Characterization of SMA Type II Skeletal Muscle from Treated Patients shows Mitochondrial Deficiency and Denervation

ABSTRACT: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a recessive, developmental disorder caused by the genetic loss or mutation of the gene SMN1 (Survival of Motor Neuron 1). SMA is characterized by neuromuscular symptoms and muscle weakness. Several years ago, SMA treatment underwent a radical transformation, with the approval of three different SMN-dependent disease modifying therapies. This includes two SMN2 splicing therapies - Risdiplam and Nusinersen. One main challenge for Type II SMA patients treated with these drugs is ongoing muscle fatigue, limited mobility, and other skeletal problems. To date, few molecular studies have been conducted on SMA-patient derived tissues after treatment, limiting our understanding of what targets remain after the principal spinal cord targeted therapies are applied. Therefore, we collected paravertebral muscle from eight Type II patients undergoing spinal surgery for scoliosis and seven controls. We used RNA-sequencing to characterize their transcriptional profiles and correlate these with muscle histology. Despite the limited cohort size and heterogeneity, we observed a consistent loss of oxidative phosphorylation machinery of the mitochondria, a decrease in mitochondrial DNA copy number, and a correlation between signals of cellular stress, denervation and increased fibrosis. This work provides new putative targets for combination therapies for Type II SMA.

Counteracting chromatin effects of a splicing-correcting antisense oligonucleotide improves its therapeutic efficacy in spinal muscular atrophy

Project description:Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a motor-neuron disease caused by mutations of the SMN1 gene. The human paralog SMN2, whose exon 7 (E7) is predominantly skipped cannot compensate for the lack of SMN1. Nusinersen is an antisense oligonucleotide that upregulates E7 inclusion and SMN protein levels by displacing the splicing repressors hnRNPA1/A2 from their target site in intron 7. We show that, by promoting transcriptional elongation, the histone deacetylase inhibitor VPA cooperates with nusinersen to promote E7 inclusion. Surprisingly, nusinersen promotes the deployment of the silencing histone mark H3K9me2 on the SMN2 gene, creating a roadblock to PolII elongation that inhibits E7 inclusion. By removing the roadblock, VPA counteracts the undesired chromatin effects of nusinersen, resulting in higher E7 inclusion, without large pleiotropic effects, as assessed by genome-wide analyses. Combined administration of nusinersen and VPA in SMA mice strongly synergized in SMN expression, growth, survival, and neuromuscular function.

Type I PRMT inhibitor MS023 promotes SMN2 exon 7 inclusion and synergizes with nusinersen to rescue the phenotype of SMA mice

Project description:In our study we have identified MS023, an inhibitor of PRMTs, to increase SMN protein and FL SMN2 transcript levels, and to improve survival and weights of treated SMA mice, alone and in combination with currently approved antisense oligonucleotide. In order to understand the molecular underpinnings of the added benefit provided by the combinatorial treatment, we performed bulk transcriptomic analysis in spinal cords of SMA mice treated with MS023 only, nusinersen only, and MS023 in combination with nusinersen, compared to wild type and SMA littermates.

Expression data from SMA fibroblasts treated with amiloride or EIPA

Project description:Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive, pediatric-onset disorder caused by the loss of spinal motor neurons thereby leading to generalized muscle atrophy. SMA is caused by the loss of or mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. SMN1 is duplicated only in human to give rise to the paralogous SMN2 gene. These paralogs are nearly identical except for a cytosine to thymine (C-to-T) transition within an exonic splicing enhancer (ESE) element within exon 7. As a result, the majority of SMN2 transcripts lack exon 7 (SMNΔ7) which produces a truncated and unstable SMN protein. Since SMN2 copy number is inversely related to disease severity, it is a well-established target for SMA therapeutics development. 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride (EIPA), an inhibitor of sodium/proton exchangers (NHEs), has previously been shown to increase exon 7 inclusion and SMN protein levels in SMA cells. In this study several different types of NHE inhibitors were evaluated for their ability to modulate SMN2 expression. EIPA as well as 5-(N,N-hexamethylene)amiloride (HMA) increase exon 7 inclusion in SMN2 splicing reporter lines as well as in SMA fibroblasts. The EIPA-induced exon 7 inclusion occurs via a mechanism unique from that used by RG7800, another SMN2 splicing modulator, and does not involve previously identified splicing factors. Transcriptome analysis identified novel targets, including TIA1 and FABP3, for further characterization. EIPA and HMA are more selective at inhibiting the NHE5 isoform, which is expressed in fibroblasts as well as in neuronal cells. These results show that NHE5 inhibition increases SMN2 expression and may be a novel target for therapeutics development.

Transcriptome profiling of severe spinal muscular atrophy mouse embryonic stem cell-derived motor neurons

Project description:Proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an early onset, autosomal recessive motor neuron disease caused by loss of or mutation in SMN1 (survival motor neuron 1). Despite understanding the genetic basis underlying this disease, it is still not known why motor neurons (MNs) are selectively affected by the loss of the ubiquitously expressed SMN protein. Using a mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) model for severe SMA, the RNA transcript profiles (transcriptomes) between control and severe SMA (SMN2+/+;mSmn-/-) mESC-derived MNs were compared in this study using massively parallel RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). The MN differentiation efficiencies between control and severe SMA mESCs were similar. RNA-Seq analysis identified 3094 upregulated and 6964 downregulated transcripts in SMA mESC-derived MNs when compared against control cells. Pathway and network analysis of the differentially expressed RNA transcripts showed that pluripotency and cell proliferation transcripts were significantly increased in SMA MNs while transcripts related to neuronal development and activity were reduced. The differential expression of selected transcripts such as Crabp1, Crabp2 and Nkx2.2 was validated in a second mESC model for SMA as well as in the spinal cords of low copy SMN2 severe SMA mice. Furthermore, the levels of these selected transcripts were restored in high copy SMN2 rescue mouse spinal cords when compared against low copy SMN2 severe SMA mice. These findings suggest that SMN deficiency affects processes critical for normal development and maintenance of MNs. RNA profiles were generated from FACS-purified control and SMA mESC-derived motor neurons (n=3/genotype) by deep sequencing using Illumina HighSeq 2500

The molecular bases of spinal muscular atrophy

Project description:Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by the absence of a functional Survival of Motor Neuron 1 gene (SMN1). The nearly identical paralog, SMN2, cannot compensate for the loss of SMN1 because exon 7 is aberrantly skipped from most SMN2 transcripts, a process mediated by synergistic activities of Sam68/KHDR1 and hnRNP A1. This results in the production of a truncated, non-functional protein that is rapidly degraded. Here we present several crystal structures of Sam68 RNA-binding domain (RBD). Sam68-RBD forms stable symmetric homodimers by antiparallel association of helices α3 from two monomers. However, the details of domain organization and the dimerization interface differ significantly from previously characterized homologs. We demonstrate that Sam68 and hnRNP A1 bind proximal but distinct motifs within the central region of SMN2(ex7). Our findings have important implications for the etiology of SMA and open new avenues for the design of novel therapeutics to treat splicing diseases.

Global gene expression profile and splicing events of iPS-derived motorneurons from SMA patient, unaffected father and TGC-treated cells

Project description:Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive motor neuron disease and is the second most common genetic disorder leading to death in childhood. Motoneurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) obtained by reprogramming SMA patient and his healthy father fibroblasts, and genetically corrected SMA-iPSC obtained converting SMN2 into SMN1 with target gene correction (TGC), were used to study gene expression and splicing events linked to pathogenetic mechanisms. Microarray technology was used to assess the global gene expression profile as well as splicing events of iPS-derived motorneurons from SMA patient, unaffected father and TGC-treated cells. The microarray data derived from three different groups: SMA patient, healty father and treated SMA patient's cells. Each population consists of three RNA profiling cell samples.

Skeletal muscle mitochondrial dysfunction in spinal muscular atrophy

Project description:The survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene is the causative gene for the spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) disease, the first genetic cause of infant mortality. It affects primarily motor neurons which are the targets of the approved genetic therapies aimed to compensate for the loss of SMN1. However, the limitations of these therapies are now evident since they are not cures, and alternative strategies need to be investigated. Because of the ubiquitous and multifunctional roles of SMN1 in the cell, deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying intrinsic abnormalities of the different tissues affected by SMA is crucial for the development of new therapeutic approaches. Here we used a muscle specific genetic mouse model for the identification of key cellular processes associated to SMN1 loss, at single myofiber level. We found that mitochondrial dysfunction is a key pathogenetic event in SMA: mitochondria are abnormal with internal degenerated cristae. The ultrastructural changes are coincident with alterations in ROS levels by monoamine oxidase A and Ca2+ homeostasis. Interestingly, the improvements of the myopathic phenotype of the muscle-specific SMA model mice by transplantation of amniotic fluid stem (AFS) cells led to restore mitochondrial function. Our data suggest that a mitochondria-targeting therapy may represent a complementary and broad treatment strategy to further optimize the current treatment.
