Evidence of shared transcriptomic dysregulation of HNRNPU-related disorder between human organoids and embryonic mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Generating effective therapies for neurodevelopmental disorders has remained elusive. An emerging drug discovery approach for neurodevelopmental disorders is to characterize transcriptome wide dysregulation in an appropriate model system and screen therapeutics based on their capacity to restore functionally relevant expression patterns. We characterized transcriptomic dysregulation in a human model of HNRNPU-related disorder to explore the potential of such a paradigm. We identified widespread dysregulation in functionally relevant pathways and then compared dysregulation in a human model to transcriptomic differences in embryonic and perinatal mice to determine whether dysregulation in an in vitro human model is partially replicated in an in vivo model of HNRNPU-related disorder. Strikingly, we find enrichment of co-dysregulation between 45-day-old human organoids and embryonic, but not perinatal, mice from distinct models of HNRNPU-related disorder. Thus, hnRNPU deficient human organoids may only be suitable to model transcriptional dysregulation in certain cell types within a specific developmental time window.
