Multiomics landscape of the autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cells

ABSTRACT:

Background

Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO2) is a genetically and phenotypically metabolic bone disease, caused by osteoclast abnormalities. The pathways dysregulated in ADO2 could lead to the defects in osteoclast formation and function. However, the mechanism remains elusive.

Materials and methods

To systematically explore the molecular characterization of ADO2, we performed a multi-omics profiling from the autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II iPSCs (ADO2-iPSCs) and healthy normal control iPSCs (NC-iPSCs) using whole genome re-sequencing, DNA methylation and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) analysis in this study.

Results

Totally, we detected 7,095,817 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 1,179,573 insertion and deletions (InDels), 1,001,943 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and 2984 differential m6A peaks, and the comprehensive multi-omics profile was generated from the two cells. Interestingly, the ISG15 m6A level in ADO2-iPSCs is higher than NC-iPSCs by IGV software, and the differentially expressed m6A-modified genes (DEMGs) were highly enriched in the osteoclast differentiation and p53 signaling pathway, which associated with the development of osteopetrosis. In addition, combining our previously published transcriptome and proteome datasets, we found that the change in DNA methylation levels correlates inversely with some gene expression levels.

Conclusion

Our results indicate that the global multi-omics landscape not only provides a high-quality data resource but also reveals a dynamic pattern of gene expression, and found that the pathogenesis of ADO2 may begin early in life.

Project description:BackgroundAutosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO2) is a rare human genetic disease that has been broadly studied as an important osteopetrosis model; however, there are no disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (ADO2-iPSCs) that may be valuable for understanding the pathogenesis and may be a potential source of cells for autologous cell-based therapies.MethodsTo generate the first human ADO2-iPSCs from a Chinese family with ADO2 and to identify their characteristics, blood samples were collected from the proband and his parents and were used for genotyping by whole-exome sequencing (WES); the urine-derived cells of the proband were reprogrammed with episomal plasmids that contained transcription factors, such as KLF4, OCT4, c-MYC, and SOX2. The proteome-wide protein quantification and lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation detection of the ADO2-iPSCs and normal control iPSCs (NC-iPSCs) were performed by high-resolution LC-MS/MS and bioinformatics analysis.ResultsWES with filtering strategies identified a mutation in CLCN7 (R286W) in the proband and his father, which was absent in the proband's mother and the healthy controls; this was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The ADO2-iPSCs were successfully generated, which carried a normal male karyotype (46, XY) and the mutation of CLCN7 (R286W); the ADO2-iPSCs positively expressed alkaline phosphatase and other surface markers; and no vector and transgene were detected. The ADO2-iPSCs could differentiate into all three germ cell layers, both in vitro and in vivo. The proteomic profiling revealed similar expression of pluripotency markers in the two cell lines and identified 7405 proteins and 3664 2-hydroxyisobutyrylated peptides in 1036 proteins in the ADO2-iPSCs.ConclusionsOur data indicated that the mutation CLCN7 (R286W) may be a cause of the osteopetrosis family. The generated vector-free and transgene-free ADO2-iPSCs with known proteomic characteristics may be valuable for personalized and cell-based regenerative medicine in the future.

Project description:The osteopetroses are a heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by a bone-density increase due to impaired bone resorption. As well as the two or more autosomal recessive types, two autosomal dominant forms of osteopetrosis, differentiated by clinical and radiological signs, are described. Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (ADO) type II, also known as "Albers-Schönberg disease," is characterized by sclerosis, predominantly involving the spine (vertebral end-plate thickening, or Rugger-Jersey spine), the pelvis ("bone-within-bone" structures), and the skull base. An increased fracture rate can be observed in these patients. By linkage analysis, the presence, on chromosome 1p21, of a gene causing ADO type II was previously suggested. However, analysis of further families with ADO type II indicated genetic heterogeneity within ADO type II, with the chromosome 1p21 locus being only a minor locus. We now perform a genomewide linkage scan of a French extended family with ADO type II, which allows us to localize an ADO type II gene on chromosome 16p13.3. Analysis of microsatellite markers in five further families with ADO type II could not exclude this chromosomal region. A summed maximum LOD score of 12.70 was generated with marker D16S3027, at a recombination fraction (straight theta) of 0. On the basis of the key recombinants in the families, a candidate region of 8.4 cM could be delineated, flanked by marker D16S521, on distal side, and marker D16S423, on the proximal side. Surprisingly, one of the families analyzed is the Danish family previously suggested to have linkage to chromosome 1p21. Linkage to chromosome 16p13.3 clearly cannot be excluded in this family, since a maximum LOD score of 4.21 at theta=0 is generated with marker D16S3027. Because at present no other family with ADO type II has proved to have linkage to chromosome 1p21, we consider the most likely localization of the disease-causing gene in this family to be to chromosome 16p13.3. This thus reopens the possibility that ADO type II is genetically homogeneous because of a single gene on chromosome 16p13.3.
