Transcriptome and translatome profiling from brains of a mouse model of severe SMA

ABSTRACT: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the most common genetic cause of infant mortality, with an incidence of around 1 in 6,000-10,000 live births. SMA is caused by low levels of full-length survival of motor neuron protein (SMN). Approximately 95% of SMA cases in humans are caused by homozygous deletion of SMN1, with a smaller number caused by discrete mutations within the gene. In concert with other RNA binding proteins, SMN forms complexes both in the nucleus and the cytoplasm of neurons. As such, SMN protein has housekeeping roles in the assembly of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes. In addition, SMN localises to dendrites, synapses and axons in vivo and in vitro, where it is part of messenger RNP (mRNP) complexes with well-known roles in the transport of mRNA. These cellular processes are tightly linked to local translation, suggesting that SMN may play a pivotal role in its regulation. We employed next generation sequencing (NGS) to identify and quantify RNAs associated with polysomes (POL-Seq) in parallel with total cytoplasmic RNA (RNA-Seq) in an established mouse model of severe SMA at both early and late-symptomatic stages. This approach enables the simultaneous identification of variations in RNA populations at both translatome (RNAs engagement with polysomes) and transcriptome (steady state cytoplasmic RNAs) levels.

SMN deficiency in spinal muscular atrophy causes widespread intron retention and DNA damage

Project description:Spinal muscular atrophy is the leading genetic cause of infant mortality and is caused by homozygous loss of the SMN1 gene. We investigated global transcriptome changes in the spinal cord of inducible SMA mice. SMN depletion caused widespread retention of introns with weak splice sites or belonging to the minor (U12) class. We further demonstrated accumulation of DNA double strand breaks in the spinal cord of SMA mice and in human SMA cell culture models. DNA damage was partially rescued by suppressing the formation of R-loops, which accumulated over retained introns. We propose that instead of single gene effects, pervasive splicing defects caused by SMN deficiency trigger a global DNA damage and stress response, thus compromising motor neuron survival.

Gene expression profiling of LMC and MMC motor neurons in SMA mice

Project description:Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disease which exhibits selective motor neuron death caused by a ubiquitous deficiency of the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. It remains unclear how the ubiquitous reduction of SMN lead to death in selective motor neuron pools. Medial motor neuron columns (MMC) are vulnerable, whereas lateral motor columns (LMC) are resistant to motor neuron death in SMA. Here we performed microarray and pathway analysis comparing cholera toxin subunit B (CTb) labeled vulnerable MMC and resistant LMC of pre-symptomatic SMA with corresponding motor neuron columns of control mice to identify pathways involved in selective motor neuron death in SMA. WT is FVB. SMN is Delta7 (SMNΔ7;SMN2;Smn-) on a FVB background.

Expression profiles of skeletal muscle from Taiwanese Smn-/-;SMN2 spinal muscular atrophy mouse model treated with Pip6a-PMO

Project description:Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by loss of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. While SMN restoration therapies are beneficial, they are not a cure. We aimed to identify novel treatments to alleviate muscle pathology combining transcriptomics, proteomics and perturbational datasets. This revealed potential drug candidates for repurposing in SMA. One of the candidates, harmine, was further investigated in cell and animal models, improving multiple disease phenotypes, including SMN expression and lifespan. Our work highlights the potential of multiple and parallel data driven approaches for the development of novel treatments for use in combination with SMN restoration therapies.

Ribosome profiling of SMN-primed ribosomes and active ribosome profiling from brains of a mouse model of severe SMA

Project description:Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the most common genetic cause of infant mortality, with an incidence of around 1 in 6,000-10,000 live births. SMA is caused by low levels of full-length survival of motor neuron protein (SMN). We demonstrate that SMN binds to ribosomes and that this interaction is tissue-dependent. We performed ribosome profiling analyses on lysates from P5 wild-type mouse brains exposed to RNase I, from which we isolated SMN-primed ribosomes by immunoprecipitation. SMN-primed ribosomes are preferentially positioned within the first five codons of a set of mRNAs which are enriched for translational enhancer sequences in the 5’UTR and rare codons at the beginning of their coding sequence. These SMN-specific mRNAs are associated with neurogenesis, lipid metabolism, ubiquitination, chromatin regulation and translation. Additionally, we analyzed the positioning of active ribosomes using the Active-RiboSeq method based on RiboLace and compared early symptomatic SMA mouse brains to age-matched controls. We found that loss of SMN induces ribosome depletion, especially at the beginning of the coding sequence of SMN-specific mRNAs, leading to impairment of proteins involved in motor neuron function and stability.

Gain of toxic function by long-term SMN overexpression in the sensory-motor circuit.

Project description:The neurodegenerative disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a leading genetic cause of infant death caused by deficiency in the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. Currently approved SMA treatments aim to restore SMN, but the potential for expression of SMN beyond physiological levels is a unique feature of AAV9-SMN gene therapy. Here, we show that long-term AAV9-mediated SMN overexpression in mouse models induces dose-dependent, late-onset motor dysfunction associated with loss of proprioceptive synapses and neurodegeneration. Mechanistically, aggregation of overexpressed SMN in the cytoplasm of motor circuit neurons sequesters components of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), leading to splicing dysregulation and widespread transcriptome abnormalities with prominent signatures of neuroinflammation and innate immune response. Thus, long-term SMN overexpression can interfere with its normal activity in RNA regulation and trigger SMA-like pathogenic events through toxic gain of function mechanisms. These unanticipated, SMN-dependent and neuron-specific liabilities of AAV9-SMN warrant further evaluation of the long-term safety of gene therapy in SMA.

Transcriptomic comparison of Drosophila snRNP biogenesis mutants reveals mutant-specific changes in pre-mRNA processing: implications for Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Project description:RNA-seq analysis of Drosophila snRNP biogenesis mutants. In brief, the Phax and Ars2 mutant RNA-seq was used in combination with Series GSE49587 (Smn mutant and wild-type Oregon-R RNA-seq) to classify transcriptome changes as snRNP-dependent or mutant specific. Additional flies with Smn transgenes, containing Smn mutations that cause Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) in humans, were then used to determine whether the snRNP-dependent or mutant specific changes were present in intermediate models of SMA.

Defective expression of mitochondrial, histone and vesicle genes in a C. elegans SMA model

Project description:Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe congenital motor neuron degenerative disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in the conserved survival motor neuron gene SMN1. SMN is required for the assembly of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes, the core components of the spliceosome and also affects other molecular processes. It is hypothesized that defective gene expression and pre-mRNA splicing underlie SMA. However the immediate target genes of SMN are unclear. We used the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model to study the function of SMN. We analyzed the transcriptome of a C. elegans smn-1 deletion mutant and identified that multiple biological processes were affected. Specifically the expression of numerous mitochondrial genes and vacuolar H+ -ATPase was significantly reduced while the expression of multiple histone genes was significantly increased. We also found that the U2AF large subunit mutation n4588 could ameliorate the defective expression of genes in the mitochondrial and V-ATPase pathways caused by the smn-1 mutation, which is consistent with our previous finding that uaf-1(n4588) could improve the behavior and lifespan of smn-1 mutants. Our study identified key molecular processes affected by SMN and suggests that mitochondrial and V-ATPase dysfunctions might contribute to SMA.

Identification of Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) complexes in Drosophila using affinity purification-mass spectrometry analysis

Project description:Molecular chaperones and co-chaperones are highly conserved cellular components that perform variety of duties related to the proper three-dimensional folding of the proteome. The Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) complex is an RNP assembly chaperone and serves as a paradigm for studying how specific small nuclear (sn)RNAs are identified and paired with their client substrate proteins. SMN forms the oligomeric core of this complex, and missense mutations in its YG box self-interaction domain are known to cause Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). The basic framework for understanding how snRNAs are assembled into U-snRNPs is known, the pathways and mechanisms used by cells to regulate their biogenesis are poorly understood. Given the importance of these processes to normal development as well as neurodegenerative disease, we set out to identify and characterize novel SMN binding partners. Here, we carried out affinity purification mass spectrometry (AP-MS) of SMN using stable fly lines exclusively expressing either wildtype or SMA-causing missense alleles. Bioinformatic analyses of the pulldown data, along with comparisons to proximity labeling studies carried out in human cells, revealed conserved connections to at least two other major chaperone systems including heat shock folding chaperones (HSPs) and histone/nucleosome assembly chaperones.

Quantitative proteomic analysis of Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) missense mutants in Drosophila

Project description:Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a devastating neuromuscular disease caused by hypomorphic loss of function in the Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) protein. SMA presents across broad spectrum of disease severity. Unfortunately, vertebrate models of intermediate SMA have been difficult to generate and are thus unable to address key aspects of disease etiology. To address these issues, we developed a Drosophila model system that recapitulates the full range of SMA severity, allowing studies of pre-onset biology as well as late-stage disease processes. In this study, TMT-based quantitative proteomic profiling was performed on mild and intermediate Drosophila models of SMA to elucidate proteins and pathways that contribute to the disease. Using this approach, we elaborated a role for the SMN complex in the regulation of innate immune signaling.
