Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare hereditary autosomal recessive disorder primarily caused by mutations in Cockayne syndrome protein A (CSA) or B (CSB). While many of the functions of CSB have been at least partially elucidated, little is known about the actual developmental dysregulation in this devasting disorder. Of particular interest is the regulation of cerebral development as the most debilitating symptoms are of neurological nature. We generated neurospheres and cerebral organoids utilizing Cockayne syndrome B protein (CSB)-deficient induced pluripotent stem cells derived from two patients with distinct severity levels of CS and healthy controls. The transcriptome of both developmental timepoints was explored using RNA-Seq and bioinformatic analysis to identify dysregulated biological processes common to both patients with CS in comparison to the control. CSB-deficient neurospheres displayed upregulation of the VEGFA-VEGFR2 signalling pathway, vesicle-mediated transport and head development. CSB-deficient cerebral organoids exhibited downregulation of brain development, neuron projection development and synaptic signalling. We further identified the upregulation of steroid biosynthesis as common to both timepoints, in particular the upregulation of the cholesterol biosynthesis branch. Our results provide insights into the neurodevelopmental dysregulation in patients with CS and strengthen the theory that CS is not only a neurodegenerative but also a neurodevelopmental disorder.
