Combined RNAinterfering and gene therapy targeting MFN2 for the treatment of Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2A

ABSTRACT: Mitofusin-2 (MFN2) is an outer mitochondrial membrane protein essential for mitochondrial networking in most cells. Autosomal dominant mutations in the MFN2 gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2A disease (CMT2A), a severe and disabling sensory-motor neuropathy with impact on the entire nervous system. To date, no curative treatment is available. In the paper we propose a novel therapeutic strategy tailored to correct the root genetic defect of CMT2A. In our approach, while mutant and wild-type MFN2 mRNA are inhibited by RNA interference (RNAi), the wild-type protein is restored by overexpressing a cDNA encoding a functional MFN2, modified to be resistant to RNAi. This strategy allows proper MFN2 molecular correction in vivo in the MitoCharc1 CMT2A transgenic mouse model after cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) delivery of the constructs via adenoassociated virus 9 (AAV9) in newborn mice. To identify the therapeutic molecular mechanisms and the pathway that are modulated, we have compared the bulk RNA expression profile of spinal cord from one month old wild type (WT) mice and MitoCharc1 transgenic mice (B6;D2-Tg(Eno2-MFN2*R94Q)L51Ugfm/J) which encode the mutant human MFN2*R94Q under the neuron specific rat enolase (Eno2) promoter, as potential mouse model to test the therapeutic approach. We performed gene expression profiling analysis using data (RNA-seq) obtained from 4 wild type mice and 8 MitoCharch1 transgenic mice at one time point.

Expression data from a Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1B neuropathy mouse model

Project description:We have generated mouse models of real CMT1B mutations in the gene encoding for myelin protein zero (P0). One of these mutants, P0S63del is retained in the ER where it elicits an unfolded protein response (UPR). Genetic ablation of the UPR factor CHOP restores the motor capacity in S63del mice. We used microarray to decipher the molecular mechanism undelying the P0S63del neuropathy and the rescue in S63del/Chop null nerves. Sciatic nerves were dissected from WT, S63del, Chop null and S63del/Chop null mice at three different time points: (i) postnatal day 5 (P5) when myelination has just started and only the primary effects of the presence of the mutant protein should be detected; (ii) P28, around the peak of myelination, when all the downstream targets of CHOP should be activated; and (iii) 4 months, to check for secondary effects of the disease and because this was the time-point when the motor and morphological rescue due to the ablation of CHOP were clearly detectable.

Transcriptional dysregulation by a nucleus-localized aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase is associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy

Project description:Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a length-dependent peripheral neuropathy. The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases constitute the largest protein family implicated in CMT. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are predominantly cytoplasmic, but are also present in the nucleus. Here we show that a nuclear function of tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (TyrRS) is implicated in a Drosophila model of CMT. CMT-causing mutations in TyrRS induce unique conformational changes, which confer capacity for aberrant interactions with transcriptional regulators in the nucleus, leading to transcription factor E2F1 hyperactivation. Using neuronal tissues, we reveal a broad transcriptional regulation network associated with wild-type TyrRS expression, which is disturbed when a CMT-mutant is expressed. Pharmacological inhibition of TyrRS nuclear entry with embelin reduces, whereas genetic nuclear exclusion of mutant TyrRS prevents hallmark phenotypes of CMT in the Drosophila model. These data highlight that this translation factor may contribute to transcriptional regulation in neurons, and suggest a therapeutic target for CMT.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

Project description:Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders presenting with the phenotype of a chronic progressive neuropathy affecting both the motor and sensory nerves. During the last decade over two dozen genes have been identified in which mutations cause CMT. The disease illustrates a multitude of genetic principles, including diverse mutational mechanisms from point mutations to copy number variation (CNV), allelic heterogeneity, age-dependent penetrance and variable expressivity. Population based studies have determined the contributions of the various genes to disease burden enabling evidence-based approaches to genetic testing.

Intermediate Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

Project description:Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a common neurogenetic disorder and its heterogeneity is a challenge for genetic diagnostics. The genetic diagnostic procedures for a CMT patient can be explored according to the electrophysiological criteria: very slow motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) (<15 m/s), slow MNCV (15-25 m/s), intermediate MNCV (25-45 m/s), and normal MNCV (>45 m/s). Based on the inheritance pattern, intermediate CMT can be divided into dominant (DI-CMT) and recessive types (RI-CMT). GJB1 is currently considered to be associated with X-linked DI-CMT, and MPZ, INF2, DNM2, YARS, GNB4, NEFL, and MFN2 are associated with autosomal DI-CMT. Moreover, GDAP1, KARS, and PLEKHG5 are associated with RI-CMT. Identification of these genes is not only important for patients and families but also provides new information about pathogenesis. It is hoped that this review will lead to a better understanding of intermediate CMT and provide a detailed diagnostic procedure for intermediate CMT.
