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.
RNA sequencing of a limited number of archived patients' specimens with extended opioid exposure or non-opioid exposure was performed. Immune infiltration and changes in the microenvironment were evaluated using CIBERSORT.

The dataset used in this study (Bulk RNA-Seq) was previously published and can be found at NCBI GEO (GSE182321), this analysis was conducted by GEO2R to compare control and OUD samples, only top differentially expressed genes are reported. To understand mechanisms and identify potential targets for intervention in the current crisis of opioid use disorder (OUD), postmortem brains represent an under-utilized resource. To refine previously reported gene signatures of neurobiological alterations in OUD from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Brodmann Area 9, BA9), we explored the role of microRNAs (miRNA) as powerful epigenetic regulators of gene function.

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.

This study is a re-analysis of publicly available data and a meta-analysis investigating differential gene expression associated with opioid use disorder from Corradin et al. 2022 (PMID: 35301427); Mendez et al. 2021 (PMID: 34385598); Seney et al. 2021 (PMID: 34380600); and Sosnowski et al. 2022 (PMID:36845993 ). All four of these studies used human postmortem dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) brain tissue from donors identified as dying from OOD through toxicology assays administered by forensic scientists and phenotypic evidence of opioid addiction. Each of these independent studies had modest sample sizes (N = 40-153) and compared bulk RNA-seq data from individuals who died from OOD to individuals who died from non–drug use causes.

We performed single-nuclei multiome profiling on postmortem caudate nucleus (CN) tissue from six individuals with cocaine use disorder (CocUD) and eight controls, all of African American ancestry. CocUD cases and controls were balanced according to age and sex. We performed single-nuclei ATAC-seq and RNA-seq using the 10x Genomics Multiome platform. Weighted nearest neighbor analysis resulted in an integrated UMAP depicting 13 clearly delineated cell types, including astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPC), endothelial cells and lymphocytes, as well as different GABAergic neurons, such as D1 and D2 medium spiny neurons (MSNs) and a small population of cholinergic neurons.
