Abstract

Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurological disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2), a transcriptional regulator essential for maintenance of normal neuronal function. The current FDA-approved treatment for RTT, Trofinetide, mildly alleviates some symptoms. In contrast, re-introducing MeCP2 or increasing its amount through transgenesis in mouse RTT models improves most neurological phenotypes and enhances survival. Here, we devised a therapeutic strategy to moderately increase MeCP2 protein by modulating the alternative splicing of MECP2 to switch the less efficiently translated e2 to the more efficiently translated e1 isoform. We deleted Mecp2 exon 2 (unique to e2), leading to production of only e1 mRNA, and show this upregulates MeCP2 by 50-60% in mice. Next, we investigated the consequences of isoform switching in two independent RTT induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neuron models harboring mutations that reduce both MeCP2 expression and function. Exon 2 deletion in MeCP2-G118E patient-derived neurons upregulated MeCP2, ameliorated morphological and electrophysiological changes and corrected the dysregulated transcriptome in these neurons. Isoform switching in MeCP2-T158M patient-derived neurons, modelling a severe RTT mutation, only modestly affected MeCP2 protein abundance and despite this, led to a partial transcriptomic rescue. Lastly, an exon 2-skipping Morpholino upregulated MeCP2-E1 in vivo in mice. These data set the stage for a potential therapeutic strategy using antisense oligonucleotides to promote isoform switching in patients with RTT who carry partially functioning alleles of MECP2.

The paper's code and data availability statement is in the Data section.

Tracing map

Proposed by the machine: these links were found in the paper and verified at the source, without human review. The map will receive a Zenodo DOI once one of the paper's authors has validated it with their ORCID.

What the map holds:

  • 2 repositories of the authors' code, each at its verified commit, with its license and how the link was found in the paper;
  • 8 scripts, each with its path and the digest of its content;
  • 3 matches between paragraphs of the paper and lines of the code (method lexical-v1);
  • neither the text of the paper nor the code itself.

Its JSON (tracing-map.json) is deposited on Zenodo with its DOI once the map is validated.

Data

No dataset and no data link were found in the paper.

Data, code and materials availability

All data associated with this study are present in the paper or supplementary materials. All materials newly generated in this study (E2KO mouse line, two G118E-E2KO iPSC clones and one G118E iPSC clone) will be available upon request from the corresponding author under a Material Transfer Agreement with Baylor College of Medicine. The T158M-MU-E2KO iPSC line which will be deposited at RSRT. The T158M-WT and MU iPSCs used in this study were provided by RSRT under an MTA. All other materials used or generated in this study are commercially available or will be supplied upon reasonable request. The data presented in this study are deposited on GEO (GSE268177). RNA-sequencing analysis code is available on Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18140370).
