Activity-Dependent Transcriptional Program in NGN2+ Neurons Enriched for Genetic Risk for Brain-Related Disorders

ABSTRACT: We generated human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) derived neurons isolated from six childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) cases and five healthy controls. To measured the transcriptional and epigenomic changes following neuronal activation with KCl, we harvested these cells one and six hours after stimulation with 50mM KCl and under non-stimulating conditions, followed by RNA-seq and ATAC-seq profiling. We comprehensively characterized activity-dependent changes in gene expression and gene regulatory element activity (chromatin accessibility) in hiPSC-derived neurons. After one hour of KCl induced depolarization, neurons invoked substantial activity-dependent changes in the expression of genes regulating synaptic functions, some of which are known to be perturbed in neuropsychiatric diseases, including schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder. By capturing changes in chromatin accessibility, we extended our analysis to activity-dependent gene regulatory elements, captured by changes in chromatin accessibility, and also found significant heritability enrichment for schizophrenia variants in the activity-induced enhancers. Our framework not only offers an alternative approach to study the mechanisms of COS but also adds to converging evidence that activity-induced expression changes mediated by the activity of regulatory elements might contribute to schizophrenia risk.

Comparing Control and Schizophrenic hiPSC-derived Neurons

Project description:Schizophrenia is a debilitating neurological disorder for which no cure exists. Few defining characteristics of schizophrenic neurons have been identified and the molecular mechanisms responsible for schizophrenia are not well understood, in part due to the lack of patient material for study. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) offer a new strategy for studying schizophrenia. We have created the first cell-based human model of a complex genetic psychiatric disease by generating hiPSCs from schizophrenic patients and subsequently differentiating these cells to hiPSC-derived neurons in vitro. Schizophrenic hiPSC-derived neurons showed diminished neuronal connectivity in conjunction with decreased neurite number, PSD95-protein levels and glutamate receptor expression. Gene expression profiles of schizophrenic hiPSC-derived neurons identified altered expression of many components of the cAMP and WNT signaling pathways. Key cellular and molecular elements of the schizophrenic phenotype were ameliorated following treatment of schizophrenic hiPSC-derived neurons with the antipsychotic loxapine. 3 independent differentiations (biological replicates) for each of four control and four schizophrenic patients were analyzed.

RNA-seq of human and mouse stem-cell derived neurons and mouse primary cortical neurons after KCl-induced membrane depolarization against controls.

Project description:This experiment comprises RNA-seq data used to study evolutionary differences between humans and mice in neuronal activity-dependent transcriptional responses. Activity-dependent transcriptional responses in developing human stem cell-derived cortical neurons were compared with those induced in developing primary- or stem cell-derived mouse cortical neurons 4 hours after KCl-induced membrane depolarisation. Activity-dependent transcriptional responses were also measured in aneuploid mouse neurons carrying human chromosome 21, allowing study of the regulation of Hsa21 genes, plus their mouse orthologs, side-by-side in the same cellular environment of a mouse primary neuron.

Transcription profiling of rat depolarization induced gene from primary cortical neuron

Project description:Activation of neurons is one of the fundamental events for the functioning of nervous system. Neuronal activation relays information to next neurons. On the other hand, the activated neurons themselves are also influenced by neuronal activation. Depending on the type and condition of neuronal activation, these activated neurons change their gene expressions, thereby being able to process information more or less efficiently. We applied the microarray technology to identify hither-to-uncharacterized as activity-dependent genes. Especially, we screened the transcription factors, because early changes in the transcription factors should result in alterations of gene expression profiles and subsequent neuronal properties. Experiment Overall Design: Rat primary cortical neurons with or without KCl treatment were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. To identify the genes whose expression was induced by depolarization, we first compared gene expression profiles in control vs. 4 hr after KCl (25 mM) treated cortical neurons using Affymetrix Genechips specified for neurobiology. All four hybridizations were analyzed for correlation accuracy between the replicates of the same treatments .Control replicates (control 1, 2) KCl-treated replicates (KCl 1, 2)

Modelling schizophrenia using human induced pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Schizophrenia (SCZD) is a debilitating neurological disorder with a world-wide prevalence of 1%; there is a strong genetic component, with an estimated heritability of 80–85%1. Although post-mortem studies have revealed reduced brain volume, cell size, spine density and abnormal neural distribution in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of SCZD brain tissue2 and neuropharmacological studies have implicated dopaminergic, glutamatergic and GABAergic activity in SCZD3, the cell types affected in SCZD and the molecular mechanisms underlying the disease state remain unclear. To elucidate the cellular and molecular defects of SCZD, we directly reprogrammed fibroblasts from SCZD patients into human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and subsequently differentiated these disorder-specific hiPSCs into neurons (Supplementary Fig. 1). SCZD hiPSC neurons showed diminished neuronal connectivity in conjunction with decreased neurite number, PSD95-protein levels and glutamate receptor expression. Gene expression profiles of SCZD hiPSC neurons identified altered expression of many components of the cyclic AMP and WNT signalling pathways. Key cellular and molecular elements of the SCZD phenotype were ameliorated following treatment of SCZD hiPSC neurons with the antipsychotic loxapine. To date, hiPSC neuronal pathology has only been demonstrated in diseases characterized by both the loss of function of a single gene product and rapid disease progression in early childhood. We now report hiPSC neuronal phenotypes and gene expression changes associated with SCZD, a complex genetic psychiatric disorder. 4 samples/no replicates/genotyped for copy number variation, using the same refrence sample on nimblegen's 080131_HG18_WG_CGH_v2DCR_HX1 design, a dual color microarry, 2.1 million probes platform.

Establishment of an ulcerative colitis model using colon organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells

Project description:The etiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is complex, with much room for a greater understanding and development of improved therapies. Therefore, establishing a reliable IBD model is crucial for future advancements. In this study, human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell-derived colon organoids (hiPSC-COs) were treated with a combination of TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-1β (3 cytokines: 3CK), known to elevate in the serum of IBD patients. Inflammatory responses in stromal cells and damage to intestinal epithelial cells were observed in the 3CK-treated hiPSC-COs. Comparison of molecular signatures of 3CK-treated hiPSC-COs with those of ulcerative colitis (UC) patient’s colon revealed that 3CK-treated hiPSC-COs resemble UC patient’s colon. Furthermore, the elevated production of inflammatory cytokines observed in 3CK-treated hiPSC-COs was attenuated by treatment with tofacitinib. Our UC model will be an essential tool to understand its pathologic mechanisms and identify effective therapeutic approaches.

Project description:Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is crucial for neuronal survival, differentiation, synaptic plasticity, memory formation, and neurocognitive health. Molecular mechanisms of BDNF promoting cellular survival and synaptic plasticity have been intensely studied, yet its role in genome regulation is obscure. Using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons via lentiviral delivery of the neuronal transcription factor Ngn2, we performed a temporal profiling (1h, 6h and 10h) of chromatin accessibility upon BDNF treatment or depolarization (KCl) to identify BDNF-specific chromatin-to-gene expression programs.

Progranulin enhances the engraftment of transplanted human iPS cell-derived cerebral neurons

Project description:Cerebral organoids (COs) in cell replacement therapy offer a viable approach to reconstructing neural circuits for individuals suffering from stroke or traumatic brain injuries. Successful transplantation relies on effective engraftment and neurite extension from the grafts. Earlier research has validated the effectiveness of delaying the transplantation procedure by one week. Here, we hypothesized that brain tissues one week following a traumatic brain injury possess a more favorable environment for cell transplantation when compared to immediately after injury. We performed a transcriptomic comparison to differentiate gene expression between these two temporal states. In controlled in vitro conditions, recombinant human progranulin (rhPGRN) bolstered the survival rate of dissociated neurons sourced from human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cerebral organoids (hiPSC-COs) under conditions of enhanced oxidative stress. This increase in viability was attributable to a reduction in apoptosis via Akt phosphorylation. In addition, rhPGRN pretreatment before in vivo transplantation experiments augmented the engraftment efficiency of hiPSC-COs considerably and facilitated neurite elongation along the host brain’s corticospinal tracts. Subsequent histological assessments at three months post-transplantation revealed an elevated presence of graft-derived subcerebral projection neurons—crucial elements for reconstituting neural circuits—in the rhPGRN-treated group. These outcomes highlight the potential of PGRN as a neurotrophic factor suitable for incorporation into hiPSC-CO-based cell therapies.
