Project description: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. mRNA profiles of wild-type and DISC1-targeted human iPSC-derived neural progenitor cells (day 17) and neurons (day 50) by paired-end sequencing, with 3-6 biological replicates, using Illumina HiSeq

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) ⤠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.

Project description:Disrupted in schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) has been implicated in contributing to a number of psychiatric diseases and neurodevelopmental phenotypes such as the proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells. While there has been significant effort directed towards understanding the function of DISC1 through the determination of its protein-protein interactions within an in-vitro setting, endogenous interactions involving DISC1 within a cell-type specific setting relevant to neural development remain unclear.
