Project description:Diabetes is a major chronic disease with an excessive healthcare burden on society. A coding variant (p.Arg192His) in the transcription factor PAX4 is uniquely and reproducibly associated with altered risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) in East Asian populations, whilst rare PAX4 alleles have been proposed to cause monogenic diabetes8. In mice, Pax4 is essential for beta cell formation but neither the role of diabetes-associated variants in PAX4 nor PAX4 itself on human beta cell development and/or function are known. Here, we demonstrate that non-diabetic carriers of either the PAX4 p.Arg192His or a newly identified p.Tyr186X allele exhibit decreased pancreatic beta cell function. In the human beta cell model, EndoC-βH1, PAX4 knockdown led to impaired insulin secretion, reduced total insulin content and altered hormone gene expression. Deletion of PAX4 in isogenic human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived beta-like cells resulted in de-repression of alpha cell gene expression whilst in vitro differentiation of hiPSCs from carriers of PAX4 p.192His and p.186X alleles exhibited increased polyhormonal endocrine cell formation and reduced insulin content. In silico and in vitro studies showed that these PAX4 alleles cause either reduced PAX4 expression or function. Correction of the diabetes-associated PAX4 alleles reversed these phenotypic changes. Together, we demonstrate the role of PAX4 in human endocrine cell development, beta cell function and its contribution to type 2 diabetes risk.

Project description:There is a close relationship between hyperglycemia in diabetes and progression of periodontal disease. This study aims to investigate the effect of hyperglycemia on the barrier function of gingival epithelial cells as a cause of hyperglycemia-exacerbated periodontitis in diabetes mellitus. Abnormal expressions of adhesion molecules in gingival epithelium in diabetes were compared between db⁄db and control mice.

Project description:Despite overwhelming evidence supporting the role of genetics in susceptibility tocomplex diseases, such as autoimmune disorders, a fundamental unresolved questionis whether large numbers of sequence variants with small effect sizes can alter thespatial genome organization. Here, we provide the first report on the reconfiguration ofthe 3D genome due to nucleotide differences associated with type 1 diabetes, anautoimmune disorder. We show that the chromatin organization at T cell identity genesis identical between diabetes-susceptible and diabetes-resistant mouse strains despitethousands of sequence polymorphisms, suggesting that these loci are epigeneticallyresilient to genetic variation. However, molecular and optical mapping of genomefolding demonstrate that diabetes risk-conferring loci coalesce into close spatialproximity in T cells of diabetes-susceptible mice, forming regulatory cliques, andresulting in aberrant gene expression. Our data uncover 3D chromatin architecture asa new dimension in understanding complex diseases

Project description:SCN1A, encoding the sodium channel protein type 1 alpha subunit, is the most implicated gene in epilepsy. Pathogenic loss-of-function variants that result in SCN1A haploinsufficiency cause the most common DEE, known as Dravet syndrome (DS). Pathogenic gain-of-function variants have been found to cause a more severe, early-onset epilepsy syndrome that is distinct from DS. Here, we investigated DNA methylation patterns in these individuals with SCN1A variants.

Project description:Single nucleotide variants within enhancers—non-coding DNA elements that regulate transcription—often lead to aberrant gene activation and contribute to a wide range of genetic disorders (Claussnitzer et al. 2015; Doan et al. 2016; Turner et al. 2017; Yanchus et al. 2022; Lettice et al. 2008). The mechanism by which ectopic gene activation occurs through these gain-of-function enhancer mutations remains poorly understood. Using the ZRS, a benchmark disease-associated enhancer of Sonic hedgehog (Shh), as a model, we demonstrate that poised (i.e., accessible but inactive) chromatin sensitizes Shh to aberrant activation in anterior limb bud, leading to polydactyly. In the anterior limb cells of wild-type mice, Shh is inactive, but the ZRS is accessible and marked by enhancer-associated histone modifications. We demonstrate that this poising signature explains how over 20 independent rare variants within the ZRS cause Shh misexpression in the same anterior limb bud cell population, resulting in similar limb malformations, despite affecting binding sites for different activators and repressors. Disabling pioneer transcription factor binding to the ZRS suppresses its poised state in anterior cells, prevents aberrant activation of the ZRS by rare variants, and fully rescues limb malformations in variant knock-in mice. A thorough examination of other disease-associated enhancers with pathogenic gain-of-function variants revealed that they are all poised in tissues with ectopic activity. We use this poising signature to predict and validate in vivo ectopic forebrain activity of previously uncharacterized autism-associated non-coding variants. Our findings suggest that spatial enhancer poising, likely a byproduct of development, leads to susceptibility to non-coding mutations offering a potential mechanistic explanation for the burden of disease-associated non-coding variants.
