Genome-wide methylation analysis of post-mortem cerebellum samples supports the role of peroxisomes in autism spectrum disorder

ABSTRACT: We tested the hypothesis that a subset of patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) contains candidate genes with high DNA methylation differences (effective values) that potentially affect one of the two alleles. Genome-wide DNA methylation comparisons were made on cerebellum samples from 30 patients and 45 controls. Twelve genes with high effective values, including GSDMD, MMACHC, SLC6A5 and NKX6-2, implicated in ASD and other neuropsychiatric disorders were identified. Monoallelic promoter methylation and downregulation were observed for SERHL (serine hydrolase-like) and CAT (catalase) genes associated with peroxisome function. These data are consistent with the hypothesis implicating impaired peroxisome function/biogenesis for ASD. A similar approach holds promise for identifying rare epimutations in ASD and other complex disorders.

Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing of Autism and Control Human BA9 Cortex

Project description:Autism spectrum disorders (ASD), characterized by lack of social and communicative behaviors, have complex etiologies involving multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. Epigenetic information, such as brain DNA methylation patterns, is predicted to reveal insight into the gene networks, cell types, and developmental timing of ASD etiology, but prior methylation studies in ASD have been limited by platform or data integration. Here, we used whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) to examine DNA methylation genome wide in Brodmann Area 9 of dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex of ASD and Control samples.

Peroxisomes are dispensable for normal renal function.

Project description:Peroxisomes are highly abundant in proximal tubules where peroxisomal enzymes have been proposed to play an important role in a variety of metabolic and antioxidant functions. This hypothesis was supported by human genetic studies that identified mutations leading to peroxisomal biogenesis deficiency, resulting in severe multi-organ damage (Zellweger’s spectrum disorders (ZSD)), including renal impairment. However, the role of proximal tubule peroxisomes in renal (patho)physiology remains uninvestigated. We addressed this question in mice with conditional ablation of peroxisomal biogenesis in the renal tubule. Our results demonstrate that renal tubular peroxisomes are dispensable for normal renal function and suggest that renal damage in ZSD patients is of extrarenal origin.

Investigation of post-transcriptional gene regulatory networks associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) by microRNA expression profiling of lymphoblastoid cell lines

Project description:Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by abnormalities in reciprocal social interactions and language development and/or usage, and by restricted interests and repetitive behaviors. Differential gene expression of neurologically relevant genes in lymphoblastoid cell lines from monozygotic twins discordant in diagnosis or severity of autism suggested that epigenetic factors such as DNA methylation or microRNAs (miRNAs) may be involved in ASD. The goal of this study was to reveal dysregulation in miRNA levels that are inversely correlated with altered levels of target genes that, in turn, may be associated with the underlying pathophysiology of ASD, and to provide a better understanding of the role of miRNAs as a post-transcriptional gene regulatory mechanism associated with ASD.

Integrative Omics reveals changes in the cellular landscape of yeast without peroxisomes

Project description:Peroxisomes are organelles that are crucial for cellular metabolism. However, these organelles play also important roles in non-metabolic processes, such as signalling. To uncover the consequences of peroxisome deficiency, we compared two extremes, namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae wild-type and pex3 cells, which lack functional peroxisomes, employing transcriptomics and quantitative proteomics technology. Cells were grown on acetate, a carbon source that involves peroxisomal enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle and does not repress peroxisomal proteins. Transcripts of peroxisomal β-oxidation genes and the corresponding proteins were enhanced in pex3 cells. Peroxisome-deficiency also caused reduced levels of membrane bound peroxins, while the soluble receptors Pex5 and Pex7 were enhanced at the protein level. In addition, we observed alterations in non-peroxisomal transcripts and proteins, especially mitochondrial proteins involved in respiration or import processes. Our results not only reveal the impact of the absence of peroxisomes in yeast, but also represent a rich resource of candidate genes/proteins that are relevant in peroxisome biology.

A genome-wide screen for peroxisome regulators connects peroxisomes with Wnt signaling through RNF146 and tankyrase

Project description:Peroxisomes are membrane-bound organelles that help cells specialize their metabolism. In humans, peroxisomes are required for normal development, yet the genes regulating peroxisome function remain unclear. Thus, we performed a genome-wide CRISPRi screen to identify novel factors involved in peroxisomal homeostasis. We found that transcriptional inhibition of RNF146, an E3 ligase activated by poly(ADP-ribose), dramatically reduced the import of proteins into peroxisomes. The observed RNF146-mediated loss of peroxisome import depended on the stabilization and activity of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase tankyrase, which binds the peroxisomal membrane protein PEX14. We propose a model in which RNF146 and tankyrase regulate peroxisome import efficiency by tuning PARsylation of proteins at the peroxisome membrane. Interestingly, we found that perturbations to peroxisomes altered tankyrase’s selection of substrates, including the beta-catenin destruction complex component AXIN1. The loss of peroxisomes caused tankyrase and RNF146-dependent degradation of AXIN1 and a concomitant increase of beta-catenin transcription. Together, these observations not only suggest previously undescribed roles for RNF146 in peroxisomal regulation, but also a novel role in bridging peroxisome function with Wnt/beta-catenin signaling during development.

Transcriptomic signatures of risk genes implicated in psychiatric disorders during neuronal differentiation

Project description:Susceptibility genes for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), monogenetic disorders with intellectual disabilities (ID) or schizophrenia (SCZ) converge on processes related to neuronal function and differentiation. Furthermore, ASD risk genes are enriched for FMRP (Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein) targets and for genes implicated in ID. In addition, a significant co-heritability was observed between ASD and SCZ. The genetic overlap between ASD, FXS, ID and SCZ together with the symptomatic differences gives rise to the question if pathomechanisms impair the same or different regulatory patterns activated during neuronal differentiation (ND). To test this idea, we performed transcriptome analysis of in-vitro differentiation of the neuroblastoma cell line model SH-SY5Y and identified genes that were differentially expressed, dynamically regulated, and coordinately expressed. The identified genetic modules activated during ND are enriched for genetic risk factors for these four disorders. Although risk genes for the disorders significantly overlap, we observed disorder specific enrichments: ASD or FXS implicated genes were likely to be positive regulators of ND whereas ID implicated genes were related to negative regulation. ASD and SCZ genes were specifically enriched among cholesterol and fatty acid associated modules. ID genes were overrepresented among cell cycle modules. In addition, we show that ASD genes are likely to be hub genes. We hypothesize that knowledge about genetic variants of an individual combined with network and pathway context of the related genes will allow differentiating between psychiatric disorders. 21 samples, consisting of 3 replicates harvested at 7 different time-points of RA+BDNF-induced neuronal differentiation

Hepatitis C virus alters the morphology and function of peroxisomes.

Project description:Despite the introduction of effective treatments for hepatitis C in clinics, issues remain regarding the liver diseases induced by chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. HCV is known to disturb the metabolism of infected cells, especially lipid metabolism and redox balance, but the mechanisms leading to HCV-induced pathogenesis are still poorly understood. In an APEX2-based proximity biotinylation screen, we identified ACBD5, a peroxisome membrane protein, as located in the vicinity of HCV replication complexes. Confocal microscopy confirmed the relocation of peroxisomes near HCV replication complexes and indicated that their morphology and number are altered in approximately 30% of infected Huh-7 cells. Peroxisomes are small versatile organelles involved among other functions in lipid metabolism and ROS regulation. To determine their importance in the HCV life cycle, we generated Huh-7 cells devoid of peroxisomes by inactivating the PEX5 and PEX3 genes using CRISPR/Cas9 and found that the absence of peroxisomes had no impact on replication kinetics or infectious titers of HCV strains JFH1 and DBN3a. The impact of HCV on peroxisomal functions was assessed using sub-genomic replicons. An increase of ROS was measured in peroxisomes of replicon-containing cells, and this increase was more pronounced than in mitochondria or the cytosol, suggesting that the redox balance of peroxisomes is specifically impaired in cells replicating HCV. Our study provides evidence that peroxisome function and morphology are altered in HCV-infected cells.
