Single cell sequencing of iPSC-dopamine neurons reconstructs disease progression and identifies HDAC4 as a regulator of Parkinson cell phenotypes


ABSTRACT: Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived dopamine neurons provide an opportunity to model Parkinson’s disease (PD) but neuronal cultures are confounded by cellular heterogeneity. By applying high-resolution single cell transcriptomic analyses to Parkinson’s iPSC-derived dopamine neurons carrying the GBA-N370S risk variant, we exploited intra-culture cellular heterogeneity to identify a progressive axis of gene expression variation leading to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Analysis of genes differentially-expressed (DE) along this axis identified the transcriptional repressor histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) as an upstream regulator of disease progression. HDAC4 was mislocalized to the nucleus in PD iPSC-derived dopamine neurons and repressed genes early in the disease axis, leading to late deficits in protein homeostasis. Treatment of iPSC-derived dopamine neurons with compounds known to modulate HDAC4 activity upregulated genes early in the DE axis, and corrected Parkinson’s-related cellular phenotypes. Our study demonstrates how single cell transcriptomics can exploit cellular heterogeneity to reveal disease mechanisms and identify therapeutic targets.
