RNAseq Analysis Investigates Transcriptional Similarities and Differences Between Cryopreserved Parental and Engineered iPSC Derived Macrophages

ABSTRACT: RNA-seq analysis was used to investigate the transcriptional profile to reflect the changes in the parental vs engineered iPSC-derived macrophages. The RNA seq analysis provided an insight to uncover underlying mechanisms that might be triggered by perturbations in SNCA, Progranulin, and MeCP2 genes in iPSC derived macrophages. RNA seq data revealed an upregulation of 431 genes and concomitant downregulation of 276 in SNCA A53T Macrophages, an upregulation of 549 genes and concomitant downregulation of 356 in GRN R493X macrophages, an upregulation of 466 genes and concomitant downregulation of 406 genes in MeCP2HM macrophages when compared to the parental unengineered macrophages. These genes affected pathways regulating cell metabolism, exocytosis, transport, degranulation, immune activation, vascular circulation and neural differentiation and provided a comprehensive analysis of all cellular pathways perturbed by genetic engineering in SNCA, Progranulin, and MeCP2 genes.

Induced pluripotent stem cell models of progranulin-deficient frontotemporal dementia uncover specific reversible neuronal defects.

Project description:Multiple FTD patient-specific iPSC lines were generated for the first time, Human neurons of progranulin haploinsufficiency have been established. PGRN S116X neurons are more sensitive to kinase inhibitors-induced cell stress, which can be rescued by ectopic progranulin expression, revealing progranulin-dependent cellular defects in FTD. Microarray analysis reveals that the serine/threonine kinase S6K2 (RPS6KB2) and other genes involved in MAPK signaling are dysregulated specifically in neurons with progranulin deficiency. 32 independent human neuronal cultures were analyzed in this study

Patterns of cancer development and progression in the protein-protein interaction network

Project description:For this study we selected a gene, α-synuclein (SNCA), that is consistently under-expressed in MCF7 cells and breast tumors. Following transfection with an SNCA expression construct, two stable MCF7 clones (named MCF7-SNCA #1 and 2) were selected and examined for expression differences relative to the parental MCF7 cells. MCF7 cells were transfected with an expression vector containing the full-length SNCA sequence. After selection with blasticidin, two different clones were isolated and examined for expression differences relative to the parental MCF7 cells.

Mecp2: an unexpected regulator of macrophage gene expression and function [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Mutations in methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2), a major epigenetic regulator, are the predominant cause of Rett syndrome. We previously found that Mecp2-null microglia are deficient in phagocytic ability, and that engraftment of wild-type monocytes into the brain of Mecp2-deficient mice attenuates pathology. We have observed that Mecp2 deficiency is associated with increased levels of histone acetylation at the cis-regulatory regions of the Mecp2-regulated genes in macrophages. We hypothesized that Mecp2 recruits protein complexes containing histone deacetylases (HDACs) to repress the expression of its target genes. Our ChIP-Seq studies in bone-marrow derived macrophages revealed that Mecp2 co-localizes with Ncor2/Hdac3 protein complex at cis-regulatory regions of the target genes. These results suggest a role for Mecp2 in the recruitment and regulation of Ncor2/Hdac3 repressosome that plays a critical role in the regulation of inflammatory responses in macrophages.

a-Synuclein Antisense Transcript SNCA-AS1 regulates synapses- and aging-related genes suggesting its implication in Parkinson’s Disease

Project description:SNCA protein product, a-synuclein, is widely renowned for its role in synaptogenesis and implication in both aging and Parkinson’s Disease (PD), but research efforts are still needed to elucidate its physiological functions and mechanisms of regulation. In this work, we aim to characterize SNCA-AS1, antisense transcript to the SNCA gene, and its implications in cellular processes. The overexpression of SNCA-AS1 upregulates both SNCA and a-synuclein, and through RNA-seq analysis we investigated the transcriptomic changes of which both genes are responsible. We highlight how they impact neurites extension and synapses’ biology, through specific molecular signatures. We report a reduced expression of markers associated with synaptic plasticity, and we specifically focus on GABAergic and dopaminergic synapses, for their relevance in aging processes and PD, respectively. A reduction in SNCA-AS1 expression leads to the opposite effect. As part of this signature is co-regulated by the two genes, we discriminate between functions elicited by genes specifically altered by SNCA-AS1 or SNCA’s overexpression, observing a relevant role for SNCA-AS1 in synaptogenesis through a shared molecular signature with SNCA. We also highlight how numerous deregulated pathways are implicated in aging-related processes, suggesting that SNCA-AS1 could be a key player in cellular senescence, with implications for aging-related diseases. Indeed, the upregulation of SNCA-AS1 leads to alterations in numerous PD specific genes, with an impact highly comparable to that of SNCA’s upregulation. Our results show that SNCA-AS1 elicits its cellular functions through the regulation of SNCA, with a specific modulation of synaptogenesis and senescence, presenting implications in PD.

Antisense oligonucleotides targeting the miR-29b binding site in the GRN mRNA increase progranulin translation

Project description:Heterozygous GRN (progranulin) mutations cause frontotemporal dementia (FTD) due to haploinsufficiency, and increasing progranulin levels is a major therapeutic goal. Several microRNAs, including miR-29b, negatively regulate progranulin protein levels. Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are emerging as a promising therapeutic modality for neurological diseases, but strategies for increasing target protein levels are limited. Here, we tested the efficacy of ASOs as enhancers of progranulin expression by sterically blocking the miR-29b binding site in the 3' UTR of the human GRN mRNA. We found 16 ASOs that increase progranulin protein in a dose-dependent manner in neuroglioma cells. A subset of these ASOs also increased progranulin protein in iPSC-derived neurons and in a humanized GRN mouse model. In FRET-based assays, the ASOs effectively competed miR-29b from binding to the GRN 3' UTR RNA. The ASOs increased levels of newly synthesized progranulin protein by increasing its translation, as revealed by polysome profiling. Together, our results demonstrate that ASOs can be used to effectively increase target protein levels by partially blocking miR binding sites. This ASO strategy may be therapeutically feasible for progranulin-deficient FTD as well as other conditions of haploinsufficiency.
