Dysregulation of NRSF/REST via EHMT1 is associated with psychiatric disorders and Kleefstra syndrome, Z scores
Description:
EHMT1 is an epigenetic repressor that is causal for Kleefstra Syndrome (KS), a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) leading to intelectual disability, and is associated with schizophrenia. Here, the researchers aim to show we show that reduced EHMT1 activity decreases NRSF/REST protein leading to abnormal neuronal gene expression and progression of neurodevelopment in human iPSC. Five induced pluripotent stem cell samples (from fibroblasts of adult, male, skin) were used. The stem cells were gifted from: Lieber Institute for Brain Development, Johns Hopkins Medical Campus. Total RNA extracted from a control hiPSC line and control cells treated for 72h with various concentrations of UNC0638 i.e 50, 100, 200 or 250nM as a model for Kleefstra syndrome. Polyadenylated adaptors were ligated to the 3′-end, 5′-adaptors were then ligated, and the resulting RNAs were reverse transcribed to generate cDNA that can be amplified by PCR. The amplified product was run on low range ultra agarose in TBE buffer and a size-selection was performed to ensure that the cDNA used for sequencing primarily contains miRNAs rather than other RNA contaminants. Expression values were calculated by the method detailed in 'HBA-DEALS: accurate and simultaneous identification of differential expression and splicing using hierarchical Bayesian analysis' (Genome Biol. 2020, PMID: 32660516), and Z scores calculated. Genes were annotated as Ensembl gene ids. SRA Study id ERP130338.
Postmortem tissue samples of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) from 153 deceased individuals (Mage = 35.4; 62% male; 77% European ancestry). Study groups included 72 brain samples from individuals who died of acute opioid intoxication, 53 psychiatric controls, and 28 normal controls. Whole transcriptome RNA-sequencing was used to generate exon counts, and differential expression was tested using limma-voom. Analyses were adjusted for relevant sociodemographic characteristics, technical covariates, and cryptic relatedness using quality surrogate variables. Weighted correlation network analysis and gene set enrichment analyses also were conducted.

Chronic cocaine - Cocaine-paired (conditioned place preference) vs. Control (saline or cocaine-non-paired) DNA microarray All genes on microarray presented After the pre-conditioning phase where animals were allowed access to either compartment for 15 minutes for 4 consecutive days, the conditioning phase for the cocaine-paired groups and cocaine non-paired groups began, consisting of eight subsequent daily sessions. For both groups, cocaine (10 mg / kg) or saline injections were administered on alternate days. For the cocaine-paired groups, rats were immediately placed in one of the two compartments for 30 min with the door in place restricting a z transformation followed by z test and anova followed by Student-Newman-Keuls' post hoc test. Gene expression profile was assessed 24 h after the last conditioning session that corresponded to 48 h after last cocaine exposure, when drug has been eliminated from the body and transient transcriptional changes are likely to be minimal. Therefore, changes in gene expression at this time-point are likely to reflect longer lasting adaptations that may account for maintenance of cocaine-induced memories. The complete lists of normalized gene expression values for the hippocampus of saline-treated, cocaine non-paired and cocaine-paired groups are presented. Analyses revealed that 214 transcripts were differentially regulated in the hippocampus of cocaine-paired rats vs. non-paired and saline-treated controls. Cocaine-induced conditioned place preference caused significant increases in the expression of 151 genes and caused decreases in the expression of 63 genes. (NIF Table ID 130.1 [83])

Therefore, changes in gene expression at this time-point are likely to reflect longer lasting adaptations that may account for maintenance of cocaine-induced memories. The complete lists of normalized gene expression values for the frontal cortex of saline-treated, cocaine non-paired and cocaine-paired groups are presented. Differences in the expression of 39 transcripts in the frontal cortex were related to the conditioned place preference paradigm. These include increases in the level of 22 genes and decreases in 17 genes. (NIF Table ID 130.3 [83.5])
