Project description:To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the congenital anomalies observed in patients with Trisomy 18, we compared gene expression in uncultured amniotic fluid supernatant samples from second trimester fetuses with Trisomy 18 and from euploid controls. Analysis of differential expression using both individual-gene and gene-set or pathway methods indicated disrupted function in ion transport, MHCII/T-cell mediated immunity, DNA repair, G-protein mediated signaling, kinases, and glycosylation. Significant down-regulation of genes involved in adrenal development was also identified in the trisomic fetuses, possibly explaining both the abnormal maternal serum estriols and the pre- and postnatal growth restriction found in this condition. We compared expression in five female fetuses with confirmed metaphase karotypes 47, XX, +18 and six female controls (46, XX). The gestational ages of the samples ranged from 17 5/7 to 20 6/7 weeks.

Project description:In order to characterize the differences between second trimester Down syndrome (DS) and euploid fetuses, we compared gene expression in uncultured amniotic fluid supernatant samples. We identified individually differentially expressed genes via paired t-tests in the matched samples, and a set of differentially expressed genes on chromosome 21 using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis. Functional pathway analysis of the resulting genes highlighted the importance of oxidative stress, ion transport, and G-protein signaling in the DS fetuses.

Project description:Background: Among full autosomal trisomies, only trisomies of chromosome 21 (Down syndrome, DS), 18 (Edward syndrome, ES) and 13 (Patau syndrome, PS) are compatible with postnatal survival. But the mechanisms, how a supernumerary chromosome disrupts the normal development and causes specific phenotypes, are still not fully explained. As an alternative to gene dosage effects due to the trisomic chromosome, a genome-wide transcriptional dysregulation has been postulated. The aim of this study was to define the transcriptional changes in trisomy 13, 18, and 21 during early fetal development in order to define whether (1) overexpression of genes of the trisomic chromosome contributes solely to the phenotype, if (2) all genes of the trisomic chromosome are upregulated similarly and whether the ratio of gene expression is in agreement with the gene dosis, (3) whether the different trisomies behave similarly in the characteristics of transcriptional dysregulation, and (4) whether transcriptional pattern can be potentially used in prenatal diagnosis. Methods: Using oligonucleotide microarrays (Affymetrix, U133 Plus 2.0), we analyzed whole genome expression profiles representing 54.000 probe sets in cultured amniocytes (AC) and chorion villus cells (CV) from pregnancies with a normal karyotype and with trisomies of human chromosomes 21, 18 and 13. Findings: We observed a low to moderate up-regulation for a subset of genes of the trisomic chromosomes. Transcriptional level of approximately 12-13 % of the supernumerary chromosome appeared similar to the respective chromosome pair in normal karyotypes. Expression values as well as the expression patterns of genes from the trisomic chromosome can distinguish the respective trisomic samples from euploid controls. A subset of chromosome 21-genes including the DSCR1-gene involved in fetal heart development was consistently up-regulated in different tissues (AC, CV) of trisomy 21 fetuses whereas only minor changes were found for genes of all other chromosomes. In contrast, in trisomy 13 and trisomy 18 vigorous downstream transcriptional changes were found. Interpretation: Global transcriptome analysis for autosomal trisomies 13, 18, and 21 supported a combination of the two major hypotheses. As several transcriptional pathways are altered, complex regulatory mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of autosomal trisomies. A genome-wide transcriptional dysregulation was predominantly observed in trisomies 13 and 18, whereas a more to chromosome 21 restricted expression alteration was found in trisomy 21. Experiment Overall Design: The study included the following samples: Three samples with normal chromosomes in Amniocytes (AC) and chorion villus cells (CV) each, three samples with trisomy 13 in AC, three samples with trisomy 18 in CV, and three samples with trisomy 21 in AC and CV each.

Project description:We modeled human Trisomy 21 primitive hematopoiesis using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Primitive multipotent progenitor populations generated from Trisomy 21 iPSCs showed normal proliferative capacity and megakaryocyte production, enhanced erythropoiesis and reduced myeloid development compared to euploid iPSCs.

Project description:Congenital development disorders with variable severity occur in trisomy 21. However, how these phenotypic abnormalities develop with variations remains elusive. We hypothesize that the difference in euploidy gene expression variation among trisomy 21 tissues are perturbed by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21 and this may contribute to the phenotypic variations in Down syndrome. Experiment Overall Design: We used DNA microarray to measure the differences in gene expression variance (representing variation) between four human trisomy 21 amniocytes and six human euploid amniocytes.

Project description:Down syndrome (DS) is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21. We are characterizing protein changes in human skin fibroblasts. We propose to study corresponding changes at the DNA level (by SNP analysis) and the RNA level (using Affymetrix chips). These studies will detail transcriptional and translational regulation in trisomy. The Specific Aim is to obtain data on RNA transcript levels using Affymetrix expression arrays in a group of trisomy 21 and euploid fibroblast cell lines. In parallel, we will acquire SNP data to determine both genotype (call) and copy number changes for trisomic samples. The results will allow us to identify the patterns of change in a trisomic chromosome (relative to control). [1] We hypothesize that in genomic DNA samples derived from trisomy 21 (TS21) fibroblasts there will be an increased copy number on chr21 with additional microdeletions and microdeletions. [2] We hypothesize that the RNA transcripts derived from chr21 will be elevated relative to euploid controls. [3] We hypothesize that altered RNA transcript levels will be significantly correlated with altered protein levels from these same fibroblast cell lines. The experimental design is as follows. All samples are from deidentified individuals and were obtained from the Brain and Tissue Bank for Developmental Disorders at the University of Maryland, with Johns Hopkins IRB approval.[1] There are five trisomy 21 samples and five euploid samples (total n=10). Fibroblasts were grown in culture to comparable confluency and passage number. Cells were harvested. Total RNA was isolated with a Qiagen kit. The quantity and purity of the RNA was confirmed by spectrophotometry and by electrophoresing an aliquot on a 1% agarose gel. Approximately 10 micrograms of total RNA will be sent to TGen on dry ice for analysis on Affymetrix U133 PlusTwo arrays. Data analysis will be with Affymetrix and Partek software.

Project description:Background: Turner syndrome, a common sex chromosome aneuploidy, has characteristics and malformations associated with the phenotype. Fetal amniotic fluid is a complex biological material that could contribute to the understanding Turner syndrome pathogenesis. Global gene expression analysis of Turner syndrome fetal amniotic fluid supernatant was utilized to identify organ systems and specific genes that may play a role in the pathophysiologic changes that are seen in individuals with Turner syndrome. Methods: Global gene expression analysis was performed utilizing cell-free RNA from five midtrimester fetuses with Turner syndrome matched with five euploid female fetuses. Total RNA was extracted, amplified, hybridized onto GeneChipM-BM-. Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. Network and pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes were completed. Chromosomal distribution of gene expression differences, differential expression by pathway and organ system (a M-bM-^@M-^\Turner syndrome core transcriptomeM-bM-^@M-^]), and candidate genes that could play a pathological role were identified. Results: There were 470 differentially expressed genes identified in the Turner syndrome transcriptome. The differentially expressed genes were distributed randomly across different chromosomes. Among genes on the X chromosome, XIST was down-regulated, and SHOX not differentially expressed. The most highly represented organ systems were hematologic/immune and neurologic. Increased representation of differentially expressed genes in the hematologic/immune system distinguishes the Turner syndrome transcriptome from the euploid, trisomy 18 and trisomy 21 transcriptomes previously studied in our laboratory. Manual curation of the differentially expressed gene list identified genes including NFATC3, IGFBP5, and LDLR that warrant further study. 2nd trimester amniotic fluid mRNA expression was compared between 5 Turners and 5 euploid fetuses.
