Abstract Brain dysfunction in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the prototype of toxic RNA disorders, has been mainly attributed to neuronal RNA misprocessing, while little attention has been given to non-neuronal brain cells. Here, using a transgenic mouse model of DM1 that expresses mutant RNA in various brain cell types (neurons, astroglia, and oligodendroglia), we demonstrate that astrocytes exhibit impaired ramification and polarization in vivo and defects in adhesion, spreading, and migration. RNA-dependent toxicity and phenotypes are also found in human transfected glial cells. In line with the cell phenotypes, molecular analyses reveal extensive expression and accumulation of toxic RNA in astrocytes, which result in RNA spliceopathy that is more severe than in neurons. Astrocyte missplicing affects primarily transcripts that regulate cell adhesion, cytoskeleton, and morphogenesis, and it is confirmed in human brain tissue. Our findings demonstrate that DM1 impacts astrocyte cell biology, possibly compromising their support and regulation of synaptic function.
