A zebrafish model of congenital disorders of glycosylation with phosphomannose isomerase deficiency reveals an early opportunity for corrective mannose supplementation.

ABSTRACT: Individuals with congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) have recessive mutations in genes required for protein N-glycosylation, resulting in multi-systemic disease. Despite the well-characterized biochemical consequences in these individuals, the underlying cellular defects that contribute to CDG are not well understood. Synthesis of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO), which serves as the sugar donor for the N-glycosylation of secretory proteins, requires conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to mannose-6-phosphate via the phosphomannose isomerase (MPI) enzyme. Individuals who are deficient in MPI present with bleeding, diarrhea, edema, gastrointestinal bleeding and liver fibrosis. MPI-CDG patients can be treated with oral mannose supplements, which is converted to mannose-6-phosphate through a minor complementary metabolic pathway, restoring protein glycosylation and ameliorating most symptoms, although liver disease continues to progress. Because Mpi deletion in mice causes early embryonic lethality and thus is difficult to study, we used zebrafish to establish a model of MPI-CDG. We used a morpholino to block mpi mRNA translation and established a concentration that consistently yielded 13% residual Mpi enzyme activity at 4 days post-fertilization (dpf), which is within the range of MPI activity detected in fibroblasts from MPI-CDG patients. Fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis detected decreased LLO and N-glycans in mpi morphants. These deficiencies resulted in 50% embryonic lethality by 4 dpf. Multi-systemic abnormalities, including small eyes, dysmorphic jaws, pericardial edema, a small liver and curled tails, occurred in 82% of the surviving larvae. Importantly, these phenotypes could be rescued with mannose supplementation. Thus, parallel processes in fish and humans contribute to the phenotypes caused by Mpi depletion. Interestingly, mannose was only effective if provided prior to 24 hpf. These data provide insight into treatment efficacy and the broader molecular and developmental abnormalities that contribute to disorders associated with defective protein glycosylation.

Project description:YEAST STRAIN: A genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain with PMI40 knockout (MATa URA3 TRP1 LEU2 his3- 1 MAL2-8C SUC2 PMI40::HIS3). The parent strain was CEN.PK113-7A (MATa URA3 TRP1 LEU2 his3- 1 MAL2-8C SUC2) obtained from Euroscarf (9). CULTIVATION MEDIUM: The mineral medium used for the bioreactor cultivations was based on the composition described by Verduyn and co-workers (11). The medium consisted of 5 g/l (NH4)2SO4 (Sigma-Aldrich, USA), 3 g/l KH2PO4 (Fluka, Swizerland) and 0.5 g/l MgSO4 × 7 H2O (Sigma-Aldrich, USA), as well as 1 ml/l trace element and 1 ml/l vitamin solution. The composition of the trace element solution was 15 g/l EDTA, 4.5 g/l ZnSO4 × 7 H2O, 0.84 g/l MnCl2 × H2O, 0.3 g/l CuSO4 × 5 H2O, 3 g/l FeSO4 × 7 H2O (Riedel-de-Haën AG, Germany), 0.1 g/l KI, 0.3 g/l CoCl3 × 6 H2O, 1 g/l H3BO3, 4.5 g/l CaCl2 × 2 H2O (Merck, Germany), and 0.4 g/l Na2MoO4 × 2 H2O (BDH Laboratory Supplies, UK). The composition of the vitamin solution was 0.05 g/l D-Biotin, 1 g/l Ca-pantothenate, 1 g/l Nicotinic acid, 25 g/l myo-inositol, 1 g/l Thiamine-HCl, 1 g/l Pyridoxine HCl, and 0.2 g/l p-aminobenzoic acid (Sigma-Aldrich, USA). The media in each cultivation contained initially 15 g/L D-glucose and a varying amount of D-mannose (0.75 g/L, 1.0 g/L, 1.5 g/L, 3.0 g/L, or 5.0 g/L). CULTIVATIONS AND SAMPLING: Bioreactor cultivations were performed in 3.2 l Braun Biostat CT2-DCU 3 instruments (B. Braun Biotech International GmbH, Germany). The cultivation temperature was +30 °C, agitation speed 1000 rpm, initial cultivation volume 2.0 l, airflow 1.0 l/min, and pH 5.0. In each cultivation, samples for the measurement of gene expression levels were taken 6 hours after inoculation. MEASUREMENT OF GENE EXPRESSION LEVELS: 0.9 mg CDW of cells were quenched in cold (-40 °C) methanol (45%) and centrifuged (1 min, +4 °C, 16100 G). The pellets were suspended in 400 µl of breaking buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 100 mM KCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 2mM DTT), 400 µl 1:1 phenol-chloroform, and 5 µl 20% SDS. Equal volume of glass beads (diameter 0.40-0.60 mm, B.Braun Biotech International, Germany) were added and samples were shaken in a bead beater (Mini-BeadBeater-8, BioSpec Products, USA) three times 1 minute at +4 °C. The mixtures were centrifuged (15 min, +4 °C, 16100 G in 5415 R, Eppendorf AG, Germany) and supernatants were recovered. The total RNA was purified from the supernatants using the QIAGEN RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen, USA) according to manufacturers instructions. After this step the double-stranded cDNA was synthesized from 15 µg of total RNA with SuperScript Double-Stranded cDNA synthesis kit (Invitrogen, USA) using a T7-oligo(dT) primer. Biotin-labeled cRNA was then synthesized employing an Enzo High Yield RNA Transcript Labeling Kit (Enzo Life Science, USA). The biotin-labeled cRNA was heat-fragmented and biotinylated cRNAs were hybridized to Affymetrix YG-S98 microarrays in Affymetrix Hybridization Oven 640. Washing and staining of arrays were performed using the GeneChip Fluidics Station 450 and scanning with the Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner 3000. Acquisition and quantification of array images were performed using the Affymetrix GeneChip Operating System 1.0. The signals were scaled into target intensity of 100. All samples were assayed in triplicates. Keywords: dose response
