Expression Of Amyloidogenic Transthyretin Drives Hepatic Proteostasis Remodeling In An Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Model Of Systemic Amyloid Disease

ABSTRACT: The systemic amyloidoses are diverse disorders in which misfolded proteins are secreted by effector organs and deposited as proteotoxic aggregates at downstream tissues. Although well-described clinically, the contribution of synthesizing organs to amyloid disease pathogenesis is unknown. Here, we utilize hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR amyloidosis) induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to define the contribution of HLCs to the proteotoxicity of secreted TTR. To this end, we generated isogenic, patient-specific iPSCs expressing either amyloidogenic or wild-type TTR. We subsequently differentiated these lines into HLCs and performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) via the Fluidigm C1 platform in an effort to identify a destabilized TTR-derived disease signature. Upon doing so, we identified a number of hepatic proteostasis factors (e.g. the unfolded protein response, UPR, as well as known and novel chaperone genes) whose expression correlates with the production destabilized TTR production.

Transthyretin alters cardiac fibroblast structure, function and inflammatory gene expression.

Project description:Age-related wild type transthyretin amyloidosis (wtATTR) is characterized by systemic deposition of amyloidogenic fibrils of misfolded transthyretin (TTR) in the connective tissue of many organs. In the heart this leads to cardiac dysfunction, which is a significant cause of age-related heart failure. The hypothesis tested is that TTR affects cardiac fibroblasts in ways that may contribute to fibrosis. When primary cardiac fibroblasts were cultured on TTR-deposited substrates, the F-actin cytoskeleton disorganized, focal adhesion formation decreased, and nuclear shape was flattened. Fibroblasts had faster collective and single cell migration velocities on TTR-deposited substrates. Additionally, fibroblasts cultured on microposts with TTR deposition had reduced attachment and increased proliferation above untreated. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of fibroblasts grown on glass covered with TTR showed significant upregulation of inflammatory genes after 48 hours, indicative of progression in TTR-based diseases. Together, results suggest that TTR deposited in tissue extracellular matrix may affect both the structure, function and gene expression of cardiac fibroblasts. As therapies for wtATTR are cost-prohibitive and only slow disease progression, better understanding of cellular maladaptation may elucidate novel therapeutic targets.

Plasmin activity promotes amyloid deposition in a new transgenic model of human transthyretin amyloidosis.

Project description:We have developed a new mouse model of transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis using transgenic mice expressing the most fibrillogenic variant of TTR (S52P). Following seeding with amyloid fibrils, TTR amyloid is deposited mainly in the heart and tongue. The fibrils contain both full length and truncated (49-127) TTR. The presence of S52P TTR was confirmed by proteomics. Knockout of alpha2-antiplasmin enhanced amyloid deposition.

Is transthyretin a regulator of Ubc9 SUMOylation?

Project description:Ageing and mutations of transthyretin (TTR), the thyroid hormones and retinol transporting protein lead to amyloidosis by destabilizing the structure of TTR. Because protein structure is regulated through posttranslational modifications, we investigated the Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier (SUMO)ylation of TTR. We chose the widely used Ubc9 fusion-directed SUMOylation system, which is based on a fusion of the SUMOylation substrate of interest with Ubc9, a sole SUMO conjugating enzyme. Surprisingly, despite our presumptions, we found that Ubc9 fused to TTR was SUMOylated at a unique set of lysine residues. Three unknown SUMOylation sites of Ubc9—K154, K18 and K65—were revealed by mass spectrometry (MS). The previously reported SUMOylation at K49 of Ubc9 was also observed. SUMOylation of the lysine residues of TTR fused to Ubc9 was hardly detectable. However, non-fused TTR was SUMOylated via trans-SUMOylation by Ubc9 fused to TTR. Interestingly, mutating the catalytic residue of Ubc9 fused to TTR did not result in complete loss of the SUMOylation signal, suggesting that Ubc9 linked to TTR is directly cross-SUMOylated by the SUMO-activating enzyme E1. Ubc9, TTR or fusion proteins composed of TTR and Ubc9 specifically affected the global SUMOylation of cellular proteins. TTR or Ubc9 alone increased global SUMOylation, whereas TTR and Ubc9 together decreased the amount of high-molecular weight (HMW) SUMO conjugates. Our data suggest that TTR may influence the SUMOylation of Ubc9, thereby altering signalling pathways in the cell.

Prevalence of transthyretin amyloidosis in patients with heart failure and no left ventricular hypertrophy

Project description:The study prospectively enrolled patients admitted for HF with LV ejection fraction (LVEF) Ã¢Â‰Â¥ 50% and LV wall thickness <12 mm. TTR cardiac amyloidosis was diagnosed according to accepted criteria, which include positive cardiac 99-Tc-DPD scintigraphy in the absence of monoclonal protein expansion in blood. In a cohort of patients with HFpEF without LVH, the prevalence of TTR cardiac amyloidosis was 5%. Transthyretin gene sequencing was performed in positive patients.

Transthyretin orchestrates vitamin B12-induced stress resilience

Project description:Background: Chronic stress significantly contributes to mood- and anxiety disorders. Previous data suggest a correlative connection between vitamin B12 supplementation, depression, and stress resilience. However, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. Methods: Using the chronic variable stress mouse model coupled with RNA-sequencing, we determined vitamin B12-induced transcriptional changes related to stress resilience. By viral-mediated gene transfer and in vivo epigenome editing, we reveal a functional pathway linking vitamin B12, DNA methylation, and depressive-like symptoms. Results: We identified Transthyretin (Ttr) as a sex-specific key target of vitamin B12 action in chronic stress. Accordingly, TTR expression was increased postmortem in the prefrontal cortex of male, but not female, depressed patients. Virally altered Ttr in the prefrontal cortex functionally contributed to stress- and depression-related behaviors, changes in dendritic spine morphology, and gene expression. In stressed mice, vitamin B12 reduced DNAme in the Ttr promoter region. Importantly, using in vivo epigenome editing to alter DNAme in the brains of living mice for the first time, we establish a direct causal link between DNAme on Ttr and stress-associated behaviors. Discussion: In summary, using state-of-the-art techniques, this study uncovers a mechanistic link between cobalamin supplementation, Ttr, and markers of chronic stress and depression, encouraging further studies into dietary interventions for mood disorders.

Expression data from Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) exposed to WT and V30M transthyretin (TTR)

Project description:The biological effects of TTR proteins in the vasculature remain unknown. We used microarrays to detail the modulation of gene expression on HUVECs by V30M TTR when compared to cells exposed to WT TTR. HUVECs (passage 7) were cultured in the presence of WT or V30M TTR at 4M-BM-5M for 3 hours. RNA was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain differentially expressed genes modulated by V30M TTR protein.

Epigenomic profiles of African American Transthyretin Val122Ile carriers reveals putatively dysregulated amyloid mechanisms

Project description:The Val122Ile mutation in Transthyretin (TTR) gene causes a rare, difficult to diagnose hereditary form of cardiac amyloidosis. This mutation is most common in the United States and mainly present in people of African descent. The carriers have an increased risk of congestive heart failure, peripheral edema, and several other non-cardiac phenotypes such as carpal tunnel syndrome, and arthroplasty which are top reasons for ambulatory/outpatient surgeries in the country. We conducted first-ever epigenome-wide association study in Val122Ile carriers of African descent for heart disease (HD) and multiple outpatient surgeries (OS) - an early disease indicator. DNA was extracted from whole blood of Yale-Penn participants using the EZ-96 DNA methylation kit (Zymo Research, CA, USA). DNA methylation was assayed using the Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC chip quantifying >850,000 CpG sites and imaged on the Illumina iScan system at YCGA. The methylation intensity data (*.idat files) was exported for analysis using the manufacturer's recommended protocol using the GenomeStudio methylation module.
