Sex-Specific Microglia Defects in the Neuroligin-4 Knock-Out Mouse Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Project description:Neuroligin-4 (NL4) loss-of-function mutations are strongly associated with monogenic heritable abnormalities linked with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). NL4 mutation in mice causes ASD related alterations in both, the synaptic and behavioral phenotype. Since microglia closely regulate synaptic development and are implicated as key players in ASD development and progression, we here studied microglial properties in the NL4-/- mouse model. We show that loss of NL4 caused altered behavior and impaired hippocampal gamma oscillations predominantly in male mice. In parallel, microglial density, morphology, and response to injury specifically in the CA3 region of the hippocampus were altered in NL4-deficient males only. A transcriptomic and proteomic analysis revealed a strong impact of sexual dimorphism on molecular alterations in microglia of NL4-deficient compared to wildtype mice. Estrogen application in male NL4-/- animals partially restored the impaired social behavior and the altered microglial phenotype. Together, these results indicate that loss of NL4 affects not only neuronal network activity and behavior, but changes in addition the phenotype of microglia in a sex-specific manner that could be targeted by estrogen treatment.

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.
