Genetically programmed alternative splicing of NEMO mediates an autoinflammatory disease phenotype


ABSTRACT: Host defense and inflammation are regulated by the NF-kB essential modulator (NEMO), a scaffolding protein with a broad immune cell and tissue expression profile. Hypomorphic mutations in inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B kinase regulatory subunit gamma (IKBKG) encoding NEMO typically present with immunodeficiency. Here we characterized a novel pediatric autoinflammatory syndrome in 3 unrelated male patients with distinct X-linked IKBKG germ-line mutations that led to overexpression of a NEMO protein isoform lacking the domain encoded by exon 5 (NEMO-Dex5). This isoform failed to associate with TANK binding kinase 1 (TBK1), and dermal fibroblasts from affected patients activated NF-kB in response to TNF, but not TLR3 or RIG-I-like-receptor (RLR) stimulation when isoform levels were high. By contrast, T cells, monocytes and macrophages that expressed NEMO-Dex5 exhibited increased NF-kB activation and IFN production, and blood cells from these patients expressed a strong interferon and NF-kB transcriptional signature. Immune cells and TNF-stimulated dermal fibroblasts upregulated the inducible IKK protein (IKKi) that was stabilized by NEMO-Dex5, promoting type I IFN induction and antiviral responses. These data reveal how IKBKG mutations that lead to alternative splicing of skipping exon 5 cause a clinical phenotype we name NEMO Deleted exon 5 Autoinflammatory Syndrome (NDAS), distinct from the immunodeficiency syndrome resulting from loss-of-function IKBKG mutations.
