Genetic Copy Number Variants in Sib Pairs Both Affected with Schizophrenia

ABSTRACT: Genome-wide screening for DNA copy-number variations (CNVs) was conducted for ten pairs, a total of 20 cases, of affected siblings using oligonucleotide array-based CGH. We found negative symptoms were significantly more severe (p < 0.05) in the subgroup that harboring more genetic imbalance (n ≧ 13, n = number of CNV-disrupted genes) as compared with the subgroup with fewer CNVs (n ≦ 6), indicating the degree of genetic imbalance may influence the severity of schizophrenia negative symptoms. Four central nervous system (CNS) related genes including CCAAT/enhancer binding protein, delta (CEBPD, 8q11.21), retinoid X receptor, alpha (RXRA, 9q34.2), LIM homeobox protein 5 (LHX5, 12q24.13) and serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11, 19p13.3) are recurrently (incidence ≧16.7%) disrupted by CNVs. Two genes, PVR (poliovirus receptor) and BU678720, are concordant deleted in one and two, respectively, pairs of co-affected siblings. However, we did not find significant association of this BU678720 and schizophrenia in a large case-control sample. We conclude that the high genetic loading of CNVs may as the underlying cause of schizophrenia negative symptoms, and the CNS-related genes revealed by this study warrants further investigation.

Human NMDAR autoantibodies disrupt excitatory-inhibitory balance leading to hippocampal network hypersynchrony

Project description:Specific autoantibodies against the NMDA-receptor (NMDAR) GluN1 subunit cause severe and debilitating NMDAR-encephalitis. Autoantibodies induce prototypic disease symptoms resembling schizophrenia, including psychosis and cognitive dysfunction. Using a mouse passive transfer model applying human monoclonal anti-GluN1-autoantibodies, we observed CA1 pyramidal neuron hypoexcitability, reduced AMPA-receptor (AMPAR) signaling, and faster synaptic inhibition resulting in disrupted excitatory-inhibitory balance. Functional alterations were supported by widespread remodeling of the hippocampal proteome, including changes in glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission. At the network level, anti-GluN1-autoantibodies amplified gamma oscillations and disrupted theta-gamma coupling. A data-informed network model revealed that lower AMPAR strength and faster GABAA-receptor current kinetics chiefly account for these abnormal oscillations. As predicted by our model and evidenced experimentally, positive allosteric modulation of AMPARs alleviated aberrant gamma activity and thus reinforced the causative effects of the excitatory-inhibitory imbalance. Collectively, NMDAR-hypofunction-induced aberrant synaptic, cellular, and network dynamics provide new mechanistic insights into disease symptoms in NMDAR-encephalitis and schizophrenia.

Monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia differ in maturation and synaptic transmission

Project description:Schizophrenia affects approximately 1% of the world population. Genetics, epigenetics, and environmental factors are known to play a role in this psychiatric disorder. While there is a high concordance in monozygotic twins, about half of twin pairs are discordant for schizophrenia. To address the question of how and when concordance in monozygotic twins occur, we have obtained fibroblasts from two pairs of schizophrenia discordant twins (one sibling with schizophrenia while the second one is unaffected by schizophrenia) and three pairs of healthy twins (both of the siblings are healthy). We have prepared iPSC models for these 3 groups of patients with schizophrenia, unaffected co-twins, and the healthy twins. When the study started the co-twins were considered healthy and unaffected but both the co-twins were later diagnosed with a depressive disorder. The reprogrammed iPSCs were differentiated into hippocampal neurons to measure the neurophysiological abnormalities in the patients. We found that the neurons derived from the schizophrenia patients were less arborized, were hypoexcitable with immature spike features, and exhibited a significant reduction in synaptic activity with dysregulation in synapse-related genes. Interestingly, the neurons derived from the co-twin siblings who did not have schizophrenia formed another distinct group that was different from the neurons in the group of the affected twin siblings but also different from the neurons in the group of the control twins. Importantly, their synaptic activity was not affected. Our measurements that were obtained from schizophrenia patients and their monozygotic twin and compared also to control healthy twins point to hippocampal synaptic deficits as a central mechanism in schizophrenia

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.

Comparison of post-mortem tissue from Brodman Brain BA22 region between schizophrenic and control patients

Project description:Transcriptional analysis of the superior temporal cortex (BA22) in schizophrenia: Pathway insight into disease pathology and drug development Schizophrenia is a highly debilitating psychiatric disorder which is known to have heritable genetic and environmental components. To gain some insight into the mechanisms underpinning both positive and negative symptoms of the disease, we determined the genome wide expression of mRNA transcripts in post-mortem tissue from the superior temporal cortex (Brodmann Area 22, BA22) in schizophrenic and control patients. The BA22 region is known to mediate the positive pathophysiology of schizophrenia; we compared this to the anterior prefrontal cortex (BA10) from the same subjects, which is known to mediate negative symptoms. Following adjustments for confounding clinical, sample and experimental sources of variation, we carried out gene set enrichment analysis in each region using pathway data. We identified an over-representation of genes involved in cytoskeletal remodelling, neurodevelopment, cell adhesion, cellular signalling, neurotransmission and autophagy. Collectively our analysis indicates a disruption of processes underpinning synaptic plasticity in both regions. Region-specific changes support the dysregulation of distinct pathways in the BA10 and BA22 regions. This may highlight new therapeutic opportunities to treat both negative and positive symptoms of the disease. Post-mortem derived BA22 tissue from schizophrenic and control patients were compared. Age, gender, post-mortem delay and pH of brain lysates data were also captured.

RNA-seq of oligodendroglia progenitor cells(OPCs) isolated from WT and DISC1-Δ3 mice

Project description:Disrupted-in-schizophrenia-1 (DISC1), as one of the schizophrenia susceptibility genes highly expressed in oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), impacts oligodendroglial differentiation and myelination. Several DISC1 splicing variants, including DISC1-Δ3 (a DISC1 transcript with deleted exon 3 in a single allele), are abnormally upregulated in human schizophrenia patients, however, how they trigger the onset of the disease has not been explored yet. Here, we generate a mouse line that mimics human DISC1-Δ3 in oligodendrocyte lineage cells, and demonstrate that hypertrophic OPCs rather than myelin, are responsible for the neuronal deficits and schizophrenia-like symptoms. RNAseq was performed to analyze the transcriptome change in DISC1-Δ3 OPC, revealing that DISC1-Δ3 elevates the Wnt pathway activity in OPCs, which promotes Wif1 expression, thereby leading to disrupted synapse formation in neighboring neurons. Interfering or knockout of Wif1 in DISC1-Δ3 OPCs could rescue neuronal synaptic and functional deficits in our mouse model. Our findings shed light on the myelination-independent role of OPCs on the onset of schizophrenia, and may pave the way for new rational lines of inquiry in developing therapeutic strategies for schizophrenia.

Genotyping data from 54 patients with deficit schizophrenia

Project description:Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disease with complex etiology, affecting approximately one percent of the general population. Most genetic studies so far focused on disease association with common genetic variation such as single nucleotide polymorphisms, but recently it has become apparent that large-scale genomic copy number variants (CNVs) are involved in disease development as well. To assess the role of rare CNVs in schizophrenia, we screened 54 patients with deficit schizophrenia using Affymetrixâ GeneChip 250K SNP arrays. Keywords: genomic hybridisation We hybridized genomic DNA of 54 patients with deficit schizophrenia to Affymetrix' GeneChip 250K SNP (Nsp) arrays, and identified genome-wide CNV using the Copy Number Analyzer for Affymetrix GeneChip (CNAG v2.0) software, which uses a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) algorithm to calculate copy numbers.

Effect of Advanced Paternal Age on Copy Number Variation in Offspring (commercial array)

Project description:The offspring of older fathers have an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia and autism. It has been proposed that de novo point mutations and copy number variants (CNVs) in the continually dividing spermatogonia underlie this association. In light of the evidence implicating CNVs with schizophrenia and autism, here we use a mouse model to test the hypothesis that the offspring of older males have an increased risk of de novo CNVs. Three-month-old and fourteen- to sixteen-month-old C57BL/6J sires were mated with three-month-old dams to create control offspring and offspring of old sires, respectively. Applying genome-wide microarray screening technology, seven distinct CNVs were identified in a discovery set of twelve offspring and their parents. Competitive quantitative PCR was employed to confirm the variants and establish their frequency in a replication set of 77 offspring and their parents. Six de novo CNVs were detected in the offspring of older sires, while none were detected in the control group. One of the de novo CNVs involved Auts2 (autism susceptibility candidate 2), and other CNVs included genes linked to schizophrenia, autism and brain development. Two of the CNVs were associated with behavioural and/or neuroanatomical phenotypic features. This is the first experimental demonstration that the offspring of older males have more de novo CNVs. The results suggest that offspring of older fathers may be at increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia and autism via the generation of de novo CNV in the male germline. In light of the trends for delayed parenthood in many societies, and in light of the potential for these CNVs to accumulate over subsequent generations, the impact of these mechanisms on the health of future generations warrants closer scrutiny.
