AGAL misprocessing-induced ER stress and the unfolded protein response: lysosomal storage-independent mechanism of Fabry disease pathogenesis?

ABSTRACT: Classic Fabry disease (FD) is caused by GLA mutations that result in enzymatic deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A (AGAL), lysosomal storage of globotriaosylceramide, and a resulting multisystemic disease. In non-classic later-onset FD, patients have some preserved AGAL activity and a milder disease course, though female carriers may also be affected. While FD pathogenesis has been mostly attributed to catalytic deficiency of mutated AGAL, lysosomal storage and impairment of lysosomal functions, other pathogenic factors may be important, especially in non-classic later-onset FD. Clinical findings in affected males revealed a milder clinical course with ~15% residual AGAL activity and borderline plasma lyso-Gb3Cer levels. Kidney biopsies did not show lysosomal storage. Laboratory investigations documented intracellular retention of mutated AGAL with resulting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR), which were alleviated with BRD4780, a small molecule clearing misfolded proteins from the early secretory compartment. We observed similar findings of ER stress and UPR with several other classic and non-classic FD missense AGAL variants. We identified defective proteostasis of mutated AGAL resulting in chronic ER stress and UPR of AGAL expressing cells (hereafter referred to as AGALopathy) as an important contributor to FD pathogenesis. These findings provide insight into non-classic later-onset FD and may better explain clinical manifestations with implications for pathogenesis, clinical characterization and treatment of all FD forms.

Skeletal muscle gene expression in the wild type and the GAA knock-out mice, a model of Pompe disease

Project description:Pompe disease is a Lysosomal glycogen storage disorder due to the deficiency of acid alpha glucosidase. The enzyme degrades glycogen to glucose and its deficiency results in progressive enlargement of glycogen-filled lysosomes in multiple tissues with skeletal and cardiac muscle most severely affected clinically. Clinical spectrum ranges from most severe infantile cardiomegally and skeletal muscle myopathy to milder late onset forms with only skeletal muscle pathology. The currently available enzyme replacement therapy has only limited effect in skeletal muscle. Here we use RNA sequencing of therapy-resistant skeletal muscle (white part of gastrocnemius muscle) to identify the differencies between the diseased and healthy muscle. Total RNA was obtained from gastrocnemius muscle (white part) of acid alpha glucosidase knock-out and wild-type mice.

Characterization of Plasma Proteomic Profile in Fabry Disease: Potential gender- and clinical phenotype-specific Biomarkers

Project description:Fabry disease (FD) is a rare metabolic disorder of X-linked lysosomal storage caused by mutations of the GLA gene that induce a deficiency in the activity of the enzyme α-galactosidase A (α-GalA). This deficiency leads to the lysosomal accumulation of globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-GB3), resulting in multisystem involvement. Clinical heterogeneity, frequent inconclusive results in biochemical and genetic tests, and the lack of compensation between these markers and clinical evolution often represent a significant challenge in early diagnosis and in the evolutionary prediction of the disease. For this reason, we propose as the study's main objective the identification of new biomarkers of FD that help to understand in depth the disease’s pathophysiology and biomarkers that help to predict the clinical phenotype of the disease. For this purpose, we compared the plasma from 50 patients with FD and 50 healthy controls, matched by sex and age, by a quantitative mass spectrometry study (SWATH-MS). This study has managed to identify more than 30 proteins significantly differentially expressed between patients with FD and healthy controls, also stratifying the results according to sex. Furthermore, the comparative analysis between the predominant clinical phenotypes identifies differential proteomic profiles between the clinical manifestations. These results will help to deepen and discuss the presence of potential biomarkers that will increase the pathophysiological knowledge of FD and the heterogeneity in the presentation of clinical manifestations.

Mitochondrial stress in GLA mutants Zebrafish is independent of globotriaosylceramide accumulation

Project description:Fabry disease (FD) is a hereditary lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in GLA gene resulting in reduction or lack of α-galactosidase A activity. In humans, enzymatic deficiency leads to accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and other glycosphingolipids in lysosomes. Current therapies focus on reversing Gb3 accumulation but fail to restore altered cellular signaling in the long run. Zebrafish (ZF) lacks Alpha 1,4-Galactosyltransferase (A4GALT) gene and cannot synthesize Gb3 or lysoGb3. We used previously generated GLA-mutant ZF model to investigate Gb3-accumulation-independent alterations by untargeted proteomics analysis of renal tissues. We observed lysosomal and mitochondrial-related pathways disfunction, higher oxidative stress, as indicated by GSH/GSSH and MDA levels, and higher antioxidant activity in mutant ZF. Moreover, mitochondrial morphological alterations also affecting cristae structure were evident. By immunohistochemistry, we also detected decreased lysosomal Tetraspanin (CD63), Superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), and Cadherin 1 (CDH1) protein expression. Thus, this ZF model Gb3-independently mirrors GLA mutation-related changes, and unravels novel FD pathogenic mechanisms, thereby representing a powerful tool for innovative drug screening, and the identification of markers of potential clinical relevance.

Expression data of rat insulinoma cells induced with ER stress +/- IRE1 inhibitor treatment

Project description:The Akita mutation (C96Y) in the insulin gene results in early onset diabetes in both humans and mice. Expression of the mutant proinsulin (C96Y) causes endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in pancreatic ?-cells and consequently the cell activates the unfolded protein response (UPR). Since the proinsulin is terminally misfolded however, the ER stress is irremediable and chronic activation of the UPR eventually activates apoptosis in the cell population. We used microarray gene expression arrays to analyze the IRE1-dependent activation of genes in response to misfolded proinsulin expression in an inducible mutant proinsulin (C96Y) insulinoma cell line by inhibiting the IRE1 endoribonucleas activity with a specific inhibitor, 4u8c. Insulinoma cells with doxycycline inducible C96Y-proinsulin expression were either untreated, treated with doxycycline alone or treated with dox and 4u8c. This was done with two biological replicates.

Lysosomal cystine export regulates mTORC1 signaling to guide kidney epithelial cell fate specialization (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Differentiation is critical for epithelial cell fate decisions, but the signals involved remain unclear. The kidney proximal tubule (PT) cells reabsorb disulphide-rich proteins through endocytosis, generating cystine via lysosomal proteolysis. Here we report that defective cystine mobilization from lysosomes through cystinosin (CTNS), which is mutated in cystinosis, diverts PT cells towards growth and proliferation, disrupting their functions. Mechanistically, lysosomal cystine storage stimulates Ragulator-Rag GTPase-dependent recruitment of mechanistic target of Rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and its constitutive activation. Re-introduction of CTNS restores nutrient-dependent regulation of mTORC1 in knockout cells, whereas cell-permeant analogues of L-cystine, accumulating within lysosomes, render wild-type cells resistant to nutrient withdrawal. Therapeutic mTORC1 inhibition corrects lysosome and differentiation downstream of cystine storage, and phenotypes in a zebrafish model of cystinosis. Thus, cystine serves as a lysosomal signal that tailors mTORC1 signaling and metabolism to direct epithelial cell fate decisions. These results identify mechanisms and therapeutic targets for dysregulated homeostasis in cystinosis.

Genome-wide CRISPR screen for ER stress-UPR pathway

Project description:Perturbation of tissue homeostasis accompanies a diversity of inflammatory pathologies and imposes metabolic constraints at the cellular level that elicit ER stress, protein misfolding, and cell death. In response to ER stress, cells initiate the unfolded protein response (UPR), which determines divergent cell fate decisions, either promoting recovery of ER proteostasis and cell survival or triggering programmed cell death. However, the mechanisms by which the UPR transitions from the adaptive to terminal state are not fully understood. To discover novel UPR pathway regulators that influence the outcome of cellular ER stress responses, we performed genome-scale genetic perturbations. Our genome-wide screens revealed that distinct sets of genes regulate UPR activity and maintenance of ER homeostasis. This expansive dataset provides a rich resource that can be leveraged to elucidate signaling crosstalk during ER stress and discover novel UPR regulators.

Transcription profiling of yeast expressing mouse major histocompatibility complex class I heavy chain H-2K(b)

Project description:To dissect the requirements of membrane protein degradation from the ER, we expressed the mouse major histocompatibility complex class I heavy chain H-2K(b) in yeast. Like other proteins degraded from the ER, unassembled H-2K(b) heavy chains are not transported to the Golgi but are degraded in a proteasome-dependent manner. The overexpression of H-2K(b) heavy chains induces the unfolded protein response (UPR). In yeast mutants unable to mount the UPR, H-2K(b) heavy chains are greatly stabilized. This defect in degradation is suppressed by the expression of the active form of Hac1p, the transcription factor that upregulates UPR-induced genes. These results indicate that induction of the UPR is required for the degradation of protein substrates from the ER.
