Downregulation of Endothelin Receptor B Contributes to Defective B Cell Lymphopoiesis in Trisomy 21 Pluripotent Cells

ABSTRACT: Individuals with Trisomy 21 (T21) exhibit numerous hematological abnormalities, including reductions in numbers of circulating B and T lymphocytes. To elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying these phenotypes, we differentiated human isogenic disomic and trisomic pluripotent cells, and observed that trisomic cells showed defects in B cell, but not T, cell differentiation. Global gene expression of differentiated, trisomic B cells revealed reduced expression of genes encoding endothelin signaling components, namely the Endothelin Receptor B (Ednrb), and its ligand Endothelin1 (Edn1).. Depletion of Ednrb mRNA in cord blood CD34+ cells led to defective B cell differentiation, supporting an hypothesis that low expression of Ednrb in T21 contributes to intrinsic lymphoid defects. Further evidence for the role of the Ednrb pathway in B cell differentiation was obtained through CRISPR/Cas9 gene targeting in disomic and trisomic iPS cells. Knockout of Ednrb in both cell backgrounds reduced the capacity for B cell differentiation. Collectively, this work identifies downregulation of Ednrb as a causative factor for impaired B lymphocyte generation in trisomic cells, which may contribute to defects in immune function associated with T21. Furthermore, a novel role for endothelin signaling in regulation of B cell development has been identified.

Down Syndrome Induced Senescence Disrupts the Nuclear Architecture of Neural Progenitors

Project description:We utilized human derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and iPSC derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) from individuals with Down syndrome and sex matched controls to interrogate the cell type consequences of trisomy 21 (T21). We report the consequences of T21 on the spatial chromatin organization (Hi-C), lamina-associated domains (ChIP-seq), chromatin state (ATAC-seq), and transcriptome (RNA-seq) in an isogenic pair (euploid: Iso-E and trisomic: Iso-T cells derived from the same individual), pair of male individuals with euploid (Ma-E) and trisomic (Ma-T), pair of female individuals with euploid (Fe-E) and trisomic (Fe-T). Our findings show that T21 induces chromosomal introversion, disrupts lamina-associated domains (LADs) and alters the genome-wide chromatin-accessibility of NPCs but not iPSCs. While the overall organization of A/B compartments and location of TAD-boundaries are conserved in NPCs harboring T21, we observe loss of chromatin-accessibility within the A-compartment that is associated with transcriptional downregulation, and increased long-range chromatin interactions in the B-compartment that is associated with transcriptional upregulation. We find that these architectural changes are similar to those observed in senescent cells, and our transcriptional analysis confirms that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identified in NPCs harboring T21 are highly correlated with DEGs identified in oxidative stress induced senescent cells. Finally, we demonstrate that the senolytic drug combination of dasatinib and quercetin alleviates the genome-wide transcriptional disruption, as well as deficits in cellular migration and proliferation observed in NPCs harboring T21.

Single cell transcriptome in aneuploidies reveals mechanisms of gene dosage imbalance

Project description:Aneuploidy is a major source of gene dosage imbalance due to copy number alterations (CNA) and viable human trisomies are model disorders of altered gene expression. We studied gene and allele specific expression (ASE) of 9668 single-cell fibroblasts from T21 discordant twins and from mosaic T21, T18, T13 and T8. We examined 928 single cells with deep scRNAseq. Expected and observed overexpression of trisomic genes in trisomic vs. diploid bulk RNAseq was not detectable in trisomic vs. diploid single cells. Instead, for trisomic genes with low-to-average expression, their altered gene dosage was mainly due to the higher fraction of trisomic cells simultaneously expressing these genes, in agreement with a stochastic 2-state burst-like model of transcription. These results, confirmed in a further analysis of 8740 single fibroblasts, suggest that the specific transcriptional profile of each gene contributes to the phenotypic variability of trisomies. We propose an improved model to understand the effects of CNA and, more generally, of gene regulation on gene dosage imbalance.

Domains of genomewide gene expression dysregulation in Down syndrome [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Trisomy 21 (T21) is the most frequent genetic cause of cognitive impairment. To assess the perturbations of gene expression in T21, and to eliminate the noise of the genomic variability, we studied the transcriptome of fetal fibroblasts from a pair of monozygotic twins discordant for T21. Here we show that the differential expression between the twins is organized in domains along all chromosomes that are either up- or downregulated. These gene expression dysregulation domains (GEDDs) can be defined by the expression level of their gene content, and are well conserved in induced pluripotent stem cells derived from the twins’ fibroblasts. Comparison of the transcriptome of the Ts65Dn mouse model of DS and wild-type, also showed GEDDs along the mouse chromosomes that were syntenic in human. The GEDDs correlate with the lamina-associated (LADs) and replication domains of mammalian cells. The overall LADs position was not altered in trisomic cells. However, the H3K4me3 profile of the trisomic fibroblasts was modified and accurately followed the GEDD pattern. These results suggest that the nuclear compartments of trisomic cells undergo modifications of the chromatin environment influencing the overall transcriptome and that GEDDs may therefore contribute to some T21 phenotypes.
