SGCE isoform characterization and expression in human brain: implications for myoclonus–dystonia pathogenesis?

Open access

Abstract

Myoclonus-dystonia (M-D) is a neurological movement disorder with involuntary jerky and dystonic movements as major symptoms. About 50% of M-D patients have a mutation in ɛ-sarcoglycan (SGCE), a maternally imprinted gene that is widely expressed. As little is known about SGCE function, one can only speculate about the pathomechanisms of the exclusively neurological phenotype in M-D. We characterized different SGCE isoforms in the human brain using ultra-deep sequencing. We show that a major brain-specific isoform is differentially expressed in the human brain with a notably high expression in the cerebellum, namely in the Purkinje cells and neurons of the dentate nucleus. Its expression was low in the globus pallidus and moderate to low in caudate nucleus, putamen and substantia nigra. Our data are compatible with a model in which dysfunction of the cerebellum is involved in the pathogenesis of M-D.

  • Nfasc and Sgce are differentially spliced in neurons and glia, and this is confirmed in our splicing database.

    “Two particularly interesting examples include the differential expression of neuronal and glial isoforms of Nfasc and Sgce genes (Zonta et al., 2008;Ritz et al., 2011), both of which are confirmed in our splicing database, among others.”

    From An RNA-Sequencing Transcriptome and Splicing Database of Glia, Neurons, and Vascular Cells of the Cerebral Cortex (2014) · cites this paper as Ritz et al., 2011

    The SGCE mRNA isoforms section reports alternative splicing, and the Localization of SGCE mRNA isoforms in human brain section reports that exon 11b and total SGCE signals were most prominent in neurons. It reports only faint signals in glial cells, not distinct glial SGCE isoforms or differential splicing between neurons and glia. The cited paper is not being offered as evidence for Nfasc or for the citing authors’ database. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
