Transcriptomic approach reveals splicing dysregulation in spinocerebellar ataxia type 1

ABSTRACT: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is caused by a polyglutamine expansion in the ATXN1 gene leading to an expanded polyglutamine tract in the ATAXIN-1 protein. Ataxin-1 is broadly expressed throughout the brain and is known to be involved in regulating gene expression; however, it is not yet determined if mutant ataxin-1 regulates alternative splicing events. Utilizing SCA1 mouse models, we performed bulk RNA sequencing and looked for misregulated alternative splicing (mAS) events in SCA1 mouse cerebella. We found that mutant ataxin-1 causes mAS events to occur in the SCA1 mouse cerebella. Furthermore, we showed that abnormal splicing events predominantly occur in cell types that express mutant ataxin-1. Less than 25% of the mAS events were also differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and therefore their transcriptional dysregulation was previously unknown in the context of SCA1. We show through gene ontology analysis that mAS events reveal new biological pathways: mAS events showed changes in structural morphogenesis whereas DEGs showed changes in ion channel and transmembrane transport. We also report that mutant ataxin-1 causes dysregulation of expression of other ataxia-causing genes, providing evidence for molecular basis of clinical similarity among otherwise heterogeneous inherited cerebellar ataxias. We also identified the potential mechanism by which mutant ATXN1 causes mAS through its interaction with RBFOX1.

Transcription profiling of ataxin-null (Atxn-null) vs. wild type mice to investigate spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1)

Project description:Ataxin 1 (Atxn1) is a protein of unknown function associated with cerebellar neurodegeneration in spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1). SCA1 is caused by an expanded polyglutamine within Atxn1 by gain-of-function mechanisms. Lack of Atxn1 in mice triggers motor deficits in the absence of neurodegeneration or apparent neuropathological abnormalities.We extracted RNA from cerebellum of 5 Atxn1-null mice and 5 WT. Cerebellar gene expression profiles at 15 weeks of age were generated usSCA1 ing Affymetrix MOE430A arrays. Identifying the molecular pathways regulated by Atxn1 can provide insights into the early molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal dysfunction.

Therapeutic effects of ASO-mediated reduction of Atxn1 in a SCA1 Mouse Mode: Proof of concept with distinct disease-associated transcriptome profiles in cerebellum and medulla

Project description:RNA-targeting approaches have improved disease symptoms in preclinical rodent models of several neurological diseases. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is a dominantly inherited ataxia caused by expansion of a polyglutamine tract in the encoded protein Ataxin-1 (ATXN1). Despite advances in understanding this CAG repeat/polyglutamine expansion disease, there are still no therapies to alter its progressive fatal course. Here we investigate the therapeutic capability of an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) targeting mouse Atxn1 in Atxn 1 154Q/2Q knockin mice that manifest motor deficits and premature lethality. Following a single ASO treatment at 5 weeks of age, mice demonstrated rescue of these disease-associated phenotypes. In addition, RNA-seq on vehicle-treated Atxn1 154Q/2Q and ASO-treated Atxn1 154Q/2Q mice were used to demonstrate molecular differences between SCA1 pathogenesis in the cerebellum that underlies ataxia with disease in the medulla associated with lethality. Together, these findings support the efficacy and therapeutic importance of directly targeting ATXN1 expression as a strategy to rescue both motor deficits and lethality seen in SCA1.

Capicua-dependent transcriptional changes in adult mouse cerebellum

Project description:Analysis of cerebella from Capicua (Cic) mutant mice and wild-type controls at 28 days of age (P28). Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by expansion of a translated CAG repeat in Ataxin-1 (ATXN1). The transcriptional repressor Cic binds directly to Atxn1 and plays a key role in SCA1 pathogenesis. Two isoforms of Cic, long (Cic-L) and short (Cic-S), are transcribed from alternative promoters. Using embryonic stem cells in which the Cic locus was targeted by an insertion of a genetrap cassette between exon 1 of the Cic-L isoform and exon 1 of the Cic-S isoform, we generated mice that carried this allele and backcrossed these onto a Swiss Webster (CD-1) strain for >6 generations. The resulting Cic-L-/- mice completely lack the Cic-L isoform with ~10% of Cic-S remaining. These data were used to compare with previous microarray data to determine the Cic-depedent pathogenic mechanisms in SCA1. Total RNA from cerebella of wild-type (n=4) and Capicua mutant mice (n=4) at 28 days of age was prepared and labeled according the manufacturer's protocols for the Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array.

Reduction of Protein Kinase A-mediated Phosphorylation of ATXN1-S776 in Purkinje Cells Delays Onset of Ataxia in a SCA1 Mouse Model.

Project description:Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is a polyglutamine (polyQ) repeat neurodegenerative disease in which a primary site of pathogenesis are cerebellar Purkinje cells. In addition to polyQ expansion of ataxin-1 protein (ATXN1), phosphorylation of ATXN1 at the serine 776 residue (ATXN1-pS776) plays a significant role in protein toxicity. Utilizing a biochemical approach, pharmacological agents and cell-based assays, including SCA1 patient iPSC-derived neurons, we examine the role of Protein Kinase A (PKA) as an effector of ATXN1-S776 phosphorylation. We further examine the implications of PKA-mediated phosphorylation at ATXN1-S776 on SCA1 through genetic manipulation of the PKA catalytic subunit Cα in Pcp2-ATXN1[82Q] mice. Here we show that pharmacologic inhibition of S776 phosphorylation in transfected cells and SCA1 patient iPSC-derived neuronal cells lead to a decrease in ATXN1. In vivo, reduction of PKA-mediated ATXN1-pS776 results in enhanced degradation of ATXN1 and improved cerebellar-dependent motor performance. These results provide evidence that PKA is a biologically important kinase for ATXN1-pS776 in cerebellar Purkinje cells.

HMGB1 contributes to mitochondrial DNA damage repair and extends lifespan in mutant ataxin-1 knock-in mice

Project description:Mutant ataxin-1 (Atxn1), which causes spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1), binds to and impairs the function of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a critical nuclear protein that regulates DNA architectural changes essential for DNA damage repair and transcription. In this study, we established that transgenic or virus vector-mediated supplementation of HMGB1 ameliorates motor dysfunction and elongates lifespan in mutant Atxn1 knock-in (Atxn1-KI) mice. We identified mitochondrial DNA damage repair by HMGB1 as a novel molecular basis for this effect, in addition to the mechanisms already associated with HMGB1 function, such as nuclear DNA damage repair and nuclear transcription. The dysfunction and the improvement of mitochondrial DNA damage repair functions are tightly associated with the exacerbation and rescue, respectively, of symptoms, supporting the involvement of mitochondrial DNA quality control by HMGB1 in SCA1 pathology. Moreover, we show that the rescue of Purkinje cell dendrites and dendritic spines by HMGB1 could be downstream effects. Although extracellular HMGB1 triggers inflammation mediated by toll-like receptor and receptor for advanced glycation end products, upregulation of intracellular HMGB1 does not induce such side effects. Thus, viral delivery of HMGB1 is a candidate approach by which to modify the disease progression of SCA1 even after its onset.

Decreasing Mutant ATXN1 Nuclear Localization Improves a Spectrum of SCA1-Like Phenotypes and Brain Region Transcriptomic Profiles

Project description:Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is a dominant trinucleotide repeat neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor dysfunction, cognitive impairment, and premature death. Degeneration of cerebellar Purkinje cells is a frequent and prominent pathological feature of SCA1. We previously showed that transport of ATXN1 to Purkinje cell nuclei is required for pathology, where mutant ATXN1 alters transcription. To examine the role of ATXN1 nuclear localization broadly in SCA1-like disease pathogenesis, CRISPR-Cas9 was used to develop a mouse with an amino acid alteration (K772T) in the nuclear localization sequence of the expanded ATXN1 protein. Characterization of these mice indicates proper nuclear localization of mutant ATXN1 contributes to many disease-like phenotypes including motor dysfunction, cognitive deficits, and premature lethality. RNA sequencing analysis of genes with expression corrected to WT levels in Atxn1175QK772T/2Q mice indicates that transcriptomic aspects of SCA1 pathogenesis differ between the cerebellum, brainstem, cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and striatum.

Cholecystokinin 1 Receptor (Cck1R) Activation Restores Normal mTORC1 signaling and is Protective to Purkinje cells of SCA Mice

Project description:Spinocerebellar Ataxias (SCAs) are a group of genetic diseases characterized by progressive ataxia and neurodegeneration, often in cerebellar Purkinje neurons. A SCA1 mouse model, Pcp2-ATXN1[30Q]D776, has severe ataxia in absence of progressive Purkinje neuron degeneration and death. Previous RNA-seq analyses identified cerebellar up-regulation of the peptide hormone Cholecystokinin (Cck) in Pcp2-ATXN1[30Q]D776 mice. Importantly, absence of Cck1 receptor (Cck1R) in Pcp2-ATXN1[30Q]D776 mice confers a progressive disease with Purkinje neuron death. A Cck1R agonist, A71623 administered to Pcp2-ATXN1[30Q]D776;Cck-/- and Pcp2-AXTN1[82Q] mice dampened Purkinje neuron pathology and associated deficits in motor performance. In addition, A71623 administration improved motor performance of Pcp2-ATXN2[127Q] SCA2 mice. Moreover, the Cck1R agonist A71623 corrected mTORC1 signaling and improved expression of calbindin in cerebella of AXTN1[82Q] and ATXN2[127Q] mice. These results indicate that manipulation of the Cck-Cck1R pathway is a potential therapeutic target for treatment of diseases involving Purkinje neuron degeneration.

Expression data from 6 day-old Atxn1L-/- and Atxn1-/- lung tissues

Project description:Although expansion of a polyglutamine tract in ATAXIN1 (ATXN1) causes Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1, the functions of wild-type ATXN1 and ATAXIN1-Like (ATXN1L) remain poorly understood. To gain insight into the function of these proteins, we generated and characterized Atxn1L-/- and Atxn1-/- ; Atxn1L-/- double mutant animals. We found that Atxn1L -/- mice have several developmental problems including hydrocephalus, omphalocoele and lung alveolarization defects. These phenotypes are more penetrant and severe in Atxn1-/- ; Atxn1L-/- mice, suggesting that Atxn1 and Atxn1L are functionally redundant. To unravel the molecular mechanism underlying the alveolarization defect in Atxn1-/- mice, we carried out microarray analyses using total lung RNA from WT, Atxn1-/- and Atxn1L-/- mice Lung tissues were dissected from 6 day old mice from either Atxn1 heterozyous intercrosses or Atxn1L heterozygous intercrosses. We collected lung tissue samples from 4 pairs of WT and Atxn1-/- amd 3 pairs of WT and Atxn1-/- mice. Total RNA extracted from the samples was subjected to microarray analysis using Affymetrix mouse gene ST 1.0 array. GSM731591-GSM731598 (Atxn1L KO and controls) and GSM731599-GSM731604 (Atxn1 KO and controls) were RMA-processed separately.
