Project description:The epigenome of human brain cells encompasses key information in understanding brain function in both healthy and diseased states. To further explore this, we used ATAC-seq to profile chromatin structure in four distinct populations of cells (glutamatergic neurons, GABAergic neurons, oligodendrocytes, and microglia/astrocytes), from three different regions of the brain. Chromatin accessibility was found to vary vastly by cell type and, more moderately, by brain region, with glutamatergic neurons showing the greatest regional variability. Transcription factor footprinting pointed to cell-specific transcriptional regulators and inferred cell-specific regulation of protein coding genes, long intergenic noncoding RNAs, and microRNAs. In vivo transgenic mouse experiments validated the cell type specificity of a number of human-derived regulatory sequences. Open chromatin regions in glutamatergic neurons were enriched for neuropsychiatric risk variants, particularly those associated with schizophrenia. Combining differential chromatin accessibility analysis using ATAC-seq data from bulk tissue increased our statistical power to confirm glutamatergic neurons as the cell type most affected in schizophrenia. Jointly, these findings illustrate the utility of studying the cell type specific epigenome in complex tissues such as the human brain and implicate an association among chromatin accessibility in glutamatergic neurons and genetic risk for schizophrenia.

Project description:Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a psychiatric disorder with a strong genetic determinant. A major hypothesis to explain disease aetiology comprises synaptic dysfunction associated with excitatory-inhibitory imbalance of synaptic transmission, ultimately contributing to impaired network oscillation and cognitive deficits associated with the disease. Here, we studied the morphological and functional properties of a highly defined co-culture of GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from patients with idiopathic SCZ. Our results indicate upregulation of synaptic genes and increased excitatory synapse formation on GABAergic neurons in co-cultures. In parallel, we observed decreased lengths of axon initial segments, concordant with data from postmortem brains from patients with SCZ. Patch-clamp analyses revealed differential processing of excitatory input with markedly increased spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSC) recorded from GABAergic SCZ neurons and decreased spontaneous EPSC from glutamatergic SCZ neurons. Likewise, we observed decreased amplitudes of calcium signals selectively in GABAergic neurons while frequency was increased in both neuronal populations. Finally, MEA recordings from neuronal networks indicate increased synchronization of network activity. In conclusion, our results suggest selective deregulation of neuronal activity and synaptic transmission in SCZ samples, providing evidence for differential signal processing in GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons as a potential base for aberrant network synchronization.

Project description:Schizophrenia (SCZD) is a debilitating neurological disorder with a world-wide prevalence of 1%; there is a strong genetic component, with an estimated heritability of 80–85%1. Although post-mortem studies have revealed reduced brain volume, cell size, spine density and abnormal neural distribution in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of SCZD brain tissue2 and neuropharmacological studies have implicated dopaminergic, glutamatergic and GABAergic activity in SCZD3, the cell types affected in SCZD and the molecular mechanisms underlying the disease state remain unclear. To elucidate the cellular and molecular defects of SCZD, we directly reprogrammed fibroblasts from SCZD patients into human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and subsequently differentiated these disorder-specific hiPSCs into neurons (Supplementary Fig. 1). SCZD hiPSC neurons showed diminished neuronal connectivity in conjunction with decreased neurite number, PSD95-protein levels and glutamate receptor expression. Gene expression profiles of SCZD hiPSC neurons identified altered expression of many components of the cyclic AMP and WNT signalling pathways. Key cellular and molecular elements of the SCZD phenotype were ameliorated following treatment of SCZD hiPSC neurons with the antipsychotic loxapine. To date, hiPSC neuronal pathology has only been demonstrated in diseases characterized by both the loss of function of a single gene product and rapid disease progression in early childhood. We now report hiPSC neuronal phenotypes and gene expression changes associated with SCZD, a complex genetic psychiatric disorder. 4 samples/no replicates/genotyped for copy number variation, using the same refrence sample on nimblegen's 080131_HG18_WG_CGH_v2DCR_HX1 design, a dual color microarry, 2.1 million probes platform.

Project description:Using CRISPR/Cas9 to generate an hiPSC line with SETD1A haploinsufficiency and differentiating it into glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons, we found that SETD1A haploinsufficiency resulted in altered neuronal network activity, which was predominantly defined by increased network burst frequency, whereas unchanged global firing activity. In individual neurons, this network phenotype was reflected functionally by increased synchronized synaptic inputs and structurally by increased somatodendritic complexity in both glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons. The transcriptome profile in SETD1A haploinsufficient neurons demonstrated perturbations in gene sets associated with schizophrenia, synaptic transmission, and glutamatergic synaptic function. In addition, transcriptomic data suggested cAMP/PKA pathway might be disturbed in SETD1A haploinsufficient networks, which was further verified by pharmacological experiments.

Project description:Gray matter volume in the cerebral cortex has been consistently found to be decreased in patients with schizophrenia. The superior temporal gyrus (STG) is one of the cortical regions that exhibit the most pronounced volumetric reduction. This reduction is generally thought to reflect, at least in part, decreased number of synapses; the majority of these synapses are believed to be furnished by glutamatergic axon terminals onto the dendritic spines on pyramidal neurons. Pyramidal neurons in the cerebral cortex exhibit layer-specific connectional properties, providing neural circuit structures that support distinct aspects of higher cortical functions. For instance, dendritic spines on pyramidal neurons in layer 3 of the cerebral cortex are targeted by both local and long-range glutamatergic projections in a highly reciprocal fashion. Synchronized activities of pyramidal neuronal networks, especially in the gamma frequency band (i.e. 30-100 Hz), are critical for the integrity of higher cortical functions. Disturbances of these networks may contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia by compromising gamma oscillation. This concept is supported by the following postmortem and clinical observations. First, the density of dendritic spines on pyramidal neurons in layer 3 of the cerebral cortex, including the STG, have been shown to be significantly decreased by 23-66% in subjects with schizophrenia. Second, consistent with these findings, the average somal area of these pyramidal cells is significantly smaller. Third, we have recently found that, in the prefrontal cortex, the density of glutamatergic axonal boutons, of which dendritic spines are their major targets, was significantly decreased by as much as 79% in layer 3 (but not layer 5) in subjects with schizophrenia. Finally, an increasing number of clinical studies have consistently demonstrated that gamma oscillatory synchrony is profoundly impaired in patients with schizophrenia. Furthermore, gamma impairment has been linked to the symptoms and cognitive deficits of the illness and the severity of these symptoms and deficits have in turn been associated with the magnitude of cortical gray matter reduction. Taken together, understanding the molecular underpinnings of pyramidal cell dysfunction will shed important light onto the pathophysiology of cortical dysfunction of schizophrenia. In order to gain insight into the molecular determinants of pyramidal cell dysfunction in schizophrenia, we combined LCM with Affymetrix microarray and high-throughput TaqManM-BM-.-based MegaPlex qRT-PCR approaches, respectively, to elucidate the alterations in messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles of these neurons in layer 3 of the STG. We found that transforming growth factor beta (TGFM-NM-2) and BMP (bone morphogenetic proteins) signaling pathways and many genes that regulate extracellular matrix (ECM), apoptosis and cytoskeleton were dysregulated in schizophrenia. In addition, we identified 10 miRNAs that were differentially expressed in this illness; interestingly, the predicted targets of these miRNAs included the dysregulated pathways and gene networks identified by microarray analysis. Together these findings provide a neurobiological framework within which we can begin to formulate and test specific hypotheses about the molecular mechanisms that underlie pyramidal cell dysfunction in schizophrenia. Gene epxression microarray from RNA isolated from pyramidal cells in layer III of the STG from 9 normal controls and 9 subjects with schizophrenia. There was no significant difference between diagnosis groups for age, sex, and post mortem interval (PMI).
