Increased copy number for methylated maternal 15q duplications leads to changes in gene and protein expression in human cortical samples / Haley SCOLES in Molecular Autism, (December 2011)
[article]
Titre : Increased copy number for methylated maternal 15q duplications leads to changes in gene and protein expression in human cortical samples Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Haley SCOLES, Auteur ; Nora URRACA, Auteur ; Samuel CHADWICK, Auteur ; Lawrence REITER, Auteur ; Janine M. LASALLE, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : 41 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND:Duplications of chromosome 15q11-q13 account for ~3% of autism cases. Chromosome 15q11-q13 contains imprinted genes necessary for normal mammalian neurodevelopment controlled by a differentially methylated imprinting center (PWS-IC). Maternal duplications of 15q11-q13 (dup15q) occur as both interstitial duplications (int dup(15)) and isodicentric chromosome 15 (idic15). Over-expression of the maternally expressed gene UBE3A is predicted to be the primary cause of the autistic features associated with dup15q. Previous analysis of two post-mortem dup15q frontal cortical samples showed heterogeneity between the two cases, with one showing levels of GABAA receptor genes, UBE3A, and SNRPN in a manner not predicted by copy number or parental imprint.METHODS:Postmortem human brain tissue (BA19, extrastriate visual cortex) was obtained from 8 dup15q, 10 idiopathic autism and 21 typical control samples. Quantitative PCR was used to confirm duplication status. Quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR and Western blot analyses were performed to measure 15q11-q13 transcript and protein levels, respectively. Methylation-sensitive high resolution melt curve analysis was performed on brain genomic DNA to identify the maternal:paternal ratio of methylation at PWS-IC.RESULTS:Dup15q brain samples showed a higher level of PWS-IC methylation than control or autism samples, indicating that the duplication of 15q was maternal in origin. UBE3A transcript and protein levels were significantly higher in dup15q than control and autism, as expected, although levels were variable and lower than expected based on copy number in some samples. In contrast, this increase in copy number did not result in consistently increased GABRB3 transcript or protein levels for dup15q samples. Furthermore, SNRPN was expected to be unchanged in expression in dup15q because it is expressed from the single unmethylated paternal allele, yet SNRPN levels were significantly reduced in dup15q samples compared to controls. PWS-IC methylation positively correlated with UBE3A and GABRB3, but negatively correlated with SNRPN levels. Idiopathic autism samples exhibited significantly lower GABRB3 and significantly more variable SNRPN levels compared to controls.CONCLUSIONS:While these results show that increased UBE3A/UBE3A is a consistent feature of dup15q syndrome, they also suggest that gene expression within 15q11-q13 is not based entirely on copy number but can be influenced by epigenetic mechanisms in brain.
