SnRNAseq in human fetal neocortex

ABSTRACT: Abnormalities in neocortical and synaptic development have been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating the formation of the initial synapses in an evolutionary advanced neocortical layer, the subplate (SP), are poorly understood. Our snRNAseq screen of human prefrontal neocortices from early (11/12 PCW), mid (14/15 PCW) to late (17/18 PCW) fetal developmental stages revealed the bipartite-to-tripartite differentiation of SP neuronal subclasses. Using polysome profiling with RNAseq, we report for the first time a set of mRNAs undergoing translational control in cellular subclasses of developing human prefrontal neocortices, including SP neurons. By examining both mouse and human neocortex, we further found that an autism spectrum disorder (ASD)-risk gene and RNA binding protein CUGBP Elav-Like Family Member 4 (CELF4) is selectively expressed in the neurons of two synapse-enriched compartments, the SP and the marginal zone. Furthermore, CELF4 binds mRNA targets that are encoded by the synaptic genes associated with ASD and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes; albeit in an evolutionarily advanced fashion between mouse and human synaptic mRNAs. The selective forebrain Celf4 deletion from developing mouse cortical neurons disrupts the balance of SP synapses in a gender-specific fashion. Taken together, our results underscore the importance of RNA binding proteins and mRNA translation in evolutionarily advanced synaptic development, as well as their possible contribution to gender specific protein synthesis and vulnerability.

Synaptic dysfunction in human neurons with Autism associated deletions in PTCHD1-AS

Project description:The Xp22.11 locus that encompasses PTCHD1, DDX53, and the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) PTCHD1-AS is frequently disrupted in males with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but the functional consequences of these genetic risk factors for ASD are unknown. : iPSC-derived neurons from the ASD subjects exhibited reduced miniature excitatory post-synaptic current (mEPSC) frequency and NMDA receptor hypofunction. We found that 35 ASD-associated deletions mapping to the PTCHD1 locus disrupt exons of PTCHD1-AS. We also report a novel ASD-associated deletion of PTCHD1-AS exon 3, and we show exon 3 loss alters PTCHD1-AS splicing without affecting expression of the neighboring PTCHD1 coding gene. Finally, targeted disruption of PTCHD1-AS exon 3 recapitulated diminished mEPSC frequency, supporting a role for the lncRNA in the etiology of ASD. Our genetic findings provide strong evidence that PTCHD1-AS deletions are risk factors for ASD, and human iPSC-derived neurons implicate these deletions in the neurophysiology of excitatory synapses and in ASD-associated synaptic impairment.

Whole brain transcriptomic analysis of Tbr1-K228E mutant mice

Project description:Mutations of Tbr1, a high-confidence ASD (autism spectrum disorder)-risk gene encoding the transcription regulator TBR1, in mice have been shown to induce diverse ASD-related molecular, synaptic, neuronal, and behavioral dysfunctions. However, it remains unclear whether Tbr1 mutations derived from autistic individuals cause similar dysfunctions in mice remains unclear. Here we generated and characterized mice carrying the TBR1-K228E de novo mutation identified in human ASD and identified various ASD-related phenotypes. In heterozygous mice carrying this mutation (Tbr1+/K228E mice), the levels of the TBR1-K228E protein, which cannot bind to target DNA, were strongly increased. RNA-Seq analysis of the Tbr1+/K228E embryonic brain indicated significant changes in the expression of genes associated with neurons, astrocytes, ribosomes, neuronal synapses, and ASD risk. The Tbr1+/K228E neocortex displayed abnormal distribution of parvalbumin-positive interneurons, with the density lower in superficial layers but higher in deep layers. This was associated with increased inhibitory synaptic transmission in layer 6 pyramidal neurons, which was resistant to compensation by network activity. Behaviorally, Tbr1+/K228E mice showed decreased social interaction, increased self-grooming, and modestly increased anxiety-like behaviors. These results suggest that the human heterozygous TBR1-K228E mutation induces ASD-related protein, transcriptomic, neuronal, synaptic, and behavioral dysfunctions in mice.

Temporally defined neocortical translation and polysome assembly is determined by the RNA-binding protein, Hu antigen R

Project description:Precise spatiotemporal control of mRNA translation machinery is essential to proper development of highly complex systems like the neocortex. Here, we show that an RNA-binding protein, Hu antigen R (HuR), regulates both neocorticogenesis and specificity of neocortical translation machinery in a developmental stagedependent manner in mice. Neocortical absence of HuR alters the phosphorylation states of the initiation and elongation factors of the core translation machinery. In addition, HuR regulates the temporally specific positioning of functionally related mRNAs into the active translation sites, the polysomes. HuR also determines the specificity of neocortical polysomes by defining their combinatorial composition of ribosomal proteins and initiation and elongation factors. For some of the HuR-dependent proteins, the association with polysomes depends on the eIF2 alpha kinase 4 (eIF2ak4), which associated with HuR in prenatal developing neocortices. Finally, we found that deletion of HuR prior to embryonic day 10 (E10) disrupts both neocortical lamination and formation of the main neocortical commissure, the corpus callosum. Our study identifies a crucial role for HuR in neocortical development as a translational gatekeeper for functionally related mRNA subgroups and polysomal protein specificity. Cortex was dissected from mouse pups at embryonic day 13 (E13) or the day of birth (P0).

Comparing synaptic proteomes across five mouse models for autism reveals converging molecular similarities including deficits in oxidative phosphorylation and Rho GTPase signaling

Project description:Specific and effective treatments for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are lacking due to a poor understanding of disease mechanisms. Here, we test the idea that similarities between diverse ASD mouse models are caused by deficits in shared molecular pathways at neuronal synapses. To do this, we leverage the availability of multiple genetic models of ASD that exhibit shared synaptic and behavioral deficits and use quantitative mass spectrometry with isobaric tandem mass tagging (TMT) to compare their hippocampal synaptic proteomes. Comparative analyses of mouse models for Fragile X syndrome (Fmr1 knockout), cortical dysplasia focal epilepsy syndrome (Cntnap2 knockout), PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (Pten haploinsufficiency), ANKS1B syndrome (Anks1b haploinsufficiency), and idiopathic autism (BTBR+) revealed several common altered cellular and molecular pathways atthe synapse, including changes in oxidative phosphorylation, endocytosis, and Rho family small GTPase signaling. Functional validation of one of these aberrant pathways, Rac1 signaling, confirms that ANSK1B models display altered Rac1 activity counter to that observed in other models, as predicted by the bioinformatic analyses. Overall similarity analyses reveal clusters of synaptic profiles, which may form the basis for molecular subtypes that explain genetic heterogeneity in ASD despite a common clinical diagnosis. Our results suggest that ASD-linked susceptibility genes ultimately converge on common signaling pathways regulating synaptic function and propose that these points of convergence are key to understanding the human disease.

Zbtb16 regulates social cognitive behaviors and neocortical development

Project description:Recent genomic studies suggest that a single gene is involved in multiple diseases, however it is unclear what mechanism destined for different diseases by a single gene. Mutations of ZBTB16 are associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ), but how ZBTB16 fates ASD or SCZ are unknown. Here we show the deletion of Zbtb16 in mice leads to both ASD- and SCZ-like behaviors such as social impairment, repetitive behaviors, risk-taking behaviors, and cognitive impairment. To elucidate the mechanism underlying the behavioral phenotypes, we carried out histological studies and observed impairments in thinning of neocortical layer 6 (L6) and a reduction of TBR1+ neurons in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of Zbtb16 KO mice. Furthermore, we found increased dendritic spines and microglia as well as developmental defects in oligodendrocytes and neocortical myelination in the PFC of Zbtb16 KO mice. Using a genomics approach, we identified the Zbtb16-transcriptome that includes genes involved in both ASD and SCZ pathophysiology and neocortical maturation such as neurogenesis and myelination. Co-expression networks further identified Zbtb16-correlated modules that are unique to ASD or SCZ respectively. Our study provides insight into the differential role of the single gene ZBTB16 in ASD and SCZ.

Developmental dynamics of the postsynaptic proteome to understand synaptic maturation and dysmaturation

Project description:The postsynaptic density (PSD) is a protein condensate composed of ~1,000 proteins beneath the postsynaptic membrane of excitatory synapses. The number, shape, and plasticity of synapses are altered during development. However, the dynamics of synaptic protein composition across development have not been fully understood. Here we show alterations of PSD protein composition in mouse and primate brains during development. Proteins involved in synapse regulation are enriched in the differentially expressed (288 decreased and 267 increased) proteins on mouse PSD after a 2-week-old, which may be involved in changes of synaptic signal transduction. We find that the changes in PSD protein abundance in mouse brains correlate with gene expression levels in postnatal mice and perinatal primates. Proteome analysis of PSD from developing common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) shows that the changes of PSD composition in mouse brain after 2-week-old occur in the marmoset brain mainly during the neonatal period and continue until adulthood. We also describe the changes of PSD proteome at the late developmental stage of marmoset, which may be involved in synaptic pruning observed in primate brains. The maturation of PSD composition is likely defective in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Our results provide a comprehensive architecture of the remodeling of PSD composition across development, which may explain the molecular basics of synapse maturation and the pathology of psychiatric disorders, such as ASD.

Cortical organoids model early brain development disrupted by 16p11.2 CNV in autism

Project description:Reciprocal deletion and duplication of 16p11.2 is the most common copy number variation (CNV) associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental disorders, and has significant effect on brain size. We used cortical organoids derived from ASD cases to investigate neurodevelopmental pathways dysregulated by dosage changes of 16p11.2 CNV. We show that organoids recapitulate patients’ macrocephaly and microcephaly phenotypes. Deletions and duplications have “mirror” effects on cell proliferation, maturation and synapse number, consistent with “mirror” effects on brain development in humans. Neuronal migration was decreased in both, deletion and duplication organoids. Transcriptomic and proteomic profiling revealed synaptic defects and neuronal migration as key drivers of 16p11.2 functional effect. We implicate upregulation of small GTPase RhoA involved in regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics, neuron migration and neurite outgrowth as one of the pathways impacted by the 16p11.2 CNV in ASD. Treatment with the RhoA inhibitor Rhosin rescued neuron migration, but not synaptic defects. This study identifies pathways dysregulated by the 16p11.2 CNV during early neocortical development using cortical organoid models.
