Neuron-specific protein network mapping of autism risk genes identifies shared biological mechanisms and disease relevant pathologies

ABSTRACT: There are hundreds of risk genes for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but signaling networks at the protein level remain unexplored. We used neuron-specific proximity-labeling proteomics (BioID) to identify protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks for 41 ASD-risk genes. Neuron-specific PPI networks included synaptic transmission proteins, which are disrupted by de novo missense variants. The PPI network map revealed convergent pathways including mitochondrial/metabolic processes, Wnt signaling, ion channel activity and MAPK signaling. CRISPR knockout validations revealed an association between mitochondrial activity and ASD-risk genes. The PPI network showed an enrichment of 112 additional ASD-risk genes and differentially expressed genes from post-mortem ASD patients. Clustering of risk genes based on PPI networks identified gene groups corresponding to clinical behavior score severity. Our data reveal that cell type-specific PPI networks can identify previously unknown individual and convergent ASD signaling networks, provide a method to assess patient variants, and reveal biological insight into disease mechanisms and sub-cohorts of ASD.

Cell type-specific dysregulation of gene expression due to Chd8 loss of function during mouse cortical development [snRNA-seq]

Project description:Disruptive variants in the chromodomain helicase CHD8, which acts as a transcriptional regulator during neurodevelopment, are strongly associated with risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Loss of CHD8 function is hypothesized to perturb gene regulatory networks in the developing brain, thereby contributing to ASD etiology. However, insight into the cell type-specific transcriptional effects of CHD8 loss of function remains limited. We used single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-sequencing to globally profile gene expression and identify dysregulated genes in the embryonic and juvenile wild type and Chd8+/− mouse cortex, respectively. Chd8 and other ASD risk-associated genes showed a convergent expression trajectory that was largely conserved between the mouse and human developing cortex, increasing from the progenitor zones to the cortical plate. Genes associated with risk for neurodevelopmental disorders and genes involved in neuron projection development, chromatin remodeling, signaling, and migration were dysregulated in Chd8+/− embryonic day (E) 12.5 radial glia. Genes implicated in synaptic organization and activity were dysregulated in Chd8+/− postnatal day (P) 25 deep- and upper-layer excitatory neurons, suggesting a delay in synaptic maturation or impaired synaptogenesis due to CHD8 loss of function. Our findings reveal a complex pattern of transcriptional dysregulation in Chd8+/− developing cortex, potentially with distinct biological impacts on progenitors and maturing neurons in the excitatory neuronal lineage.

Protein interaction networks in the vasculature prioritize genes and pathways underlying coronary artery disease (Whitehead data)

Project description:Population-based association studies have identified many genetic risk loci for coronary artery disease (CAD), but it is often unclear how genes within these loci are linked to CAD. Here, we performed interaction proteomics for 11 CAD-risk genes to map their protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in human vascular cells and elucidate their biological relevance in CAD pathogenesis. The PPI networks contain many protein interactions that are outside of known biology in the vasculature and are enriched for genes involved in immunity-related and arterial-wall-specific mechanisms. Furthermore, several PPI networks derived from smooth muscle cells are significantly enriched for genetic variants associated with CAD and related vascular phenotypes. Finally, our networks identified 61 genes that are found in genetic loci associated with risk of CAD, prioritizing them as the causal candidates within these loci. Together, our results indicate that the PPI networks we have generated are a rich resource for guiding future research into the molecular pathogenesis of CAD.

A foundational atlas of autism protein interactions reveals molecular convergence [CUT&Tag]

Project description:Translating high-confidence (hc) autism spectrum disorder (ASD) genes into viable treatment targets remains elusive. We constructed a foundational protein-protein interaction (PPI) network in HEK293T cells involving 100 hcASD risk genes, revealing over 1,800 PPIs (87% novel). Interactors, expressed in the human brain and enriched for ASD but not schizophrenia genetic risk, converged on protein complexes involved in neurogenesis, tubulin biology, transcriptional regulation, and chromatin modification. A PPI map of 54 patient-derived missense variants identified differential physical interactions, and we leveraged AlphaFold-Multimer predictions to prioritize direct PPIs and specific variants for interrogation in Xenopus tropicalis and human forebrain organoids. A mutation in the transcription factor FOXP1 led to reconfiguration of DNA binding sites and altered development of deep cortical layer neurons in forebrain organoids. This work offers new insights into molecular mechanisms underlying ASD and describes a powerful platform to develop and test therapeutic strategies for many genetically-defined conditions.

The chromatin modifier CHD8 targets autism risk genes during human neurodevelopmentM-BM-

Project description:Whole-exome sequencing studies have implicated chromatin modifiers and transcriptional regulators in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through the identification of de novo loss of function mutations in affected individuals. Many of these genes are co-expressed in mid-fetal human cortex, suggesting ASD risk genes converge in regulatory networks that are perturbed in ASD during neurodevelopment. To elucidate such networks we mapped promoters and enhancers bound by the chromodomain helicase CHD8, which is strongly enriched in ASD-associated de novo loss of function mutations, using ChIP-seq in mid-fetal human brain, human neural stem cells (hNSCs), and embryonic mouse cortex. We find that CHD8 targets are strongly enriched for ASD risk genes that converge in ASD-associated co-expression networks in human midfetal cortex. CHD8 knockdown in hNSCs results in significant dysregulation of ASD risk genes targeted by CHD8, as well as additional genes important for neurodevelopment, including members of the Wnt/M-NM-2-catenin signaling pathway. Integration of CHD8 binding data with genetic and gene co-expression data in ASD risk models provides support for additional ASD risk genes. Together, our results suggest that loss of CHD8 function contributes to ASD through regulatory perturbation of other ASD risk genes during human cortical development. Two biological replicates for each ChIP with appropriate Input control Four biological replicates for each condition in knockdown experiments (Ctrl construct, Chd8 target C, and Chd8 target G)

Convergent coexpression of autism associated genes suggests some novel risk genes may not be detectable in large-scale genetic studies

Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in social interactions and communication. Protein function altering variants in many genes have been shown to contribute to ASD risk; however, understanding the biological convergence across so many genes has been difficult and genetic studies depending on presence of deleterious variation may be limited in implicating highly intolerant genes with shorter coding sequences. Here, we demonstrate that coexpression patterns from human post-mortem brain samples (N = 993) are significantly correlated with the transcriptional consequences of CRISPR perturbations (gene editing, interference and activation) in human neurons (N = 17). Across 71 ASD risk genes, there is significant tissue-specific transcriptional convergence that implicates synaptic pathways. Tissue specific convergence of risk genes is a generalizable phenomenon, shown additionally in schizophrenia (brain) and atrial fibrillation (heart). The degree of this convergence in ASD is significantly correlated with the level of association to ASD from sequencing studies (rho = -0.32, P = 3.03 ×10−65) as well as differential expression in post-mortem ASD brains (rho = -0.23, P = 2.39×10−43). After removing all genes statistically associated with ASD, the remaining positively convergent genes showed intolerance to functional mutations, had shorter coding lengths than the ASD genes and were enriched for genes with clinical reports of potential pathogenic contribution to ASD. These results indicate that leveraging convergent coexpression can identify potentially novel risk genes that are unlikely to be discovered by sequencing studies. Overall, this work provides a simple approach to functionally proxy CRISPR perturbation, demonstrates significant context-specific transcriptional convergence among known risk genes of multiple diseases, and proposes novel ASD risk gene candidates.

Cntnap2 KO mouse mPFC proteome for ASD

Project description:Autism Spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder where patients have impaired social behavior and communication, and restricted interests. Although various studies have been carried out to unveil the mechanisms associated with ASD, its pathophysiology is still poorly understood. Genetic variants on CNTNAP2 have been found and considered representative ASD genetic risk factors, and disruption of Cntnap2 causes ASD phenotypes in mice. Here, we performed an integrative multi-omics analysis by combining quantitative proteometabolomics data of Cntnap2 knockout (KO) mice with multi-omics data from ASD patients and forebrain organoids to elucidate Cntnap2-dependent molecular networks of ASD. First, we found Cntnap2-associated molecular signatures and cellular processes by conducting mass spectrometry-based proteometabolomic analysis of the medial prefrontal cortex of the Cntnap2 KO mouse model. Then, we narrowed these identified processes into bona fide ASD molecular processes by incorporating multi-omics data of ASD patients' prefrontal cortex. Further, we mapped cell-type-specific ASD networks by reanalyzing single-cell RNA-seq data of forebrain organoids derived from patients with CNTNAP2 mutation. Finally, we constructed a Cntnap2-associated ASD network model consisting of mitochondrial dysfunction, axonal impairment, and synaptic activity. Our results may shed light on understanding of the Cntnap2-dependent molecular networks of ASD.
