Cortical organoids model early brain development disrupted by 16p11.2 CNV in autism

ABSTRACT: Reciprocal deletion and duplication of 16p11.2 is the most common copy number variation (CNV) associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental disorders, and has significant effect on brain size. We used cortical organoids derived from ASD cases to investigate neurodevelopmental pathways dysregulated by dosage changes of 16p11.2 CNV. We show that organoids recapitulate patients’ macrocephaly and microcephaly phenotypes. Deletions and duplications have “mirror” effects on cell proliferation, maturation and synapse number, consistent with “mirror” effects on brain development in humans. Neuronal migration was decreased in both, deletion and duplication organoids. Transcriptomic and proteomic profiling revealed synaptic defects and neuronal migration as key drivers of 16p11.2 functional effect. We implicate upregulation of small GTPase RhoA involved in regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics, neuron migration and neurite outgrowth as one of the pathways impacted by the 16p11.2 CNV in ASD. Treatment with the RhoA inhibitor Rhosin rescued neuron migration, but not synaptic defects. This study identifies pathways dysregulated by the 16p11.2 CNV during early neocortical development using cortical organoid models.

Transcriptome Profiling of patients with 16p11.2 rearrangements

Project description:The 600kb BP4-BP5 16p11.2 CNV (copy number variant) is associated with neuroanatomical, neurocognitive and metabolic disorders. These recurrent rearrangements are associated with reciprocal phenotypes such as obesity and underweight, macro- and microcephaly, as well as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia. Here we interrogated the transcriptome of individuals carrying reciprocal CNVs in 16p11.2. The genome-wide transcript perturbations correlated with clinical endophenotypes of the CNV and were enriched for genes associated with ASD. We uncovered a significant correlation between copy number changes and expression levels of genes mutated in ciliopathies. Transcriptome profiles of lymphoblastoid cell lines of 50 16p11.2 deletion carriers, 31 16p11.2 duplication carriers and 17 controls.

Cerebral organoids model neocortical development disrupted by 16p11.2 CNV in autism

Project description:The 16p11.2 is the most common copy number variant (CNV) associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We used patient-derived cerebral organoids to investigate neurodevelopmental pathways dysregulated by dosage changes of 16p11.2 CNV. To investigate molecular dysregulation in DEL and DUP organoids, we carried out RNA sequencing and Tandem Mass Tag mass spectrometry (TMT-MS) on 1-month and 3-month organoids from the same samples. In proteomic analyses, we quantified a total of 6126 proteins in 1-month and 5481 proteins in 3-month organoids, with 13 and 11 proteins from within 16p11.2 CNV, respectively. Transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of organoids identifies the key drivers of functional effect by 16p11.2 CNV during neocortical development.

Genome-wide molecular effects of the neuropsychiatric 16p11 CNVs in an iPSC-iN neuronal model

Project description:Copy number variants (CNVs), either deletions or duplications, at the 16p11.2 locus in the human genome are known to increase the risk for autism spectrum disorders (ASD), schizophrenia, and for several other developmental conditions. Here, we investigate the global effects on gene expression and DNA methylation using a 16p11.2 CNV patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) to induced neuron (iN) cell model system. This approach revealed genome-wide alterations to both gene expression and to DNA methylation patterns and also yielded specific leads on genes potentially contributing to some of the known 16p11.2 patient phenotypes. Specifically, PCSK9 is identified as a possible contributing factor in the development of facial abnormalities, as well as the reciprocal head circumference and body mass index (BMI) phenotypes seen in the deletion and duplication patients. Additionally, the protocadherin (PCDH) gene family is found to have significantly altered methylation patterns in the CNV patient samples.

Reversal of synaptic and behavioral deficits in a 16p11.2 duplication mouse model via restoration of the GABA synapse regulator Npas4

Project description:The human 16p11.2 gene locus is a hot spot for copy number variations, which predispose carriers to a range of neuropsychiatric phenotypes. Microduplications of 16p11.2 are associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disability (ID), and schizophrenia (SZ). Despite the debilitating nature of 16p11.2 duplications, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we performed a comprehensive behavioral characterization of 16p11.2 duplication mice (16p11.2dp/+) and identified social and cognitive deficits reminiscent of ASD and ID phenotypes. 16p11.2dp/+ mice did not exhibit the SZ-related sensorimotor gating deficits, psychostimulant-induced hypersensitivity, or motor impairment. Electrophysiological recordings of 16p11.2dp/+ mice found deficient GABAergic synaptic transmission and elevated neuronal excitability in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), a brain region critical for social and cognitive functions. RNA-sequencing identified genome-wide transcriptional aberrance in the PFC of 16p11.2dp/+ mice, including downregulation of the GABA synapse regulator Npas4. Restoring Npas4 expression in PFC of 16p11.2dp/+ mice ameliorated the social and cognitive deficits and reversed GABAergic synaptic impairment and neuronal hyperexcitability. These findings suggest that prefrontal cortical GABAergic synaptic circuitry and Npas4 are strongly implicated in 16p11.2 duplication pathology, and may represent potential targets for therapeutic intervention in ASD.

Use of clinical chromosomal microarray in Chinese patients with autism spectrum disorder - implications of a copy number variation involving dpp10 (CGX-12)

Project description:Background: Array-Comparative-Genomic-Hybridization (aCGH) is recommended as first-tier genetic test for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, result interpretation can be challenging as copy number variants (CNVs) in non-European ASD patients is not well studied. To address this literature gap, we report the CNV findings in a cohort of Chinese children with ASD. Methods DNA samples were obtained from 258 Chinese ASD patients recruited from a child assessment center between January 2011 and August 2014. aCGH was performed using NimbleGen-CGX-135k or Agilent-CGX 60k oligonucleotide array. Results were classified based on existing guidelines and literature. Results: Ten pathogenic and one likely-pathogenic CNVs were found in nine patients, with an overall diagnostic yield of 3.5%. A 138kb duplication involving 3â exons of DPP10 (hg[19]chr2:116534689-116672358), reported to be associated with ASD, was identified in one patient (0.39%). The same CNV was reported as variant of unknown significance (VUS) in DECIPHER database. Multiple individuals of typical development carrying a similar duplication were identified amongst our ancestry-matched control with frequency of 6/653 (0.92%) as well as from literature and genomic databases. Conclusions: DPP10 duplication is likely a benign CNV polymorphism enriched in Southern Chinese with population frequency of ~1%. This highlights the importance of using ancestry-matched controls in interpretation of aCGH findings.

Dosage-dependent phenotypes in models of 16p11.2 lesions found in autism

Project description:Recurrent Copy Number Variations (CNVs) of human 16p11.2 have been associated with a variety of developmental/neurocognitive syndromes. In particular, deletion of 16p11.2 is found in patients with autism, developmental delay, and obesity. Patients with deletions or duplications have a wide range of clinical features, and siblings carrying the same deletion often have diverse symptoms. To study the consequence of 16p11.2 CNVs in a systematic manner, we used chromosome engineering to generate mice harboring deletion of the chromosomal region corresponding to 16p11.2, as well as mice harboring the reciprocal duplication. These 16p11.2 CNV models have dosage-dependent changes in gene expression, viability, brain architecture, and behavior. For each phenotype, the consequence of the deletion is more severe than that of the duplication. Of particular note is that half of the 16p11.2 deletion mice die postnatally; those that survive to adulthood are healthy and fertile, but have alterations in the hypothalamus and exhibit a ‘behavior trap’ phenotype—a specific behavior characteristic of rodents with lateral hypothalamic and nigrostriatal lesions. Our findings indicate that 16p11.2 CNVs cause both brain and behavioral anomalies, providing new insight into human neurodevelopmental disorders.

Vascular contribution to 16p11.2 deletion autism syndrome modeled in mice

Project description:While the neuronal underpinnings of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are being unraveled, vascular contributions to ASD remain elusive. Here, we investigated postnatal cerebrovascular development in the 16p11.2df/+ mouse model of 16p11.2 deletion ASD syndrome. We discovered that 16p11.2 hemizygosity leads to male-specific, endothelium-dependent structural and functional neurovascular abnormalities. In 16p11.2df/+ mice, endothelial dysfunction resulted in impaired cerebral angiogenesis at postnatal day (P) 14, and in altered neurovascular coupling and cerebrovascular reactivity at P50. Moreover, we showed defective angiogenesis in primary 16p11.2df/+ mouse brain endothelial cells and in iPSC-derived endothelial cells from human 16p11.2 deletion carriers. Finally, we found that mice with endothelium-specific 16p11.2 deletion (16p11.2DEC) partially recapitulated some behavioral changes seen in 16p11.2 syndrome, specifically hyperactivity and impaired motor learning. By showing that developmental 16p11.2 haploinsufficiency from endothelial cells results in neurovascular and behavioral changes in adults, our results point to a potential role for endothelial impairment in ASD.

Tissue and cell-type specific molecular and functional signatures of 16p11.2 reciprocal genomic disorder across mouse brain and human neuronal models.

Project description:Chromosome 16p11.2 reciprocal genomic disorder due to recurrent copy number variants (CNVs) involves intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and schizophrenia but the responsible mechanisms are not known. To systemically dissect molecular effects, we performed transcriptome profiling of 350 libraries from six tissues (cortex, cerebellum, striatum, liver, brown fat, white fat) in mouse models harboring CNVs of the syntenic 7qF3 region, as well as cellular, transcriptional, and single-cell analyses in 54 isogenic neural stem cell, induced neuron, and cerebral organoid models of CRISPR-engineered 16p11.2 CNVs. Transcriptome-wide differentially expressed genes were largely tissue, cell-type, and dosage specific, though more effects were shared between deletion and duplication and across tissue than expected by chance. The broadest effects were observed in the cerebellum (2163 differentially expressed genes) and the greatest enrichments were associated with synaptic pathways in mouse cerebellum and human induced neurons. Pathway and co-expression analyses identified energy and RNA metabolism as shared processes and enrichment for ASD-associated/loss-of-function constraint/FMRP gene sets. Intriguingly, reciprocal 16p11.2 dosage changes resulted in consistent decrements in neurite and electrophysiological features, while single-cell profiling of organoids showed reciprocal alterations to the proportions of excitatory and inhibitory GABAergic neurons. Both neuronal ratios and gene expression changes in our organoid analyses point most directly to calretinin GABAergic inhibitory neurons and the excitatory/inhibitory balance as targets of disruption in 16p11.2 carriers that may contribute to changes in neurodevelopmental and cognitive function. Collectively, our data indicate the genomic disorder involves disruption of multiple contributing biological processes, with relative impacts that are context-specific.
