Proteasomal hyperactivity and ubiquitin shortage cause cilia defects upon loss of WDR4

ABSTRACT: The WD repeat-containing protein 4 (WDR4) has repeatedly been associated with primary microcephaly, a condition of impaired brain and skull growth, which may be due to faulty cilia. Here, we show using a combination of approaches in human fibroblasts, zebrafish embryos and patient-derived cells that WDR4 facilitates cilium formation. Molecularly, we associated WDR4 loss-of-function with increased protein synthesis and concomitant upregulation of proteasomal activity, while ubiquitin precursor pools are reduced. Inhibition of proteasomal activity as well as supplementation with free ubiquitin restored normal ciliogenesis. Proteasome inhibition ameliorated microcephaly phenotypes. Thus, we propose that WDR4 loss-of-function impairs head growth and neurogenesis via aberrant cilia formation, initially caused by disturbed protein and ubiquitin homeostasis.

Muscle specific proteasome deficient mice

Project description:The ubiquitin-proteasome and autophagy-lysosome pathways are the two major routes for protein and organelle clearance. In skeletal muscle, both systems’ excessive activation induces severe muscle loss. Although altered proteasomal function has been observed in various myopathies, the specific role of proteasomal activity in skeletal muscle has not been determined by loss-of-function approaches. Here, we report that muscle-specific deletion of a crucial proteasomal gene, Rpt3, resulted in profound muscle atrophy and decrease in force. Rpt3 null muscles showed reduced proteasomal activity in early age, accumulation of basophilic structure, disorganization of sarcomere, and formation of vacuoles and concentric membranous structures in electronmicroscope. We also observed accumulation of ubiquitin, p62, LC3, TDP43, FUS and VCP proteins. Proteasomal activity is important to preserve muscle mass and to maintain myofiber integrity. Our results suggest that inhibition/alteration of proteasomal activity can contribute to myofiber degeneration and weakness in muscle disorders, such as inclusion body myositis, characterized by accumulation of abnormal inclusions. Tibialis anterior muscles from Rpt3 null and control mice. each 3 mice.

EZH2-mediated primary cilium deconstruction drives metastatic melanoma formation

Project description:Human melanomas frequently harbor amplifications of EZH2. However, the oncogenic contribution of this methyltransferase to melanoma formation has remained elusive. Taking advantage of murine melanoma models, we now show that EZH2 drives tumorigenesis from benign BrafV600E or NrasQ61K-expressing melanocytes. EZH2 oncogenicity results from silencing of genes relevant for the integrity of the primary cilium, a signaling organelle projecting from the surface of vertebrate cells. Consequently, gain of EZH2 function promotes loss of primary cilia in benign melanocytic lesions. In contrast, blockade of EZH2 activity evokes ciliogenesis and cilia-dependent growth inhibition in malignant melanoma. Finally, we demonstrate that loss of cilia enhances pro-tumorigenic WNT/β-catenin signaling and is itself sufficient to drive metastatic melanoma in benign cells. Thus, primary cilia deconstruction is a key process in EZH2-driven melanomagenesis.

Genome-wide expression analysis of human hTert immortalized fibroblasts after donwregulation of MCM7

Project description:Minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins facilitate replication by licensing origins and unwinding the DNA double strand. Interestingly, the number of MCM hexamers greatly exceeds the number of firing origins suggesting additional roles of MCMs. Here we show a hitherto unanticipated function of MCM2 in cilia formation in human cells and zebrafish that is uncoupled from replication. Zebrafish depleted of MCM2 develop ciliopathy-phenotypes including microcephaly and aberrant heart looping due to malformed cilia. In non-cycling human fibroblasts, loss of MCM2 promotes transcription of a subset of genes, which cause cilia shortening and centriole overduplication. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments show that MCM2 binds to transcription start sites of cilia inhibiting genes. We propose that such binding may block RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription. Depletion of a second MCM (MCM7), which functions in complex with MCM2 during its canonical functions, reveals an overlapping cilia-deficiency phenotype likely unconnected to replication, although MCM7 appears to regulate a distinct subset of genes and pathways. Our data suggests that MCM2 and 7 exert a role in ciliogenesis in post-mitotic tissues.

SMPD4 mediated sphingolipid metabolism regulates brain and primary cilia development

Project description:SMPD4 (neutral sphingomyelinase-3/nSMase3) has recently been shown to be a new cause of microcephaly in a cohort of twenty-three pediatric patients. The function of nSMases in brain development and how SMPD4 variants cause human microcephaly and cerebellar hypoplasia was previously unknown.We developed an iPSC model to complement our mouse study. We found iPSC models from human SMPD4 patient and CRISPR/Cas9-induced SMPD4 knockout lines demonstrate a proliferation defect, increased cell death, loss of neural progenitors, and shortened primary cilia. Treatment with exogenous ceramide significantly rescues the cilia defect. SMPD4 patient and knockout cells have altered WNT signaling. We provide evidence that SMPD4 controls brain development by providing ceramide for primary ciliogenesis, suggesting a novel therapeutic strategy for SMPD4 mediated disease.

miR-129-3p control cilia assembly by regulating CP110 and actin dynamics [miR-129-3p overexpression]

Project description:Primary cilium serves as a cellular M-bM-^@M-^\antennaM-bM-^@M-^] to sense environmental signals. Ciliogenesis requires the removal of CP110 to convert the mother centriole into the basal body. Actin dynamics is also critical for cilia formation. How these distinct processes are properly regulated remains unknown. Here we show that miR-129-3p, a microRNA conserved in the vertebrates, controlled cilia assembly by down-regulating both CP110 and four proteins critical for actin dynamics, Arp2, Toca1, abLIM1, and abLIM3. Consistently, blocking miR-129-3p repressed cilia formation in cultured mammalian cells, whereas its overexpression potently induced ciliogenesis in proliferating cells and extraordinary cilia elongation. Moreover, inhibition of miR-129-3p in zebrafish embryos suppressed cilia assembly in the KupfferM-bM-^@M-^Ys vesicle and pronephric duct, leading to developmental abnormalities including curved body, pericardial oedema, and randomised left-right patterning. Our results thus unravel a novel mechanism that orchestrates both the centriole-to-basal body transition and subsequent cilia assembly via microRNA-mediated posttranscriptional regulations. We want to find the targets of miR-129-3p by overexpressing miR-129-3p oligo or control oligo in hTERT-RPE1 cells. Through microarray analysis we could check the downregulated genes and these genes might be the targets of miR-129-3p. RPE1 cells were transfected with control (Ctrl) or miR-129-3p (M129) oligo for 72h, and harvested for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Two samples: RPE1-Ctrl, RPE1-M129

Study of SPEN knockdown in MCF10A cells

Project description:In this experiment, we knocked down the expression of Split Ends (SPEN), a gene that we found was involved in the regulation of primary cilia formation, in MCF10A cells, to evaluate its effects on transcription. Split Ends (SPEN) is a transcriptional coregulator that have formerly identified as a tumour suppressor gene in ER-positive breast cancers. We expect the knockdown of SPEN in MCF10A cells to be accompanied with the down-regulation of genes involved in ciliogenesis as we observed that SPEN knockdown decreases primary cilia formation in those cells. We chose MCF10A cells because they harbour lots of primary cilia and therefore represent a good model to study the effect of SPEN on primary cilia formation.
