Anatomical subdivisions of the human brain can be associated with different
neuronal functions. This functional diversification is reflected by differences
in gene expression. By analyzing post-mortem gene expression data from the Allen
Brain Atlas, we investigated the impact of transcription factors (TF) and RNA
secondary structures on the regulation of gene expression in the human brain.
First, we modeled the expression of a gene as a linear combination of the
expression of TFs. We devised an approach to select robust TF-gene interactions
and to determine localized contributions to gene expression of TFs. Among the TFs
with the most localized contributions, we identified EZH2 in the cerebellum,
NR3C1 in the cerebral cortex and SRF in the basal forebrain. Our results suggest
that EZH2 is involved in regulating ZIC2 and SHANK1 which have been linked to
neurological diseases such as autism spectrum disorder. Second, we associated
enriched regulatory elements inside differentially expressed mRNAs with RNA
secondary structure motifs. We found a group of purine-uracil repeat RNA
secondary structure motifs plus other motifs in neuron related genes such as
ACSL4 and ERLIN2.
