项目摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder with a complex genetic
architecture. The development of effective therapeutics and diagnostic tools for ASD has been hindered by our
incomplete understanding of underlying genetic variation. De novo variants (DNVs), estimated to contribute to
30-40% of cases, have been primarily studied in protein-coding regions of the genome. Hundreds of thousands
of non-coding variants have been identified but deciphering their functional contribution to ASD etiology remains
challenging. Cis-regulatory elements such as promoters and enhancers represent one avenue to assay the
potential impact of non-coding DNVs, but their regulatory activity is dependent on cellular contexts such as cell
type and activation state. The two cell types primarily involved in ASD biology are excitatory (glutamatergic) and
inhibitory (GABAergic) neurons, both of which can be generated in vitro from human pluripotent stem cells and
depolarized to model the transcriptomic and epigenetic changes caused by neuronal activation. Our lab
annotated the enhancers present in both cell types at baseline and activated states and found 2495 enhancers
containing non-coding ASD DNVs, including several hundred that are cell-type specific or activity-dependent.
Using a massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA), this proposal will determine whether non-coding DNVs found
in individuals with autism alter cis-regulatory activity in glutamatergic or GABAergic human neurons in either
baseline or activated states. Further, gene-enhancer mapping has revealed that a subset of DNV-containing
enhancers is predicted to regulate genes previously implicated in ASD. To validate cis-regulatory activity and to
compare trans-effects on downstream gene networks, a CRISPR inhibition screen will be performed in both cell
types and activation states, targeting 25 ASD genes and their DNV-containing enhancers. If successful, this work
will demonstrate the potential functional contribution of non-coding de novo variants to ASD biology, which has
thus far remained an outstanding question in the field. Moreover, this will generate transcriptomic datasets for
top ASD risk genes in two clinically relevant cell types at both resting and active states to expand upon the
growing number of functional genomics ASD studies, emphasizing convergent regulatory gene networks. This
research will take place at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, containing the 2nd best NIH-funded
neuroscience department and home to the Seaver Autism Center, renowned for bridging basic science and
clinical trials for more effective ASD care. The scientific rigor, innovative techniques, sophisticated analyses,
multi-disciplinary collaborations, and ample mentorship opportunities outlined here would propel me towards a
successful career as an independent research professor studying the molecular mechanisms underlying
psychiatric disorders while mentoring future generations of scientists and advocating for mental health education.
项目摘要
自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)是一种异质性神经发育障碍,具有复杂的遗传学特征。
架构ASD的有效治疗和诊断工具的开发受到我们的阻碍。
对潜在遗传变异的不完全理解。新生变异体(DNV),估计有助于
30-40%的病例主要在基因组的蛋白质编码区进行研究。数十万

挑战性顺式调节元件如启动子和增强子代表了一种测定表达的途径。
非编码DNV的潜在影响,但其调节活性取决于细胞环境,如细胞
类型和激活状态。ASD生物学中主要涉及的两种细胞类型是兴奋性(兴奋性)和
抑制性(GABA能)神经元,这两者都可以在体外从人多能干细胞产生,
去极化以模拟由神经元活化引起的转录组和表观遗传变化。我们实验室

将证明非编码从头变异对ASD生物学的潜在功能贡献,
到目前为止,这仍然是该领域的一个悬而未决的问题。此外,这将生成转录组数据集,
在两种临床相关的细胞类型中,在静息和活跃状态下,
越来越多的功能基因组学ASD研究,强调收敛调节基因网络。这

神经科学系和西弗自闭症中心的所在地,以连接基础科学和
进行临床试验以获得更有效的ASD治疗。科学的严谨,创新的技术,复杂的分析,
多学科的合作,以及这里概述的充足的导师机会将推动我走向一个
成功的职业生涯作为一个独立的研究教授研究的分子机制,
精神疾病,同时指导未来的科学家和倡导心理健康教育。
