Project description:CCSER1, a gene with limited prior knowledge in neurological conditions has emerged as a potential tumor suppressor and regulator of neurodevelopment. Our analysis reveals that CCSER1 downregulation correlates with down regulation of DNA repair and DNA replication pathways and up regulation of neurodevelopmental pathways, including calcium signaling and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, in CCSER1-deficient zebrafish. These findings suggest a potential role for CCSER1 in neurodevelopmental processes and its impact on adult behavior, as evidenced by altered alcohol preference in zebrafish models. Further investigation is needed to elucidate the precise molecular mechanisms underlying CCSER1 function and its contribution to human diseases, such as addiction and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Project description:Mutations in the E3 ubiquitin ligase UBE3A that cause enzymatic gain-of-function result in heterogeneous disease phenotypes in humans which differ from classic Angelman syndrome. We describe two affected siblings who possess an inherited UBE3AL734S variant that causes a strong gain in UBE3A activity. Unlike previously described cases, these individuals exhibited borderline microcephaly, suggesting the extent of UBE3A gain-of-function can produce neomorphic phenotypes. Here, we characterize a mouse model harboring a strong gain of function variant (Ube3aQ606E) which elevates UBE3A activity 388% above wild type (WT) enzyme levels. We conduct extensive behavioral phenotyping to show that Ube3amQ606E mutants show motor deficits, hypoactivity, and reduced stereotypic behaviors. Brain weights and MRI analysis revealed global microcephaly with a postnatal onset. Proteomic analysis performed on neonatal cortex revealed perturbations in several key proteins and pathways linked to neurodevelopmental disease. Finally, we show that microcephaly is not caused by increased apoptotic cell death. Together, our results provide strong evidence that the type and severity of disease phenotypes depend on the causative UBE3A gain of function mutation and provide new insights into the phenotypic heterogeneity observed in individuals with UBE3A gain of function variants.

Project description:Prenatal alcohol exposure is recognized to alter DNA methylation profiles of brain cells during development, and as being part of the molecular basis underpinning Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) etiology. However, we have negligible information on the effects of alcohol during the initial embryonic stages, a window marked with dynamic DNA methylation reprogramming, and on how this may rework the brain developmental program. Using a pre-clinical in vivo mouse model, we show that pre-implantation alcohol exposure leads to adverse developmental outcomes that replicate clinical facets observed in children with FASD. Genome-wide DNA methylation analyses of fetal forebrains uncovered sex-specific alterations, including partial loss of DNA methylation maintenance at imprinted control regions, and abnormal re-establishment of de novo DNA methylation profiles in various biological pathways (e.g, neural/brain development). These findings support the contribution of alcohol-induced DNA methylation programming deviations during pre-implantation to the manifestations of neurodevelopmental phenotypes associated with FASD.

Project description:Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a major cause of alcohol related mortality. The specific mechanisms responsible for ALD development and progression are not fully understood, and there is limited therapy for any stage of ALD. Sex differences are often disregarded in in genetic and mechanistic studies. We aimed to take an unbiased approach to define sex specific pathways in livers exposed to alcohol. METHODS: Mice were fed LieberDeCarli alcohol liquid diet for 3 weeks. To identify the role of Kdm5b and Kdm5c we injected mice with AAV-shControl at 2x10^11 gc per mouse or AAV-shKdm5b and AAV-Kdm5c vectors at 10^11 gc per mouse. To assess the role of AhR we injected mice with AAV-shControl or AAV-shAhR vectors at 10^11 gc per mouse. RESULTS: We found several pathways affected by alcohol in sex specific way and identified KDM5 demethylases as contributors to that specificity.

Project description:Fetal alcohol exposure can lead to developmental abnormalities, intellectual disability, and behavioral changes, collectively termed fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). In 2015, the CDC found that 1 in 10 pregnant women report alcohol use and more than 3 million women in the USA are at risk of exposing their developing baby to alcohol. Identifying genetic risk alleles for FASD is challenging, since time, dose and frequency of exposure are often unknown, and phenotypic manifestations of FASD are diverse and become evident long after exposure. Drosophila melanogaster presents an excellent model to study developmental effects of alcohol exposure, because virtually unlimited numbers of individuals of the same genotype can be reared rapidly and economically under well-controlled environmental conditions without regulatory restrictions. Furthermore, flies exposed to alcohol undergo physiological and behavioral changes that resemble human alcohol-related phenotypes. Flies reared on ethanol-supplemented medium show decreased viability, reduced sensitivity to ethanol, and disrupted sleep and activity patterns. To assess alcohol-modulated gene expression in the brains of flies reared on alcohol, we performed single cell RNA sequencing and resolved cell clusters with differentially expressed genes representing distinct neuronal and glial populations. We observed extensive sexual dimorphism. Two clusters associated with glial biomarkers showed greater differential gene expression in males, whereas mushroom body-derived cells exhibited a greater degree of differential gene expression in females. Results obtained from these studies provide a blueprint for translational studies on alcohol-induced effects on gene expression in the brain that may contribute to or result from FASD in human populations.

Project description:Early life stress (ELS) can impact brain development and is a risk factor for neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia. Post-weaning social isolation (SI) is used to model ELS in animals, using isolation stress to disrupt a normal developmental trajectory. We aimed to investigate how SI affects the expression of genes in mouse hippocampus and to investigate how these changes related to the genetic basis of neurodevelopmental phenotypes. BL/6J mice were exposed to post-weaning SI (PD21-25) or treated as group-housed controls (n = 7-8 per group). RNA sequencing was performed on tissue samples from the hippocampus of adult male and female mice. Four hundred and 1,215 differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) at a false discovery rate of < 0.05 were detected between SI and control samples for males and females respectively. DEGS for both males and females were significantly overrepresented in gene ontologies related to synaptic structure and function, especially the post-synapse. DEGs were enriched for common variant (SNP) heritability in humans that contributes to risk of neuropsychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder) and to cognitive function. DEGs were also enriched for genes harbouring rare de novo variants that contribute to autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disorders. Finally, cell type analysis revealed populations of hippocampal astrocytes that were enriched for DEGs, indicating effects in these cell types as well as neurons. Overall, these data suggest a convergence between genes dysregulated by the SI stressor in the mouse and genes associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and cognitive phenotypes in humans.

Project description:Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) affects embryonic development, causing a variable fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) phenotype with neurodevelopmental disorders and birth defects. To explore the effects of PAE on gastrulation, we used an in vitro model with subchronic moderate (20 mM) and severe (70 mM) ethanol exposures during the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into germ layer cells. We analysed genome-wide gene expression (mRNA sequencing), DNA methylation (EPIC Illumina microarrays), and metabolome (non-targeted LC-MS) of the endodermal, mesodermal, and ectodermal cells. The largest number of ethanol-induced alterations were observed in endodermal cells, whereas the most prominent changes were in ectodermal cells. Methionine metabolism and genes of the major signaling pathways involved in gastrulation and body patterning were affected by ethanol in all germ layers. Many of the altered genes, including BMP4, FGF8, SIX3, and LHX2, have previously been associated with PAE and phenotypes of FASD, like defects in heart and corpus callosum development as well as holoprosencephaly. Our findings support the early origin of alcohol-induced developmental disorders and strengthen the role of methionine cycle in the etiology of FASD.
