(Submitter supplied) Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused primarily by a CGG repeat expansion mutation in the FMR1 gene that triggers its epigenetic silencing. In order to investigate the role of different epigenetic regulatory layers in the silencing of FMR1 expression, we tested a collection of epigenetic modulators for the ability to reactivate the FMR1 locus. While inhibitors of DNA methylatransferase induced the highest levels of FMR1 mRNA expression, a combination of a DNMT inhibitor and a novel epigenetic agent was able to potentiate the effect of reactivating treatment. more...

(Submitter supplied) Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common genetic form of intellectual disability in male, is caused by silencing of the FMR1 gene by hypermethylation of the CGG expansion mutation in the 5’UTR region of FMR1 in FXS patients. Here, we applied recently developed DNA methylation editing tools to reverse this hypermethylation event. Targeted demethylation of the CGG expansion by dCas9-Tet1/sgRNA switched the heterochromatin status of the upstream FMR1 promoter to an active chromatin state restoring a persistent expression of FMR1 in FXS iPSCs. more...

(Submitter supplied) Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common genetic form of intellectual disability in male, is caused by the silence of FMR1. Hypermethylation of the CGG expansion mutation in the 5’UTR region of FMR1 in FXS patients was thought to epigenetically silence FMR1. Here, we applied our previously developed DNA methylation editing tool to reverse this hypermethylation event. Targeted demethylation of the CGG expansion by dCas9-Tet1/gRNA switched the heterochromatin status of the FMR1 promoter to an active chromatin status and subsequently restored FMR1 expression in FXS iPSCs. more...

(Submitter supplied) Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is one of the most prevalent inherited intellectual disabilities. The patients carry the expansion of over 200 CGG repeats located at the 5′ untranslated region of fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1). As a result, the FMR1 promoter becomes hypermethylated leading to decreased or absent expression of its encoded RNA-binding protein fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). more...

(Submitter supplied) Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by transcriptional silencing of the FMR1 gene during embryonic development with the consequent loss of the encoded fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). The pathological mechanisms of FXS have been extensively studied using the Fmr1-knockout mouse, and the findings suggest important roles for FMRP in synaptic plasticity and proper functioning of neural networks. more...

(Submitter supplied) Transcriptional silencing of the FMR1 gene in fragile X syndrome (FXS) leads to loss of the RNA-binding protein, FMRP. In addition to its well-established role of regulating protein synthesis, emerging evidence suggests that FMRP acts to coordinate proliferation and differentiation during early neural development. However, whether translational control by FMRP drives critical cellular events of fate specification and developmental transitions in the developing human brain remains unknown. more...

(Submitter supplied) The primary mechanism causing Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the expansion and silencing of a repetitive CGG sequence in the 5’-UTR of the FMR1 gene. To identify novel epigenetic pathways involved in FXS pathogenesis, we have established a model system for FMR1 silencing using a construct containing the FXS-related FMR1 CGG expansion upstream to an EGFP reporter gene. This construct was methylated in vitro and introduced into a genome-wide loss-of-function (LOF) library established in haploid human pluripotent stem cells. more...

(Submitter supplied) The primary mechanism causing Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the expansion and silencing of a repetitive CGG sequence in the 5’-UTR of the FMR1 gene. Previous work has demonstrated that chemical disruption of DNA methylation induces FMR1 expression in FXS-iPSCs. To further explore the maintenance of DNA methylation in the FMR1 locus, and to test the possibility of FMR1 reactivation using gene targeting of a single epigenetic factor, we performed a global transcriptional analysis of FXS-iPSCs infected with a lentiviral construct containing Cas9 and sgRNA targeting DNMT1.

(Submitter supplied) We found that transient treatment with Nutlin-3 of 2-month-old young adult FMR1-deficient mice prevents the emergence of neurogenic and cognitive deficits in mature adult FXS mice at 6-month of age. We further found that the long-lasting restoration of neurogenesis and cognitive function might not be mediated by changing intrinsic properties of adult neural stem cells. Transcriptomic analysis of the hippocampal tissue demonstrated that transient Nultin-3 treatment leads to significant expression changes in genes related to extracellular matrix, secreted factors, and cell membrane proteins in FMR1-deficient hippocampus
