Ube3a-ATS characterization with strand-speicific microarray

ABSTRACT: This strand-specific array is performed to characterize expression features of Ube3a-ATS, including its imprinting status, its exon-intron structure, its transcriptional initiation and termination site as well as its polyadenylation status. The array contains reverse-complementary probes detecting transcripts from both strands and therefore we are able to pick up signal from both Ube3a sense and antisense. By comparing wild-type with various mutants, and total RNA with polyA RNA, we concluded that Ube3a-ATS is a paternally imprinted gene covering the whole gene body of Ube3a in the antisense orientation. It does not have an obvious exon-intron structure. Its transcription initiates at Snrpn major promoter and terminates ~40kb upstream of Ube3a transcriptional start site.

Total RNA from Snrpn-Ube3a maternal deletion mutant (del s-u/+), its wild-type littermate, paternal deletion mutant and its wildtype littermate were analyzed. Mutant mice with S-U maternal deletion and Snrpn promoter paternal deleiton which leads to depletion of Ube3a-ATS (del s-u/0.9 and del s-u/4.8) were also analyzed. polyA RNA was purified from the sample 2 and sample 4. All eight samples were hybridized to the custom 8X60k Agilent CGH array.

Highly parallel SNP genotyping reveals high-resolution landscape of mono-allelic Ube3a expression associated with locus-wide antisense transcription.

Project description:We investigated the allele- and strand-specific transcriptional landscape of a megabase-wide genomic region of mouse Ube3a (ubiquitin protein ligase E3A) by means of a highly parallel SNP genotyping platform. We have successfully identified maternal-specific expression of Ube3a and its antisense counterpart (Ube3a-ATS) in brain, but not in liver. Because of the use of inter-subspecies hybrid mice, this megabase-wide analysis provided high-resolution picture of the transcriptional patterns of this region. First, we showed that brain-specific maternal expression of Ube3a is restricted to the second half part of the locus, but is absent from the first half part. Balance of allelic expression is altered in the middle of the locus. Second, we showed that expression of the brain-specific Ube3a-ATS appeared to be terminated in the region upstream to the Ube3a transcription start site. The present study highlights the importance of locus-wide competition between sense and antisense transcripts.

Highly Parallel SNP Genotyping Reveals High-resolution Landscape of Mono-allelic Ube3a Expression Associated with Locus-wide Antisense Transcription

Project description:Genomic imprinting is a mammalian-specific gene expression regulation system that distinguishes two parental alleles and yields parent-origin-specific gene expression. It has been identified approximately 90 imprinted gene loci in the mouse genome thus far. One of the molecular bases that establish genomic imprinting is through endogenous antisense transcription. In several imprinted loci, antisense transcription is observed in a repressive allele, probably contributing to the parent-origin-specific gene expression establishment. We investigated the allele- and strand-specific transcriptional dynamics of a megabase-wide genomic region of mouse Ube3a (ubiquitin protein ligase E3A), which is maternally expressed in a tissue-specific manner, by means of a highly parallel SNP genotyping platform that targets the tissue transcriptome. We successfully observed higher resolution transcriptional activity in the vicinity, including brain-specific widespread antisense transcription. We have listed up SNP sites within Ube3a-Snurf/Snrpn region between C57BL/6J and MSM/Ms. SNP sites were loaded onto Illumina GoldenGate Assay platform, and were assayed by targeting total RNA came from brain and liver of F1 hybrid mice.

Imprinting effects of UBE3A loss on synaptic gene networks and Wnt signaling pathways

Project description:UBE3A encodes a E3 ubiquitin ligase whose loss from the maternal allele causes the neurodevelopmental disorder Angelman syndrome. Previous studies of UBE3A function have not examined full Ube3a deletion in mouse, the complexity of imprinted gene networks in brain, nor the molecular basis of systems-level cognitive dysfunctions in Angelman syndrome. We therefore utilized a systems biology approach to elucidate how UBE3A loss impacts the early postnatal brain in a novel CRISPR/Cas9 engineered rat Angelman model of a complete Ube3a deletion. Strand-specific transcriptome analysis of offspring from maternally or paternally inherited Ube3a deletions revealed the expected parental expression patterns of Ube3a sense and antisense transcripts by postnatal day 2 (P2) in hypothalamus and day 9 (P9) in cortex, compared to wild-type littermates. The dependency of genome-wide effects on parent-of-origin, Ube3a genotype, and time (P2, P9) was investigated through transcriptome (RNA-seq of cortex and hypothalamus) and methylome (whole genome bisulfite sequencing of hypothalamus). Weighted gene co-expression and co-methylation network analyses identified co-regulated networks in maternally inherited Ube3a deletion offspring enriched in postnatal developmental processes including Wnt signaling, synaptic regulation, neuronal and glial functions, epigenetic regulation, ubiquitin, circadian entrainment, and splicing. Furthermore, we showed that loss of the paternal Ube3a antisense transcript resulted in both unique and overlapping dysregulated gene pathways with maternal loss, predominantly at the level of differential methylation. Together, these results provide a holistic examination of the molecular impacts of UBE3A loss in brain, supporting the existence of interactive epigenetic networks between maternal and paternal transcripts at the Ube3a locus.

UBE3A Deficiency Downregulates Retinoic Acid Signalling Pathway

Project description:Ubiquitin-protein ligase E3A (UBE3A) has dual functions as a E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase and coactivator of nuclear hormone receptors. Mutations or deletions of the maternally inherited UBE3A gene cause Angelman syndrome. Here, we performed transcriptome profiling in the hippocampus of Ube3am+/p+ and Ube3am-/p+ mice, and determined that the expression of the retinoic acid (RA) signalling pathway was downregulated in Ube3a-deficient mice compared to WT mice. Furthermore, we demonstrated that UBE3A directly interacts with RARα and may function as a coactivator of the nuclear receptor RARα to participate in the regulation of gene expression. Loss of UBE3A expression caused the downregulation of the expression of RA-related genes, including Erbb4, Dpysl3, Calb1, Pten and Arhgap5 in Ube3am-/p+ mice brain tissues. This work revealed a new role for UBE3A in regulating retinoic acid (RA) signalling downstream genes and hopefully to shed light on the potential drug target of AS.

AAV vector-derived elements integrate into Cas9-generated double strand breaks and disrupt gene transcription

Project description:We previously found that an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector containing S. aureus Cas9 and a multi-target guide (g)RNA could integrate into the genome and prematurely terminate transcription of Ube3a-ATS, a long non-coding RNA. Here, we assessed the performance of three additional AAV vectors containing S. aureus Cas9 and twenty-five vectors containing N. meningococcus Cas9, all targeting single sites within Ube3a-ATS. We found that none of these single-target gRNA vectors were as effective as multi-target gRNA vectors at reducing Ube3a-ATS expression in neurons. We also developed a new anchored multiplex PCR sequencing (AMP-seq) method and analysis pipeline to quantify the relative frequency of all possible editing events at target sites, including unresolved double-stranded breaks (DSBs) and capture of foreign DNA. We found that integration of AAV was the most frequent editing event (67-89% of all edits) at three different single target sites, far surpassing insertions and deletions (indels). None of the most frequently observed indels was capable of blocking transcription when incorporated into a Ube3a-ATS minigene reporter, whereas two vector derived elements—the polyA and reverse promoter—reduced downstream transcription by up to 50%. Since not all editing events disrupt gene transcription, our findings suggest that the probability that a gene trapping AAV integration event occurs is influenced by which vector-derived element(s) are integrated and by the number of target sites.

Loss of UBE3A impacts both neuronal and non-neuronal cells in human cerebral organoids.

Project description:Angelman syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by (epi)genetic lesions of maternal UBE3A. Research has focused largely on the role of UBE3A in neurons due to its imprinting in that cell type. Yet, evidence suggests there may be broader neurodevelopmental impacts of UBE3A dysregulation. Human cerebral organoids can investigate these understudied aspects of UBE3A as they recapitulate diverse cell types of the developing human brain. We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing on organoids to reveal the effects of UBE3A disruption on cell type-specific transcriptomic alterations and compositions. In the absence of UBE3A, progenitor proliferation and structures were disrupted while organoid composition shifted away from proliferative cell types. We observed impacts on non-neuronal cells including choroid plexus enrichment. Furthermore, EMX1+ cortical progenitors were negatively impacted, disrupting corticogenesis, and potentially delaying neuron maturation. This work reveals novel impacts of UBE3A on understudied cell types and related neurodevelopmental processes and elucidates potential new therapeutic targets.
