Project description:Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is characterized by anemia and cancer susceptibility, and is caused by mutations in ribosomal genes, including Rpl11. Here, we report that Rpl11-heterozygous embryos are not viable, and homozygous deletion of Rpl11 in adult mice results in death within a few weeks, accompanied by bone marrow aplasia and intestinal atrophy. Importantly, deletion of a single Rpl11 allele in adult mice results in anemia associated to decreased erythroid progenitors and defective erythroid maturation. These phenotypes are also present in mice transplanted with inducible heterozygous Rpl11 bone marrow, indicating a cell-autonomous role of RPL11 in erythropoiesis. Additionally, fibroblasts lacking one or both Rpl11 alleles show defective p53 activation upon ribosomal stress or DNA damage. Furthermore, fibroblasts and hematopoietic tissues from heterozygous Rpl11 mice present higher basal cMYC levels. Accordingly, heterozygous Rpl11 mice are highly susceptible to radiation-induced lymphomagenesis. We conclude that Rpl11-deficient mice recapitulate DBA disorder, including cancer predisposition.

Project description:Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) is associated with developmental defects and profound anemia. Mutations in genes encoding a ribosomal protein of the small (e.g. Rps19) or large (e.g. Rpl11) ribosomal subunit are found in over half of these patients. The mutations cause ribosomal haploinsufficiency, which reduces overall translation efficiency of cellular mRNAs. We reduced expression of *Rps19* or *Rpl11* in mouse erythroblasts and investigated mRNA polyribosome association, which revealed deregulated translation initiation of specific transcripts. Among these were *Bag1*, encoding a Hsp70 co-chaperone, and *Csde1*, encoding an RNA binding protein, both expressed at increased levels in erythroblasts. Their translation initiation is cap-independent and starts from an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES), which appeared sensitive to knock down of Rps19 or Rpl11. Mouse embryos lacking Bag1 die at embryonic day E13.5 with reduced erythroid colony forming cells in the fetal liver, and low Bag1 expression impairs erythroid differentiation in vitro. Reduced expression of Csde1 impairs proliferation and differentiation of erythroid blasts. Protein but not mRNA expression of *BAG1* and *CSDE1* was reduced in erythroblasts cultured from DBA patients. Our data suggest that impaired IRES-mediated translation of mRNAs expressed at increased levels in erythroblasts contributes to the erythroid phenotype of DBA.

Project description:The Affymetrix Human Gene 2.0 ST array was used to measure differential expression of RNA isolated from normal and Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) erythroid progenitors after ex vivo expansion of circulating, peripheral blood derived hematopoietic stem cells under erythroid growth conditions. The gene-level probe summaries reported in this series were computed using RMA as implemented in the Bioconductor package Oligo v1.36.1. Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a congenital bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by erythroid aplasia, usually without perturbation of other hematopoietic lineages. Approximately 65% of DBA patients with autosomal dominant inheritance have heterozygous mutations or deletions in ribosomal protein (RP) genes while <1% of patients with X-linked inheritance have been identified with mutations in the transcription factor, GATA1. Erythroid cells from patients with DBA have not been well characterized and the mechanisms underlying the erythroid specific effects of either RP or GATA1 associated DBA remain unclear. We have developed an in vitro culture system to expand peripheral blood CD34+ progenitor cells from patients with DBA and differentiate them into erythroid cells. Cells from patients with RP or GATA1 mutations showed decreased proliferation and delayed erythroid differentiation compared to controls. RNA transcript analyses of erythroid cells from controls and patients with RP or GATA1 mutations showed distinctive differences, with upregulation of heme biosynthesis genes prominently in RP-mediated DBA and failure to upregulate components of the translational apparatus in GATA1-mediated DBA. Our data show that dysregulation of translational function is a common feature of DBA caused by both RP and GATA1 mutations.

Project description:Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) is a rare, congenital erythrocyte aplasia that is usually caused by haploinsufficiency of ribosomal proteins due to diverse mutations in one of several ribosomal protein genes. A striking feature of this disease is that a range of different mutations in ribosomal proteins results in similar disease phenotypes primarily characterized by erythrocyte abnormalities and macrocytic anemia, while most other cell types are minimally affected. Previously, we analyzed the erythrocyte membrane proteomes of several DBA patients and identified several proteins that are not typically associated with this cell type that suggested inflammatory mechanisms contribute to the pathogenesis of DBA. In this study, we evaluated the erythrocyte cytosolic proteome of DBA patients through in-depth analysis of hemoglobin-depleted erythrocyte cytosol. The simple, reproducible, hemoglobin depletion using nickel columns enabled in-depth analysis of over 1000 cytosolic erythrocyte proteins with minimal subsequent fractionation of the proteome. Label-free quantitation and statistical analysis identified 29 proteins that were significantly changed in DBA patients compared to matched healthy control donors. Some of the proteins that were significantly increased in DBA erythrocyte cytoplasm included three proteasome subunit beta proteins that make up the immunoproteasome and proteins induced by interferon-γ such as n-myc interactor and interferon-induced 25 kDa protein [NMI and IFI35 respectively]. Pathway analysis confirmed the presence of an inflammatory signature with erythrocytes of DBA patients and predicted key upstream regulators including mitogen activated kinase 1, interferon-γ, tumor suppressor p53, and tumor necrosis factor. These results show that erythrocytes in DBA patients are intrinsically different from those in healthy controls which may be due to an inflammatory response resulting from the inherent molecular defect of ribosomal protein haploinsufficiency or changes in the bone marrow microenvironment that leads to red cell aplasia in DBA patients.

Project description:Ribosome dysfunction underlies the pathogenesis of many cancers and heritable ribosomopathies. Here we investigate how mutations in either ribosomal protein large (RPL) or ribosomal protein small (RPS) subunit genes selectively affect erythroid progenitor development and clinical phenotypes in Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA), a rare ribosomopathy with limited therapeutic options. Using single-cell assays of patient-derived bone marrow, we delineated two distinct cellular trajectories segregating with ribosomal protein genotypes: almost complete loss of erythroid specification were observed in RPS-DBA. In contrast, we observed relative preservation of qualitatively abnormal erythroid progenitors and precursors in RPL-DBA. Although both DBA genotypes exhibited a pro-inflammatory bone marrow milieu, RPS-DBA was characterized by erythroid differentiation arrest, whereas RPL-DBA was characterized by preserved GATA1 expression and activity. Compensatory stress erythropoiesis in RPL-DBA exhibited disordered differentiation underpinned by an altered glucocorticoid molecular signature, including reduced ZFP36L2 expression, leading to milder anemia and improved corticosteroid response. This integrative analysis approach identified distinct pathways of erythroid failure and defined genotype-phenotype correlations in DBA. These findings may help facilitate therapeutic target discovery.

Project description:RPS19 mutations are the most common cause of the human disorder Diamond Blackfan Anemia. The R62W mutation was hypothesized to act in a dominant negative fashion and mice expressing RPS19R62W have many of the characteristics of Diamond Blackfan Anemia. Diamond-Blackfan Anemia (DBA), is an inherited erythroblastopenia associated with mutations in at least 8 different ribosomal protein genes. Mutations in the gene encoding Ribosomal Protein S19 (RPS19) have been identified in ~25% of DBA families. Most of these mutations disrupt either the translation or stability of the RPS19 protein and are predicted to cause DBA by haploinsufficiency. However, approximately ~30% of RPS19 mutations are missense mutations that do not alter the stability of the RPS19 protein and are hypothesized to act by a dominant negative mechanism. To formally test this hypothesis, we generated a transgenic mouse model expressing an RPS19 mutation in which an Arginine residue is replaced with a Tryptophan residue at codon 62 (RPS19R62W). Constitutive expression of RPS19R62W in developing mice was lethal. Conditional expression of RPS19R62W resulted in growth retardation, a mild anemia with reduced numbers of erythroid progenitors and significant inhibition of terminal erythroid maturation, similar to DBA. RNA profiling demonstrated over 700 dysregulated genes belonging to the same pathways that are disrupted in RNA profiles of DBA patient cells.

Project description:Diamond Blackfan anemia is a congenital bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by hypoproliferative anemia, often with associated physical abnormalities. Perturbations of the ribosome appear critically important to the development of DBA, as alterations in 9 different ribosomal protein genes have been identified in multiple unrelated families, along with rarer abnormalities of additional ribosomal proteins. However, presently only 50-60% of patients have an identifiable genetic lesion by ribosomal protein gene sequencing. Using genome-wide SNP array to evaluate for regions of recurrent copy variation, we identified deletions at known DBA-related ribosomal protein gene loci in 17% (9/51) of patients without an identifiable mutation, including RPS19, RPS17, RPS26, and RPL35A

Project description:Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) is an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome with clinical features of red cell aplasia and variable developmental abnormalities. Most affected patients have heterozygous loss of function mutations in ribosomal protein genes but the pathogenic mechanism is still unknown. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells from DBA patients carrying RPS19 or RPL5 mutations. Transcriptome analysis revealed the striking dysregulation of the transforming growth factor beta signaling pathway in DBA lines. Expression of TGF beta target genes, such as TGFBI, BAMBI, COL3A1 and SERPINE1 was significantly increased in the DBA iPSCs. We quantified intermediates in canonical and non-canonical TGF beta pathways and observed a significant increase in the levels of the non-canonical pathway mediator p-JNK in the DBA iPSCs. Moreover, when the mutant cells were corrected by ectopic expression of WT RPS19 or RPL5, levels of p-JNK returned to normal. Surprisingly, nuclear levels of SMAD4, a mediator of canonical TGF beta signaling, were decreased in DBA cells due to increased proteolytic turnover. We also observed the up-regulation of TGF beta 1R, TGF beta 2, CDKN1A and SERPINE1 mRNA, and the significant decrease of GATA1 mRNA in the primitive multilineage progenitors. In summary our observations identify for the first time a dysregulation of the TGF beta pathway in the pathobiology of DBA.
