ChIP-seq of HTT protein in mouse cortex following HTT knockdown

ABSTRACT: Progressive striatal gene expression changes and epigenetic alterations are a prominent feature of Huntington’s disease (HD), but direct relationships between the huntingtin (HTT) protein and chromatin remain poorly described. Here, using chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq), we show that HTT reproducibly occupies specific locations in the mouse genome, including thousands of genomic loci that are differentially occupied in striatal tissue from a knock-in mouse model of the HD mutation (B6.HttQ111/+) versus wildtype controls. ChIP-seq of histone modifications, generated in parallel, revealed genotype-specific colocalization of HTT with trimethylation of histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3), a repressive chromatin mark. Near genes that are differentially regulated in HD, greater HTT occupancy in HttQ111/+ vs. wildtype mice predicted increased H3K27me3, reduced histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3), a marker of poised and active promoters, and down-regulated gene expression. Altered huntingtin-chromatin interactions may therefore play a direct role in driving transcriptional dysregulation in HD.

ChIP-seq of histone modifications and EZH2 in the striatum of four-month-old HttQ111/+ and wildtype mice

Molecular and cellular consequences of genetic knockout of Hdac2 and Hdac3 in striatal medium spiny neurons of Huntington's disease knock-in mice

Project description:Somatic expansion of the Huntington’s disease (HD) CAG repeat drives the rate of a pathogenic process resulting in neuronal cell death. Although mechanisms of neuronal toxicity are not well delineated, transcriptional dysregulation is a likely contributor. Chromatin modifiers are implicated in both mechanisms of CAG instability and transcriptional dysregulation. Here, we tested whether histone deacetylase genes Hdac2 and Hdac3 modify molecular and cellular phenotypes in HttQ111 knock-in mice using conditional knockouts in striatal medium-spiny striatal neurons (MSNs) exhibiting extensive CAG expansion and exquisite disease vulnerability. MSN-specific Hdac2 or Hdac3 knockout attenuated CAG expansion, with the Hdac2 knockout impacting nuclear huntingtin pathology. Hdac2 knockout resulted in a substantial transcriptional response that included reversal of transcriptional dysregulation elicited by the HttQ111 allele. Our results identify novel modifiers of CAG expansion in MSNs, providing testable mechanistic hypotheses, and a potentially complex relationship between Htt and Hdac2 with implications for targeting transcriptional dysregulation in HD.

Genome-scale chromatin interaction data for huntingtin from mouse striatal tissue

Project description:Transcriptional changes are an early feature of Huntington's disease (HD). We profiled genome-wide interaction sites for the huntingtin protein (HTT) using ChIP-sequencing from mouse striatal tissue at 4 months of age. We include replicate samples from CAG-expanded murine Htt (heterozygous Q111/+) and wildtype littermate controls.

Peripheral huntingtin silencing does not ameliorate central signs of disease in the B6.HttQ111/+ mouse model of Huntington’s disease

Project description:Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease whose predominant neuropathological signature is the selective loss of medium spiny neurons in the striatum. Despite this selective neuropathology, the mutant protein (huntingtin) is found in virtually every cell so far studied, and, consequently, phenotypes are observed in a wide range of organ systems both inside and outside the central nervous system. We, and others, have suggested that peripheral dysfunction could contribute to the rate of progression of striatal phenotypes of HD. To test this hypothesis, we lowered levels of huntingtin by treating mice with antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) targeting the murine Huntingtin gene. To study the relationship between peripheral huntingtin levels and striatal HD phenotypes, we utilized a knock-in model of the human HD mutation (the B6.HttQ111/+ mouse). We treated mice with ASOs from 2-10 months of age, a time period over which significant HD-relevant signs progressively develop in the brains of HttQ111/+ mice. Peripheral treatment with ASOs led to persistent reduction of huntingtin protein in peripheral organs, including liver (64% knockdown), brown adipose (66% knockdown), and white adipose tissues (71% knockdown). This reduction was not associated with alterations in the severity of HD-relevant signs in the striatum of HttQ111/+ mice at the end of the study, including transcriptional dysregulation, the accumulation of neuronal intranuclear inclusions, and behavioral changes such as subtle hypoactivity and reduced exploratory drive. These results suggest that the amount of peripheral reduction achieved in the current study does not significantly impact the progression of HD-relevant signs in the central nervous system.

G3BP1-dependent suppression of polyglutamine aggregation in Huntington’s models and its failure upon stress granule formation

Project description:To define the interactome of huntingtin protein (HTT) in human neurons, we assessed interactors of HTT with coimmunoprecipitation experiments with huntingtin antibody or polyqlutamine antibody (it only recognizes mutant huntingtin protein with abnormal polyqlutamine expansion) in striatal neurons differentiated from control and patient-derived iPSC lines (HD-iPSCs). GFP antibody used as a negative control.

Mono and biallelic inactivation of Huntingtin gene in patient-specific iPS cells reveal HTT roles in striatal development and in neuronal functions impaired in Huntington’s disease

Project description:Mutations in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene cause Huntington disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disorder. While HTT is known to be involved, as a scaffold protein, in several cellular functions, its normal and pathogenic functions during the development of the human forebrain remain poorly understood. To investigate the roles of wild-type and mutant HTT alleles during human neural and striatal development we inactivated HTT alleles in a series of isogenic clones of a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line derived from a patient with HD. We show that the loss of wild-type, mutant, or both HTT isoforms did not affect the pluripotency of iPSCs or their transition into neural cells. However, we observed that HTT loss caused division impairments in forebrain neuro-epithelial cells. Moreover, HTT-/- derivatives displayed impaired maturation of medium spiny neurons (MSNs) particularly in the acquisition of DARPP32 expression, a key functional marker of MSNs. Finally, we discovered that MSNs and cortical neurons derived from HTT-/- clones exhibited higher levels of baseline DNA damage and lower BDNF axonal transport, two cellular dysfunctions previously described in HD neurons.

Impaired inhibitory GABAergic synaptic transmission and transcription studied in single neurons by Patch-seq in Huntington’s disease

Project description:Transcriptional dysregulation in Huntington’s disease (HD) causes functional deficits in striatal neurons. Here, we performed Patch-seq in an in vitro HD model to investigate the effects of mutant huntingtin (Htt) on synaptic transmission and gene transcription in single striatal neurons. We found that expression of mutant Htt decreased the synaptic output of striatal neurons in a cell autonomous fashion and identified a number of genes, whose dysregulation was correlated with physiological deficiencies in mutant Htt neurons. In support of a pivotal role for epigenetic mechanisms in HD pathophysiology, we found that inhibiting histone deacetylase 1/3 activities rectified several functional and morphological deficits and alleviated the aberrant transcriptional profiles in mutant Htt neurons. With this study, we demonstrate that Patch-seq technology can be applied both to better understand molecular mechanisms underlying a complex neurological disease at single-cell level and to provide a platform for screening for therapeutics for the disease.

Experimental replacement therapy counters decreased IGF-1 levels in Huntington’s disease

Project description:Huntington’s disease (HD) is a monogenetic neurodegenerative disorder caused by the expansion of a polyglutamine (polyQ) stretch in huntingtin (htt). Here we show that mutant htt reduces the transcription of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and leads to loss of IGF-1 in HD brains, HD mouse models and mutant htt-transgenic microglial cells. IGF-1 replacement therapy by transplantation of genetically engineered mouse neuronal precursor cells (mNPCs) in a mouse model of HD reverted the motor phenotype and countered striatal neuronal loss.

PTMs of HTT protein - Post-translational modifications (PTMs), identified on endogenous huntingtin, cluster within proteolytic domains between HEAT repeats

Project description:Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins regulate various cellular processes. PTMs of polyglutamine-expanded huntingtin (Htt) protein, causative of Huntington’s disease (HD), are likely modulators of HD pathogenesis. Previous studies have identified and characterized several PTMs on exogenously expressed Htt fragments, however none of these studies were designed to systematically characterize PTMs on the endogenous full-length Htt protein.We found that full-length endogenous Htt, immunoprecipitated from HD knock-in mouse and human post mortem brain, is suitable for detection of PTMs by mass spectrometry. Using label-free mass spectrometry, we identified around 40 PTMs, of which half are novel. These findings will be instrumental in the further assembling the Htt PTM framework, and validate PTMs of Htt as promising therapeutic targets for HD.

HTT-OMNI: A Web-based Platform for Huntingtin Interaction Exploration and Multi-omics Data Integration

Project description:We have developed a web-based platform for HTT PPI visualization, exploration, and multi-omic integration called HTT-OMNI. We demonstrate the utility of this platform not only for exploring and filtering existing huntingtin (HTT) PPIs, but also for investigating user-generated omics datasets. For example, we demonstrate the comparison of a published HTT IP-MS experiment, performed in the striatum brain region of a mouse HD model, to unpublished HTT IP-MS experiments in the cortex brain region. Overall, HTT-OMNI summarizes and integrates known HTT PPIs with polyQ-dependent transcriptome and proteome measurements, providing an all-in-one exploratory platform that facilitates the prioritization of target genes that may contribute to HD pathogenesis.
