A murine model lacking Lyst recapitulates Chediak-Higashi syndrome with an earlier-onset neurodegenerative phenotype

ABSTRACT: Chediak-Higashi Syndrome (CHS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the lysosomal trafficking regulator (LYST) gene, characterized by partial oculocutaneous albinism, bleeding diathesis, immune deficiency, and progressive neurodegeneration. We generated a Lyst knockout model (ΔLYST-B6) in which to accurately study pathophysiology seen in patients. Here we show the ΔLYST-B6 model faithfully recapitulates characteristic features of CHS, including neurological manifestations at 6 months of age with associated progressive loss of Purkinje cells. Transcriptomic and lipidomic analyses of ΔLYST-B6 brain tissue reveals numerous differentially expressed genes and lipids in the cerebellum of 18-month-old ΔLYST-B6 mice suggesting progressive cerebellar decline and microglial involvement. Immunofluorescence studies implicate a plausible role of Bergmann glia in the pathology of CHS. Our findings demonstrate that the ΔLYST-B6 model recapitulates key features of the human CHS phenotype, including CHS-associated neurodegeneration, and provides a reliable model in which to study the function of LYST and explore future therapies for CHS.

Staging Alzheimer’s disease in brains and retinas of APP/PSEN1 mice by transcriptional profiling

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a common form of dementia characterized by amyloid plaque deposition, TAU pathology, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Mouse models recapitulate some key features of AD. For instance, the B6.APP/PS1 model (carrying human transgenes for mutant forms of APP and PSEN1) shows plaque deposition and associated neuroinflammatory responses involving both astrocytes and microglia beginning around 6 months of age. However, in our colony, TAU pathology, significant neurodegeneration and cognitive decline are not apparent in this model even at older ages. Therefore, this model is ideal for studying neuroinflammatory responses to amyloid deposition. Here, RNA sequencing of brain and retinal tissue, generalized linear modeling (GLM), functional annotation followed by validation by immunofluorescence (IF) was performed in B6.APP/PS1 mice to determine the earliest molecular changes prior to and around the onset of plaque deposition (2-6 months of age).

Analysis of a non-obese diabetes-experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (NOD-EAE)

Project description:The purpose of this study was to analyze and elucidate the mechanisms of non-obese diabetes-experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (NOD-EAE), an animal model of progressive multiple sclerosis (MS), and to compare the pathological features with those observed in human progressive MS. To achieve this, pathological analysis, flow cytometry analysis, immunohistochemical staining, and transcriptome analysis were performed at each pathological stage of the NOD-EAE mice to characterize each pathological stages in the lesion. In the chronic phase of the NOD-EAE mice, fibrosis and lymph follicle formation, characteristic of progressive human MS, were observed. We describe the pathological profile and transcriptome analysis of the NOD-EAE mice and verify that this model has similar features to those of human progressive MS. Our findings suggest that this model recapitulates lymph follicle formation, a disease hallmark of progressive MS, and fibrosis, a feature complicating the pathogenesis of MS in the chronic phase.

Senescence rather than apoptosis of alveolar progenitor cells drives pulmonary fibrosis (human)

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal form of interstitial lung disease associated with progressive scarring of lung tissue and declining pulmonary function in aging individuals. Here we employ data mining and single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) to define candidate drivers of AT2 senescence in IPF lung tissue. We show that AT2 cells isolated from IPF lung tissue exhibit characteristic features of cellular senescence and reduced abundance of Sin3a, critical determinant of endodermal progenitor cell maintenance in the developing lung. Conditional loss of Sin3a within AT2 cells of the adult mouse lung activated a program of p53-dependent cellular senescence and AT2 cell depletion, leading to progressive pulmonary fibrosis. In contrast, ablation of AT2 cells through conditional activation of a DTA toxin gene led to transient fibrosis that resolved over time, suggesting that senescence of AT2 cells was a critical driver of progressive fibrosis. Activation of b6 integrin was observed within a subset of AT2 cells with Sin3a loss-of-function that localized to the advancing margin of advancing fibroproliferative lesions. Systemic inhibition of TGF signaling or delivery of senolytic drugs prevented lung fibrosis in Sin3a loss-of-function mice. Our findings establish a novel mouse model that recapitulates key pathological features of human IPA and show that p53-dependent senescence is a proximal regulator of TGF induction and progressive pulmonary fibrosis.

Nystagmus in the B6(CG)Tyr(c-2J)/J Albino Mouse: A Functional and RNAseq Analysis

Project description:PURPOSE: Infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) is a gaze-holding disorder characterized by conjugate, uncontrolled eye oscillations that can result in significant visual acuity loss. INS is often associated with albinism, but the mechanism is unclear. Albino mice have nystagmus; however, a pigmented mouse with a tyr mutation making it phenotypically albino, the B6(CG)-Tyr(c-2J)/J (B6 albino), had not been tested. We tested optokinetic nystagmus reflexes (OKN) in B6 albino and control mice. RNA-Seq was performed on extraocular muscles (EOM), tibialis anterior muscle (TA), abducens (CN6), and oculomotor (CN3) neurons to uncover molecular differences that could account for nystagmus.

Microarray analysis of iris gene expression in mice with mutations relevant to glaucoma

Project description:Several ocular diseases involve the iris, notably including oculocutaneous albinism, pigment dispersion syndrome, and exfoliation syndrome. To screen for candidate genes that may be active in these diseases, genome-wide iris gene expression patterns were comparatively analyzed from mouse models of these conditions. Irides were obtained from healthy C57Bl/6J, B6-Lystbg-J/J which carry a mutation in the Lyst gene, B6(Cg)-TyrC-2J/J which carry a mutation in the tyr gene, and B6.D2-Tryp1bGpnmbR150X/Sj with mutations in both Tryp1 and Gpnmb. Four eyes from two mice were pooled for one sample. Three samples were prepared for each strain.

Single-cell gene expression data from Bergmann glial cells of mouse cerebellum

Project description:Bergmann glial cells of the vertebrate cerebellum play essential roles in the development and maintenance of cerebellar structure and function. During development, Bergmann glia provide structural support to the expanding cerebellar anlage and also serve as guides for migrating neurons (granule cells). As the cerebellum matures, Bergmann glia become important in dendritic arborization, synapse maintenance and synaptic function. The molecular mechanisms underlying these diverse and important functions of Bergmann glia remain largely unknown. We used microarray analysis to examine global gene expression in individual Bergmann glial cells derived at P6 (a time of extensive neuronal migration and cerebellar growth) and at P30 (when cerebellar development is complete and Bergmann glia play important roles at synapses). After gentle dissociation of cerebellar tissue derived from mice expressing GFP under the GFAP gene promoter (GFAP-GFP mice) (Zhuo, L., et al., 1997, Developmental biology), single GFP-positive Bergmann glial cells were aspirated into microcapillary tubes. Amplified cDNAs were prepared from single cells using RT-PCR and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 expression arrays (one array per cell). Five P6 cells and five P30 cells were used to generate the data presented in this study.

Gene expression profiles of livers and liver tumors from mice fed high-fat diet and high fructose-glucose solution for 52 weeks

Project description:The lack of a preclinical model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and hepatocellular cancer (HCC) that recapitulates human disease is a major barrier to therapeutic development. We report a high fat-high sugar diet-induced NASH and HCC in a stable isogenic 129S1/SvImJ crossed with C57Bl/6J mice. Following diet initiation, there was sequential development of steatosis (4-8 weeks), steatohepatitis with ballooning and Mallory-Denk bodies (12-16 weeks), progressive fibrosis (16 week onwards) and spontaneous HCC (32-52 weeks). The mice developed obesity, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. There was concordance with the human NASH transcriptome (FDR 0.001) with activation of lipogenic, inflammatory and apoptotic pathways relevant in humans. The HCC gene signature resembled S1 and S2 human HCC subclass (FDR 0.01 for both). This simple model of NASH and HCC that resembles human disease in terms of its triggers, physiological and biochemical parameters, histology, transcriptomic profile, and outcomes can facilitate preclinical development for these conditions. 129S1/SvImJ;C57Bl/6J (129/B6) mice were fed with high-fat diet (Western Diet) and high fructose-glucose solution (Sugar Water) (WD SW) or chow diet (CD) for 52 weeks, and total RNA samples were isolated from liver and tumor tissues for genome-wide expression profiling.
