Paper
AAV-Mediated CAG-Targeting Selectively Reduces Polyglutamine-Expanded Protein and Attenuates Disease Phenotypes in a Spinocerebellar Ataxia Mouse ModelInternational journal of molecular sciences · 2024
Summary (written by the submitters)
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) belonging to a family of autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias (ADCAs) is pathomechanistically associated with the group of polyglutamine expansion disorders which include SCA 1-3, 6, 7 and 17, and Huntington’s disease. These rare diseases share a common mutational feature that is the expansion of CAG repeat sequence in disease causing genes.

These mutations lead to neuronal accumulation of expanded polyglutamine proteins and selective patterns of neurodegeneration. SCA7 is caused by a polyglutamine expansion in ATAXIN-7 (ATXN7), a subcomponent of co-activatory transcriptional complex SAGA and primarily affects the cerebellum, retina and brainstem. Currently, only treatments alleviating symptoms are available to patients. Allele-selective lowering of mutant polyQ proteins promises to have high therapeutic outcomes and safety profiles. In this study, PhP.eB adeno-associated virus (AAV PhP.eB) was used to deliver several shRNAs targeting expanded CAG repeats that were tested for their safety and efficacy to lower the mATXN7 level in the brain. The SCA7140Q/5Q knock-in mice that expresses a mutated Atxn7 allele harboring an expansion of 140 CAG triplet repeats and the wild type mouse allele with 5 CAGs were used in the study. Our SCA7 140Q/5Q KI mouse model remarkably recapitulates cardinal features of SCA7 and bears the potential for pre-clinical trials (Niewiadomska-Cimicka et al., J.Neurosci., 2021). We showed that systemic injection of the AAV-shA4, the most allele-selective and safe reagent of our collection, results in improvement of motor phenotypes as indicated in open field test, and partial correction of transcriptional alterations in the cerebellum of SCA7 mice.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE244970_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1026540 and SRA study SRP465457. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
