmental trajectories with an accelerated generation of inhibitory neurons and a delayed production of excitatory neurons alongside the ensuing protraction of the proliferation phase. This imbalance may contribute to the significant enlargement of cerebral organoids in line with the macrocephaly observed in patients with CHD8 mutations. By adopting an isogenic design of patient-specific mutations and mosaic cerebral organoids, we define genotype-phenotype relationships and uncover their cell-autonomous nature. Finally, our results assign different CHD8-dependent molecular defects to particular cell types, pointing to an abnormal and extended program of proliferation and alternative splicing specifically affected in, respectively, the radial glial and immature neuronal compartments. By identifying temporally restricted cell-type specific effects of human CHD8 mutations, our study uncovers developmental alterations as reproducible endophenotypes for neurodevelopmental disease modelling.

Project description:Disruptive variants in the chromodomain helicase CHD8, which acts as a transcriptional regulator during neurodevelopment, are strongly associated with risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Loss of CHD8 function is hypothesized to perturb gene regulatory networks in the developing brain, thereby contributing to ASD etiology. However, insight into the cell type-specific transcriptional effects of CHD8 loss of function remains limited. We used single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-sequencing to globally profile gene expression and identify dysregulated genes in the embryonic and juvenile wild type and Chd8+/− mouse cortex, respectively. Chd8 and other ASD risk-associated genes showed a convergent expression trajectory that was largely conserved between the mouse and human developing cortex, increasing from the progenitor zones to the cortical plate. Genes associated with risk for neurodevelopmental disorders and genes involved in neuron projection development, chromatin remodeling, signaling, and migration were dysregulated in Chd8+/− embryonic day (E) 12.5 radial glia. Genes implicated in synaptic organization and activity were dysregulated in Chd8+/− postnatal day (P) 25 deep- and upper-layer excitatory neurons, suggesting a delay in synaptic maturation or impaired synaptogenesis due to CHD8 loss of function. Our findings reveal a complex pattern of transcriptional dysregulation in Chd8+/− developing cortex, potentially with distinct biological impacts on progenitors and maturing neurons in the excitatory neuronal lineage.

Project description:De novo mutations in CHD8 are strongly associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), however the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here we report that Chd8 knockdown during cortical development results in defective neural progenitor proliferation and differentiation that ultimately manifests in abnormal neuronal morphology and behaviors in adult mice. Transcriptome analysis revealed that on the one hand Chd8 stimulates the transcription of cell cycle genes, while on the other it precludes the induction of neural specific genes by regulating the expression of PRC2 complex components. Furthermore, knockdown of Chd8 disrupts the expression of key transducers of Wnt signaling, and enhancing Wnt signaling rescues the transcriptional and behavioral deficits caused by Chd8 knockdown. We propose that these roles of Chd8 and the dynamics of its expression during development help negotiate the fine balance between neural progenitor proliferation and differentiation. Together, these observations provide new insights into the etiology of ASD.

Project description:Cerebral organoids â three-dimensional cultures of human cerebral tissue derived from pluripotent stem cells â have emerged as models of human cortical development. However, the extent to which in vitro organoid systems recapitulate neural progenitor cell proliferation and neuronal differentiation programs observed in vivo remains unclear. Here we use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to dissect and compare cell composition and progenitor-to-neuron lineage relationships in human cerebral organoids and fetal neocortex. Covariation network analysis using the fetal neocortex data reveals known and novel interactions among genes central to neural progenitor proliferation and neuronal differentiation. In the organoid, we detect diverse progenitors and differentiated cell types of neuronal and mesenchymal lineages, and identify cells that derived from regions resembling the fetal neocortex. We find that these organoid cortical cells use gene expression programs remarkably similar to those of the fetal tissue in order to organize into cerebral cortex-like regions. Our comparison of in vivo and in vitro cortical single cell transcriptomes illuminates the genetic features underlying human cortical development that can be studied in organoid cultures. 734 single-cell transcriptomes from human fetal neocortex or human cerebral organoids from multiple time points were analyzed in this study. All single cell samples were processed on the microfluidic Fluidigm C1 platform and contain 92 external RNA spike-ins. Fetal neocortex data were generated at 12 weeks post conception (chip 1: 81 cells; chip 2: 83 cells) and 13 weeks post conception (62 cells). Cerebral organoid data were generated from dissociated whole organoids derived from induced pluripotent stem cell line 409B2 (iPSC 409B2) at 33 days (40 cells), 35 days (68 cells), 37 days (71 cells), 41 days (74 cells), and 65 days (80 cells) after the start of embryoid body culture. Cerebral organoid data were also generated from microdissected cortical-like regions from H9 embryonic stem cell derived organoids at 53 days (region 1, 48 cells; region 2, 48 cells) or from iPSC 409B2 organoids at 58 days (region 3, 43 cells; region 4, 36 cells).

Project description:We examined the impact of germline heterozygous frameshift Chd8 mutation on neurodevelopment in mice. Adult Chd8+/del5 mice exhibited cognitive impairment correlated with increased cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala volume, but displayed normal social interactions and no repetitive behaviors. Network analysis of neurodevelopmental gene expression revealed widespread transcriptional changes in Chd8+/del5 mice across pathways disrupted in neurodevelopmental disorders, including neurogenesis, synaptic processes, and neuroimmune signaling. Among gene co-expression networks, we identified a module with peak expression in early brain development that featured dysregulation of genes enriched for promoter binding by Chd8 and associated with RNA processing, chromatin remodeling, and cell cycle. We validated increased neuronal proliferation and splicing alterations during Chd8+/del5 brain development. Our results show that Chd8+/del5 mice exhibit neurodevelopmental changes paralleling humans with CHD8 mutations and highlight widespread pathological consequences of Chd8 haploinsufficiency.
