Reduction in nuclear speckles and transcriptome de-regulation in fibroblast of intellectually disabled patients with mutations at the FRAXE site

ABSTRACT: Loss of function of FMR2 due to either hypermethylation of the CpG island as a consequence of the expansion of the CCG repeat near its transcription start site, or internal deletion of FMR2 is considered to be the major cause of FRAXE fragile site associated intellectual disability. FMR2 was shown to be a potent transcription activator as well as an RNA binding protein capable of regulating alternative splicing. Using whole transcriptome approach, we aimed to identify genes regulated by FMR2 and to study their contribution to the underlying causes of intellectual disability in the patients.

FMR2 was shown to be a potent transcription activator as well as an RNA binding protein capable of regulating alternative splicing. Using whole transcriptome approach, we aimed to identify genes regulated by FMR2 and to study their contribution to the underlying causes of intellectual disability in the patients. We subjected total RNA extracted from fibroblasts of FRAXE patients (n=8), and unrelated controls (n=4) to Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST array

RNA sequencing data of Wild Type and Fmr1 KO hippocampal neuron

Project description:Fragile X syndrome (FXS), caused by mutations in fragile X mental retardation 1 gene (FMR1), is a prevailing genetic disorder of intellectual disability and autism. Analysis of transcriptome outcome (differentially expressed genes between WT and Fmr1 KO hippocampal neuron) associated with FXS reveal promising value of gene signature-based computation in repurposing drugs for potential practical treatment.

Site-specific R-loop formation induces CGG repeat contraction and Fragile X gene reactivation

Project description:Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder and a leading cause of intellectual disability. In FXS, the neuronal regulator, FMR1, is epigenetically silenced by a CGG repeat expansion. Here, we investigate conditions under which repeat expansion and gene silencing could be reversed. Surprisingly, inducing formation of R-loops (3-stranded RNA-DNA structures) within FMR1 is sufficient to initiate CGG contraction, promoter demethylation, and FMR1 reactivation. Recruiting RNaseH degrades the R-loop and abolishes the response. Targeting the nascent mRNA for degradation also eliminates the response. Thus, we have identified an exogenous nuclease-free method of contracting CGG repeats and reversing FMR1 silencing. We propose that DNA demethylation, new transcription, and R-loop formation engage in a feed-forward cycle to contract CGG repeats and reactivate FMR1.

Intercepting IRE1 Kinase-FMRP Signaling Prevents Atherosclerosis Progression

Project description:Fragile X Mental Retardation protein (FMRP), widely known for its role in hereditary intellectual disability, is an RNA-binding protein (RBP) that controls translation of select mRNAs. We discovered that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induces phosphorylation of FMRP on a site that is known to enhance translation inhibition of FMRP-bound mRNAs. We show ER stress-induced activation of Inositol requiring enzyme-1 (IRE1), an ER-resident stress-sensing kinase/endoribonuclease, leads to FMRP phosphorylation and to suppression of macrophage cholesterol efflux and apoptotic cell clearance (efferocytosis). Conversely, FMRP-deficiency and pharmacological inhibition of IRE1 kinase activity enhances cholesterol efflux and efferocytosis, reducing atherosclerosis in mice. Our results provide mechanistic insights into how ER stress-induced IRE1 kinase activity contributes to macrophage cholesterol homeostasis and suggest IRE1 inhibition as a promising new way to counteract atherosclerosis.

NONO mutations cause syndromic intellectual disability and inhibitory synaptic defects

Project description:Identifying causes of sporadic intellectual disability remains a considerable medical challenge. Here, we demonstrate that null mutations in the NONO gene, a member of the Drosophila Behavior Human Splicing (DBHS) protein family, are a novel cause of X-linked syndromic intellectual disability. Comparing humans to Nono-deficient mice revealed related behavioral and craniofacial anomalies, as well as global transcriptional dysregulation. Nono-deficient mice also showed deregulation of a large number of synaptic transcripts, causing a disorganization of inhibitory synapses, with impaired postsynaptic scaffolding of gephyrin. Alteration of gephyrin clustering could be rescued by over-expression of Gabra2 in NONO-compromised neurons. These findings link NONO to intellectual disability and first highlight the key role of DBHS proteins in functional organization of GABAergic synapses.

Knockdown and Overexpression of FMR4 in HEK293T cells at 6 and 24 hours

Project description:CGG repeat expansions in the Fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene are responsible for a family of associated disorders characterized by either intellectual disability and autism (Fragile X Syndrome, FXS), or adult-onset neurodegeneration (Fragile X-associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome, FXTAS). However, the FMR1 locus is complex and encodes several long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), whose expression is altered by repeat expansion mutations. The role of these lncRNAs is thus far unknown; therefore we investigated the functionality of FMR4, which we previously identified. “Full”-length expansions of the FMR1 triplet repeat cause silencing of both FMR1 and FMR4, thus we are interested in potential loss-of-function that may add to phenotypic manifestation of FXS. Since the two transcripts do not exhibit cis-regulation of one another, we examined the potential for FMR4 to regulate target genes at distal genomic loci using gene expression microarrays. We identified FMR4-responsive genes, and further investigated their function related to human neural precursor cells. We therefore propose that FMR4’s function is as a gene-regulatory lncRNA and that this transcript may function in normal development. Closer examination of FMR4 increases our understanding of the role of regulatory lncRNA and the consequences of FMR1 repeat expansions. Study design includes 2 timepoints (6 and 24 hrs post-transfection) x 4 conditions (knockdown & control, overexpression & control) x 3 biological replicates. 3 technical replicates were pooled to creat each biological replicate.
