FANSseq profiling of human striatal cell types

ABSTRACT: Selective degeneration of striatal projection neurons is one of the main features of Huntington’s disease (HD). The differences between vulnerable and resilient striatal cell types and cell type-specific molecular events associated with HD progression have not been established. Here we employed fluorescence-activated nuclear sorting (FANS) and deep molecular profiling to gain insight into the properties of different cell types of the human striatum in HD and control donors.

Single-nucleus RNA-seq reveals dysregulation of striatal cell identity due to Huntington’s disease mutations

Project description:Huntington’s disease (HD) is a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by a trinucleotide expansion in exon 1 of the huntingtin (Htt) gene. Cell death in HD occurs primarily in striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs), but the involvement of specific MSN subtypes and of other striatal cell types remains poorly understood. To gain insight into cell type-specific disease processes, we studied the nuclear transcriptomes of 4,524 cells from the striatum of a genetically precise knock-in mouse model of the HD mutation, HttQ175/+, and from wildtype controls. We used 14-15-month-old mice, a time point roughly equivalent to an early stage of symptomatic human disease. Cell count distributions indicated selective loss of D2 MSNs and increased microglia in aged HttQ175/+ mice. Thousands of differentially expressed genes were distributed across most striatal cell types, including transcriptional changes in glial populations that are not apparent from RNA-seq of bulk tissue. Reconstruction of cell type-specific transcriptional networks revealed a striking pattern of bidirectional dysregulation for many cell type-specific genes. Typically, these genes were repressed in their primary cell type, yet de-repressed in other striatal cell types. Integration with existing epigenomic and transcriptomic data suggest that partial loss-of-function of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) may underlie many of these transcriptional changes, leading to deficits in the maintenance of cell identity across virtually all cell types in the adult striatum.

Cell Type-Specific Transcriptomics Reveals that Mutant Huntingtin Leads to Mitochondrial RNA Release and Neuronal Innate Immune Activation

Project description:The mechanisms by which mutant Huntingtin leads to neuronal cell death in Huntington’s disease are not fully understood. To gain new molecular insights, we used snRNA-Seq and TRAP to conduct transcriptomic analyses of striatal cell type-specific gene expression changes in human HD and mouse models of HD. In striatal spiny projection neurons we observe a release of mitochondrial RNA and a concomitant upregulation of innate immune signaling in spiny projection neurons. We observe that the released mtRNAs can directly bind to the innate immune sensor PKR. We highlight the importance of studying cell type-specific gene expression dysregulation in HD pathogenesis, and reveal that the activation of innate immune signaling in the most vulnerable HD neurons provides a novel framework to understand the basis of mHTT toxicity and raises new therapeutic opportunities.

Postnatal Conditional Knockout of Bcl11b in Striatal Projection Neurons Mimics the Transcriptional Signature of Huntington’s Disease

Project description:Dysregulation of the striatum is linked to multiple diseases including Huntington’s (HD), Parkinson’s, X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP), addiction, autism, and schizophrenia. Striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs) make up 90% of the neuronal cell type in the striatum and are critical to motor control. The transcription factor Bcl11b (also known as CTIP2) is known to regulate of MSN differentiation, striatal striosome (patch) development and the architecture of the striatum during development. However, the function of Bcl11b adult striatal neurons in vivo has not been investigated. Therefore, we conditionally knocked out Bcl11b specifically in MSNs using D9-cre under the control of a regulatory elements of the mouse Ppp1r1b gene encoding DARPP-32 resulting in knockout around 5-6 weeks of age. Transcriptomic and behavioral analysis were performed on these mice.

In vivo cell-autonomous transcriptional abnormalities revealed in mice expressing mutant huntingtin in striatal but not cortical neurons

Project description:Huntington’s disease (HD), caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene, is characterized by abnormal protein aggregates and motor and cognitive dysfunction. Htt protein is ubiquitously expressed, but the striatal medium spiny neuron (MSN) is most susceptible to neuronal dysfunction and death. Abnormal gene expression represents a core pathogenic feature of HD, but the relative roles of cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous effects on transcription remain unclear. To determine the extent of cell-autonomous dysregulation in the striatum in vivo, we examined genome-wide RNA expression in symptomatic D9-N171-98Q (a.k.a. DE5) transgenic mice in which the forebrain expression of the first 171 amino acids of human Htt with a 98Q repeat expansion is limited to MSNs. Microarray data generated from these mice were compared to those generated on the identical array platform from a pan-neuronal HD mouse model, R6/2, carrying two different CAG repeat lengths, and a relatively high degree of overlap of changes in gene expression was revealed. We further focused on known canonical pathways associated with excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, dopamine signaling and trophic support, among others. While genes related to excitotoxicity, dopamine signaling and trophic support, were altered in both DE5 and R6/2 transgenic mice, which may be either cell-autonomous or non-cell-autonomous,, genes related to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor are primarily affected in DE5 transgenic mice, indicating cell autonomous mechanisms Overall, our results demonstrate that HD-induced dysregulation of the striatal transcriptome can be largely attributed to intrinsic effects of mutant Htt,,such that mutant Htt-induced effects in cortical neurons is not necessary for striatal dysfunction/degeneration.

Transcriptional profiling of cortex and striatal tissue following chronic dosing of PDE10A inhibitor PF-02545920 in a Q175 homozygous knock-in mouse model of Huntington’s disease

Project description:Huntington’s disease (HD) symptoms are driven to a large extent by dysfunction of the basal ganglia circuitry. HD patients exhibit reduced striatal phoshodiesterase 10 (PDE10) levels. Using HD mouse models that exhibit reduced PDE10, we demonstrate the benefit of pharmacologic PDE10 inhibition to acutely correct basal ganglia circuitry deficits. PDE10 inhibition restored corticostriatal input and boosted cortically driven indirect pathway activity. Cyclic nucleotide signaling is impaired in HD models and PDE10 loss may represent a homeostatic adaptation to maintain signaling. Elevation of both cAMP and cGMP by PDE10 inhibition were required for rescue. Phosphoproteomic profiling of striatum in response to PDE10 inhibition highlighted plausible neural substrates responsible for the improvement. Early chronic PDE10 inhibition in Q175 mice showed improvements beyond those seen with acute administration after symptom onset, including partial reversal of striatal deregulated transcripts and the prevention of the emergence of HD neurophysiological deficits.

Transcriptomic (RNA-seq) analysis of wild-type and Nolz1-/- (Zfp503) mutant striatal tissue reveals altered expression of several genes involved in striatal projection neuron specification.

Project description:Midbrain dopaminergic (DA) axons make long longitudinal projections towards target areas in the forebrain, including the striatum. After demonstrating a striatal specific requirement of transcriptional regulator Nolz1 (Zfp503) in regulating DA axon guidance and innervation, we performed RNA-seq analysis on both wild-type and Nolz1-/- mutant striatal tissue. The gene expression analysis revealed a requirement of Nolz1 in regulating striatal projection neuron specification. The RNA-seq results reveal several secreted factors that underlie the observed guidance defects and resulted in the identification of proteins that can restore DA axonal outgrowth.

Striatal genes regulated by super-enhancers and displaying low paused RNAPII are preferentially down-regulated in Huntington’s disease [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Huntington neurodegenerative disease (HD) is associated with extensive down-regulation of neuronal genes. We show preferential down-regulation of super-enhancer-regulated neuronal function genes in the striatum of HD mice. Striatal super-enhancers display extensive H3K27 acetylation within gene bodies and drive transcription characterized by low levels of paused RNAPII. Down-regulation of gene expression is associated with diminished H3K27 acetylation and RNAPII recruitment. Striatal super-enhancers are enriched in binding motifs for Gata transcription factors, such as Gata2 regulating striatal identity genes. Thus, enhancer topography and transcription dynamics are major parameters determining the propensity of a gene to be deregulated in a neurodegenerative disease.

Genomic Analysis Reveals Disruption of Striatal Neuronal Development and Therapeutic Targets in a Human Neural Stem Cell Model of Huntington’s Disease

Project description:We have utilized induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from Huntington’s disease patients (HD iPSCs) as a human model of HD and determined that the disease phenotypes only manifest in the differentiated neural stem cell (NSC) stage, not in iPSCs. To understand the molecular basis for the CAG repeat expansion dependent disease phenotypes in NSCs, we performed transcriptomic analysis of HD iPSCs and HD NSCs compared to isogenic controls using RNA-Seq. Differential gene expression and pathway analysis pointed to TGF-b and netrin-1 as the top dysregulated pathways. Using data driven gene coexpression network analysis, we identified seven distinct coexpression modules, and focused on two that were correlated with changes in gene expression in NSC due to the CAG expansion. Strikingly, our HD NSC model revealed the dysregulation of genes involved in neuronal development and the formation of the dorsal striatum in HD. Further, the striatal specific and neuronal networks disrupted could be modulated to correct HD phenotypes and provide novel therapeutic targets for HD

Foxp1 drives striatal projection neuron specification and organization via cell-type specific mechanism

Project description:The molecular mechanisms that underlie striatal development and organization remain largely unknown. Here, we show that Foxp1, a transcription factor strongly linked to autism and intellectual disability, regulates organizational features of striatal circuitry in a cell-type dependent fashion. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing, we examine the cellular diversity of the early postnatal striatum and demonstrate that Foxp1 specifies a subpopulation of indirect pathway spiny projection neurons (iSPNs) while maintaining the striosome-matrix architecture through molecular mechanisms mediated by direct pathway spiny projection neurons (dSPNs). Functionally, Foxp1 alters striatal projection patterns both cell-autonomously and non-autonomously. We connect these changes in striatal circuitry to distinct behavioral deficits relevant to phenotypes described in patients with FOXP1 loss-of-function mutations. These data reveal novel cell-type specific transcriptional mechanisms underlying distinct features of striatal circuitry and identify Foxp1 as a key regulator of striatal development
