Project description:Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is a recessive neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive ataxia, dyscoordination, and loss of vision. The variable length of the pathogenic GAA triplet repeat expansion in the FXN gene in part explains Inter-individual variability in severity of disease. The GAA repeat expansion leads to epigenetic silencing of FXN; therefore, variability in properties of epigenetic effector proteins could also regulate the severity of FRDA. In an exploratory analysis, DNA from 88 FRDA patients was analyzed to determine if any of 5 non-synonymous SNPs in HDACs/ SIRTs predicted FRDA disease severity. Results suggested the need for a full analysis (569 FRDA patients) at the rs352493 locus in SIRT6 (S46N SNP). Disease features were compared between patients with the common N46 SIRT6 variant and the less common S46 variant. Biochemical properties of SIRT6 were compared between S46 and N46. Linear regression of the exploratory cohort suggested a SNP (rs352493) in SIRT6 predicted neurologic severity. In follow up analysis, the genotype of SIRT6 at the locus rs352493 predicted disease features of FRDA. Patients with the S46 SIRT6 variant performed better on measures of neurological and visual function over time when compared to the more common N46 SIRT6 variant. S46 SIRT6 did not alter expression or enzymatic activity of SIRT6 or FXN however, S46 patients showed whole transcriptome differences compared to N46 patients, indicative of compensatory mechanisms against whole transcriptome changes seen in FRDA.

Project description:Background: Friedreich ataxia, an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative and cardiac disease, is caused by abnormally low levels of frataxin, an essential mitochondrial protein. All Friedreich ataxia patients carry a GAA/TTC repeat expansion in the first intron of the frataxin gene, either in the homozygous state or in compound heterozygosity with other loss-of-function mutations. The GAA expansion inhibits frataxin expression through a heterochromatin-mediated repression mechanism. Histone modifications that are characteristic of silenced genes in heterochromatic regions occur at expanded alleles in cells from Friedreich ataxia patients, including increased trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 and hypoacetylation of histones H3 and H4. Methodology/Principal Findings: By chromatin immunoprecipitation, we detected the same heterochromatin marks in homozygous mice carrying a (GAA)230 repeat in the first intron of the mouse frataxin gene (KIKI mice). These animals have decreased frataxin levels and, by microarray analysis, show significant gene expression changes in several tissues. We treated KIKI mice with a novel histone deacetylase inhibitor, compound 106, which substantially increases frataxin mRNA levels in cells from Friedreich ataxia individuals. Treatment increased histone H3 and H4 acetylation in chromatin near the GAA repeat and restored wild-type frataxin levels in the nervous system and heart, as determined by quantitative RT-PCR and semiquantitative western blot analysis. No toxicity was observed. Furthermore, most of the differentially expressed genes in KIKI mice reverted towards wild-type levels. Conclusions/Significance: Lack of acute toxicity, normalization of frataxin levels and of the transcription profile changes resulting from frataxin deficiency provide strong support to a possible efficacy of this or related compounds in reverting the pathological process in Friedreich ataxia, a so far incurable neurodegenerative disease.

Project description:We identified a synthetic siRNA (B11) that improves the growth of primary human fibroblasts derived from Friedreich ataxia (FA) patient. A control siRNA, in which one base pair of B11 is mutated (Mut1), was associated with a partial loss of phenotype. This experiment compares the transcriptome of primary FA fibroblasts transfected with B11 siRNA versus the transcriptome of FA cells transfected with Mut1.

Project description:We set out to investigate whether a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) would be effective in an in vitro model for the neurodegenerative disease Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) and to evaluate safety and surrogate markers of efficacy in a phase I clinical trial in patients. In the neuronal cell model, HDACi 109/RG2833 increases FXN mRNA levels and frataxin protein, with concomitant changes in the epigenetic state of the gene. Chromatin signatures indicate that histone H3 lysine 9 is a key residue for gene silencing through methylation and reactivation through acetylation, mediated by the HDACi. Drug treatment in FRDA patients demonstrated increased FXN mRNA and H3 lysine 9 acetylation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. No safety issues were encountered.

We used a human FRDA neuronal cell model, derived from patient induced pluripotent stem cells, to determine the efficacy of a 2-aminobenzamide HDACi (109) as a modulator of FXN gene expression and chromatin histone modifications. FRDA patients were dosed in 4 cohorts, ranging from 30mg/day to 240mg/day of the formulated drug product of HDACi 109, RG2833. Patients were monitored for adverse effects as well as for increases in FXN mRNA, frataxin protein, and chromatin modification in blood cells. Gene expression profiles were obtained using the Illumina HT12v4 Gene Expression BeadArray.

Project description:Friedreich´s Ataxia (FRDA) is a severe neuromuscular disorder caused by a deficiency of the mitochondrial protein frataxin. While some aspects of FRDA pathology are developmental, the causes underlying the steady progression are unclear. The inaccessibility of key affected tissues to sampling is a main hurdle. Skeletal muscle displays a disease phenotype and may be sampled in vivo to address open questions on FRDA pathophysiology. We performed a mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics analysis in gastrocnemius skeletal muscle biopsies from genetically confirmed FRDA patients (n=5) and controls. Our data corroborate a predominant mitochondrial biosignature of FRDA, which extends beyond a mere oxidative phosphorylation failure. Skeletal muscle proteomics highlighted a derangement of mitochondrial architecture and maintenance pathways and an adaptative metabolic shift of contractile proteins. The present findings are relevant for the design of future therapeutic strategies and highlight the value of skeletal muscle -omics as disease state readout in FRDA.
