Transcription profiling of Cornelia de Lange Syndrome proband derived cell lines reveals defective cohesin in cdls mediates gene expression with characteristics of transcription factor and insulator activity


ABSTRACT: The Cohesin apparatus has a canonical role in sister chromatid cohesion. Heterozygous mutations in Nipped B-like (NIPBL), SMC1A, and SMC3 have been found in 60% of probands with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS), a dominant multi-system genetic disorder with variable expression. We have performed a genome-wide transcription assessment as well as cohesin binding analysis using human lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) from probands with CdLS and controls. Here, we report a unique profile of genes dysregulated in CdLS that correlates with different clinical presentations. Genome-wide analysis of cohesin binding demonstrates a preference for intergenic regions suggesting a cis-regulatory function mimicking that of an insulator. However, the binding sites are enriched within the promoter regions of the dysregulated genes and are significantly decreased in CdLS probands, indicating an alternative role of cohesin as a classic transcription factor. Cohesin also co-localizes with CTCF at the boundary elements affecting neighboring gene expression in CdLS probands. We propose that the CdLS phenotype is the result of dysregulated gene expression rather than defective sister chromatid cohesion. Phenotype specific expression profiles are also described. Experiment Overall Design: To identify differentially expressed genes between CdLS patients and controls, age and gender matched samples from 16 normal Caucasian controls and 17 clinical severely affected Caucasian patients with NIPBL protein truncating mutations (nonsense or frameshift) were chosen as the training set for the discriminate analysis. To validate the expression pattern obtained from the training set, 6 samples including 1 healthy control, 1 Egyptian CdLS patient, 2 Roberts syndrome patients, and 2 Alagille patients were used as the testing set. All the 39 cell lines were growing anonymously and the processing of these 39 cell lines were randomized by genotypes to eliminate batch effects that may contribute to genotype-specific gene expression

Cohesin regulates sister chromatid cohesion during the mitotic cell cycle with Nipped-B-Like (NIPBL) facilitating its loading and unloading. In addition to this canonical role, cohesin has also been demonstrated to play a critical role in regulation of gene expression in nondividing cells. Heterozygous mutations in the cohesin regulator NIPBL or cohesin structural components SMC1A and SMC3 result in the multisystem developmental disorder Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS).
