CRISPR Screening of Porcine Sgrna Library Identifies Host Factors
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-18936-1 OPEN CRISPR screening of porcine sgRNA library identifies host factors associated with Japanese encephalitis virus replication Changzhi Zhao1,5, Hailong Liu1,5, Tianhe Xiao1,5, Zichang Wang1, Xiongwei Nie1, Xinyun Li1,2, Ping Qian2,3, Liuxing Qin3, Xiaosong Han1, Jinfu Zhang1, Jinxue Ruan1, Mengjin Zhu1,2, Yi-Liang Miao 1,2, Bo Zuo1,2, ✉ ✉ Kui Yang4, Shengsong Xie 1,2 & Shuhong Zhao 1,2 1234567890():,; Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic flavivirus that causes ence- phalitis and reproductive disorders in mammalian species. However, the host factors critical for its entry, replication, and assembly are poorly understood. Here, we design a porcine genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 knockout (PigGeCKO) library containing 85,674 single guide RNAs targeting 17,743 protein-coding genes, 11,053 long ncRNAs, and 551 microRNAs. Subsequently, we use the PigGeCKO library to identify key host factors facilitating JEV infection in porcine cells. Several previously unreported genes required for JEV infection are highly enriched post-JEV selection. We conduct follow-up studies to verify the dependency of JEV on these genes, and identify functional contributions for six of the many candidate JEV- related host genes, including EMC3 and CALR. Additionally, we identify that four genes associated with heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) metabolism, specifically those responsible for HSPGs sulfurylation, facilitate JEV entry into porcine cells. Thus, beyond our development of the largest CRISPR-based functional genomic screening platform for pig research to date, this study identifies multiple potentially vulnerable targets for the devel- opment of medical and breeding technologies to treat and prevent diseases caused by JEV. -

Mechanisms Underlying Phenotypic Heterogeneity in Simplex Autism Spectrum Disorders
Mechanisms Underlying Phenotypic Heterogeneity in Simplex Autism Spectrum Disorders Andrew H. Chiang Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 Andrew H. Chiang All Rights Reserved Abstract Mechanisms Underlying Phenotypic Heterogeneity in Simplex Autism Spectrum Disorders Andrew H. Chiang Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of related neurodevelopmental diseases displaying significant genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. Despite recent progress in ASD genetics, the nature of phenotypic heterogeneity across probands is not well understood. Notably, likely gene- disrupting (LGD) de novo mutations affecting the same gene often result in substantially different ASD phenotypes. We find that truncating mutations in a gene can result in a range of relatively mild decreases (15-30%) in gene expression due to nonsense-mediated decay (NMD), and show that more severe autism phenotypes are associated with greater decreases in expression. We also find that each gene with recurrent ASD mutations can be described by a parameter, phenotype dosage sensitivity (PDS), which characteriZes the relationship between changes in a gene’s dosage and changes in a given phenotype. Using simple linear models, we show that changes in gene dosage account for a substantial fraction of phenotypic variability in ASD. We further observe that LGD mutations affecting the same exon frequently lead to strikingly similar phenotypes in unrelated ASD probands. These patterns are observed for two independent proband cohorts and multiple important ASD-associated phenotypes. The observed phenotypic similarities are likely mediated by similar changes in gene dosage and similar perturbations to the relative expression of splicing isoforms. -
Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell–Derived Podocytes Mature Into Vascularized Glomeruli Upon Experimental Transplantation

Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in -

Combinatorial Strategies Using CRISPR/Cas9 for Gene Mutagenesis in Adult Mice
Combinatorial strategies using CRISPR/Cas9 for gene mutagenesis in adult mice Avery C. Hunker A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Larry S. Zweifel, Chair Sheri J. Mizumori G. Stanley McKnight Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Pharmacology 2 © Copyright 2019 Avery C. Hunker 3 University of Washington ABSTRACT Combinatorial strategies using CRISPR/Cas9 for gene mutagenesis in adult mice Avery C. Hunker Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Larry Zweifel Department of Pharmacology A major challenge to understanding how genes modulate complex behaviors is the inability to restrict genetic manipulations to defined cell populations or circuits. To circumvent this, we created a simple strategy for limiting gene knockout to specific cell populations using a viral-mediated, conditional CRISPR/SaCas9 system in combination with intersectional genetic strategies. A small single guide RNA (sgRNA) directs Staphylococcus aureus CRISPR-associated protein (SaCas9) to unique sites on DNA in a Cre-dependent manner resulting in double strand breaks and gene mutagenesis in vivo. To validate this technique we targeted nine different genes of diverse function in distinct cell types in mice and performed an array of analyses to confirm gene mutagenesis and subsequent protein loss, including IHC, cell-type specific DNA sequencing, electrophysiology, Western blots, and behavior. We show that these vectors are as efficient as conventional conditional gene knockout and provide a viable alternative to complex genetic crosses. This strategy provides additional benefits of 4 targeting gene mutagenesis to cell types previously difficult to isolate, and the ability to target genes in specific neural projections for gene inactivation. -

Metabolic Enzyme Expression Highlights a Key Role for MTHFD2 and the Mitochondrial Folate Pathway in Cancer
ARTICLE Received 1 Nov 2013 | Accepted 17 Dec 2013 | Published 23 Jan 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms4128 Metabolic enzyme expression highlights a key role for MTHFD2 and the mitochondrial folate pathway in cancer Roland Nilsson1,2,*, Mohit Jain3,4,5,6,*,w, Nikhil Madhusudhan3,4,5, Nina Gustafsson Sheppard1,2, Laura Strittmatter3,4,5, Caroline Kampf7, Jenny Huang8, Anna Asplund7 & Vamsi K. Mootha3,4,5 Metabolic remodeling is now widely regarded as a hallmark of cancer, but it is not clear whether individual metabolic strategies are frequently exploited by many tumours. Here we compare messenger RNA profiles of 1,454 metabolic enzymes across 1,981 tumours spanning 19 cancer types to identify enzymes that are consistently differentially expressed. Our meta- analysis recovers established targets of some of the most widely used chemotherapeutics, including dihydrofolate reductase, thymidylate synthase and ribonucleotide reductase, while also spotlighting new enzymes, such as the mitochondrial proline biosynthetic enzyme PYCR1. The highest scoring pathway is mitochondrial one-carbon metabolism and is centred on MTHFD2. MTHFD2 RNA and protein are markedly elevated in many cancers and correlated with poor survival in breast cancer. MTHFD2 is expressed in the developing embryo, but is absent in most healthy adult tissues, even those that are proliferating. Our study highlights the importance of mitochondrial compartmentalization of one-carbon metabolism in cancer and raises important therapeutic hypotheses. 1 Unit of Computational Medicine, Department of Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, 17176 Stockholm, Sweden. 2 Center for Molecular Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, 17176 Stockholm, Sweden. 3 Broad Institute, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, USA. 4 Department of Systems Biology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA. -
Chromosome 18 Gene Dosage Map 2.0
Human Genetics (2018) 137:961–970 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00439-018-1960-6 ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION Chromosome 18 gene dosage map 2.0 Jannine D. Cody1,2 · Patricia Heard1 · David Rupert1 · Minire Hasi‑Zogaj1 · Annice Hill1 · Courtney Sebold1 · Daniel E. Hale1,3 Received: 9 August 2018 / Accepted: 14 November 2018 / Published online: 17 November 2018 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract In 2009, we described the first generation of the chromosome 18 gene dosage maps. This tool included the annotation of each gene as well as each phenotype associated region. The goal of these annotated genetic maps is to provide clinicians with a tool to appreciate the potential clinical impact of a chromosome 18 deletion or duplication. These maps are continually updated with the most recent and relevant data regarding chromosome 18. Over the course of the past decade, there have also been advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underpinning genetic disease. Therefore, we have updated the maps to more accurately reflect this knowledge. Our Gene Dosage Map 2.0 has expanded from the gene and phenotype maps to also include a pair of maps specific to hemizygosity and suprazygosity. Moreover, we have revamped our classification from mechanistic definitions (e.g., haplosufficient, haploinsufficient) to clinically oriented classifications (e.g., risk factor, conditional, low penetrance, causal). This creates a map with gradient of classifications that more accurately represents the spectrum between the two poles of pathogenic and benign. While the data included in this manuscript are specific to chro- mosome 18, they may serve as a clinically relevant model that can be applied to the rest of the genome. -
The Clinical and Mutational Spectrum of B3GAT3 Linkeropathy
Colman et al. Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases (2019) 14:138 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13023-019-1110-9 RESEARCH Open Access The clinical and mutational spectrum of B3GAT3 linkeropathy: two case reports and literature review Marlies Colman1, Tim Van Damme1, Elisabeth Steichen-Gersdorf2, Franco Laccone3, Sheela Nampoothiri4, Delfien Syx1, Brecht Guillemyn1, Sofie Symoens1 and Fransiska Malfait1* Abstract Background: Proteoglycans are large and structurally complex macromolecules which can be found in abundancy in the extracellular matrix and on the surface of all animal cells. Mutations in the genes encoding the enzymes responsible for the formation of the tetrasaccharide linker region between the proteoglycan core protein and the glycosaminoglycan side chains lead to a spectrum of severe and overlapping autosomal recessive connective tissue disorders, collectively coined the ‘glycosaminoglycan linkeropathies’. Results: We report the clinical findings of two novel patients with a complex linkeropathy due to biallelic mutations in B3GAT3, the gene that encodes glucuronosyltransferase I, which catalyzes the addition of the ultimate saccharide to the linker region. We identified a previously reported c.667G > A missense mutation and an unreported homozygous c.416C > T missense mutation. We also performed a genotype and phenotype-oriented literature overview of all hitherto reported patients harbouring B3GAT3 mutations. A total of 23 patients from 10 families harbouring bi-allelic mutations and one patient with a heterozygeous splice-site mutation in B3GAT3 have been reported. They all display a complex phenotype characterized by consistent presence of skeletal dysplasia (including short stature, kyphosis, scoliosis and deformity of the long bones), facial dysmorphology, and spatulate distal phalanges.
