Kidney disease genetic risk variants alter lysosomal beta-mannosidase (MANBA) expression and disease severity.

ABSTRACT: More than 800 million people in the world suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD). Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of loci where genetic variants are associated with kidney function; however, causal genes and pathways for CKD remain unknown. Here, we performed integration of kidney function GWAS and human kidney-specific expression quantitative trait analysis and identified that the expression of beta-mannosidase (MANBA) was lower in kidneys of subjects with CKD risk genotype. We also show an increased incidence of renal failure in subjects with rare heterozygous loss-of-function coding variants in MANBA using phenome-wide association analysis of 40,963 subjects with exome sequencing data. MANBA is a lysosomal gene highly expressed in kidney tubule cells. Deep phenotyping revealed structural and functional lysosomal alterations in human kidneys from subjects with CKD risk alleles and mice with genetic deletion of Manba Manba heterozygous and knockout mice developed more severe kidney fibrosis when subjected to toxic injury induced by cisplatin or folic acid. Manba loss altered multiple pathways, including endocytosis and autophagy. In the absence of Manba, toxic acute tubule injury induced inflammasome activation and fibrosis. Together, these results illustrate the convergence of common noncoding and rare coding variants in MANBA in kidney disease development and demonstrate the role of the endolysosomal system in kidney disease development.

Association between MANBA Gene Variants and Chronic Kidney Disease in a Korean Population.

Project description:Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a damaged condition of the kidneys, is a global public health problem that can be caused by diabetes, hypertension, and other disorders. Recently, the MANBA gene was identified in CKD by integrating CKD-related variants and kidney expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data. This study evaluated the effects of MANBA gene variants on CKD and kidney function-related traits using a Korean cohort. We also analyzed the association of MANBA gene variants with kidney-related traits such as the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and uric acid levels using linear regression analysis. As a result, 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were replicated in CKD (p < 0.05), consistent with previous studies. Among them, rs4496586, which was the most significant for CKD and kidney function-related traits, was associated with a decreased CKD risk in participants with the homozygous minor allele (CC), increased eGFR, and decreased creatinine and uric acid concentrations. Furthermore, the association analysis between the rs4496586 genotype and MANBA gene expression in human tubules and glomeruli showed high MANBA gene expression in the minor allele carriers. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that MANBA gene variants were associated with CKD and kidney function-related traits in a Korean cohort.

A MANBA mutation resulting in residual beta-mannosidase activity associated with severe leukoencephalopathy: a possible pseudodeficiency variant.

Project description:BACKGROUND: beta-Mannosidosis (OMIM 248510) is a rare inborn lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficient activity of beta-mannosidase, an enzyme encoded by a single gene (MANBA) located on chromosome 4q22-25. To date, only 20 cases of this autosomal recessive disorder have been described and 14 different MANBA mutations were incriminated in the disease. These are all null mutations or missense mutations that abolish beta-mannosidase activity. In this study, we characterized the molecular defect of a new case of beta-mannosidosis, presenting with a severe neurological disorder. METHODS: Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes of the patient to allow MANBA sequencing. The identified mutation was engineered by site-directed mutagenesis and the mutant protein was expressed through transient transfection in HEK293T cells. The beta-mannosidase expression and activity were respectively assessed by Western blot and fluorometric assay in both leukocytes and HEK293T cells. RESULTS: A missense disease-associated mutation, c.1922G>A (p.Arg641His), was identified for which the patient was homozygous. In contrast to previously described missense mutations, this substitution does not totally abrogate the enzyme activity but led to a residual activity of about 7% in the patient's leukocytes, 11% in lymphoblasts and 14% in plasma. Expression studies in transfected cells also resulted in 7% residual activity. CONCLUSION: Correlations between MANBA mutations, residual activity of beta-mannosidase and the severity of the ensuing neurological disorder are discussed. Whether the c.1922G>A mutation is responsible for a yet undescribed pseudodeficiency of beta-mannosidase is also discussed.

Distribution and Severity of Neuropathology in β-Mannosidase-Deficient Mice is Strain Dependent.

Project description:Neurological dysfunction is common in humans and animals with lysosomal storage diseases. β-Mannosidosis, an autosomal recessive inherited disorder of glycoprotein catabolism caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme β-mannosidase, is characterized by intracellular accumulation of small oligosaccharides in selected cell types. In ruminants, clinical manifestation is severe, and neuropathology includes extensive intracellular vacuolation and dysmyelination. In human cases of β-mannosidosis, the clinical symptoms, including intellectual disability, are variable and can be relatively mild. A β-mannosidosis knockout mouse was previously characterized and showed normal growth, appearance, and lifespan. Neuropathology between 1 and 9 months of age included selective, variable neuronal vacuolation with no hypomyelination. This study characterized distribution of brain pathology in older mutant mice, investigating the effects of two strain backgrounds. Morphological analysis indicated a severe consistent pattern of neuronal vacuolation and disintegrative degeneration in all five 129X1/SvJ mice. However, the mice with a mixed genetic background showed substantial variability in the severity of pathology. In the severely affected animals, neuronal vacuolation was prominent in specific layers of piriform area, retrosplenial area, anterior cingulate area, selected regions of isocortex, and in hippocampus CA3. Silver degeneration reaction product was prominent in regions including specific cortical layers and cerebellar molecular layer. The very consistent pattern of neuropathology suggests metabolic differences among neuronal populations that are not yet understood and will serve as a basis for future comparison with human neuropathological analysis. The variation in severity of pathology in different mouse strains implicates genetic modifiers in the variable phenotypic expression in humans.

Partial purification of goat kidney beta-mannosidase.

Project description:1. Goat kidney beta-mannosidase was purified 8500-fold to a specific activity of 65,000 nmol/h per mg of protein with a 6% yield by using multiple steps including cation-exchange and anion-exchange fast protein liquid chromatography. This is the first description of a highly purified preparation from goat tissue; however, it was not homogeneous, as judged by silver-stained SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. 2. The enzyme exhibited microheterogeneity when analysed by isoelectric focusing (pI 5.5-6.5). 3. Purified beta-mannosidase hydrolysed the terminal beta-(1----4)-linkage of oligosaccharides that accumulate in beta-mannosidosis.

Bovine kidney beta-mannosidase: purification and characterization.

Project description:Lysosomal beta-mannosidase was purified 160,000-fold in 24% yield from bovine kidney by a four-step purification procedure, which included concanavalin A-Sepharose, immunoaffinity, TSK-butyl and h.p.l.c. cation-exchange chromatography. When analysed by SDS/PAGE and detected by Coomassie Blue or silver staining, the purified enzyme preparation consists of two prominent peptides (100 and 110 kDa) and a third minor peptide (84 kDa). These three peptides are immunologically related and are consistently associated with beta-mannosidase activity in all chromatographic steps. Removal of N-linked carbohydrate from the 84, 100 and 110 kDa peptides decreases their molecular sizes to 75, 86 and 91 kDa respectively. Bovine kidneys lacking beta-mannosidase, activity, acquired from calves affected with beta-mannosidosis, do not contain detectable quantities of the three beta-mannosidase peptides, as judged by monoclonal- and polyclonal-antibody reactivity.

Genetic variants alter T-bet binding and gene expression in mucosal inflammatory disease

Project description:The polarization of CD4+ T cells into distinct T helper cell lineages is essential for protective immunity against infection, but aberrant T cell polarization can cause autoimmunity. The transcription factor T-bet (TBX21) specifies the Th1 lineage and represses alternative T cell fates. Genome-wide association studies have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that may be causative for autoimmune diseases. The majority of these polymorphisms are located within non-coding distal regulatory elements. It is considered that these genetic variants contribute to disease by altering the binding of regulatory proteins and thus gene expression, but whether these variants alter the binding of lineage-specifying transcription factors has not been determined. Here, we show that SNPs associated with the mucosal inflammatory diseases Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis (UC) and celiac disease, but not rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis, are enriched at T-bet binding sites. Furthermore, we identify disease-associated variants that alter T-bet binding in vitro and in vivo. ChIP-seq for T-bet in individuals heterozygous for the celiac disease-associated SNPs rs1465321 and rs2058622 and the IBD-associated SNPs rs1551398 and rs1551399, reveals decreased binding to the minor disease-associated alleles. Furthermore, we show that rs1465321 is an expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) for the neighboring gene IL18RAP, with decreased T-bet binding associated with decreased expression of this gene. These results suggest that genetic polymorphisms may predispose individuals to mucosal autoimmune disease through alterations in T-bet binding. Other disease-associated variants may similarly act by modulating the binding of lineage-specifying transcription factors in a tissue-selective and disease-specific manner.

Lysosomal β-glucuronidase regulates Lyme and rheumatoid arthritis severity.

Project description:Lyme disease, caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, is the most prevalent arthropod-borne illness in the United States and remains a clinical and social challenge. The spectrum of disease severity among infected patients suggests that host genetics contribute to pathogenic outcomes, particularly in patients who develop arthritis. Using a forward genetics approach, we identified the lysosomal enzyme β-glucuronidase (GUSB), a member of a large family of coregulated lysosomal enzymes, as a key regulator of Lyme-associated arthritis severity. Severely arthritic C3H mice possessed a naturally occurring hypomorphic allele, Gusbh. C57BL/6 mice congenic for the C3H Gusb allele were prone to increased Lyme-associated arthritis severity. Radiation chimera experiments revealed that resident joint cells drive arthritis susceptibility. C3H mice expressing WT Gusb as a transgene were protected from severe Lyme arthritis. Importantly, the Gusbh allele also exacerbated disease in a serum transfer model of rheumatoid arthritis. A known GUSB function is the prevention of lysosomal accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Development of Lyme and rheumatoid arthritis in Gusbh-expressing mice was associated with heightened accumulation of GAGs in joint tissue. We propose that GUSB modulates arthritis pathogenesis by preventing accumulation of proinflammatory GAGs within inflamed joint tissue, a trait that may be shared by other lysosomal exoglycosidases.

Association of Multiple Genetic Variants with the Extension and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease.

Project description:Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a condition that, when associated with ischemic heart disease and cardiovascular events, can be influenced by genetic variants and determine more severe coronary atherosclerosis.To examine the contribution of genetic polymorphisms to the extension and severity of coronary disease in subjects with MS and recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Patients (n = 116, 68% males) aged 56 (9) years, with criteria for MS, were prospectively enrolled to the study during the hospitalization period after an ACS. Clinical and laboratory parameters, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, adiponectin, endothelial function, and the Gensini score were assessed. Polymorphisms of paraoxonase-1 (PON-1), methylenotetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (ENOS), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R), apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3), lipoprotein lipase (LPL) were analysed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, followed by the identification of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP, and a genetic score was calculated. Parametric and non-parametric tests were used, as appropriate. Significance was set at p < 0.05.Polymorphisms of PON-1, MTHFR and ENOS were not in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The DD genotype of LPL was associated with higher severity and greater extension of coronary lesions. Genetic score tended to be higher in patients with Gensini score < P50 (13.7 ± 1.5 vs. 13.0 ± 1.6, p = 0.066), with an inverse correlation between genetic and Gensini scores (R = -0.194, p = 0.078).The LPL polymorphism contributed to the severity of coronary disease in patients with MS and recent ACS. Combined polymorphisms were associated with the extension of coronary disease, and the lower the genetic score the more severe the disease.

Project description:Vitamin D deficiency is common in HIV infection and has been associated with advanced disease. This study investigated whether vitamin D-related genetic variants were associated with disease progression in HIV-infected children.The Fok-I (C/T), Bsm-I (G/A), GC (A/C), DHCR7 (G/T) and CYP2R1 (G/A) genetic variants were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction in HIV-infected children who participated in the Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Group P152 and P300 protocols, which predated the availability of effective combination antiretroviral therapy. The primary endpoints included time to progression to the first HIV-related disease endpoint (?2 opportunistic infection, weight growth failure) or death, which constituted the progression-free survival. Analyses were performed for age>2 years and ?2 years separately adjusting for race and treatment effect.Of the 998 children evaluated, 139 experienced HIV disease progression. For children>2 years, rapid disease progression was associated with the DHCR7 G allele compared with the T allele (G/G vs. T/T: hazard ratio [HR]=5.0, P = 0.035; G/T vs. T/T: HR=4.5, P=0.042; G/G+G/T vs. T/T: HR=4.8, P=0.036) and the Bsm-I A allele compared with the G allele (A/G vs. G/G: HR=2.2, P=0.014 and A/G+A/A vs. G/G: HR=2.0, P=0.026). In children?2 years, the Bsm-I A allele increased the risk of disease progression in Hispanics (A/A vs. G/A+G/G: HR=2.8, P=0.03 and A/A vs. G/G: HR=2.8, P=0.046) and whites (A/A vs. G/G: HR=6.6, P=0.025 and A/A vs. G/A+G/G: HR=3.6, P=0.038).Vitamin D-related host genetic variants that alter the availability and activity of vitamin D are associated with risk of HIV disease progression in children and may vary by age and race.

Associations between genetic risk variants for kidney diseases and kidney disease etiology.

Project description:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem with a genetic component. Genome-wide association studies have identified variants associated with specific CKD etiologies, but their genetic overlap has not been well studied. This study examined SNP associations across different CKD etiologies and CKD stages using data from 5,034 CKD patients of the German Chronic Kidney Disease study. In addition to confirming known associations, a systemic lupus erythematosus-associated risk variant at TNXB was also associated with CKD attributed to type 1 diabetes (p = 2.5 × 10-7), a membranous nephropathy-associated variant at HLA-DQA1 was also associated with CKD attributed to systemic lupus erythematosus (p = 5.9 × 10-6), and an IgA risk variant at HLA-DRB1 was associated with both CKD attributed to granulomatosis with polyangiitis (p = 2.0 × 10-4) and to type 1 diabetes (p = 4.6 × 10-11). Associations were independent of additional risk variants in the respective genetic regions. Evaluation of CKD stage showed a significant association of the UMOD risk variant, previously identified in population-based studies for association with kidney function, for advanced (stage ≥G3b) compared to early-stage CKD (≤stage G2). Shared genetic associations across CKD etiologies and stages highlight the role of the immune response in CKD. Association studies with detailed information on CKD etiology can reveal shared genetic risk variants.
