Project description:The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22qDS) is caused by a microdeletion in one of the chromosomes 22, comprising around 40 genes and including DGCR8, an essential gene for miRNA biogenesis and transposable elements control. Most of the clinical manifestations of 22qDS have their origin during embryonic development, but the contribution of human DGCR8 hemizygosity to the disease is unknown. To clarify the overall effect of DGCR8 in the context of 22qDS, we have generated two human embryonic models of DGCR8 +/-.In this dataset we use small RNA-seq to study the effect of DGCR8 heterozygosity on steady state miRNA levels in human embryonic stem cells.

Project description:DiGeorge syndrome critical region 8 (DGCR8) is a critical component of the canonical microprocessor complex for microRNA biogenesis. However, the non-canonical functions of DGCR8 have not been studied. Here, we demonstrate that DGCR8 plays an important role in maintaining heterochromatin organization and attenuating aging. An N-terminal-truncated version of DGCR8 (DR8dex2) accelerated senescence in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) independent of its miRNA-processing activity, which is mediated by its C-terminal domains. Further studies revealed that DGCR8 maintained heterochromatin organization by interacting with the nuclear envelope protein Lamin B1, and heterochromatin-associated proteins, KAP1 and HP1 Overexpression of any of these proteins, including DGCR8, reversed premature senescent phenotypes in DR8dex2 hMSCs. Finally, DGCR8 was downregulated in pathologically and naturally aged hMSCs, whereas DGCR8 overexpression alleviated hMSC aging and osteoarthritis in mice. Taken together, these analyses uncovered a novel, miRNA processing-independent role for DGCR8 in maintaining heterochromatin organization and attenuating senescence. DGCR8 may therefore represent a new therapeutic target for alleviating human aging-related disorders.

Project description:Renal tract defects and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) deficits represent the phenotypic core of the 19q12 deletion syndrome caused by the loss of one copy of the TSHZ3 gene. While a proportion of Tshz3 heterozygous (Tshz3+/lacZ) mice display ureteral defects, no kidney defects have been reported in these mice. The purpose of this study was to characterize the expression of Tshz3 in adult kidney as well as the renal physiological consequences of embryonic haploinsufficiency of Tshz3 by analyzing the morphology and function of Tshz3 heterozygous adult kidney. Here, we described Tshz3 expression in the smooth muscle and stromal cells lining the renal pelvis, the papilla and glomerular endothelial cells (GEnCs) of the adult kidney. Histological analysis showed that Tshz3+/lacZ adult kidney had an average of 29% fewer glomeruli than wild type kidney. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of Tshz3+/lacZ glomeruli revealed ultrastructural defects. Compared to wild type, Tshz3+/lacZ mice showed no difference in their urine parameters but lower blood urea, phosphates, magnesium and potassium at 2 months of age. At the molecular level, transcriptome analysis identified differentially expressed genes related to inflammatory processes in Tshz3+/lacZ compare to wild type (WT; control) adult kidneys. Lastly, analysis of the urinary peptidome revealed 33 peptides associated with Tshz3+/lacZ adult mice. These results provide the first evidence that in the mouse Tshz3 haploinsufficiency leads to cellular, molecular and functional abnormalities in the adult mouse kidney.

Project description:[original title] Prkar1a haploinsufficiency in mice leads to an overall increase in tumors caused by other genetic defects or chemical induction We investigated the Prkar1a+/- mice when bred within the Rb1+/- or Trp53+/- genetic backgrounds, or treated with a 2-step skin carcinogenesis protocol. Prkar1a+/-Trp53+/- mice developed more bone sarcomas than Trp53+/- mice (p<0.05) and Prkar1a+/-Rb1+/- mice grew more and larger pituitary and thyroid tumors than Rb1+/- mice. All mice with double heterozygosity had significantly reduced life-spans compared with their single-heterozygous counterparts. Finally, Prkar1a+/- mice developed more papillomas than wild-type animals when treated with a 2-step skin carcinogenesis protocol. A whole-genome transcriptome profiling of tumors produced by all three models identified Wnt signaling as the main pathway activated by abnormal cAMP signaling in these tissues, along with (expected) cell cycle gene abnormalities, all confirmed by qRT-PCR array and immunohistochemical analyses.

Project description:Ars2 is a component of the nuclear cap-binding complex that is required for cellular proliferation and contributes to microRNA biogenesis. Arrays were performed to determine the repertoire of genes that change following knock-down of Ars2. Knock-down of DGCR8 was also performed to determine which changes in Ars2 knock-down cells resulted from defects in microRNA expression. 9 samples were analyzed including: three biological replicates of control siRNA-transfected HeLa cells, HeLa cells transfected with three independent siRNAs targeting Ars2, or HeLa cells transfected with three independent siRNAs targeting DGCR8.

Project description:DNMT3A encodes an enzyme that carries out de novo DNA methylation, which is essential for the acquisition of cellular identity and specialized functions during cellular differentiation. It is the most common driver gene of age-related clonal hematopoiesis. As such, mature immune cells harboring DNMT3A mutations can be readily detected in elderly individuals. Most acquired DNMT3A mutations are heterozygous and predicted to cause loss-of-function, indicating that haploinsufficiency is the predominant pathogenic mechanism. Yet, whether and how DNMT3A haploinsufficiency affects the function of mature immune cells is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that DNMT3A haploinsufficiency impairs the gain of DNA methylation at decommissioned enhancers, while simultaneously and unexpectedly impairs DNA demethylation at thousands of newly activated enhancers in mature human myeloid cells. The DNA methylation defects alter the activity of affected enhancers, leading to abnormal gene expression and impaired immune response. These findings provide insights into the mechanism of immune dysfunction associated with acquired DNMT3A mutations and clonal hematopoiesis.
