Project description:Bipolar disorder (BD) and obesity are highly comorbid. We previously performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for BD risk accounting for the effect of body mass index (BMI) which identified a genome-wide significant single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the gene encoding the transcription factor 7 like 2 (TCF7L2). However, the molecular function of TCF7L2 in the central nervous system (CNS) and its possible role in BD and BMI interaction remained unclear. In the present study, we demonstrated by studying human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived astrocytes, cells which highly express TCF7L2 in the CNS, that the BD-BMI GWAS risk SNP is associated with glucocorticoid-dependent repression of the expression of a previously uncharacterized TCF7L2 transcript variant. That transcript is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA-TCF7L2) that is highly expressed in the CNS but not in peripheral tissues such as the liver and pancreas which are involved in metabolism. In astrocytes, knock-down of the lncRNA-TCF7L2 resulted in decreased expression of the parent gene, TCF7L2, as well as alterations in the expression of a series of genes involved in insulin signaling and diabetes. We also studied the function of TCF7L2 in hiPSC-derived astrocytes by integrating RNA sequencing data after TCF7L2 knock-down with TCF7L2 chromatin-immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) data. Those studies showed that TCF7L2 directly regulated a series of BD-risk genes. In summary, these results support the existence of a CNS-based mechanism underlying BD-BMI genetic risk, a mechanism based on a glucocorticoid-dependent expression quantitative trait locus that regulates the expression of a novel TCF7L2 non-coding transcript.

Project description:TCF7L2 is one of the strongest type 2 diabetes (T2DM) candidate genes to emerge from GWAS studies, but the mechanisms by which it regulates the pathways which are important in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes are unknown. Previous in vitro and in vivo studies have focused on the link between TCF7L2 and insulin secretion as an explanation for the association between TCF7L2 and T2DM. However, TCF7L2 and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway are important for metabolic zonation in the liver. This raises the interesting possibility that TCF7L2 may influence glucose homeostasis by regulating hepatic glucose production (HGP). To examine this question, we utilized the H4IIE cell as a model of HGP. Inhibition of HGP in H4IIE cells from lactate and pyruvate was highly sensitive to physiological concentrations of insulin and metformin. Silencing of TCF7L2 protein expression induced a 5-fold increase in basal HGP (P<0.0001), and this was accompanied by marked increase in the expression of several key gluconeogenic genes. FBPase, PEPCK and G6Pase mRNA were up-regulated 2.5-fold (P<0.0001), 1.4-fold (P<0.01) and 2.3-fold (P<0.0001), respectively, compared to scramble siRNA. Compared to their respective baseline values, insulin and metformin suppressed HGP equally in the scramble and TCF7L2 siRNA cells, but HGP remained elevated in TCF7L2 silenced cells due to the increased baseline HGP. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq), we investigated the direct transcriptional targets of TCF7L2 in hepatocytes. A total of 2119 ChIP peaks were detected, of which 36% were located inside gene boundaries and, overall, a total of 65% of all binding events were within 50 Kb of a gene. De novo motif analysis revealed remarkable conservation of the long and short TCF7L2 consensus binding sites in the rat hepatocytes. Pathway analysis showed that the top two disease categories over-represented in our dataset were “non-insulin dependent diabetes” (155 genes; P = 1.63 x 10-10) and “diabetes mellitus” (245 genes; P = 7.4 x 10-12). Inspection of genes in these categories revealed that TCF7L2 directly binds to multiple genes important in the regulation of glucose metabolism in the liver, including PEPCK, FBP1, IRS1, IRS2, AKT2 ADIPOR1, PDK4 and CPT1A. Our findings suggest a novel mechanism for the regulation of HGP by TCF7L2, and provide a possible explanation for the association of TCF7L2 polymorphisms with the incidence of T2DM. two samples: TCF7L2 ChIP-Seq and Input DNA

Project description:The thalamus of the brain acts as a relay station; taking inputs from several parts of the brain and then sending the information to the cortex and vice versa. It is also the structure know to affected in several brain developmental disorders such as schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, bipolar disorders etc. Upon in situ hybridisation one can visualise the expression of the transcription factor Tcf7l2 to be highest in prosomeric regions of the thalamus throughout development. With this information in mind we set out to find out, if the expression of Tcf7l2 is essential for the identity of the thalamic structure. Therefore, Tcf7l2 was knocked (KO) out using Cre+mice at embryonic stage E18.5 and postnatal adult stage P60. The E18.5 Tcf7l2 KO is a total knockout and the P60 Tcf7l2 KO is neuron-specific knockout. Total RNA was extracted and sent for sequencing using Illumina 2500. The data obtained was aligned by HISAT2 alignment tool, and the excon read counts were gathered using htseq counts, and expression normalization and differential gene expression was analysed using DESeq2.

Project description:The gene encoding for transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) is the strongest type 2 diabetes (T2DM) candidate gene discovered to date. While its association with T2DM has been replicated in most populations worldwide, the molecular and physiological mechanisms that underlie this association remain largely unknown. As a key transcriptional effector of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, we hypothesized that TCF7L2 plays an important role in the development and function of adipocytes. Using a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches, we show that TCF7L2 is critical for proper adipogenesis and that inactivating TCF7L2 mediated transcription by removing its DNA binding domain in mature adipocytes leads to whole-body glucose intolerance and hepatic insulin resistance in mice. This effect is secondary to an increase in subcutaneous adipose tissue mass caused by adipocyte hypertrophy that worsens with age and with high-fat feeding. Finally, in humans with adipocyte insulin resistance we demonstrate that TCF7L2 expression is downregulated, highlighting the translational importance of our findings. In summary our data indicate that TCF7L2 is an important mediator of adipocyte biology and has key roles in adipose tissue development and function.
