Molecular signatures predictive of response to mecasermin in children with Rett syndrome

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Rett syndrome (RTT) is a devastating neurodevelopmental disorder without effective treatments. Attempts at developing targeted therapies have been relatively unsuccessful, at least in part, because the genotypical and phenotypical variability of the disorder. Therefore, identification of biomarkers of response and surrogate endpoints is a high priority. Methods: We used RNA sequencing to measure differential gene expression in whole blood samples of participants patients (n=9) were analysed from phase I mecasermin trial Results: When all patients (n=9) were analysed, gene expression was unchanged during the study (baseline vs. end of treatment). Conclusions: Our preliminary analyses revealed gene expression profiles associated with differential breathing phenotype response to mecasermin in RTT.

Quantitative proteomics study of Mecp2 KO versus wild type mice

Project description:Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the transcriptional regulator MeCP2. RTT is characterized by having apparently normal development until 6-18 months, when a progressive decline in motor and language functions begins and breathing abnormalities and seizures present. Here we present the first proteomic analysis in a RTT mouse model. Examining whole cortex tissue in symptomatic males (Mecp2Jae/y) and wild-type littermates, we have identified 465 proteins significantly altered. Pathway analysis identified biological pathways ubiquitous to multiple cell types as well as cell type specific pathways, underscoring the contributions of multiple central nervous system (CNS) cell populations to the disease pathogenesis.

Transcription profiling of human super frontal gyrus (post mortem brain) from Rett syndrome patients and age sex matched controls reveals FXYD1, an MeCP2 target gene overexpressed in the brains of Rett syndrome patients and Mecp2-null mice

Project description:Rett syndrome (RTT, OMIM 312750) is a severe X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder linked to heterozygous de novo mutations in the MECP2 gene. MECP2 encodes methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2), which represses gene transcription by binding to 5-methylcytosine residues in symmetrically positioned CpG dinucleotides. The disorder is almost exclusively diagnosed in females, because males affected by the disease usually die perinatally due to severe encephalopathy. Direct MeCP2 target genes underlying the neuropathogenesis of RTT remain largely unknown.

VPA alleviates neurological deficits and restores gene expression in a mouse model of Rett syndrome

Project description:Rett syndrome (RTT) is a devastating neurodevelopmental disorder that occurs once in every 10,000-15,000 live female births. Despite intensive research, no effective cure is yet available. Valproic acid (VPA) has been used widely to treat mood disorder, epilepsy, and a growing number of other disorders. In limited clinical studies, VPA has also been used to control seizure in RTT patients with promising albeit somewhat unclear efficacy. In this study we tested the effect of VPA on the neurological symptoms of RTT and discovered that short-term VPA treatment during the symptomatic period could reduce neurological symptoms in RTT mice. We found that VPA restores the expression of a subset of genes in RTT mouse brains, and these genes clustered in neurological disease and developmental disorder networks. Our data suggest that VPA could be used as a drug to alleviate RTT symptoms. Wild type or MeCP2KO mice received daily injections of VPA (300 mg/kg) for 2 weeks. Each experimental condition: WT control, KO treated with VPA (KO+VPA), and KO treated with saline (KO+saline). Half brain samples were retrieved.

Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing of Rett Syndrome and Control Human BA9 Cortex

Project description:Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) that occur sporadically in 1:10,000 female births. RTT is characterized by a period of largely normal development followed by regression in language and motor skills at 6-18 months of age. To investigate alterations in DNA methylation in RTT, we performed whole genome bisulfite sequencing on brodmann area 9 of human cortex from RTT and matched controls.

Quantitative proteomic alterations of human iPSC-based neuronal development indicate early onset of Rett syndrome.

Project description:Rett syndrome (RTT) is a progressive neurodevelopmental disease often caused by mutations in the X-linked gene encoding methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2). The mechanisms by which impaired MeCP2 induces the pathological abnormalities in the brain is not understood. To understand the molecular mechanisms involved in disease onset, we used an RTT patient induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based model and applied an in-depth high-resolution quantitative mass spectrometry-based analysis during early stages of neuronal development. Our data provided evidence of proteomic alteration at developmental stages long before the phase that symptoms of RTT syndrome become apparent. Differential expression increased from early to late neural stem cell phases, although proteins involved in immunity, metabolic processes and calcium signaling were already affected at initial stages. This data can help development of new biomarkers and therapeutic approaches in RTT syndrome.

Multiplex Epigenome Editing of MECP2 to Rescue Rett Syndrome Neurons (WGBS)

Project description:Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder caused by loss-of-function heterozygous mutations of MECP2. Reactivation of the silent wild-type MECP2 allele on the inactive X chromosome (Xi) represents a promising therapeutic opportunity for female RTT patients. Here, we applied a multiplex epigenome editing approach to reactivate MECP2 on Xi. Demethylation of the MECP2 promoter by dCas9-Tet1 with target sgRNA reactivated MECP2 on Xi in RTT hESCs without detectable off-target effects at the transcriptome level. Neurons derived from methylation edited RTT hESCs reversed the smaller soma size and electrophysiological abnormalities. Insulation of the methylation edited MECP2 locus in RTT neurons by dCpf1-CTCF with target crRNA stabilized MECP2 reactivation and rescued the RTT-related neuronal defects, providing a proof-of-concept study for multiplex epigenome editing to treat RTT.

Expression in Superior Frontal Gyrus of normal individuals or females of different ages affected by Rett syndrome

Project description:Rett syndrome (RTT, OMIM #312750) is a severe X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder linked to heterozygous de novo mutations in the MECP2 gene. MECP2 encodes methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2), which represses gene transcription by binding to 5-methylcytosine residues in symmetrically positioned CpG dinucleotides. The disorder is almost exclusively diagnosed in females, because males affected by the disease usually die perinatally due to severe encephalopathy. Direct MeCP2 target genes underlying the neuropathogenesis of RTT remain largely unknown. To identify genes involved in the neuropathogenesis of RTT we assessed the gene expression profile of postmortem brains affected by RTT and that of age-matched normal brains using Affymetrix arrays.

Inhibition of BET proteins rescues neural defects in Rett syndrome [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Rett syndrome (RTT) is a severe X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2). Cellular heterogeneity in the brain confounds the understanding of RTT etiology. To date, how MeCP2 mutation affects defined cell types in human brain remains unclear, and effective therapeutics for RTT is lacking. Here we show that cell-type-specific transcriptome impairment and JQ1-mediated rescue in RTT cells from dorsal and ventral human forebrain organoids. We find that MeCP2 mutation severely impairs human cortical interneurons (INs). Dysregulation of MeCP2-BRD4 ChIP regulatory axis and three-dimensional genome architecture are critically involved in the abnormal transcription in RTT INs, and JQ1 strongly rescues RTT INs by resetting the aberrant chromatin binding of BRD4 ChIP. Finally, JQ1 alleviates RTT-like phenotypes in mice. These data demonstrate that BRD4 ChIP dysregulation is a critical driver for RTT etiology and targeting BRD4 ChIP is an effective therapeutic opportunity for RTT.
