Progeroid Syndrome Patients with ZMPSTE24 Deficiency Could Benefit When Treated with Rapamycin and Dimethylsulfoxide

ABSTRACT: Patients with progeroid syndromes like mandibuloacral dysplasia, type B (MADB) and restrictive dermopathy (RD), harbor mutations in zinc metalloproteinase (ZMPSTE24), an enzyme essential for post-translational proteolysis of prelamin A to form mature lamin A. Dermal fibroblasts from these patients show increased nuclear dysmorphology and reduced proliferation, however, efficacy of various pharmacological agents in reversing these cellular phenotypes remains unknown. In this study, fibroblasts from MADB patients exhibited marked nuclear abnormalities and reduced proliferation which improved upon treatment with rapamycin and dimethylsulfoxide but not with other agents including farnesyl transferase inhibitors. Surprisingly, fibroblasts from an RD patient with homozygous null mutation in ZMPSTE24, resulting in exclusive accumulation of prelamin A with no lamin A on immunoblotting of cellular lysate, exhibited few nuclear abnormalities and near normal cellular proliferation. An unbiased proteomic analysis of the cellular lysate from RD fibroblasts revealed lack of processing of vimentin, a cytoskeletal protein. Interestingly, the assembly of the vimentin microfibrils in MADB fibroblasts improved with rapamycin and dimethylsulfoxide. We conclude that rapamycin and dimethylsulfoxide are beneficial for improving nuclear morphology and cell proliferation of MADB fibroblasts. Data from RD fibroblasts suggest that prelamin A accumulation by itself may not be detrimental.

Human AK2 links intracellular bioenergetic redistribution to the fate of hematopoietic progenioptors

Project description:Recent studies have linked bioenergetic regulation to cellular differentiation. However, the contribution of metabolic communication among subcellular components to the fate of progenitor cells remains unclear. Adenylate kinase 2 (AK2) is an adenylate phosphotransferase localized in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Although AK2 mutations in human can cause a severe combined immunodeficiency with neutropenia, named reticular dysgenesis (RD), underlying mechanisms have not yet been elucidated. To address these questions, we established induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from two RD patients. Metabolic flux analysis revealed that AK2 mediates the distribution of glycolytic metabolites into the tricarbon acid cycle in mitochondria. Hematopoietic differentiation from RD-iPSCs was profoundly impaired. Intriguingly, RD-iPSC-derived hematopoietic progenitors exhibited an immature mitochondrial morphology, discordant ATP distribution among the mitochondria and nucleus, and alteration of global transcriptional profiles. These results highlight the importance of stage-specific intracellular energy communication for controlling the fate of multipotential progenitors.

Transcriptional profile in dermal fibroblasts from patients with collagen VI related muscular dystrophy

Project description:Objectives: The collagen VI related muscular dystrophies (COL6-RD), Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) and Bethlem myopathy (BM) are among the most common congenital muscular dystrophies, but the pathogenesis, including the role of mutant collagen VI in the matrix is poorly understood. To better define the pathways disrupted by mutations in collagen VI, we have used a transcriptional profiling approach with RNA-Seq to identify differentially expressed genes in COL6-RD patients from controls. Methods: We have used RNA-Seq to identify differentially expressed genes in cultured dermal fibroblasts from 13 COL6-RD patients (8 dominant negative and 5 null) and 6 controls. Sequence reads were analyzed using the TopHat/Cufflinks pipeline. Results: Differentially expressed transcripts between COL6-RD patient and control fibroblasts include upregulation of ECM components and downregulation of factors controlling matrix remodeling and repair. DN and null samples are differentiated by downregulation of genes involved with DNA replication and repair in null samples

Gene expression patterns in IgG4-RD before and after steroid treatment and healthy control groups

Project description:Transcriptome analysis in patients with IgG4-RD and healthy controls IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a new emerging disease entity characterized by elevated serum IgG4 concentrations and tissue tumefaction or infiltration by IgG4-positive plasma cells. At present, however, it is not clear whether IgG4-RD is caused by abnormalities in acquired immunity, like autoimmune diseases, or whether the excess production of IgG4 is a true cause of IgG4-RD or an epiphenomenon associated with inflammatory and/or allergic reactions. We therefore attempted to identify genes related to the pathogenesis or clinicopathology of IgG4-RD. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from patients with IgG4-RD before and after steroid therapy and from healthy controls. Total RNA was extracted and DNA microarray analysis was performed to screen for genes showing changes in expression. To exclude any gender-related differences in gene expression, DNA microarray analysis was performed only on samples obtained from male patients and controls. Total RNA was reverse transcribed to cDNA using AmbionM-BM-. WT Expression kits (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA), labeled with GeneChipM-BM-. WT Terminal Labeling and Controls kits (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA), and hybridized to GeneChipM-BM-. Human Gene 1.0 ST Arrays (Affymetrix), which include 28869 probes. Digitalized image data were processed using GeneChipM-BM-. Operating Software (Affymetrix).

Rapamycin effect on gene expression: dependence on c-Myc

Project description:This experiment utilized rat fibroblasts that are wild-type for c-Myc (TGR-1 cells) and null for c-Myc (HO15.19 cells). Both were treated treated with rapamycin for 24 hr (comparison group, vehicle control). Cells were studied under conditions that supported proliferation. Rapamycin (50nM or DMSO vehicle control) was added for 24 hr after which RNA was prepared and analyzed.

Comparative Proteomics of PairedVocal Fold and Oral Mucosa Fibroblasts

Project description:Injuries of the vocal folds frequently heal with scar formation, which can have lifelong detrimental impact on voice quality. Current treatments to prevent or resolve scars of the vocal fold mucosa are highly unsatisfactory. In contrast, the adjacent oral mucosa is mostly resistant to scarring. These differences in healing tendency might relate to distinct properties of the fibroblasts populating oral and vocal fold mucosae. We thus established the in vitro cultivation of paired, near-primary vocal fold fibroblasts (VFF) and oral mucosa fibroblasts (OMF) to perform a basic cellular characterization and comparative cellular proteomics. VFF were significantly larger than OMF, proliferated more slowly, and exhibited a sustained TGF-β1-induced elevation of pro-fibrotic interleukin 6. Cluster analysis of the proteomic data revealed distinct protein repertoires specific for VFF and OMF. Further, VFF displayed a broader protein spectrum, particularly a more sophisticated array of factors constituting and modifying the extracellular matrix. Conversely, subsets of OMF-enriched proteins were linked to cellular proliferation, nuclear events, and protection against oxidative stress. Altogether, this study supports the notion that fibroblasts sensitively adapt to the functional peculiarities of their respective anatomical location and presents several molecular targets for further investigation in the context of vocal fold wound healing.

fibroblasts and iPS cells from patients with insulin receptor mutations

Project description:Insulin resistance is central to diabetes and metabolic syndrome. To define the consequences of genetic insulin resistance distinct from those secondary to cellular differentiation or in vivo regulation, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from individuals with insulin receptor mutations and age-appropriate control subjects and studied insulin signaling and gene expression compared with the fibroblasts from which they were derived. iPSCs from patients with genetic insulin resistance exhibited altered insulin signaling, paralleling that seen in the original fibroblasts. Insulin-stimulated expression of immediate early genes and proliferation were also potently reduced in insulin resistant iPSCs. Global gene expression analysis revealed marked differences in both insulin-resistant iPSCs and corresponding fibroblasts compared with control iPSCs and fibroblasts. Patterns of gene expression in patients with genetic insulin resistance were particularly distinct in the two cell types, indicating dependence on not only receptor activity but also the cellular context of the mutant insulin receptor. Thus, iPSCs provide a novel approach to define effects of genetically determined insulin resistance. This study demonstrates that effects of insulin resistance on gene expression are modified by cellular context and differentiation state. Moreover, altered insulin receptor signaling and insulin resistance can modify proliferation and function of pluripotent stem cell populations. To investigate the impact of genetic insulin resistance on transcriptional regulation in iPSCs, we analyzed global gene expression using microarrays in both fibroblasts and iPSCs.

Gene expression data from rapamycin resistant and sensitive cell lines

Project description:The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a central regulator of cell proliferation. Inhibitors of mTOR are being evaluated as anti-tumor agents. Given the emerging role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in tumorgenesis we hypothesized that miRNAs could play important roles in the response of tumors to mTOR inhibitors. Rapamycin resistant myogenic cells developed by long-term rapamycin treatment showed extensive reprogramming of miRNAs expression, characterized by up-regulation of the mir-17~92 and related clusters and down-regulation of tumor-suppressor miRNAs. Antagonists of oncogenic miRNA families and mimics of tumor suppressor miRNAs (let-7) restored rapamycin sensitivity in resistant tumor cells. This study identified miRNAs as new downstream components of the mTOR-signaling pathway, which may determine the response of tumors to mTOR inhibitors.
