Single cell transcriptomic profiling of human brain organoids reveals developmental timing- and cell-type-specific vulnerabilities induced by NRXN1 CNVs in schizophrenia

ABSTRACT: De novomutations and copy number variations (CNVs) inNRXN1(2p16.3) pose a significant risk for schizophrenia (SCZ). HowNRXN1CNVs impact cortical development in a cell type-specific manner and how disease genetic background modulates these phenotypes are unclear. Here, we leveraged human pluripotent stem cell-derived brain organoid models carryingNRXN1heterozygous deletions in isogenic and SCZ patient genetic backgrounds and conducted single cell transcriptomic analysis over the course of cortical brain organoid development from 3 weeks to 3.5 months. We identified maturing glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons as being consistently impacted due toNRXN1CNVs irrespective of genetic background, contributed in part by altered gene modules in ubiquitin-mediated pathways, splicing, and synaptic signaling. Moreover, while isogenicNRXN1CNVs impact differentiation and maturation of neurons and astroglia, cell composition and developmental trajectories of early neural progenitors are affected in SCZ-NRXN1CNVs. Our study reveals developmental timing dependentNRXN1CNV-induced cellular mechanisms in SCZ at single cell resolution and highlights the emergence of disease-specific transcriptomic signatures and cellular vulnerabilities, which can arise from interaction between genetic variants and disease background.

Cortical astroglia transcriptomic dysregulation in the G93A SOD1 ALS mouse model

Project description:Astroglia are the most abundant cell type in the central nervous system. They play essential roles in the homeostasis of the CNS. Astroglia are extremely diverse. In Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) astroglia in spinal cord undergo dramatic transcriptomic dysregulation. However there is little to no data on the effects that cortical astroglia undergo during ALS pathogenesis. In this study we isolated pure cortical astroglia in end stage ALS mice. We performed microarray analysis and discovered dysregulated pathways and genetic markers. This may serve as a database for scientists to understand the effects that abnormal cortical astroglia have on cortical motor neurons and overall ALS pathology.

Aberrant pace of cortical neuron development in brain organoids from patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and schizophrenia. [miRNA-Seq]

Project description:Adults and children with the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) demonstrate cognitive, social and emotional impairments and markedly increased risk for schizophrenia (SCZ). The alterations in early human brain development resulting from this deletion remain unclear. Here we use organoid models of the developing human cerebral cortex derived from patients with 22q11.2DS and SCZ as well as unaffected controls to identify cell-type-specific developmental abnormalities that result from this genomic lesion. Using RNA-sequencing and follow-up experimental validation we find that loss of genes within the 22q11.2 locus leads to delayed development of cortical neurons.

Neuroligin-3 R451C Induces Gain-of-Function Gene Expression in Astroglia in an Astroglia-Enriched Brain Organoid Model

Project description:Astroglia are integral to brain development and the emergence of neurodevelopmental disorders. However, studying the pathophysiology of human astroglia using brain organoid models has been hindered by inefficient astrogliogenesis. In this study, we introduce a robust method for generating astroglia-enriched organoids through BMP4 treatment during the neural differentiation phase of organoid development. Our RNA sequencing analysis reveals that astroglia developed within these organoids exhibit advanced developmental characteristics and enhanced synaptic functions compared to those grown under traditional two-dimensional conditions, particularly highlighted by increased neurexin (NRXN)-neuroligin (NLGN) signaling. Cell adhesion molecules, such as NRXN and NLGN, are essential in regulating interactions between astroglia and neurons. We further discovered that brain organoids derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) harboring the autism-associated NLGN3 R451C mutation exhibit increased astrogliogenesis. Notably, the NLGN3 R451C astroglia demonstrate enhanced branching, indicating a more intricate morphology. Interestingly, our RNA sequencing data suggest that these mutant astroglia significantly upregulate pathways that support neural functions when compared to isogenic wild-type astroglia. Our findings establish a novel astroglia-enriched organoid model, offering a valuable platform for probing the roles of human astroglia in brain development and related disorders.

A human single cell atlas of the substantia nigra reveals novel cell specific pathways associated with the genetic risk of Parkinson’s disease and neuropsychiatric disorders

Project description:We describe the first human single-nuclei transcriptomic atlas for substantia nigra (SN), generated by sequencing ~ 17,000 nuclei from matched cortical and SN samples. We show that common genetic risk for Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with dopaminergic neuron (DaN)-specific gene expression including mitochondrial functioning, protein folding and ubiquitination pathways. We also identified a distinct cell-type association between PD risk and oligodendrocyte-specific expression implicating metabolic and gene expression regulation networks. Beyond PD, we find SN DaNs and GABAergic neurons to be associated with different neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BP). We identified distinct cortex/SN associations with SCZ genetic risk for both excitatory (synaptic functioning) and dopaminergic neurons (mitochondrial functioning and synaptic signalling). Conditional analyses shows that independent sets of loci associate distinct neuropsychiatric disorders with the same neuronal types. This atlas guides our aetiological understanding by associating SN cell-type expression profiles with specific disease risk.

Single cell gene expression profiles for isogenic PTEN panel iPSC-derived cortical organoids

Project description:Alterations in cortical neurogenesis are implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders including autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Many ASD risk genes have been identified as critical for brain development, but the contribution of genetic backgrounds, although inferred in complex genetic disorders such as ASD, remains unclear. Here, using isogenic induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and cortical organoid models, we report that a heterozygous PTEN p.I135L mutation found in an ASD patient with macrocephaly dysregulates cortical neurogenesis in an ASD genetic background-dependent fashion. We found that this PTEN p.I135L mutation led to overproduction of NPC subtypes as well as neuronal subtypes including both deep and upper layer neurons in its ASD background, but not when introduced into a control genetic background. ASD and control background differences in neurogenesis, neural development and synapse signaling were also observed. These findings provide experimental evidence that both a PTEN p.I135L mutation and ASD genetic background contribute to cellular features consistent with ASD associated with macrocephaly.
