Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a common and etiologically heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder. Although many genetic causes have been identified (>200 ASD-risk genes), no single gene mutation accounts for >1% of all ASD cases. A role for epigenetic mechanisms in ASD etiology is supported by the fact that many ASD-risk genes function as epigenetic regulators and evidence that epigenetic dysregulation can interrupt normal brain development. To investigate the epigenome in patients with ASD, genome-wide DNA methylation (DNAm) was assessed using the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450K array in blood from individuals with ASD of heterogeneous, undefined etiology (n=52) and individuals with 16p11.2 deletions (16p11.2del, n=9) or pathogenic variants in the chromatin modifier CHD8 (CHD8+/-, n=7), two of the most common genomic variants conferring increased risk for ASD. DNAm patterns did not clearly distinguish heterogeneous ASD cases from controls. However, the homogeneous genetically-defined 16p11.2del and CHD8+/- subgroups each exhibited unique DNAm signatures that distinguished 16p11.2del or CHD8+/- individuals from both heterogeneous ASD and control groups with high sensitivity and specificity. These signatures also classified additional 16p11.2del (n=9) and CHD8 (n=9) variants as pathogenic or benign. Our findings that DNAm alterations in each signature targets unique genes in biological pathways relevant to neural development support their functional relevance. Furthermore, genes identified in our CHD8+/- DNAm signature in blood overlapped differentially expressed genes in CHD8+/- human-induced pluripotent cell-derived neurons and cerebral organoids from independent studies. Our study constitutes a novel approach for ASD molecular classification that elucidates the vital cross-talk between genetics and epigenetics in the etiology of ASD.

Project description:Truncating mutations of CHD8, encoding a chromodomain helicase, and of many other genes with diverse functions, are strong-effect risk factors for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), suggesting multiple mechanisms of pathogenesis. We explored the transcriptional networks that CHD8 regulates in neural progenitor cells (NPCs) by reducing its expression and then integrating transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) with genome-wide CHD8 binding (ChIP-seq). Suppressing CHD8 to levels comparable with loss of a single allele caused altered expression of 1,756 genes, 64.9% of which were up-regulated. CHD8 showed widespread binding to chromatin, with 7,324 replicated sites that marked 5,658 genes. Integration of these data suggests that a limited array of direct regulatory effects of CHD8 produced a much larger network of secondary expression changes. Genes indirectly down-regulated (i.e., without CHD8 binding sites) reflect pathways involved in brain development, including synapse formation, neuron differentiation, cell adhesion, and axon guidance, whereas CHD8-bound genes are strongly associated with chromatin modification and transcriptional regulation. Genes associated with ASD were strongly enriched among indirectly down-regulated loci (p = 1.01x10-9) and CHD8-bound genes (p = 4.34x10-3), which align with previously identified co-expression modules during fetal development. We also find an intriguing enrichment of cancer related gene-sets among CHD8-bound genes (p < 1.9x10-11). In vivo suppression of chd8 in zebrafish produced macrocephaly comparable to that of humans with inactivating mutations. These data indicate that heterozygous disruption of CHD8 precipitates a network of gene expression changes involved in neurodevelopmental pathways in which many ASD-associated genes may converge on shared mechanisms of pathogenesis. RNA-seq in NPCs treated with shRNAs targeting CHD8. For controls, NPCs were treated with shRNAs targeting GFP and LacZ. Infection and sequencing was carried out in two separate batches, with one GFP and one LacZ sample in each batch. All samples were sequenced in two technical replicates.

Project description:CHD8 is a putative chromatin remodeling ATPase of the SNF2 family. We found that depletion of CHD8 impairs cell proliferation. In order to identify CHD8 target genes, we performed a transcriptomic analysis of CHD8-depleted cells. CHD8 was knockdown by doxycyclin-dependent expression of a shRNA that target the CHD8 mRNA. Experiment Overall Design: C33KD2 is a stable cell line where expression of a shRNA, that targets the CHD8 mRNA, is dependent on doxycycline. Addition of doxyclycin provokes a significant reduction in the level of CHD8 protein. Total RNA samples coming from C33KD2 cells cultured for 48 hours either with or without 2 µg/ml doxycycline were used to generate complementary RNA labelled with Cy5 with the Agilent Low RNA Input Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit (Agilent Technologies). The reference sample was Stratagene human universal reference and was amplified at the same time as the sample RNA using the same method. Reference samples were labeled using Cy3.

Project description:CHD8, encoding Chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 8, is a top autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) risk gene. To better understanding the molecular links between CHD8 functions and ASD, we have applied the CRISPR/Cas9 technology to knockout one copy of CHD8 in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to mimic the loss of function status that would exist in the developing human embryo prior to neuronal differentiation. Transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) in neural progenitors and early differentiating neurons revealed that CHD8 hemizygosity (CHD8+/-) affected the expression of several thousands of genes, enriched for functions of neural development, β-catenin/Wnt signaling, extracellular matrix, and skeletal system development. Moreover, CHD8 regulates multiple genes implicated in ASD, schizophrenia and genes associated with brain volume. iPSCs derived from a healthy subject were transduced with CRISPR/Cas9 vectors with single guide RNA sequences to target the N-terminal of CHD8 protein to generate truncated mutation seach of the two target sequences. Two clones, one with a 2-bp (KO1) and the other with a 10-bp (KO2) heterozygous deletion were found.The CHD8+/- iPSC lines were used to generate NPCs and early differentiating neurons for RNA-seq analysis, together with samples prepared from the parental clones, for a total of 8 samples (two biological replicates of wild-type (WT) and CHD8+/- at two neurodevelopmental stages).
