The INO80E at 16p11.2 locus increases risk of schizophrenia in humans and induces schizophrenia-like phenotypes in mice

ABSTRACT: Background Chromosome 16p11.2 is one of the most significant loci in the genome-wide association study (GWAS) of schizophrenia. Despite several integrative analyses and functional genomics studies have been carried out to identify possible risk genes, their impacts in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia remain to be fully characterized. Methods We performed expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and summary-data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) analyses to identify schizophrenia risk genes in the 16p11.2 GWAS locus. We constructed the murine model with dysregulated expression of risk gene in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) using stereotaxic injection of Adeno-associated Virus (AAV), followed by behavioral assessments, dendritic spine analyses and RNA sequencing. Findings We identified significant associations between elevated INO80E mRNA expression in frontal cortex and risk of schizophrenia. The mice overexpressing Ino80e in mPFC (Ino80e-OE) exhibited schizophrenia-like behaviors, including increased anxiety behavior, anhedonia, and impaired prepulse inhibition (PPI) when compared with control group. The neuronal sparse labeling assay showed that the density of mushroom spines in the pyramidal neurons of mPFC was significantly decreased in Ino80e-OE mice compared with control mice, accompanied by a notable increase in the density of stubby spines. Transcriptomic analysis in the mPFC revealed significant alterations in the mRNA levels of schizophrenia-related genes and processes related to synapses upon overexpressing Ino80e . Interpretation Our results suggest that upregulation of the Ino80e gene in mPFC may induce schizophrenia-like behaviors in mice, further supporting the hypothesis that INO80E is an authentic risk gene.

Project description:Despite of multiple systematic studies of schizophrenia pathogenesis, reconstruction of the mechanism established on proteomics, metabolomics, and genome-wide significant loci is still a challenging task. We suggested that advanced data for quantitative proteomics, metabolomics, and genome-wide association study (GWAS) may enhance the current evidence and fundamental knowledge about molecular pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Liquide chromatography and ultra-high-resolution mass-spectrometry were utilized for proteomic and metabolomic assay, and high throughput genotyping for the GWAS study. Proteomic and metabolomic results were quantitatively evaluated and overlayed on the GWAS data. After statistical analysis using R-package, the resulting features were associated in a multilayer mode with adjusted biological processes in a reconstructed unified map of molecular events. We have identified 20 DFE proteins that were validated on an independent cohort of patients that are significant for schizophrenia, including ALS, A1AG1, PEDF, VTDB, CERU, APOB, APOH, FASN, GPX3, etc. Almost half of them are new for schizophrenia. The metabolomic survey revealed 18 compounds most of which were the part transformation of tyrosine and steroids with the incline to androgens (androsterone sulfate, thyroliberin, thyroxine, dihydrotestosterone, androstenedione, cholesterol sulfate, metanephrine, dopaquinone, etc.) which were extracted as group-specific determinants that permits to isolate patients with schizophrenia. The GWAS assay revealed 52 loci were integrated into proteome-metabolome data as significantly implicated in schizophrenia. We integrated three layers of omics science (proteomics, metabolomics and GWAS) and quantitative analysis utilized systematic approach to reconstruct the proposed map of molecular events associated with the considered psychopathology. The resulting interplay between different layers emphasized strict implication of lipids metabolism, oxidative stress, imbalance in steroidogenesis and associated impartments of thyroid hormones and sex hormones interconnection. The proposed interplay map can give opportunity in the understanding how the regulation of distinct metabolic axis is achieved and what happens in proteome arrangements to produce a schizophrenia-specific pattern of pathology condition.

Project description:Genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed in 120 patient-parents trio samples from Japanese schizophrenia pedigrees ABSTRACT: Schizophrenia is a devastating neuropsychiatric disorder with genetically complex traits. Genetic variants should explain a considerable portion of the risk for schizophrenia, and genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a potentially powerful tool for identifying the risk variants that underlie the disease. Here, we report the results of a three-stage analysis of three independent cohorts consisting of a total of 2,535 samples from Japanese and Chinese populations for searching schizophrenia susceptibility genes using a GWAS approach. Firstly, we examined 115,770 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 120 patient-parents trio samples from Japanese schizophrenia pedigrees. In stage II, we evaluated 1,632 SNPs (1,159 SNPs of p < 0.01 and 473 SNPs of p < 0.05 that located in previously reported linkage regions). The second sample consisted of 1,012 case-control samples of Japanese origin. The most significant p value was obtained for the SNP in the ELAVL2 [(embryonic lethal, abnormal vision, Drosophila)-like 2] gene located on 9p21.3 (p = 0.00087). In stage III, we scrutinized the ELAVL2 gene by genotyping gene-centric tagSNPs in the third sample set of 293 family samples (1,163 individuals) of Chinese descent and the SNP in the gene showed a nominal association with schizophrenia in Chinese population (p = 0.026). The current data in Asian population would be helpful for deciphering ethnic diversity of schizophrenia etiology. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from peripheral blood samples. SUPPLEMENTARY FILES: CEL files were processed by manufacture's protocol. Genotype data were analyzed with the GeneSpring GT (Varia) 2.0 software package developed by Agilent Technologies (Santa Clara, CA). Matrix tables for the Genetic programs were produced (Linkage format: http://bioinformatics.med.utah.edu/~alun/software/docs/linkage.html) File 1: Matrix file_SNP_Map.txt File 2: Matrix file_Family_Information.txt File 3: Matrix file_Pedigree_Format.txt (Genotyping data of Linkage format) Transmission disequilibrium test was performed using the R program (http://www.r-project.org).

Project description:The transition to motherhood involves CNS changes that modify sociability and affective state. However, these changes also put females at risk for postpartum depression and psychosis, which impairs parenting abilities and adversely affects children. Thus, changes in expression and interactions in a core subset of genes may be critical for emergence of a healthy maternal phenotype, but inappropriate changes of the same genes could put women at risk for postpartum disorders. This study evaluated microarray gene expression changes in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), a region implicated in both maternal behavior and psychiatric disorders. Postpartum mice were compared to virgin controls housed with females and isolated for identical durations. Using the Modular Single-set Enrichment Test (MSET), we found that the genetic landscape of maternal mPFC bears statistical similarity to gene databases associated with schizophrenia (5 of 5 sets) and bipolar disorder (BPD, 3 of 3 sets). In contrast to previous studies of maternal lateral septum and medial preoptic area, enrichment of autism and depression-linked genes was not significant (2 of 9 sets, 0 of 4 sets). Among genes linked to multiple disorders were fatty acid binding protein 7 (Fabp7), glutamate metabotropic receptor 3 (Grm3), platelet derived growth factor, beta polypeptide (Pdgfrb), and nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group D, member 1 (Nr1d1). RT-qPCR confirmed these gene changes as well as FMS-like tyrosine kinase 1 (Flt1) and proenkephalin (Penk). Systems-level methods revealed involvement of developmental gene networks in establishing the maternal phenotype and indirectly suggested a role for numerous microRNAs and transcription factors in mediating expression changes. Together, this study suggests that a subset of genes involved in shaping the healthy maternal brain may also be dysregulated in mental health disorders and put females at risk for postpartum psychosis with aspects of schizophrenia and BPD. In total, 10 total RNA samples derived from micropunched medial prefrontal cortex were used for microarray analysis: 5 samples from lactating maternal mice (maternal) and 5 samples from age-matched virgin mice (virgin). All samples are biological replicates.
