Ablation of collagen XII disturbs joint extracellular matrix organization and causes patellar subluxation

ABSTRACT: Collagen XII, belonging to the fibril-associated collagens, is a homotrimeric secreted extracellular matrix (ECM) protein encoded by the COL12A1 gene. Mutations in the human COL12A1 gene cause an Ehlers-Danlos/myopathy overlap syndrome leading to skeletal abnormalities and muscle weakness. Here, we studied the role of collagen XII in joint pathophysiology by analyzing collagen XII deficient mice and human patients. We found that collagen XII is widely expressed across multiple connective tissue of the developing joint. Lack of collagen XII in mice destabilizes tendons and the femoral trochlear groove to induce patellar subluxation in the patellofemoral joint. These changes are associated with an ECM damage response in tendon and secondary quadriceps muscle degeneration. Moreover, patellar subluxation was also identified as a clinical feature of human patients with collagen XII deficiency. The results provide an explanation for joint hyperlaxity in mice and human patients with collagen XII deficiency.

Comparative therapeutic strategies for preventing aortic rupture in a mouse model of vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

Project description:Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a rare inherited disorder caused by genetic variants in type III collagen. Its prognosis is especially hampered by unpredictable arterial ruptures and there is no therapeutic consensus. We created a knock-in Col3a1+/G182R mouse model and performed a complete genetic, molecular and biochemical characterization. Several therapeutic strategies were also tested. Col3a1+/G182R mice showed a spontaneous mortality caused by thoracic aortic rupture that recapitulates the vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome with a lower survival rate in males, thin non-inflammatory arteries and an altered arterial collagen. Transcriptomic analysis of aortas showed upregulation of genes related to inflammation and cell stress response. Compared to water, survival rate of Col3a1+/G182R mice was not affected by beta-blockers (propranolol or celiprolol). Two other vasodilating anti-hypertensive agents (hydralazine, amlodipine) gave opposite results on aortic rupture and mortality rate. There was a spectacular beneficial effect of losartan, reversed by the cessation of its administration, and a marked deleterious effect of exogenous angiotensin II. These results suggest that blockade of the renin angiotensin system should be tested as a first-line medical therapy in patients with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Modulating the Extracellular Matrix to Treat Wound Healing Defects in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Project description:Classic Ehlers Danlos syndrome (cEDS) is one of the most common genetic disorders of the connective tissue and musculoskeletal system characterized by mutations in genes encoding for type V collagen. Defects in wound healing constitute one of the most common and debilitating symptoms in individuals with cEDS but currently, no therapeutic strategies exist to attenuate wound healing defects in cEDS. We create a new murine model of cEDS, that remarkably phenocopies wound healing defects in human cEDS. Using this model, we show that an abnormal extracellular matrix (ECM) characterized by fibrillar disarray, altered mechanical properties and decreased collagen deposition contribute to the wound healing defect in cEDS. The cEDS animals exhibit decreased expression of epidermal genes and increased inflammation consistent with the human phenotype. We show that integrin expression is altered in wounds of cEDS animals and small molecule modulators of mechanosensitive integrin signaling attenuate wound healing defects. Finally, we demonstrate that rescuing extracellular matrix defects by injecting wild type fibroblasts into wounds of cEDS animals significantly enhances epidermal gene expression, decreases inflammation, augments wound closure and rescues defective wound repair. Taken together, these observations suggest that modulation of the extracellular matrix in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome either with small molecule inhibitors of mechanosensitive integrin signaling, or direct injection of wild type fibroblasts into the wound bed may have therapeutic potential for enhancing wound healing in cEDS.

The Tsk2/+ mouse fibrotic phenotype is due to a gain-of-function mutation in the PIIINP segment of the Col3a1 gene

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a polygenic, autoimmune disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, vascular alterations, and autoantibodies. The tight skin (Tsk)2/+ mouse model of SSc demonstrates signs similar to SSc including tight skin and excessive deposition of dermal ECM proteins. By linkage analysis, we mapped the Tsk2 gene mutation to less than 3 megabases on chromosome 1. We performed both RNA sequencing of skin transcripts and genome capture DNA sequencing of the region spanning this interval in Tsk2/+ and wild-type littermates. A missense point mutation in the procollagen III amino terminal propeptide segment (PIIINP) of Col3a1 was found to be the best candidate for Tsk2, so both in vivo and in vitro genetic complementation tests were used to prove that this Col3a1 mutation is the Tsk2 gene. All previously documented mutations in the human Col3a1 gene are associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that leads to a defect in type III collagen synthesis. The Tsk2 point mutation is the first documented gain-of-function mutation associated with Col3a1, which leads instead to fibrosis. This discovery provides insight into the mechanism of skin fibrosis manifested by Tsk2/+ mice. For the transfection experiment, three Col3a1 knockout fibroblast transfected with WT Col3a1 samples and three Col3a1 knockout fibroblast transfected with Tsk2 Col3a1 samples were used. For the 4-week female, three WT mice and three Tsk2 total skin RNA were used.

Human-Specific Elimination of Epithelial Siglec-XII Suppresses the Risk of CRC Initiation and Progression [CACO]

Project description:Human-specific changes in specific Siglecs is one of the reasons put forth as molecular mechanisms that could explain human proneness to developing cancers. The SIGLEC12 gene, which encodes the Siglec-XII protein mainly found on epithelial cells, has a fixed homozygous missense mutation in a critical arginine renders unable to recognize its natural ligand. Additionally, the gene harbors a polymorphic frameshift mutation that eliminates expression of the full-length protein in most humans. We hypothesized that dysfunctional Siglec-XII is involved in cancer progression in humans' epithelia. Here we report that the forced expression of human Siglec-XII in caco-2 cells showed that differentially expressed genes in Siglec-XII cells were enriched for diverse bioenergetic processes.

Transcriptome profiles of monocytes of Periodontal Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome patients

Project description:Periodontal Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (pEDS) is a rare, distinct hereditary disorder characterized by early onset periodontal destruction, tissue fragility and joint hypermobility. pEDS is caused by mutant variants of C1R (and C1S) genes, which encode the C1s (and C1s) subunits of the first component of the classical complement pathway. Abberant serine protease activation will result in C4 cleavage and local complement cascade activation, as well as other possible consequences. Although multiple studies have investigated the genetic variant analysis of pEDS, the transcriptome profiles of pEDS remain unknown. To better understand the pathomechanism underlying the clinical manifestation of pEDS and to identify novel molecular targets that may expand treatment strategies, our study performed transcriptome profiling by RNA sequencing of patient-derived monocytes from 2 pEDS patients and 3 normal controls. Genes related to periodontal host defense, inflammatory response, skin disease and vascular development were significantly enriched. Furthermore, we identified genes that may be involved in the pathogenesis of periodontal destruction and pretibial pigmentation of pEDS. Overall, our study presents the first pEDS transcriptomics data, revealing distinct molecular features in monocytes of periodontal Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, and serves as a tool to better understand the disease.

Human-Specific Elimination of Epithelial Siglec-XII Suppresses the Risk of CRC Initiation and Progression [ENDPOINT]

Project description:Human-specific changes in specific Siglecs is one of the reasons put forth as molecular mechanisms that could explain human proneness to developing cancers. The SIGLEC12 gene, which encodes the Siglec-XII protein mainly found on epithelial cells, has a fixed homozygous missense mutation in a critical arginine renders unable to recognize its natural ligand. Additionally, the gene harbors a polymorphic frameshift mutation that eliminates expression of the full-length protein in most humans. We hypothesized that dysfunctional Siglec-XII is involved in cancer progression in humans' epithelia. Here we report that the transgenic conditional expression of human Siglec-XII in mouse intestinal epithelia increased the number and size of cancers in a model of colitis-associated colorectal carcinoma (AOM/DSS). RNA sequencing of the colons at baseline and after AOM/DSS challenge derived a gene signature comprised of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between controls (Villin1-Cre-ER(T2)) and Siglec-XII-expressing mice, showing that upregulated DEGs in Siglec-XII mice were enriched for diverse bioenergetic processes.
