Decreased nuclear Pten in neural stem cells contributes to deficits in neuronal maturation / Shin Chung KANG in Molecular Autism, 11 (2020)
[article]
Titre : Decreased nuclear Pten in neural stem cells contributes to deficits in neuronal maturation Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Shin Chung KANG, Auteur ; Ritika JAINI, Auteur ; Masahiro HITOMI, Auteur ; Hyunpil LEE, Auteur ; Nick SARN, Auteur ; Stetson THACKER, Auteur ; Charis ENG, Auteur Article en page(s) : 43 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder Creb activation Neural development Neural stem cells Neuronal maturation PTEN mutation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: PTEN, a syndromic autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk gene, is mutated in approximately 10% of macrocephalic ASD cases. Despite the described genetic association between PTEN and ASD and ensuing studies, we continue to have a limited understanding of how PTEN disruption drives ASD pathogenesis and maintenance. METHODS: We derived neural stem cells (NSCs) from the dentate gyrus (DG) of Pten(m3m4) mice, a model that recapitulates PTEN-ASD phenotypes. We subsequently characterized the expression of stemness factors, proliferation, and differentiation of neurons and glia in Pten(m3m4) NSCs using immunofluorescent and immunoblotting approaches. We also measured Creb phosphorylation by Western blot analysis and expression of Creb-regulated genes with qRT-PCR. RESULTS: The m3m4 mutation decreases Pten localization to the nucleus and its global expression over time. Pten(m3m4) NSCs exhibit persistent stemness characteristics associated with increased proliferation and a resistance to neuronal maturation during differentiation. Given the increased proliferation of Pten(m3m4) NSCs, a significant increase in the population of immature neurons relative to mature neurons occurs, an approximately tenfold decrease in the ratio between the homozygous mutant and wildtype. There is an opposite pattern of differentiation in some Pten(m3m4) glia, specifically an increase in astrocytes. These aberrant differentiation patterns associate with changes in Creb activation in Pten(m3m4/m3m4) NSCs. We specifically observed loss of Creb phosphorylation at S133 in Pten(m3m4/m3m4) NSCs and a subsequent decrease in expression of Creb-regulated genes important to neuronal function (i.e., Bdnf). Interestingly, Bdnf treatment is able to partially rescue the stunted neuronal maturation phenotype in Pten(m3m4/m3m4) NSCs. CONCLUSIONS: Constitutional disruption of Pten nuclear localization with subsequent global decrease in Pten expression generates abnormal patterns of differentiation, a stunting of neuronal maturation. The propensity of Pten disruption to restrain neurons to a more progenitor-like state may be an important feature contributing to PTEN-ASD pathogenesis.
