Disruption of Autism Spectrum Disorder-Susceptibility Genes Predominantly Reduces Functional Connectivity of Isogenic Human Neurons

Project description:Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous, but genomic analyses have identified candidate susceptibility genes. We present a CRISPR gene editing strategy to insert a protein tag and premature termination sites creating an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) knockout resource for functional studies of 10 ASD-relevant genes (AFF2/FMR2, ANOS1, ASTN2, ATRX, CACNA1C, CHD8, DLGAP2, KCNQ2, SCN2A, TENM1). Neurogenin 2 (NEUROG2)-directed differentiation of iPSCs allowed production of cortical excitatory neurons, and mutant proteins were not detectable. Using both patch-clamp and multi-electrode array approaches, the electrophysiological deficits measured were distinct for different mutations. However, they culminated in a consistent reduction in synaptic activity, including reduced spontaneous excitatory post-synaptic current frequencies in AFF2/FMR2-, ASTN2-, ATRX-, KCNQ2- and SCN2A-null neurons. RNAseq revealed convergence of several neuronal networks. Despite ASD susceptibility genes belonging to different gene ontologies, isogenic stem cell resources can reveal common functional phenotypes, such as reduced functional connectivity.

A clinically applicable connectivity signature for glioblastoma includes the tumor network driver CHI3L1

Project description:Tumor microtubes (TMs) connect glioma cells to a network with considerable relevance for tumor progression and therapy resistance. The determination of TM-interconnectivity in individual tumors has been challenging and the impact on patient survival unresolved. Here, a connectivity signature from single-cell RNA-sequenced (scRNA-Seq) xenografted primary glioblastoma (GB) cells has been established using a dye uptake methodology, confirmed with recording of cellular calcium epochs and validated with clinical correlations. Astrocyte-like and mesenchymal-like GB cells have the highest connectivity signature scores in scRNA-sequenced patient-derived xenografts and patient samples. In large GB cohorts, network connectivity correlated with the mesenchymal subtype and dismal patient survival. CHI3L1 has been identified and validated as a robust molecular marker of connectivity with functional relevance. The connectivity signature allows novel insights into brain tumor biology, provides a proof-of-principle that tumor cell TM-connectivity is relevant for patients’ prognosis, and serves as a robust prognostic biomarker.

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.

Excessive local host-graft connectivity in aged and amyloid-loaded brain

Project description:Transplantation is a clinically relevant approach for brain repair, but much remains to be understood about influences of the disease environment in the host on transplant connectivity. To explore the influence of ageing and amyloid pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) we examined graft connectivity using monosynaptic Rabies virus tracing in APP/PS1 mice and in 16-18 month-old wild type mice. Neurons differentiated within 4 weeks and integrated well into the host visual cortex receiving input from the regions appropriate for visual cortex. Surprisingly, however, we found a prominent several-fold increase in local visual cortex input connectivity in both amyloid-loaded and aged environment. State-of-the-art deep proteome analysis using mass spectrometry provides first insights into the composition of environments promoting or not local exuberant input connectivity. These data therefore highlight the key role of the host pathology in shaping the input connectome calling for caution in extrapolating from one to another pathological condition.
