• HNRNPH2-R114W remodels RNA splicing and neurodevelopmental gene programs in isogenic cerebral organoids
  GSE348913Homo sapiens4 个样本2026-10-31

  Autism spectrum disorder has been linked to disrupted RNA processing during corticogenesis, yet variant-specific mechanisms remain difficult to resolve. Isogenic cerebral organoids derived from a patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line carrying the HNRNPH2-R114W variant and its CRISPR-corrected counterpart serve as a human developmental model to investigate variant-associated RNA dysregulation. Imaging quantification and exploratory bulk RNA sequencing, performed at a single developmental time point using one pooled organoid RNA sample from each genotype, identify coordinated remodeling of neuronal and metabolic programs, along with junction-centered splicing dysregulation involving 6,310 differentially used junctions. Computational structural docking situates HNRNPH2 RNA recognition motifs (RRMs) 1-3 within a spliceosomal context and locates residue R114 near a predicted RNA-contact interface, indicating that the R114W substitution may alter RNA engagement. Integration of differential expression with event- and isoform-level analyses identifies regulatory hubs enriched for axon guidance and synaptic signaling pathways. Single-cell-reference-based deconvolution suggests modest compositional shifts that are unlikely to account for the extent of transcriptional and splicing alterations observed. Collectively, these findings implicate HNRNPH2-R114W in widespread RNA rewiring and define candidate isoform-level endpoints for mechanistic and therapeutic investigation in human cortical organoids. These molecular signatures open new avenues to examine how HNRNPH2-associated RNA dysregulation evolves across developmental time and recurs across independent biological contexts, providing a foundation for further mechanistic studies of this rare neurodevelopmental disorder.

• GOLDEN: Gene expression and allele-informed decomposition for genetic heterogeneity in spatial transcriptomic data
  GSE341398Homo sapiens2 个样本2026-10-31

  Spatial transcriptomics (ST) enables exploration of cellular interactions, but current methods rely on pathologist annotation and face limitations in addressing genetic heterogeneity, where niches harbor non-clonal cells, as in placental or allograft tissues. To decipher such inter-individual heterogeneity in ST, we developed GOLDEN (Gene expression and allele-informed decomposition for genetic heterogeneity), an allele-aware multi-task network that encodes spot-level expression into shared latent representations. Incorporating allele features, it uses dual heads to classify spot identity (target, non-target, or mixed) and to estimate target fractions. For evaluation, we generated synthetic ST data via a Gamma-distribution model using semi-allogeneic single-cell profiles. On these synthetic benchmarks, GOLDEN achieved reliable deconvolution (Pearson's r = 0.977; MAE = 0.045) while maintaining consistent predictions across real-world STs, which were validated through genetic evidence.

• Detection of a sequence feature for recursive splicing
  GSE327295Homo sapiens5 个样本2026-10-30

  RNA splicing is directed by cis-acting sequence signals interacting with trans-acting factors to remove introns from newly transcribed pre-mRNA, joining exons to generate mature mRNA. Splicing happens far more often than observed exon-exon junctions in mRNA. As one contributing process, the spliceosome progressively removes large introns in small segments by ‘recursive splicing’, instead of splicing the whole intron at one time. However, the cis-acting sequences associated with recursive splicing have not been identified. Using probabilistic mixture models, we found that recursive splicing occurs more frequently in first introns, which are typically longer, and exhibit a distinct CG-rich sequence feature in the sequences flanking the upstream 5’SS, and depletion of CGs in the downstream polypyrimidine tract. Remarkably, recursive splicing is also more frequent in downstream introns of genes containing first introns with these properties. Mechanistically, these data suggest that early events in RNA synthesis and processing influence the prevalence of recursive splicing for the rest of the transcript. Finally, we developed a sequence-dependent classifier for recursive splicing, which we tested with a novel medium-throughput primer extension assay. In summary, the usage of recursive splicing sites is established at the beginning of RNA synthesis through newly-identified sequence motifs flanking both ends of the first intron.

• Novel WRN Exon 10 Skipping Mutation Triggers Progerin Accumulation and Premature Aging
  GSE351663Mus musculus6 个样本2026-10-26

  Werner Syndrome (WS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by premature aging and increased susceptibility to various age-related diseases, predominantly caused by mutations in the WRN gene. This study investigated a Chinese patient with WS and partial lipoatrophic diabetes mellitus, aiming to identify a novel pathogenic variant in the WRN gene. High-throughput sequencing was conducted on genomic DNA from a blood sample. The identified homozygous variant (WRN_intron9 c.1270-1G>C) was confirmed, and its pathogenicity was assessed through in silico predictions, structural modeling, and cell function assays. The variant's effect on exon skipping was analyzed, and cellular assays were performed to validate the induced phenotype. The study identifies a novel WRN variant as a potential pathogenic factor in the patient. Simulations predict that the WRN_intron9 c.1270-1G>C mutation triggers exon 10 skipping, deleting one of the two highly homologous peptide regions encoded by exon 10 and exon 11 respectively. Cellular assays confirm senescent phenotype induction and human progerin accumulation, leading to premature cellular senescence.
