Effect of influenza A virus infection during pregnancy on the developing fetal brain

ABSTRACT: Epidemiological studies link NDDs with exposure to maternal viral infection in utero. As the immature brain is vulnerable to insult, it is thought that prenatal inflammation alters neurodevelopmental trajectories, leading to NDD pathologies. Using a biologically relevant mouse model of live influenza (flu) infection during pregnancy, we aim to determine if gestational flu infection triggers detrimental maternal cell signaling that leads to NDD-relevant pathologies in offspring. Overall, this work will improve translation to the clinic and will build a foundation for developing targeted therapeutics for NDDs that can be delivered during gestation.

Cortical Foxp2 supports behavioral flexibility and developmental dopamine D1 receptor expression

Project description:FoxP2 encodes a forkhead box transcription factor required for the development of neural circuits underlying language, vocalization, and motor-skill learning. Recent genetic studies have associated FOXP2 variation with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), and within the cortex, it is coexpressed and interacts with other NDD-associated transcription factors. Cortical Foxp2 is required in mice for proper social interactions, but its role in other NDD-relevant behaviors is unknown. Here, we characterized such behaviors and their potential underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms in cortex-specific Foxp2 conditional knockout mice. These mice showed deficits in reversal learning without increased anxiety or hyperactivity. In contrast, they emitted normal vocalizations save for a decrease in loudness of neonatal calls. These behavioral phenotypes were accompanied by decreases in cortical dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) expression at neonatal and adult stages, while general cortical development remained unaffected. Finally, using single-cell transcriptomics, we identified neonatal D1R-expressing cell types in frontal cortex and found changes in D1R cell type composition and gene expression upon cortical Foxp2 deletion. Together these data support a role for Foxp2 in the development of dopamine-modulated cortical circuits potentially relevant to NDDs.

Fetal brain response to maternal inflammation requires microglia [Maternal_Inflammation]

Project description:In utero infection and maternal inflammation can adversely impact fetal brain development. Maternal systemic illness, even in the absence of direct fetal central nervous system infection, is associated with an increased risk of autism and schizophrenia in affected offspring. The cell types mediating the response of the fetal brain to maternal inflammation are largely unknown, hindering the development of therapies to prevent and treat adverse neuropsychiatric outcomes. Here, we show that microglia are enriched for expression of receptors for relevant pathogens and cytokines throughout embryonic development.

SETD5 haploinsufficiency affects mitochondrial compartment in neural cells

Project description:Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are heterogeneous conditions due to alterations of a variety of molecular mechanisms and cell dysfunctions. Epigenetic basis of NDDs have been reported in an increasingly number of cases while mitochondrial dysfunctions are more common within NDD patients than in the general population. Here, we investigated experimental models of Setd5 haploinsufficiency, that leads to NDDs in humans due to chromatin defects, and uncovered that mitochondrial dysfunction participates in the pathogenesis. Mitochondrial impairment is facilitated by transcriptional aberrations that follow the decrease of SETD5 enzyme. Low levels of SETD5 resulted in fragmented mitochondria, less mitochondrial potential and ATP production both in neural precursors and neurons. Mitochondria were miss-localized in mutant neurons, with few organelles within neurites and synapses. Our study explores the epigenetics/mitochondria interplay as an important aspect of NDD pathophysiology and defines the impairments of mitochondrial functionality and dynamics as new therapeutic targets for disorders associated with loss of SETD5.

In utero heat stress alters the offspring epigenome

Project description:Exposure to intrauterine heat stress during late gestation affects offspring performance into adulthood. However, underlying mechanistic links between thermal insult in fetal life and postnatal outcomes are not completely understood. Utilizing RNA Sequencing, this study characterized the mammary gland transcriptome of heifers that were gestated under maternal conditions of heat stress or cooling, i.e., in utero heat stressed (HT) vs. in utero cooled (CL). Mammary tissues were collected from three HT and three CL heifers during their first lactation.

Autoinhibition of Trio guanine nucleotide exchange factor activity for Rac1 by its spectrin repeats is disrupted by neurodevelopmental disorder-related genetic variants.

Project description:Function-damaging variants in the TRIO gene are enriched in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). TRIO encodes a cytoskeletal regulatory protein with three catalytic domains – two guanine exchange factor (GEF) domains, GEF1 and GEF2, and a kinase domain, as well as several accessory domains that have not been extensively studied. Disease variants in the GEF1 domain or the nine adjacent spectrin repeats (SRs) are enriched in NDDs, suggesting that dysregulated GEF1 activity is linked to these disorders. We provide evidence here that the Trio SRs interact intramolecularly with the GEF1 domain to inhibit its activity. We demonstrate that SRs 6-9 decrease GEF1 catalytic activity both in vitro and in cells and show that NDD-associated variants in the SR8 and GEF1 domains relieve this autoinhibitory constraint. Our results from chemical cross-linking and BioLayer Interferometry indicate that the SRs primarily contact the PH region of the GEF1 domain, reducing GEF1 binding to Rac1. Together, our findings reveal a key regulatory mechanism that is commonly disrupted in multiple NDDs and may offer a new target for therapeutic intervention for TRIO-associated NDDs.

In utero heat stress alters the offspring epigenome [methylation]

Project description:Exposure to intrauterine heat stress during late gestation affects offspring performance into adulthood. However, underlying mechanistic links between thermal insult in fetal life and postnatal outcomes are not completely understood. Utilizing Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing, this study evaluated DNA methylation of liver and mammary gland of bull calves and heifers that were gestated under maternal conditions of heat stress or cooling, i.e., in utero heat stressed (HT) vs. in utero cooled (CL). Liver samples from bull calves (CT = 5 and HT = 4) were collected at birth while mammary gland samples from heifers (CT = 3 and HT = 3) were collected during their first lactation.

Multi-omic brain and behavioral correlates of cell-free fetal DNA methylation in macaque maternal obesity models

Project description:Maternal obesity during pregnancy is associated with neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) risk. We utilized integrative multi-omics to examine maternal obesity effects on offspring neurodevelopment in rhesus macaques by comparison to lean controls and two interventions. Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) from longitudinal maternal blood-derived cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) significantly overlapped with DMRs from infant brain. The DMRs were enriched for neurodevelopmental functions, methylation-sensitive developmental transcription factor motifs, and human NDD DMRs identified from brain and placenta. Brain and cffDNA methylation levels from a large region overlapping mir-663 correlated with maternal obesity, metabolic and immune markers, and infant behavior. A DUX4 hippocampal co-methylation network correlated with maternal obesity, infant behavior, infant hippocampal lipidomic and metabolomic profiles, and maternal blood measurements of DUX4 cffDNA methylation, cytokines, and metabolites. We conclude that in this model, maternal obesity was associated with changes in the infant brain and behavior, and these differences were detectable in pregnancy through integrative analyses of cffDNA methylation with immune and metabolic factors.
