Project description:Gene expression data obtained from induced pluripotent stem cells derived from wild type fibroblasts (iPSc WT) and from Gaucher Disease type 2 fibroblasts (GD iPSc). Also, gene expression analysis from the initial fibroblasts was made (WT fibroblasts and GD- fibroblasts), as well as gene expression analysis from a human embryonic stem cell line (hES4). Two different iPSc cell lines derived from Gaucher Disease type 2 fibroblasts were analysed in order to be compared to iPSc derived from Wild Type fibroblasts (only one cell line) and human embryonic stem cells (only one cell line). The initial cells: two different wild type fibroblasts and one Gaucher disease type 2 fibroblasts were also analysed.

Project description:Gaucher disease (GD) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by bi-allelic GBA1 mutations that reduce the activity of the lysosomal enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase). In the immune system, GCase deficiency deregulates signal transduction events, resulting in an inflammatory environment. It is known that the complement system promotes inflammation, and complement inhibitors are currently being considered as a novel therapy for GD; however, the mechanism by which complement drives ystemic macrophage-mediated inflammation remains incompletely understood. To help understand the mechanisms involved, we performed gene array analysis on rC5a-treated human control and GD-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived macrophages.

Project description:Gaucher disease (GD) is characterized by the presence of glucosylceramide-laden macrophages (Gaucher cells) as the result of deficiency in the lysosomal hydrolase glucocerebrosidase (GBA). Non-neuronopathic type 1 GD is effectively treated by infusions with macrophage-targeted recombinant glucocerebrosidase. We here report how LC-MSE analysis of the proteome of laser-dissected splenic Gaucher cells revealed high expression of several proteins amongst which was gpNMB. This was confirmed by histochemistry and RNA quantification. Macrophages produce gpNMB as membrane protein but release soluble fragments. In plasma of symptomatic Gaucher patients (n=59) soluble gpNMB was next found to be on average 25-fold increased prior to treatment, without overlap with control values, (control mean: 20 ng/ml; range 11-34 ng/ml vs. GD mean: 495 ng/ml; range: 137-1283 ng/ml).

Project description:Gaucher disease (GD) is currently the focus of considerable attention due primarily to the association between the gene that causes GD (GBA) and Parkinson’s disease. Mouse models exist for the systemic (type 1) and for the acute neuronopathic forms (type 2) of GD. Here we report the generation of a mouse that phenotypically models chronic neuronopathic type 3 GD. Gba-/-;Gbatg mice, which contain a Gba transgene regulated by doxycycline, accumulate moderate levels of the offending substrate in GD, glucosylceramide, and live for up to 10 months, i.e. significantly longer than mice which model type 2 GD. Gba-/-;Gbatg mice display behavioral abnormalities at ~4 months, which deteriorate with age, along with significant neuropathology including loss of Purkinje neurons. Gene expression is altered in the brain and in isolated microglia, although the changes in gene expression are less extensive than in mice modeling type 2 disease. Finally, bone deformities are consistent with the Gba-/-;Gbatg mice being a genuine type 3 GD model. Together, the Gba-/-;Gbatg mice share pathological pathways with acute neuronopathic GD mice but also display differences that might help understand the distinct disease course and progression of type 2 and 3 patients.

Project description:In non-neuronopathic type 1 Gaucher disease (GD1) mutations in GBA1 gene results in deficiency of glucocerebrosidase and the accumulation of glucocerebroside in lysosomes of mononuclear phagocytes. The metabolic defect leads to a complex phenotype involving the viscera, the bone marrow and the skeleton. However the prevailing macrophage-centric view of the disease does not explain emerging aspects of the disease such as hematological malignancies, autoimmune diathesis, ParkinsonM-bM-^@M-^Ys disease and osteoporosis poorly responsive to macrophage targeted enzyme therapy or anti-resorptive therapies. We developed a conditional KO mouse model of GD1 to delineate cells and pathways in GD1. By targeting the cells of the hematopoetic and mesenchymal cell lineages through an Mx1 promoter, we recapitulated human GD1. We show that, in addition to significant visceral and hematologic disease, GD1 mice show profound osteopenia due to a bone formation defect. Cytokine measurements, microarray analysis and cellular immunophenotyping together point to widespread dysfunction of macrophages and other immune cells together with a striking abnormality in thymic T-cell development. Our study provides the first direct evidence for the involvement of cell lineages other than mononuclear phagocytes, most notably osteoblasts and T cells, in the pathophysiology of the clinical spectrum of type 1 GD. These findings have important implications for treatment of GD1. We hypothesize that regulation of gene expression is different in Gaucher disease compared with the normal controls. This difference may even be evident in the different stages of this disease. In order to gain insight to the genes that are potentially involved in the development of Gaucher disease in its different clinical stages, exon-array is chosen for this genome-wide association studies. Mouse liver and spleen samples from normal control, GD with moderate to severe splenomegaly/hepatomegaly, together nine samples were chosen. The goal is to find out genes of which the expression may relate to the GD or the severity of GD and thus help identify genetic modifier genes that may contribute to the onset and development of Gaucher disease.

Project description:Gaucher disease (GD) results from mutations in the GBA1 gene, which encodes lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (GCase). The large number of mutations known to date in the gene lead to a heterogeneous disorder, which is divided into a non-neuronopathic, type 1 GD, and two neurological, type 2 and type 3, forms. We studied the two fly GBA1 orthologs, GBA1a and GBA1b. Each contains a Minos element insertion, which truncates its coding sequence. In the GBA1am/m flies, which express a mutant protein, missing 33 C-terminal amino acids, there was no decrease in GCase activity or substrate accumulation. However, GBA1bm/m mutant flies presented a significant decrease in GCase activity with concomitant substrate accumulation, which included C14:1 glucosylceramide and C14:0 glucosylsphingosine. GBA1bm/m mutant flies showed activation of the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) and presented inflammation and neuroinflammation that culminated in development of a neuronopathic disease. Treatment with ambroxol did not rescue GCase activity or reduce substrate accumulation; however, it ameliorated UPR, inflammation and neuroinflammation, and increased life span. Our results highlight the resemblance between the phenotype of the GBA1bm/m mutant fly and neuronopathic GD and underlie its relevance in further GD studies as well as a model to test possible therapeutic modalities.

Project description:Gaucher disease, a recessive inherited metabolic disorder caused by defects in the gene encoding glucosylceramidase (GlcCerase), can be divided into three subtypes according to the appearance of symptoms associated with central nervous system involvement. We now identify a protein, glycoprotein non-metastatic B (GPNMB), that acts as an authentic marker of brain pathology in neurological forms of Gaucher disease. Using three independent techniques, including quantitative global proteomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in samples from Gaucher disease patients that display neurological symptoms, we demonstrate a correlation between the severity of symptoms and GPNMB levels. Moreover, GPNMB levels in the CSF correlate with disease severity in a mouse model of Gaucher disease. GPNMB was also elevated in brain samples from patients with type 2 and 3 Gaucher disease. Our data suggest that GPNMB can be used as a marker to quantify neuropathology in Gaucher disease patients and as a marker of treatment efficacy once suitable treatments towards the neurological symptoms of Gaucher disease become available.

Project description:Great interest has been shown in understanding the pathology of Gaucher disease (GD) due to the recently-discovered genetic relationship with Parkinson’s disease. For such studies, suitable animal models of GD are required. Chemical induction of GD by inhibition of acid β-glucosidase (GCase) using the irreversible inhibitor, conduritol-B-epoxide (CBE), is particularly attractive, although few systematic studies examining the effect of CBE on development of symptoms associated with neurological forms of GD have been performed. We now demonstrate a correlation between the amount of CBE injected into mice and levels of accumulation of the GD substrates, glucosylceramide and glucosylsphingosine, and show that disease pathology, indicated by altered levels of pathological markers, depends on the dose of CBE and its time of injection. Gene array analysis shows a remarkable similarly in the gene expression profile of CBE-treated mice and a genetic GD mouse model, the Gbaflox/flox;nestin-Cre mouse, with 120 of the 144 genes up-regulated in CBE-treated mice also up regulated in Gbaflox/flox;nestin-Cre mice. Finally, we demonstrate that some aspects neuropathology and some behavioral abnormalities can be arrested upon cessation of CBE treatment during a specific time window. Together, our data demonstrate that injection of mice with CBE provides a rapid and relatively easy way to induce symptoms typical of neuronal forms of GD, which will prove particularly useful when examining the role of specific biochemical pathways in GD pathology, since CBE can be injected into mice defective in components of putative pathological pathways, alleviating the need for time consuming crossing of mice.

Project description:Mutations in the lysosomal enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase), which cause Gaucher´s disease, are the most frequent genetic risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Here, we employed single-cell genomic approaches in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived midbrain organoids to dissect the mechanisms underlying GCase-related neurodegeneration.
