Overexpression of human BAG3P209L in mice causes restrictive cardiomyopathy due to sarcomere disruption and protein aggregate formation

ABSTRACT: An amino acid exchange (P209L) in the HSPB8 binding site of the human cochaperone Bcl2-associated athanogene 3 (BAG3) gives rise to severe dominant childhood cardiomyopathy. To phenocopy the human disease in mouse and gain insight into its mechanisms, we have generated humanized transgenic mouse models. Expression of human BAG3P209L-eGFP in mice caused Z-disc disintegration and formation of protein aggregates. This was accompanied by massive fibrosis resulting in a severe, early-onset restrictive cardiomyopathy with increased mortality, as observed in patients. RNA-Seq and proteomic analysis revealed changes in the protein quality control system and increased autophagy in hearts from hBAG3P209L-eGFP overexpressing mice. Also, the mutation renders hBAG3P209L less soluble in vivo and induces protein aggregation, but does not abrogate hBAG3 binding properties. Thus, we have established a mouse model recapitulating mimicing the human disease and found that the disease mechanism is due to accumulation of hBAG3P209L and mouse BAG3, causing sequestering of components of the protein quality control system and the autophagy machinery leading to the reduction of the stability and functional organization of sarcomeres. We have also tested a gene therapy approach utilizing expression of shRNA against hBAG3 in cardiac muscle via AAV and demonstrate that this halted and even partially reversed major phenotypic features of the disease.

Overexpression of the human mutation P209L of cochaperone BAG3 in mouse

Project description:An amino acid exchange (P209L) in the HSPB8 binding site of the human cochaperone Bcl2-associated athanogene 3 (BAG3) gives rise to severe dominant childhood cardiomyopathy. To phenocopy the disease in mouse and gain insight into its mechanisms, we have generated humanized transgenic mouse models. Expression of human BAG3P209L-eGFP in mice caused Z-disc disintegration and formation of protein aggregates containing BAG3, components of the Z-disc, and the protein quality control system in cardiomyocytes. This was accompanied by massive fibrosis resulting in a severe, early-onset restrictive cardiomyopathy with increased mortality, as observed in patients. Here we present the shotgun proteome data of mice expressing hBAG3P209L-eGFP compared to control.

Identification of genes involved in the cell growth arrest by knockout of BAG3 in human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells

Project description:BAG3 (BCL2-associated athanogene 3) is a member of the BAG protein family. BAG3 affects a wide variety of cellular events including cell proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy. Recently our data demonstrated that knockout (KO) of BAG3 induces the cell growth arrest in human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells. In the present study, to identify genes involved in the cell growth arrest by BAG3-KO in HeLa cells, global-scale gene expression analysis was carried out using a GeneChip® system.

Chronic intermittent autophagy inhibition ameliorates Bag3-dependent cardiomyopathy

Project description:Mutations in the Hsp70 co-chaperone Bcl2-associated athanogene 3 (Bag3) result in myofibrillar myopathy and pediatric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (pHCM) in human patients, but the pathological mechanisms underlying Bag3 dysfunction in the developing heart have remained unclear. Here we show that conditional ablation of Bag3 in cardiomyocytes (CMs) results in progressive cardiomyopathy accompanied by increased autophagic flux and autophagosome accumulation in the early post-natal period. Autophagy inhibition via acute administration of chloroquine (CQ) results in transient accumulation of cardiac proteins in the detergent-insoluble fraction, implying a role for autophagy in the degradation of unfolded proteins in the absence of Bag3 co-chaperone activity. Exacerbated autophagy in Bag3 deficient CMs leads to decreased soluble levels of proteins involved in cardiac contraction and conduction, including the gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43). Importantly, chronic CQ treatment during the early post-natal period results in a significant amelioration of the pathological phenotype, with recovered contractile performances and restoration of soluble levels of autophagy-targeted proteins. We therefore conclude that loss of Bag3 in CMs leads to autophagic flux exacerbation and that CQ treatment is relevant to therapeutic strategies for Bag3-dependent pHCM patients.

Transcriptomic analysis of HDAC6-selective and broad HDAC inhibitors in human WT iPSC cardiomyocytes

Project description:Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by reduced cardiac output, as well as thinning and enlargement of left ventricular chambers. These characteristics eventually lead to heart failure. Current standards of care do not target the underlying molecular mechanisms associated with genetic forms of heart failure, driving a need to develop novel therapeutics for DCM. To identify candidate therapeutics, we developed an in vitro DCM model using induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) deficient in BCL2-associated athanogene 3 (BAG3). With these BAG3-deficient iPSC-CMs, we identified cardioprotective drugs with a phenotypic screen and deep learning. Using a library of 5500 bioactive compounds and siRNA validation, we identified that inhibiting histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) was cardioprotective at the sarcomere level. We translated this finding to a BAG3 cardiac-knockout (BAG3cKO) mouse model of DCM, showing that inhibiting HDAC6 with two isoform-selective inhibitors (tubastatin A and a novel inhibitor TYA-018) protected heart function. In BAG3cKO and BAG3 E455K mice, HDAC6 inhibitors improved left ventricular ejection fraction and reduced left ventricular diameter at diastole and systole. We also found that HDAC6 inhibitors protected the microtubule network from mechanical damage, increased autophagic flux, decreased apoptosis, and reduced inflammation in the heart. Our results demonstrate the power of combining iPSC-CMs with phenotypic screening and deep learning to accelerate target and drug discovery, and they support the development of novel therapies that address underlying mechanisms associated with heart disease.

Identification of genes involved in enhancement of hyperthermia sensitivity by knockdown of BAG3 in human oral squamous cell carcinoma cells

Project description:Hyperthermia (HT) treatments in combination with either chemotherapy, radiotherapy or both are used for patients with cancer in various organs. However, the acquisition of thermotolerance in cancer cells due to the increase in cytoprotective proteins attenuates the therapeutic effects of HT. BAG3 (BCL2-associated athanogene 3) is a cytoprotective protein that acts against various stresses including heat stress. Recently, we demonstrated that the inhibition of BAG3 improves cell death sensitivity to HT in cancer cells. However, a detailed molecular mechanism involved in the enhancement of HT sensitivity by BAG3-knockdown (KD) in cancer cells is unclear. In this study, to identify genes involved in the enhancement of HT sensitivity by BAG3-knockdown (KD) in cancer cells, global-scale gene expression analysis was carried out using a GeneChipÂ® system. Human oral squamous carcinoma cell HSC-3 cells were treated with a combination of HT (at 44Â°C for 90 min) and siRNA for BAG3 or luciferase. Total RNA samples were prepared from the cells, and quality of the RNA was analyzed using a Bioanalyzer 2100. Gene expression was analyzed by an Affymetrix GeneChipÂ® system with a Human Genome U133-plus 2.0 array. Sample preparation for array hybridization was carried out as described in the manufacturerâs instructions.

Cardiac fibroblast BAG3 regulates TGFBR2 signaling and fibrosis in dilated cardiomyopathy

Project description:Loss of Bcl2-associated anthanogene 3 (BAG3) is associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Recent studies show that BAG3 regulates sarcomere protein turnover in cardiomyocytes (CMs). However, the function of BAG3 in other cell types of the heart is unknown. In this study, we used an isogenic pair of BAG3 knockout and wild-type human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) to interrogate the function of BAG3 in hiPSC-derived cardiac fibroblasts (CFs). Generating a series of conditional knockout (cKO) engineered heart tissues, we determined the contribution of CF BAG3 to engineered heart tissue function. Despite normal CM genotype, the loss of fibroblast-specific BAG3 (FBKO) caused a reduction in contractile force and an increase in cardiac fibrosis in the engineered heart tissues, recapitulating the phenotype of DCM. Using culture substrates with defined stiffness, we decoupled the mechanical activation of fibroblasts from their ligand response. In BAG3-/- CFs, we observed an increased sensitivity to transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling and activation of a fibrogenic response when cultured at physiological stiffness (8kPa). Mechanistically, loss of BAG3 increased transforming growth factor receptor 2 (TGFBR2) levels. BAG3 binds TGFBR2 and mediates its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. To further validate these results, we performed single-nuclei sequencing of cardiac tissue from DCM patients carrying pathogenic BAG3 mutations. Mutations in BAG3 increased fibrotic gene expression in cardiac fibroblasts. Together, these results extend our understanding of the roles of BAG3 in heart disease beyond the cardiomyocyte-centric view. This study also highlights the ability of hiPSC-based models and tissue engineering to answer questions about the cell-type specific aspects of cardiac disease.

Bag3-P209L RNA Seq Project

Project description:Cardiac-specific Bag3-P209L transgenic (Tg+) mice develop dilated cardiomyopathy by 12 months of age. The goals of this project are to utilize RNA-sequencing to compare both cardiomyocyte and cardiac fibroblast transcriptomes between aged Bag3-P209L Tg+ and Bag3-WT mice to identify cardiomyocyte and fibroblast specific gene sets that contribute to the functional and morphological changes previously identified in Bag3-P209L Tg+ hearts.

High-throughput ectopic expression screen for tamoxifen resistance

Project description:Resistance to tamoxifen in breast cancer patients is a serious therapeutic problem and major efforts are underway to understand underlying mechanisms. Resistance can be either intrinsic or acquired. We derived a series of subcloned MCF7 cell lines that were either highly sensitive or naturally resistant to tamoxifen and studied the factors that lead to drug resistance. Gene-expression studies revealed a signature of 67 genes that differentially respond to tamoxifen in sensitive vs. resistant subclones, which also predicts disease-free survival in tamoxifen-treated patients. High-throughput cell-based screens, in which >500 human kinases were independently ectopically expressed, identified 31 kinases that conferred drug resistance on sensitive cells. One of these, HSPB8, was also in the expression signature and, by itself, predicted poor clinical outcome in one cohort of patients. Further studies revealed that HSPB8 protected MCF7 cells from tamoxifen and blocked autophagy. Moreover, silencing HSBP8 induced autophagy and caused cell death. Tamoxifen itself induced autophagy in sensitive cells but not in resistant ones, and tamoxifen-resistant cells were sensitive to the induction of autophagy by other drugs. These results may point to an important role for autophagy in the sensitivity to tamoxifen.
