Timecourse of epileptogenesis in an TSC1 inducible mouse model

ABSTRACT: To determine how the loss of TSC induces epileptogenesis, we made use of an inducible Tsc1 knock-out mouse model. Tsc1 was homozygously deleted in all CAMK2A positive neurons. Hippocampal tissue was collected at different time points after gene deletion and during epileptogenesis, of mice of both sexes. Also, mice treated with 10mg/kg rapamycin were included in the experiment. Using RNA-seq analysis, we identified differentially expressed genes encoding either ion channel and/or genes belonging to the GO-term ‘action potential’. Of these genes, 50% were already significantly dysregulated before or just around seizure onset, suggesting that these genes could be driver genes of epileptogenesis. Of the genes encoding ion channels or belonging to the Gene Ontology term action potential, 27 were differentially expressed just before seizure onset, suggesting a potential driving role in epileptogenesis. Our data highlight the complex changes driving epileptogenesis in TSC, including the changed expression of multiple ion channels. Our study emphasizes inhibition of the TSC/mTOR signaling pathway as a promising therapeutic approach to target epilepsy in patients with TSC.

Drosophila S2R+ / TSC1 / TSC2 mutant phosphoproteomics

Project description:The tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) family of tumor suppressors, TSC1 and TSC2, function together in an evolutionarily conserved protein complex that is a point of convergence for major cell signaling pathways that regulate mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1). Mutation or aberrant inhibition of the TSC complex is common in various human tumor syndromes and cancers. The discovery of novel therapeutic strategies to selectively target cells with functional loss of this complex is therefore of substantial clinical relevance to TSC and sporadic cancers. We developed a CRISPR-based method to generate homogenous mutant Drosophila cell lines. By combining TSC1 and TSC2 mutant cell lines with RNAi screens against all kinases and phosphatases, we identified synthetic interactions with TSC1 and TSC2. Knockdown of three candidate genes (mRNA-cap, Pitslre and CycT; orthologs of RNGTT, CDK11 and CCNT1 in humans) reduced the population growth rate of both Drosophila TSC1 and TSC2 mutant cells but not that of wild-type cells. Moreover, knockdown of all three genes displayed similar selective effects in mammalian TSC2-deficient cell lines, including human tumor-derived cells, illustrating the power of this cross species screening strategy to identify potential drug targets.

Tumors with TSC mutations are sensitive to CDK7 inhibition through NRF2 and glutathione depletion

Project description:We report the global gene expression effects in TSC-deficient and TSC wild type cells after treatemnet with. CDK7 inhibitor(THZ1), we performed RNA-Seq on TSC1-null HCV.29 cells and TSC1-intact HCV.29 cells treated with 30nM THZ1, and with 100nM THZ1, for 6 hours. Many genes showed marked changes in expression in comparison with control untreated cells. Furthermore, 1128 genes showed > 5-fold lower expression in 30nM THZ1-treated TSC1-null HCV.29 cells compared with 30nM THZ1-treated TSC1-intact HCV.29 cells.

Rapamycin and dexamethasone during pregnancy prevents tuberous sclerosis complex associated cystic kidney disease

Project description:Chronic kidney disease is the main cause of mortality in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex disease (TSC). The mechanisms underlying TSC cystic kidney disease remain unclear with no available interventions to prevent cyst formation. Using targeted deletion of TSC1 in nephron progenitor cells, we showed that cysts in TSC1 null embryonic kidneys originate from injured proximal tubular cells with high mTOR complex 1 activity. Injection of rapamycin to pregnant mice inhibited the mTOR pathway and tubular cell proliferation in kidneys of TSC1 null offspring. Rapamycin also prevented renal cystogenesis and prolonged the life span of TSC newborns. Gene expression analysis of proximal tubule cells, identified sets of genes and pathways that were modified secondary to TSC1 deletion and rescued by rapamycin administration during nephrogenesis. Inflammation with mononuclear infiltration was observed in the cystic areas of TSC1 null kidneys. Dexamethasone administration during pregnancy decreased cyst formation not only by inhibiting the inflammatory response but also by interfering with the mTORC1 pathway. These results reveal novel mechanisms of cystogenesis in TSC disease and suggest new interventions prior to birth to ameliorate cystic disease in offspring.

Molecular alterations in areas generating fast ripples in an animal model of temporal lobe epilepsy

Project description:The molecular basis of epileptogenesis is poorly characterized. Studies in humans and animal models have identified an electrophysiological signature that precedes the onset of epilepsy, which has been termed fast ripples (FRs) based on its frequency. Multiple lines of evidence implicate regions generating FRs in epileptogenesis, and FRs appear to demarcate the seizure onset zone, suggesting a role in ictogenesis as well. We performed gene expression analysis comparing areas of the dentate gyrus that generate FRs to those that do not generate FRs in a well-characterized rat model of epilepsy. We identified a small cohort of genes that are differentially expressed in FR versus non-FR brain tissue and used quantitative PCR to validate some of those that modulate neuronal excitability. Gene expression network analysis demonstrated conservation of gene co-expression between non-FR and FR samples, but examination of gene connectivity revealed changes that were most pronounced in the cm-40 module, which contains several genes associated with synaptic function and the differentially expressed genes Kcna4, Kcnv1, and Npy1r that are down-regulated in FRs. We then demonstrate that the genes within the cm-40 module are regulated by seizure activity and enriched for the targets of the RNA binding protein Elavl4. Our data suggest that seizure activity induces co-expression of genes associated with synaptic transmission and that this pattern is attenuated in areas displaying FRs, implicating the failure of this mechanism in the generation of FRs. 21 samples, 10 fast ripple areas and 11 paired non-fast ripples areas

SILAC APMS analysis of GFP tagged TSC2 in Hela Cells

Project description:HSP90 and its co-chaperon R2TP are involved to assemble and stabilize many macro-molecular complexes involved in cell proliferation. R2TP complex is composed of RUVBL1 and RUVBL2 AAA+ ATPases and two adapter proteins RPAP3 and PIH1D1. The N-terminal domain of PIH1D1 was described to possess a basic pocket that binds phosphorylated peptides on some of the R2TP clients. Subunits of TSC complex (Tuberous SClerosis) have previously been described in proteomic analysis of proteins immune-precipitated with PIH1D1 N-terminal domain. TSC complex is a regulator of mTOR activity. It is composed of TSC1, TSC2 and TBC1D7 subunits. Here, we show that (i) TSC1 and TSC2 are both substrates of HSP90, (ii) the HSP90/R2TP system has multiple interaction with TSC complex subunits and (iii) it is functionally involved in the assembly of the TSC complex. We found a direct interaction of TSC1 with the phospho-binding pocket of PIH1D1 N-terminal domain regardless of phosphorylationbut in a non-canonical phosphorylation independent manner[XM1] . TSC2 and TBC1D7 would also interact with R2TP but independently of PIH1D1. Taken together, these data suggest that R2TP acts as a platform for the independent recruitment of TSC subunits before the assembly of the TSC complex

Elf5-centered transcription factor hub controls trophoblast stem cell self-renewal and differentiation through stoichiometry-sensitive shifts in target gene networks

Project description:Elf5 is a transcription factor with pivotal roles in the trophoblast compartment where it reinforces a trophoblast stem cell (TSC)-specific transcriptional circuit. However, Elf5 is also present in differentiating trophoblast cells that have ceased to express other TSC genes such as Cdx2 and Eomes. In the current study we aimed to elucidate the context-dependent role of Elf5 at the interface between TSC self-renewal and onset of differentiation. We demonstrate that precise levels of Elf5 are critical for normal expansion of the TSC compartment and embryonic survival, as Elf5 overexpression triggers precocious trophoblast differentiation. Through integration of protein interactome, transcriptome and genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation data we reveal that this abundance-dependent function is mediated through a shift in preferred Elf5 binding partners; in TSCs, Elf5 interaction with Eomes recruits Tfap2c to triply occupied sites at TSC-specific genes driving their expression. By contrast, the Elf5 and Tfap2c interaction becomes predominant as their protein levels increase. This triggers binding to double and single occupancy sites that harbour the cognate Tfap2c motif, causing activation of the associated differentiation-promoting genes. These data place Elf5 at the centre of a stoichiometry-sensitive transcriptional network where it acts as molecular switch governing the balance between TSC proliferation and differentiation.

Neural progenitors derived from Tuberous Sclerosis Complex patients exhibit attenuated PI3K/AKT signaling and delayed neuronal differentiation

Project description:Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a disease caused by autosomal dominant mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, and is characterized by tumor susceptibility, brain lesions, seizures and behavioral impairments. The TSC1 and TSC2 genes encode proteins forming a complex (TSC), which is a major regulator and suppressor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in complex 1 (mTORC1), a signaling complex that promotes cell growth and proliferation. TSC1/2 loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and the subsequent complete loss of TSC regulatory activity in null cells causes mTORC1 dysregulation and TSC-associated brain lesions or other tissue tumors. However, it is not clear whether TSC1/2 heterozygous brain cells are abnormal and contribute to TSC neuropathology. To investigate this issue, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from TSC patients and unaffected controls, and utilized these to obtain neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and differentiated neurons in vitro. These patient-derived TSC2 heterozygous NPCs were delayed in their ability to differentiate into neurons. Patient-derived progenitor cells also exhibited a modest activation of mTORC1 signaling downstream of TSC, and a marked attenuation of upstream PI3K/AKT signaling. We further show that pharmacologic AKT inhibition, but not mTORC1 inhibition, causes a neuronal differentiation delay, mimicking the patient phenotype. Together these data suggest that heterozygous TSC2 mutations disrupt neuronal development, potentially contributing to the disease neuropathology, and that this defect may result from dysregulated AKT signaling in neural progenitor cells.

Proteogenomic characterization of developmental defects in the forebrain resulting from hyperactivated mTOR signaling

Project description:Hyperactivated mTOR signaling in the developing brain by mutation of TSC1 genes has multiple forms of pathology including tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). To examine the downstream networks affected in the developing brain by hyperactivated mTOR signaling, we performed an integrated analysis of transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of forebrain of wild-type and TSC1/Emx1-Cre mouse. Our results provide novel and fundamental molecular bases for understanding hyperactivaed mTOR signaling-induced brain defects which can in turn facilitate identification of potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for mTOR signaling-related neurological disorders.

Integrating transcriptome, proteome, and phosphoproteome analysis reveals loss function of IQGAP2 promotes cell proliferation through the mTOR pathway

Project description:Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disease caused by abnormal of TSC1 or TSC2 gene. Our previous data deduced that IQGAP2 can be one of the genes potentially responsible for non-TSC1 or TSC2 mutation TSC patients. To investigate the pathogenesis of IQGAP2 in TSC, we performed global transcriptome, proteome, and phosphoproteome analyses and found the alter of genes related to mTOR signaling pathway in IQGAP2 knockdown cells. In addition, we found that knockdown of IQGAP2 resulted in increased cell proliferation and enhanced the phosphorylation level of AKT and S6K by functional analysis, meanwhile, the AKT and mTOR inhibitors can partially rescue cell abnormal proliferation by decreasing hyperphosphorylation. Our data revealed a potential connection between mTOR signaling pathway and aberrant cell proliferation in IQGAP2 knockdown cells, and provide a new latent therapeutic strategy for non-TSC1 or TSC2 mutation patients.
