Impaired oxysterol-liver X receptor signaling underlies aberrant cortical neurogenesis in a stem cell model of neurodevelopmental disorder

ABSTRACT: The mechanisms by which genomic risks contribute to the onset of neuropsychiatric conditions remain a key challenge and a prerequisite for successful development of effective therapies. 15q11.2 copy number variation (CNV) containing the CYFIP1 gene is associated with autism and schizophrenia. Using stem cell models, we show that 15q11.2 deletion (15q11.2del) and CYFIP1 loss of function (CYFIP1-LoF) lead to premature neuronal differentiation, while CYFIP1 gain of function (CYFIP1-GoF) favors neural progenitor maintenance. CYFIP1 dosage changes led to dysregulated cholesterol metabolism and altered levels of 24S,25-epoxycholesterol, which can mimic the 15q11.2del and CYFIP1-LoF phenotypes by promoting cortical neuronal differentiation and can restore the impaired neuronal differentiation of CYFIP1-GoF neural progenitors. Moreover, the neurogenic activity of 24S,25-epoxycholesterol is lost following genetic deletion of liver X receptor (LXRβ), while compound deletion of LXRβ in CYFIP1-/- background rescued their premature neurogenesis. This work delineates LXR-mediated oxysterol regulation of neurogenesis as a pathological mechanism in neural cells carrying 15q11.2 CNV and provides a potential target for therapeutic strategies for associated disorders.

Reduced CYFIP1 in human neural progenitors as 15q11.2 deletion model: donor specific dysregulation of schizophrenia/epilepsy genes

Project description:Deletions at 15q11.2 have been established to increase risk for multiple neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) including schizophrenia and epilepsy, yet show variable expressivity between individuals. To investigate the potential role of CYFIP1, a gene within the locus, we carried out knockdown experiments in human neural progenitor cells derived from 15q11.2 neutral induced pluripotent stem cells. Transcriptional profiling and cellular assays support a prominent role for CYFIP1 in cytoskeletal remodeling across all lines examined. Validating the utility of this model for study of disease, genes implicated in schizophrenia and epilepsy but not other disorders or traits unrelated to the deletion, were enriched among mRNAs dysregulated following knockdown. Importantly, and consistent with the variable expressivity of 15q11.2 deletions, the magnitude of disease-related effects varied between donor lines. Towards mechanisms, FMRP targets and synaptic genes were overrepresented among dysregulated mRNAs and as such may contribute to the schizophrenia and epilepsy effects we observe. Further model validation, and new candidate epilepsy genes, comes from machine-learning analyses showing a striking similarity between a subset of dysregulated transcripts and well-established epilepsy genes. Results provide support for an important contribution of CYFIP1 in 15q11.2 mediated risk for NDDs and demonstrate that disease-related biological signatures are evident prior to neuronal differentiation. This new human model of disease will be useful in identifying compounds that could ameliorate outcomes in deletion carriers.

CYFIP1 dosages exhibit divergent behavioral impact via diametric regulation of NMDAR complex translation in mouse models of psychiatric disorders

Project description:Gene dosage imbalance caused by copy number variations (CNVs) are prominent contributors to brain disorders. 15q11.2 CNV duplications and deletions have been associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ), respectively. The mechanism underlying these diametric contributions remain unclear. Here we established both loss-of-function and gain-of-function mouse models of Cyfip1, one of four genes within 15q11.2 CNVs and these mice exhibited both distinct and shared behavioral abnormalities related to ASD and SCZ. RIP-seq analysis identified mRNA targets of CYFIP1 in vivo, including postsynaptic NMDAR complex components. These mouse models showed diametric changes in levels of postsynaptic NMDAR complex components at synapses due to dysregulated protein translation, resulting in bidirectional alteration of NMDAR-mediated signaling. Importantly, pharmacological balancing of NMDAR signaling in mouse models with diametric CYFIP1 dosages rescues behavioral abnormalities. Our integrated analyses provide insight into how gene dosage imbalance caused by CNVs may contribute to divergent neuropsychiatric disorders.

hCyfip1 overexpression in the basolateral amygdala of mice

Project description:CYFIP1, a protein that interacts with FMRP and regulates protein synthesis and actin dynamics, is over-expressed in Dup15q syndrome as well as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While CYFIP1 heterozygosity has been rigorously studied due to its loss in 15q11.2 deletion, Prader-Willi and Angelman syndrome, the effects of CYFIP1 over-expression, as is observed in patients with CYFIP1 duplication are less well understood. Here, we developed a mouse model of human CYFIP1 overexpression (CYFIP1 OE) to study the effects of excess CYFIP1 on rodent behavior and biological pathways. Extensive behavioral testing of CYFIP1 OE mice reveals no changes in the core behaviors related to ASD: social interactions and repetitive behaviors. However, we did observe mild learning deficits and an exaggerated fear response. Using RNA sequencing of the basolateral amygdala, a region associated with fear response, we observed changes in pathways related to cytoskeletal regulation, oligodendrocytes and myelination. We also identified GABA-A subunit composition changes in BLA neurons which are part of the fear conditioning neuronal circuit. Overall, this research identifies the behavioral and molecular consequences of CYFIP1 overexpression and how they contribute to the variable phenotype seen in Dup15q syndrome and in ASD patients with excess CYFIP1.

TDP-43 Neurotoxicity in late D. melanogaster pupae

Project description:The aim of this study is to understand the mechanisms of TDP-43 neurotoxicity. Here, we perform a RNA-Seq analysis in TDP-43 gain-of-fucntion (GOF) , TDP-43 loss-of-function and wild-type late pupae heads (73-90 hours APF) and perform TDP-43 GOF vs wild type and TDP-43 LOF vs wild-type differential expression analysis to show that both mechanisms presents defects in ecdysone receptor (ECR)-dependeint transcriptional program switching, and strongly deregulate expression from the neuronal microtubule associated protien Map205. RNA-seq was performed in two wild-type D.melanogaster biological replicates (Canton S, w1118 ), four biological replicates for TDP-43 (LOF) with two distinct genotypes (dTDP-43Δ142/Df(2R)106,dTDP-43Δ23/Δ142 ) and two TDP-43 GOF biological replicates (act5c>dTDP-43 ).

Gain and loss of function variants in EZH1 disrupt neurogenesis and cause dominant and recessive neurodevelopmental disorders [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Genetic disruption of chromatin regulators is frequently found in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). While chromatin regulators are attractive therapeutic targets, studies to determine their implication in the etiology of NDDs are limited, preventing advances in diagnosis and treatment strategies. Here, we uncover pathogenic variants in the chromatin modifier Enhancer of Zeste Homologue 1 (EZH1) as the cause of overlapping dominant and recessive NDDs in 19 individuals. EZH1 encodes one of the two alternative histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) methyltransferases of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2). Unlike the other PRC2 subunits, which are associated with the pathogenesis of human cancers and developmental disorders with overgrowth, the implication of EZH1 in human development and disease is largely unknown. Using cellular models and biochemical studies, we demonstrate that EZH1 variants identified in our study alter EZH1 molecularly. While recessive variants are EZH1 loss of function (LOF) variants that impair EZH1 expression, dominant variants are all missense mutations that affect evolutionarily conserved aminoacids likely impacting EZH1 structure or function. Accordingly, we found increased H3K27 methyltransferase activity for two EZH1 missense variants we tested, thus generating EZH1 gain of function (GOF) variants. Furthermore, we show that EZH1 is necessary and sufficient to differentiate neural stem cells in the developing chick embryo neural tube. Finally, using human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived neural cultures and forebrain organoids, we demonstrate that EZH1 LOF and GOF variation perturbs cortical projection neuron differentiation. Our work identifies EZH1 LOF and GOF variants as the genetic basis of previously undefined recessives and dominant NDDs and uncovers an essential role of EZH1 in regulating neurogenesis.

Identification of KIL1 targets via RNA-Seq in Zea mays

Project description:To understand how the NAC transcription factor KIL1 regulates age-induced senescence and cell death in maize silks, we need to get a genome-wide view on its downstream targets. We propose to compare the transcriptome profiles of GOF and LOF transgenic silk tissue with the profile of wild-type B104 silk. 1 cm of basal part of silk from rings 6-10 from plants harboring the dominant-negative repressor proSILK1:KIL1-SRDX, proSILK1:KIL1 overexpressing line, and wild type B104 will be harvested at 11 DASE. This will allow to compare and contrast the expression profiles of KIL1 LOF and GOF mutants with transcriptome data derived from wild type senescent silk.
