Generation and validation of APOE knockout human iPSC-derived cerebral organoids.

ABSTRACT: Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a major lipid carrier in the brain and closely associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we describe a protocol for efficient knockout of APOE in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. We obtain homozygous APOE knockout (APOE ^-/- ) iPSCs and further validate the deficiency of apoE in iPSC-derived cerebral organoids. APOE ^-/- cerebral organoids can serve as a useful tool to study apoE functions and apoE-related pathogenic mechanisms in AD. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zhao et al. (2020).

Transcriptome of iPSC-derived Cerebral Organoids with Heterozygous Knockout in CHD8

Project description:CHD8 (chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 8), which codes for a member of the CHD family of ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling factors, is the most commonly mutated gene in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) identified in exome-sequencing studies. Loss of function mutations in the gene have also been found in schizophrenia (SZ) and intellectual disabilities, and affects cancer cell proliferation. To better understanding the molecular links between CHD8 functions and ASD, we have applied the CRISPR/Cas9 technology to knockout (KO) one copy of CHD8 in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and build cerebral organoids, a model for the developing telencephalon. RNA-seq was carried out on KO organoids (CHD8+/-) and isogenic controls (CHD8+/+). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) revealed an enrichment of genes involved in neurogenesis, forebrain development, Wnt/β-catenin signaling and axonal guidance. The SZ and bipolar disorder (BD) candidate gene TCF4 was significantly upregulated. Our CHD8 KO DEGs were significantly overlapped with those found in a transcriptome analysis using cerebral organoids derived from a family with idiopathic ASD and another transcriptome study using iPS cell-derived neurons from patients with BD, a condition characterized in a subgroup of patients by dysregulated WNT/β-catenin signaling. Overall, the findings show that distinct ASD, SZ and BD candidate genes converge on common molecular targets - an important consideration for developing novel therapeutics in genetically heterogeneous complex traits.
