Transcriptome profiling of human neural progenitor cells and neurons with DISC1 interruption

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Genetic and clinical association studies have identified disrupted-in-schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) as a candidate risk gene for major mental illness. DISC1 is interrupted by a balanced chr(1;11) translocation in a Scottish family, in which the translocation predisposes to psychiatric disorders. We investigate the consequences of DISC1 interruption in human neural cells using TALENs or CRISPR-Cas9 to target the DISC1 locus. We sought to compare the gene expression profiles of human neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and neurons with interruption of the DISC1 gene in exon 2 (affecting all known coding transcripts) or exon 8 (near the site of the Scottish translocation, affecting longer transcripts). Methods: Wild-type and DISC1-targeted iPSCs (wild-type = "WT", exon 8 single allelic frameshift mutant = "ex8_wm", exon 8 biallelic frameshift mutant = "ex8_mm", exon 2 biallelic frameshift mutant = "ex2mm") were differentiated to NPCs and neurons using an embryoid aggregate method. NPC or neuronal cultures were used for RNA harvest and subsequent paired-end stranded sequencing of >50M reads/sample and 3-6 biological replicates per group. Results: We find that a subset of genes related to neuronal differentiation and development are dysregulated with DISC1 disruption at the NPC timepoint, whereas expression of genes related to neuronal function and signaling are altered at the neuronal timepoint. This study implicates DISC1 as a regulator of neuronal development.

Transcriptional consequences of DISC1 knockdown in human neural progenitor cells

Project description:Background: One of the strongest identified risk factors for major psychiatric illness is a chromosomal translocation directly disrupting the DISC1 gene, which is observed in members of a large Scottish family. Although DISC1 is known to function through a variety of molecular pathways, no global assessment of the molecular consequences of cellular DISC1 perturbation has been carried out to date. Methods: Predicted effects of the t(1;11)(q42;q14) translocation on DISC1 expression were modelled in neural progenitor cells derived from human fetal cortex using RNA interference (RNAi). Downstream effects on the cellular transcriptome were assessed by microarray. The reproducibility of individual gene expression changes was tested in repeat experiments by quantitative PCR.Results: A total of 54 genes were differentially expressed between the DISC1 and control siRNA conditions at a false discovery rate (FDR) â¤ 0.05 in the primary experiment. Differentially expressed genes were significantly over-represented in Gene Ontology terms relating to the cell cycle, but included genes involved in a variety of other functions. Several genes showing reproducible differences in gene expression have been previously implicated in psychiatric disorders. Most consistent gene expression differences were seen for CCND2, MEG3, SPOCK2 and GABRA5. Total RNA extracted from human neural progenitor cells manipulated with either of two siRNAs: control siRNA or siRNA targeting DISC1 . 3 replicates per group. Genome wide transcript levels were then measured using gene expression microarrays.

RNA-seq of oligodendroglia progenitor cells(OPCs) isolated from WT and DISC1-Δ3 mice

Project description:Disrupted-in-schizophrenia-1 (DISC1), as one of the schizophrenia susceptibility genes highly expressed in oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), impacts oligodendroglial differentiation and myelination. Several DISC1 splicing variants, including DISC1-Δ3 (a DISC1 transcript with deleted exon 3 in a single allele), are abnormally upregulated in human schizophrenia patients, however, how they trigger the onset of the disease has not been explored yet. Here, we generate a mouse line that mimics human DISC1-Δ3 in oligodendrocyte lineage cells, and demonstrate that hypertrophic OPCs rather than myelin, are responsible for the neuronal deficits and schizophrenia-like symptoms. RNAseq was performed to analyze the transcriptome change in DISC1-Δ3 OPC, revealing that DISC1-Δ3 elevates the Wnt pathway activity in OPCs, which promotes Wif1 expression, thereby leading to disrupted synapse formation in neighboring neurons. Interfering or knockout of Wif1 in DISC1-Δ3 OPCs could rescue neuronal synaptic and functional deficits in our mouse model. Our findings shed light on the myelination-independent role of OPCs on the onset of schizophrenia, and may pave the way for new rational lines of inquiry in developing therapeutic strategies for schizophrenia.

Splicing analyses of mESCs, mNPCs, and mMNs

Project description:PTBP1 and PTBP2 control alternative splicing programs during neuronal development, but the cellular functions of most PTBP1/2-regulated isoforms remain unknown. We show that PTBP1 guides developmental gene expression by regulating the transcription factor Pbx1. We identify exons that are differentially spliced when mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) differentiate into neuronal progenitor cells (NPCs) and neurons, and transition from PTBP1 to PTBP2 expression. We define those exons controlled by PTBP1 in ESCs and NPCs by RNA-seq analysis after PTBP1 depletion and PTBP1 crosslinking-immunoprecipitation. We find that PTBP1 represses Pbx1 exon 7 and the expression of its neuronal isoform Pbx1a in ESC. Using CRISPR-Cas9 to delete regulatory elements for exon 7, we induce Pbx1a expression in ESCs, finding that this activates transcription of specific neuronal genes including known Pbx1 targets. Thus PTBP1 controls the activity of Pbx1 and suppresses its neuronal transcriptional program prior to differentiation. HB9-GFP mESCs were differentiated into mNPCs and mMNs. Poly-A RNA was isolated from isolated populations of mESCs, mNPCs, and mMNs for RNA-sequencing and splicing analyses.

The mNPCs were treated with 10 nM control, Ptbp1, Ptbp2, or Ptbp1 and Ptbp2 siRNAs for 48 hours. The knockdowns were performed using 2 independent sets of siRNAs. Poly-A RNA was isolated for RNA-sequencing and splicing analyses.
