Evidence that ciliary genes contribute to non-syndromic familial tall stature

ABSTRACT: Human growth is a complex trait. A considerable number of gene defects have been shown to cause short stature, but there are only few examples of genetic causes of non-syndromic tall stature. Besides rare variants with large effects and common risk alleles with small effect size, oligogenic effects may contribute to this phenotype. Exome sequencing was carried out in a tall male (height 3.5 SDS) and his parents. Filtered damaging variants with high CADD scores were validated by Sanger sequencing in the trio and three other affected and one unaffected family members. Network analysis was carried out to assess links between the candidates, and the transcriptome of murine growth plate was analyzed by microarray as well as RNA Seq. Heterozygous gene variants in CEP104, CROCC, NEK1, TOM1L2 and TSTD2 predicted as damaging were found to be shared between the four tall family members. Three of the five genes (CEP104, CROCC and NEK1) belong to the ciliary gene family. All genes are expressed in mouse growth plate. Pathway and network analysis indicated close functional connections. Together, these data expand the spectrum of genes with a role in linear growth and tall stature phenotypes.

Global expression profiling of Arabidopsis plants overexpressing a member of the DEVIL gene family.

Project description:The DEVIL (DVL) family is a plant-specific family of genes that encode predicted small polypeptides (Wen, et al., 2004; Narita, et al., 2004). Overexpression of DVL family members in Arabidopsis results in pleiotropic developmental phenotypes including shortened stature, rounded rosette leaves, clustered inflorescences, shortened pedicles and horn-like protrusions at the distal end of siliques. Point mutations reveled that a conserved C-terminal domain is required for DVL overexpression phenotypes and is conserved in all family members. Based on the overexpression experiments, DVL family members are suggested to play important roles in plant development. In an attempt to uncover genes whose transcription was changed in response to DVL overexpression, we designed a microarray-based global profiling experiment. A transgenic Arabidopsis line that carried a GVG construct (glucocorticoid inducible) (Aoyama and Chua, 1997) driving the expression of DVL4 was generated and used in this experiment. This allowed for better identification of primary transcriptional responses to DVL overexpression. Experiments with transgenic lines in which DVL overexpression is driven by a constitutive promoter would add the complexity of secondary transcriptional responses as well. Computational analysis of the datasets generated in this experiment lead to the identification of genes that may be involved in responding to DVL overexpression. Experimentation is currently ongoing to investigate the role these genes play in plant development and the DVL overexpression phenotypes.

Respiratory chain inactivation links cartilage-mediated growth retardation to mitochondrial diseases

Project description:In childhood skeletal growth is driven by transient expansion of cartilage in the growth plate. Common belief is that energy production in this hypoxic tissue mainly relies on anaerobic glycolysis and not on mitochondrial respiratory chain (RC) activity. However, children with mitochondrial diseases causing RC dysfunction often present with short stature, which indicates that RC activity may be essential for cartilage-mediated skeletal growth. To elucidate the role of the mitochondrial RC in cartilage growth and pathology, we generated mice with impaired RC-function in cartilage. These mice develop normally until birth, but their later growth is retarded. A detailed molecular analysis revealed that metabolic signaling and extracellular matrix formation is disturbed and induces cell death at the cartilage-bone junction to cause a chondrodysplasia-like phenotype. Hence, the results demonstrate the overall importance of the metabolic switch from fetal glycolysis to postnatal RC activation in growth plate cartilage and explain why RC dysfunction can cause short stature in children with mitochondrial disease

Different expression of ceRNAs (lncRNAs, circRNAs and mRNAs) in peripheral blood exosomes from idiopathic short stature patients and healthy controls

Project description:Idiopathic short stature is diagnosed by a standing height of less than two standard deviation scores in a specific population adjusted for age and gender and the exclusion of identifiable diseases. A series of studies have confirmed that noncoding RNAs can regulate the chondrocyte proliferation, hypertrophy, and endochondral ossification in the growth plate. In order to analyze and find differentially expressed ceRNAs (lncRNAs, circRNAs and mRNAs in peripheral blood exosomes of idiopathic short stature and healthy controls, we aimed to explore whether differentially expressed ceRNAs (lncRNAs, circRNAs and mRNAs) in peripheral blood exosomes of idiopathic short stature. Three pairs of peripheral blood exosomes samples were subjected to microarray analysis using the SBC human ceRNA Microarray.

Heterozygous variants in MGP lead to endoplasmic reticulum stress causing spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia

Project description:Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a vitamin K-dependent post-translationally modified protein, highly expressed in vascular and cartilaginous tissues. It is a potent inhibitor of extracellular matrix mineralization. Biallelic loss of function variants in the MGP gene cause Keutel syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by widespread calcification of various cartilaginous tissues and skeletal and vascular anomalies. In this study, we report four individuals from two unrelated families with two heterozygous variants in MGP, both altering the Cysteine 19 residue to phenylalanine or tyrosine. These individuals presented with a spondyloepiphyseal skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature with a short trunk, diffuse platyspondyly, midface retrusion, progressive epiphyseal anomalies and brachytelephalangism. We investigated the cellular and molecular effects of one of the heterozygous deleterious variants (C19F) using both cell and genetically modified mouse models. Heterozygous ‘knock-in’ mice expressing C19F MGP recapitulated most of the skeletal anomalies observed in the affected individuals. We demonstrated that the main underlying mechanism leading to the observed skeletal dysplasia is endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis of the growth plate chondrocytes. Our findings support that heterozygous variants in MGP altering Cys19 residue cause autosomal dominant spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, a condition distinct from Keutel syndrome both clinically and molecularly.

Epigentic profiling of murine proximal and distal femoral growth plates at E15.5 of mouse gestation

Project description:GWAS have identified hundreds of loci associated with height.However, determining causal mechanisms is challenging, especially since height-relevant tissues such as the growth plate are difficult to study. To discover mechanisms by which height GWAS variants function, we performed epigenetic profiling of murine femoral growth plates. The profiled open chromatin regions recapitulate known chondrocyte and skeletal biology and are enriched at height GWAS loci, particularly near differentially expressed growth plate genes. These regions are also enriched in binding motifs of transcription factors with known roles in chondrocyte biology. At specific loci, our analyses identified compelling mechanisms for GWAS variants. For example, at the CHYS1 locus, we identified a potentially causal variant overlapping an open chromatin region and predicted to alter binding of HOXD13, important for skeletal development. Thus, integrating biologically relevant epigenetic information (here, from mouse growth plate) with genetic association results can identify biological mechanisms important for human growth.

A Floor Plate Extracellular Protein-Protein Interaction Screen Identifies Draxin as a Secreted Netrin-1 Antagonist

Project description:Floor plate-derived extracellular signaling molecules, including canonical axon guidance cues of the Netrin family, control neuronal circuit organization. Despite the importance of the floor plate as an essential signaling centre in the developing vertebrate central nervous system, no systematic approach to identify binding partners for floor plate-expressed cellsurface and secreted proteins has been carried out. Here, we used a high-throughput assay to discover extracellular protein-protein interactions, which likely take place in the zebrafish floor plate microenvironment. The assembled floor plate network contains 47 interactions including the hitherto not reported interaction between Netrin-1 and Draxin. We further characterized this interaction, narrowed down the binding interface, and demonstrated that Draxin competes with Netrin receptors for binding to Netrin-1. Our results suggest that Draxin functions as an extracellular Netrin signaling modulator in vertebrates. A reciprocal gradient of Draxin might shape or sharpen the active Netrin gradient, thereby critically modulating its effect.

Gene transcription from the linear plasmid pBClin15 leads to cell lysis and extracellular DNA dependent aggregation of B. cereus ATCC 14579 in response to quinolone induced stress

Project description:Several members of the Bacillus cereus group of bacteria carry lysogenic phages of the family Tectiviridae. The Bacilus cereus reference strain (ATCC 14579) harbor a linear plasmid (pBClin15) that is highly similar to the genomes of the Tectiviruses. Production of active phages has however never been reported for pBClin15 and the role of pBClin15 in B. cereus physiology has been enigmatic. We have for the first time demonstrated an effect of pBClin15 on the physiology of B. cereus ATCC 14579 whereby the wild type is more sensitive to DNA damaging antibiotics compared to a pBClin15 cured strain. The microarray experiments in this study were designed to highlight transcriptional differences between the B. cereus ATCC 14579 wild type and a plasmid cured variant that potentially could explain the impact of pBClin15 on the B. cereus physiology. Microarray experiments were carried out under non-stressful conditions (growth in logarithmic phase in LB medium) under which there were no phenotypic difference between the wild type and pBClin15 cured strain as well as under stressful conditions under which there were phenotypic differences between the two strain (growth in LB medium supplemented with 0.5M-5g norfloxacin per ml).
