Two aldehyde clearance systems are essential to prevent lethal formaldehyde accumulation in mice and humans

ABSTRACT: Reactive aldehydes arise as by-products of metabolism, and are normally cleared by multiple families of enzymes. We find that mice lacking two aldehyde detoxifying enzymes, mitochondrial ALDH2 and cytoplasmic ADH5, have greatly shortened lifespans and develop leukemia. Hematopoiesis is profoundly disrupted, with a reduction of hematopoietic stem cells and also common lymphoid progenitors causing a severely depleted acquired immune system. We show that formaldehyde is the common substrate of ALDH2 and ADH5, and establish methods to quantify elevated blood formaldehyde and formaldehyde-DNA adducts in tissues. Bone marrow derived progenitors actively engage DNA repair but also imprint a formaldehyde-driven mutation signature similar to ageing-associated human cancer mutation signatures. Furthermore, we identify analogous genetic defects in children causing a new inherited bone marrow failure and pre-leukemic syndrome. Endogenous formaldehyde clearance alone is therefore critical for hematopoiesis and in limiting mutagenesis in somatic tissues.

Genotoxic aldehyde stress prematurely ages hematopoietic stem cells in a p53-driven manner

Project description:Aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) display diminished self-renewal and a myeloid differentiation bias. However, the physiological drivers and molecular processes that underpin this fundamental switch are not understood. HSCs produce formaldehyde and are protected from this metabolite by two tiers of protection: the detoxification enzymes ALDH2 and ADH5 and the Fanconi anemia (FA) DNA repair pathway. Using single cell RNA sequencing, we find that the HSC and progenitor cells in young Aldh2-/- Fancd2-/- mice harbor a transcriptomic signature equivalent to aged wild-type HSCs, along with increased epigenetic age, telomere attrition and myeloid-biased progenitors. In addition, the p53 response is vigorously activated in Aldh2-/- Fancd2-/- HSCs, whilst p53 deletion rescued this aged transcriptomic signature and telomere attrition. Transplantation of single Aldh2-/- Fancd2-/- HSCs also reveals a predominantly myeloid output, which is reversed upon p53 deletion. To further define the origins of the myeloid differentiation bias, a GFP genetic reporter which detects Vwf+ myeloid primed HSCs was crossed into Aldh2-/- Fancd2-/- mice, revealing a striking enrichment of these lineage-biased Vwf+ HSCs. These results indicate that metabolism derived formaldehyde causes endogenous DNA damage which stimulates the p53 response in HSCs, which then accelerates their aging, resulting in a myeloid lineage biased output.

Molecular mechanism underlying increased ischemic damage in the ALDH2*2 genetic polymorphism using a human iPSC model system

Project description:We investigated the ALDH2*2 genetic polymorphism and its underlying mechanisms for the first time in a human model system of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) generated from individuals carrying the most common heterozygous form of the ALDH2*2 genotype. We showed that the ALDH2*2 mutation confers elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and toxic aldehydes such as 4HNE, thereby inducing cell cycle arrest and activation of apoptotic signaling pathways, especially during ischemic injury. ALDH2 exerts control of cell survival decisions via modulation of oxidative stress levels. This regulatory circuitry was found to be dysfunctional in the loss-of-function ALDH2*2 genotype, causing upregulation of apoptosis in cardiomyocytes following ischemic insult. These results reveal a novel function of the metabolic enzyme ALDH2 in modulation of cell survival decisions. Molecular mechanism of increased ischemic damage in cardiomyocytes of ALDH2*2 genotype.

Proteomic analysis of mitochondria isolated from the frontal cortex and hippocampus of apolipoprotein E knockout mice treated with Alda-1, an activator of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2)

Project description:Recently, it has been shown that mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress play important roles in the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration. Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2), an enzyme responsible for the detoxification of reactive aldehydes – the end products of lipid peroxidation, is considered to exert protective function in mitochondria. The aim of our study was to use the methods of differential proteomics in concert with molecular and morphological techniques to elucidate the changes in the frontal cortex and hippocampus of apolipoprotein E knockout (apoE-/-) mice (an animal model of the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease) upon treatment with Alda-1 – a small molecular weight activator of ALDH2.

Aldehyde exposure unmasks genome instability in cells heterozygous for clinically relevant BRCA2 mutations

Project description:Abnormalities provoked in human cells heterozygous for clinically relevant truncating mutations in BRCA2 by their exposure to naturally occurring aldehydes define a mechanism promoting carcinogenesis in mutation carriers. The ubiquitous metabolite and environmental toxin, formaldehyde, triggers replication fork instability and structural chromosomal aberrations in BRCA2 heterozygous cells. These abnormalities arise from a previously unrecognized effect of formaldehyde to selectively induce the proteasomal degradation of BRCA2, inducing functional haploinsufficiency only in cells where BRCA2 expression is already compromised by a heterozygous mutation. Similar effects are observed with acetaldehyde, a toxic product of alcohol catabolism. Replication fork instability and chromosomal aberrations in aldehyde-exposed cells arise from the unscheduled accumulation of RNA-DNA hybrids, revealing a mechanism driving genomic instability in BRCA2 heterozygous cells. We propose a model for cancer pathogenesis in which aldehyde exposure unmasks the carcinogenic potential of heterozygous BRCA2 mutations, with public health implications in mutation carriers.

Transcriptional silencing of ALDH2 confers a dependency on Fanconi anemia proteins in acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:With domain focused CRISPR screen, we revealed Fanconi anemia (FA) proteins UBE2T (an E2) and FANCL (an E3) as unique dependencies in AML. We demonstrate that these dependencies are due to a synthetic lethal interaction between FA proteins and Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), which function in parallel pathways to counteract the genotoxic effects of endogenous aldehydes. We provide evidence that DNA hypermethylation and transcriptional silencing of ALDH2 occur in a recurrent manner in human AML patient samples, which is sufficient to confer FA pathway dependency in this disease. Taken together, our study suggests that targeting of the ubiquitination reaction catalyzed by FA proteins can eliminate ALDH2-deficient AML.

Aldh2 dependent formaldehyde metabolism fuels purine demands in melanocyte stem cells

Project description:In the McSC lineage in zebrafish, Aldh2 activity is an important source of formate through its metabolism of its substrate formaldehyde. This formate is required as input into the folate cycle, in particular de novo purine biosynthesis. This scRNA-seq experiment was conducted to investigate the global effects of Aldh2 inhibition on the transcriptomes of isolated McSCs.

Calprotectin promotes anemia of inflammation in healthy and pathological conditions

Project description:Elevated circulating levels of calprotectin (CAL), the S100A8/A9 heterodimer, are biomarkers of severe systemic inflammation. Here, we investigate the effects of CAL on early human hematopoiesis. CAL demonstrates limited impact on gene expression in stem and progenitor cells, in contrast with interleukin-6 (IL6) that promotes the expression of the S100A8 and S100A9 genes in hematopoietic progenitors and the generation of monocytes that release CAL. The main target of CAL is an erythroid-megakaryocyte progenitor (EMP) subset. CAL prevents both erythropoietin-driven differentiation of healthy progenitors and JAK2-V617F-driven erythropoiesis. In the context of JAK2-V617F, CAL also promotes the expression of S100A8 and S100A9 genes in monocytes. The signature of CAL effects is detected in the bone marrow progenitors of patients with myeloid malignancy or severe infection. These results position CAL as a mediator of IL6 effects on triggering anemia during inflammation, an effect that is amplified in the context of JAK2-V617F-driven hematopoiesis.
