Endocytosis of secreted carboxyl ester lipase in a syndrome of diabetes and pancreatic exocrine dysfunction.

ABSTRACT: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young, type 8 (MODY8) is characterized by a syndrome of autosomal dominantly inherited diabetes and exocrine pancreatic dysfunction. It is caused by deletion mutations in the last exon of the carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) gene, resulting in a CEL protein with increased tendency to aggregate. In this study we investigated the intracellular distribution of the wild type (WT) and mutant (MUT) CEL proteins in cellular models. We found that both CEL-WT and CEL-MUT were secreted via the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi compartments. However, their subcellular distributions differed, as only CEL-MUT was observed as an aggregate at the cell surface and inside large cytoplasmic vacuoles. Many of the vacuoles were identified as components of the endosomal system, and after its secretion, the mutant CEL protein was re-internalized, transported to the lysosomes, and degraded. Internalization of CEL-MUT also led to reduced viability of pancreatic acinar and beta cells. These findings may have implications for the understanding of how the acinar-specific CEL-MUT protein causes both exocrine and endocrine pancreatic disease.

Project description:IntroductionMutations of CEL gene were first reported to cause a new type of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) denoted as MODY8 and then were also found in patients with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, its genotype-phenotype relationship has not been fully determined and how carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) variants result in diabetes remains unclear. The aim of our study was to identify pathogenic variants of CEL in patients with diabetes and confirm their pathogenicity.Research design and methodsAll five patients enrolled in our study were admitted to Shandong Provincial Hospital and diagnosed with diabetes in the past year. Whole-exome sequencing was performed to identify pathogenic variants in three patients with MODY-like diabetes, one newborn baby with T1D and one patient with atypical T2D, as well as their immediate family members. Then the consequences of the identified variants were predicted by bioinformatic analysis. Furthermore, pathogenic effects of two novel CEL variants were evaluated in HEK293 cells transfected with wild-type and mutant plasmids. Finally, we summarized all CEL gene variants recorded in Human Gene Mutation Database and analyzed the mutation distribution of CEL.ResultsFive novel heterozygous variants were identified in CEL gene and they were predicted to be pathogenic by bioinformatic analysis. Moreover, in vitro studies indicated that the expression of CELR540C was remarkably increased, while p.G729_T739del variant did not significantly affect the expression of CEL. Both novel variants obviously abrogated the secretion of CEL. Furthermore, we summarized all reported CEL variants and found that 74.3% of missense mutations were located in exons 1, 3, 4, 10 and 11 and most missense variants clustered near catalytic triad, Arg-83 and Arg-443.ConclusionOur study identified five novel CEL variants in patients with different subtypes of diabetes, expanding the gene mutation spectrum of CEL and confirmed the pathogenicity of several novel variants.
