UBE3A reinstatement restores behavior and proteome in an Angelman Syndrome mouse model of Imprinting Defects

Description

Abstract Background: Angelman Syndrome (AS) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder with only symptomatic treatment currently available. The primary cause of AS is loss of functional UBE3A protein. This can be caused by deletions in the maternal 15q11-q13 region, maternal AS-imprinting center defects (mICD), paternal uniparental distomy of chromosome 15 (UPD) or mutations within the UBE3A gene. Current mouse models are Ube3a-centric and do not address expression changes of other genes in the 15q11-q13 locus on the pathophysiology of AS. This limits the ability to discern differences in therapeutic responses to current UBE3A-targeting strategies and hampers the identification of novel therapeutics/co-therapeutics. Methods: Using a mouse line that harbors a mutation affecting the AS-PWS imprinting center (mICD mice), we studied the impact of the mICD or UPD AS subtype on behavior and proteome. Additionally, by using mice overexpressing two copies of Ube3a or antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) targeting Ube3a-ATS, we analyzed the impact of bi-allelic Ube3a activation on behavior and proteome. Results: mICD mice showed a 80% reduction in UBE3A protein, bi-allelic expression of Ube3a-ATS and Mkrn3-Snord115 gene cluster, leading to robust AS behavioral deficits and proteome alterations similar to Ube3aKO mice. Genetic UBE3A overexpression in mICD mice, mimicking therapeutic strategies that effectively activate the biallelic silenced Ube3a gene, resulted in a complete rescue of all behavioral and proteome alterations. Subsequently, treatment with an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) to directly activate the biallelic silenced Ube3a gene in mICD mice also resulted in efficient reinstatement of UBE3A, 30% higher relative to WT, alongside a partial rescue of behavioral phenotypes. Limitations: Despite using a highly robust AS specific behavioral battery, we did not employ readouts such as neuronal activity, audiogenic seizures and sleep, which might be different in the mICD mice compared to Ube3aKO mice. Conclusions: Taken together, these findings demonstrate that the loss of UBE3A protein is the primary factor underlying AS phenotypes in this mICD/UPD mouse model of AS, while the biallelic expressed genes in this locus play either a marginal, or yet unidentified role. These findings also corroborate UBE3A reinstatement as an attractive therapeutic strategy for AS individuals carrying a mICD or UPD mutation.

Click here to queue conversion of this dataset's submitted spectrum files to open formats (e.g. mzML). This process may take some time.

When complete, the converted files will be available in the "ccms_peak" subdirectory of the dataset's FTP space (accessible via the "FTP Download" link to the right).
Number of distinct conditions across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct condition labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "Condition" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct biological replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct replicate labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "BioReplicate" or "Replicate" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct technical replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

The technical replicate count is defined as the maximum number of times any one distinct combination of condition and biological replicate was analyzed across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category. In the case of fractionated experiments, only the first fraction is considered.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Originally identified proteins that were automatically remapped by MassIVE to proteins in the SwissProt human reference database.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct protein accessions reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct unmodified peptide sequences reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct peptide sequences (including modified variants or peptidoforms) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Total number of peptide-spectrum matches (i.e. spectrum identifications) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins quantified across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins found to be differentially abundant in at least one comparison across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

A protein is differentially abundant if its change in abundance across conditions is found to be statistically significant with an adjusted p-value <= 0.05 and lists no issues associated with statistical tests for differential abundance.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
This dataset may not contain all raw spectra data as originally deposited in PRIDE. It has been imported to MassIVE for reanalysis purposes, so its spectra data here may consist solely of processed peak lists suitable for reanalysis with most software.
