Background:

The central nervous system (CNS) comprises numerous cell types, each with unique gene expression profiles.
Gene expression analysis in CNS tissue is crucial for understanding psychiatric diseases.
Variations in gene expression can arise from changes in tissue cellular composition, complicating analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a systematic and unbiased method for identifying cell type-specific gene markers in the CNS.
To enable robust analysis of cellularity in human brain tissue.
To investigate cellular composition changes in relation to human brain development and autism.

Main Methods:

Combined prior information from mouse cell-specific transcriptome profiling with co-expression network analysis.
Selected large sets of potential cell type-specific gene markers.
Applied the identified markers to analyze human brain microarray data.

Main Results:

The method efficiently and robustly identified sufficient gene markers for cellularity analysis.
Detected changes in human brain cellularity over time, correlating with developmental epochs.
Observed alterations in astrocytes and neurons in autism samples, suggesting their contribution to the disorder.

Conclusions:

The developed method provides a powerful tool for systematic and unbiased identification of cell type-specific gene markers.
This approach facilitates the detection of cellular composition changes in the CNS.
Findings suggest that alterations in specific cell types, like astrocytes and neurons, may play a role in autism.
