SHANK2 mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder cause hyperconnectivity of human neurons

Project description:Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the synaptic scaffolding gene SHANK2 are strongly associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To investigate their effect on synaptic connectivity, we generated cortical neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from neurotypic and ASD-affected donors. We developed Sparse coculture for Connectivity (SparCon) assays where SHANK2 and control neurons were differentially labeled and sparsely seeded together on a lawn of unlabeled control neurons. We observed striking increases in total synapse number and dendrite complexity. Dendrite length increases were exacerbated by IGF1 or BDNF treatment. Increased excitatory synapse function in haploinsufficient SHANK2 neurons was phenocopied in gene-edited knockout SHANK2 neurons. Gene correction of an ASD SHANK2 mutation rescued excitatory synapse function supporting a role for SHANK2 as a negative regulator of connectivity in developing human neurons. The transcriptome in these isogenic SHANK2 neurons was deeply perturbed in synaptic and plasticity gene sets and ASD gene modules, and activity dependent dendrite extension was defective. Our unexpected findings provide evidence for hyperconnectivity and profoundly altered transcriptome in SHANK2 neurons derived from ASD subjects.

Mutations in the SHANK2 synaptic scaffolding gene in autism spectrum disorder and mental retardation

Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and mental retardation (MR) represent clinically distinct neurodevelopmental disorders with a complex genetic etiology. Using microarrays we identified de novo copy number variations in the SHANK2 synaptic scaffolding gene in two unrelated ASD and MR patients; DNA sequencing of SHANK2 revealed additional variants including a de novo nonsense mutation and 7 rare inherited changes. Our findings further link common genes between ASD and intellectual disability.

SHANK2 mutations associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder cause hyperconnectivity of human neurons

Project description:Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the synaptic scaffolding gene SHANK2 are strongly associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To investigate their effect on synaptic connectivity, we generated cortical neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from neurotypic and ASD-affected donors. We developed Sparse coculture for Connectivity (SparCon) assays where SHANK2 and control neurons were differentially labeled and sparsely seeded together on a lawn of unlabeled control neurons. We observed striking increases in dendrite length, dendrite complexity, total synapse number, and frequency of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents. These findings were phenocopied in gene-edited homozygous SHANK2 knockout cells and rescued by gene correction of an ASD SHANK2 muation, supporting a role for SHANK2 as a regulator of connectivity in developing human neurons. Dendrite length increases were exacerbated by IGF1, TG003, or BDNF, and suppressed by DHPG treatment. The transcriptome in these isogenic SHANK2 neurons was deeply perturbed in synapse, plasticity, and neuronal morphogenesis gene sets and ASD gene modules, and activity-dependent dendrite extension was impaired. Our unexpected findings provide evidence for hyperconnectivity and profoundly altered transcriptome in SHANK2 neurons derived from ASD subjects.

RNA-seq of 36 individuals with autism spectrum disorder

Project description:To assess the clinical impact of splice-altering noncoding mutations in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we used a deep learning framework (SpliceAI) to predict the splice-altering potential of de novo mutations in 3,953 individuals with ASD from the Simons Simplex Collection. To validate these predictions, we selected 36 individuals that harbored predicted de-novo cryptic splice mutations; each individual represented the only case of autism within their immediate family. We obtained peripheral blood-derived lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) and performed high-depth mRNA sequencing (approximately 350 million 150 bp single-end reads per sample). We used OLego to align the reads against a reference created from hg19 by substituting de novo variants of each individual with the corresponding alternate allele.

Transcription profiling of human blood from children with autism spectrum disorder

Project description:Gene expression in blood of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was studied. Transcriptional profiles were compared with age and gender matched, typically developing children from the general population (GP) or IQ matched children with mental retardation or developmental delay (MR/DD). Experiment Overall Design: Transcriptional profiles were compared with age and gender matched, typically developing children from the general population (GP) or IQ matched children with mental retardation or developmental delay (MR/DD)

MicroRNA biomarkers in blood for Autism spectrum disorder

Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social communication deficits and repetitive behaviors. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been recently recognized as potential biomarkers of ASD as they are dysregulated in various tissues of individuals with ASD. However, it remains unclear whether miRNA expression is altered in individuals with high-functioning ASD. Here, we investigated the miRNA expression profile in peripheral blood from adults with high-functioning ASD, and age and gender-matched healthy controls. Our findings may provide insights regarding the molecular clues for recognizing high-functioning ASD.
