Project description:Disruption of the human SHANK3 gene can cause several neuropsychiatric disease entities including Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS), autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and intellectual disability (ID). Although a wide array of neurobiological studies strongly supports a major role for SHANK3 in organizing the postsynaptic protein scaffold, the molecular processes at synapses of individuals harboring SHANK3 mutations are still far from being understood. In this study, we biochemically isolated the postsynaptic density (PSD) fraction from striatum and hippocampus of Shank3Δ11-/- mutant mice and performed ion-mobility enhanced data-independent label-free LC-MS/MS to obtain the corresponding PSD proteomes. This unbiased approach to identify molecular disturbances at PSDs devoid of major Shank3 isoforms revealed largely distinct molecular alterations in striatum and hippocampus. Being the first comprehensive analysis of brain region specific PSD proteomes from a Shank3 mutant line, our study provides crucial information on molecular alterations that could foster translational treatment studies for SHANK3 mutation-associated synaptopathies and possibly also ASD in general.

Project description:Shank3 is a postsynaptic protein that complexes with group 1 metabotropic, AMPA-, and NMDA-type glutamate receptors. Mutations of Shank3 are causal for Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) and associated autism phenotypes. Individuals with PMS often exhibit sensitivity to novelty or stress that can result in behavioral deterioration. Here we use a Shank3 mouse model with face-validity to PMS [Shank(3∆C/+)] and perform a transcriptomic analysis of principal neurons from neocortex of mice subjected to brief swim stress. Analysis reveals overrepresented pathways related to synapses accompanied by elevated expression of the immediate early gene Homer1a. In normal brain Homer1a is dynamically expressed in association with motivated behavior and mediates an essential step in sleep-related homeostatic down-scaling of synaptic proteins. This is consistent with observations that synaptic Shank3 expression requires Homer cross-linking, which is interrupted by Homer1a. Accentuated Homer 1a expression in Shank3(∆C/+) results in marked reductions of Shank3 expression, changes in synapse composition and NMDA-dependent synaptic plasticity, and disruption of social motivation. Deletion of Homer1a partially mitigates stress-induced phenotypes in Shank3(∆C/+) mice. Homer 1a is required for developmental plasticity, learning and memory, yet its enhanced expression in Shank3(∆C/+) may underlie a vulnerability of PMS patients that highlights the challenge of clinical management.

Project description:Pax6 is a highly conserved transcription factor among vertebrates and is important in various aspects of the central nervous system (CNS) development. However, the gene regulatory circuitry of Pax6 underlying these functions remains elusive. We find that, following expression in neural progenitor cells, Pax6 targets many promoters embedded in an active chromatin environment. Intriguingly, many of these sites are also bound by another progenitor factor, Sox2, which cooperates with Pax6 in gene regulation. A combinatorial analysis of Pax6 binding dataset with transcriptome changes in Pax6-deficient neural progenitors reveals a dual role for Pax6, in which it activates the neuronal (ectodermal) genes while concurrently represses the mesodermal and endodermal genes thereby ensuring the unidirectionality of lineage commitment towards glutamatergic neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, Pax6 is critical for inducing activity of transcription factors that elicit neurogenesis and repress others that promote non-neuronal lineages. In addition to many established downstream effectors, Pax6 directly binds and activates a number of genes that are specifically expressed in neural progenitors but have not been previously implicated in neurogenesis. The in utero knockdown of one such gene, Ift74, during brain development impairs polarity and migration of new-born neurons. These findings demonstrate new aspects of the gene regulatory circuitry of Pax6, revealing how it functions to control neuronal development at multiple levels to ensure unidirectionality and proper execution of the neurogenic program.

Project description:The mechanisms by which the early spatiotemporal expression patterns of transcription factors such as Pax6 regulate the region-specific proliferation rates of neural progenitors are poorly understood. Pax6 is expressed in a gradient across the developing cortex and is essential for normal corticogenesis. We found that constitutive or conditional loss of Pax6 increases cortical progenitor proliferation by amounts that vary regionally with normal Pax6 levels. We compared the gene expression profiles of equivalent Pax6-expressing progenitors isolated from Pax6+/+ and Pax6-/- cortices and identified many negatively-regulated cell cycle genes including those encoding Cyclins and Cdks. Biochemical assays indicated that Pax6 directly represses Cdk6 expression. Cyclin/Cdk repression inhibits retinoblastoma protein (pRb) phosphorylation, thereby limiting the transcription of genes directly promoting mitosis, and we showed that Pax6 inhibits pRb phosphorylation and represses several genes involved in DNA replication. Our results indicate that Pax6M-bM-^@M-^Ys modulation of the cell cycles of cortical progenitors is regional and direct. Two condition experiment, Pax6sey/sey vs Pax6+/+ cortical progenitor cells from lateral cortex. 3 biological replicates. Each replicate contains RNA from cells pooled from 4 individual E12.5 embryos
