Huntington's disease brain-derived small RNAs recapitulate associated neuropathology in mice [Mouse RNA-seq]


ABSTRACT: Progressive motor alterations and selective death of striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs) are key pathological hallmarks of Huntington's disease (HD), a neurodegenerative condition caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the coding region of the huntingtin (HTT) gene. Most research has focused on the pathogenic effects of the resultant protein product(s); however, growing evidence indicates that expanded CAG repeats within mutant HTT mRNA and derived small CAG repeat RNAs (sCAG) participate in HD pathophysiology. The individual contribution of protein versus RNA toxicity to HD pathophysiology remains largely uncharacterized and the role of other classes of small RNAs (sRNA) that are strongly perturbed in HD is uncertain. Here, have injected vehicle (VEH), CTL-sRNA-PT (obtained from the putamen of non-affected individuals) or HD-sRNA-PT (obtained from the putamen of patients with HD) into the striatum of wild type (WT) mice, and demonstrate that sRNA produced in the putamen and cortex of HD patients are sufficient to induce HD pathology in vivo, including transcriptional alterations. To reveal the transcriptional changes produced by sCAG, we co-injected human sRNAs with a locked nucleic acid (LNA) modified anti-sense oligonucleotide complementary to sCAG (HD-sRNA-PT + LNA-CTG) or an analogous scrambled LNA (HD-sRNA-PT + LNA-SCB). We have performed mRNA-seq in the different experimental groups: Vehicle, CTL-sRNA-PT, HD-sRNA-PT, HD-sRNA-PT + LNA-CTG, and HD-sRNA-PT + LNA-SCB. Here we describe the procedure to obtain and sequence human sRNA dataset isolated from the different brain areas.
