Project description:To screen for candidate genes that may contribute to the pathogenesis of GalT-II deficiency. Transcriptome-wide expression profiling using the Affymetrix Gene 1.0 ST platform comparing the gene expression patterns of skin fibroblasts of the two affected sisters with those of three healthy individuals. Abstract: Mutations in B3GALT6, encoding the galactosyltransferase II (GalT-II) involved in the synthesis of the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) linkage region of proteoglycans (PGs), have recently been associated with a spectrum of connective tissue disorders, including spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity type 1 (SEMDJL1) and Ehlers–Danlos-like syndrome. Here, we report on two sisters compound heterozygous for two novel B3GALT6 mutations that presented with severe short stature and progressive kyphoscoliosis, joint hypermobility and laxity, hyperextensible skin, platyspondyly, short ilia, and elbow malalignment. Microarray-based transcriptome analysis revealed the differential expression of several genes encoding extracellular matrix (ECM) structural components, including COMP, SPP1, COL5A1, and COL15A1, enzymes involved in GAG synthesis and in ECM remodeling, such as CSGALNACT1, CHPF, LOXL3, and STEAP4, signaling transduction molecules of the TGFβ/BMP pathway, i.e., GDF6, GDF15, and BMPER, and transcription factors of the HOX and LIM families implicated in skeletal and limb development. Immunofluorescence analyses confirmed the down-regulated expression of some of these genes, in particular of the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein and osteopontin, encoded by COMP and SPP1, respectively, and showed the predominant reduction and disassembly of the heparan sulfate specific GAGs, as well as of the PG perlecan and type III and V collagens. The key role of GalT-II in GAG synthesis and the crucial biological functions of PGs are consistent with the perturbation of many physiological functions that are critical for the correct architecture and homeostasis of various connective tissues, including skin, bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments, and generates the wide phenotypic spectrum of GalT-II-deficient patients.

Project description:Biallelic mutations of the DNA annealing helicase SMARCAL1 (SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a-like 1) cause Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (SIOD, MIM 242900), an incompletely penetrant autosomal recessive disorder. Using human, Drosophila, and mouse models, we show that the proteins encoded by SMARCAL1 orthologues localize to transcriptionally active chromatin and modulate gene expression. We also show that similar to SIOD patients, deficiency of the SMARCAL1 orthologues alone is insufficient to cause disease in fruit flies and mice although such deficiency causes modest diffuse alterations in gene expression. Rather, disease manifests when SMARCAL1 deficiency interacts with genetic and environmental factors that further alter gene expression. We conclude that the SMARCAL1 annealing helicase buffers fluctuations in gene expression and that alterations in gene expression contribute to the penetrance of SIOD. For analysis of gene expression in primary cultured human dermal fibroblasts, 5.0 μg of total RNA from three biologically independent replicates was extracted from two SIOD (SD8 and SD60) and a control skin fibroblast cell lines, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays.

Project description:Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a genodermatosis characterized by fragile skin forming blisters that heal invariably with scars. It is due to mutations in the COL7A1 gene encoding type VII collagen, the major component of anchoring fibrils connecting the cutaneous basement membrane to the dermis. Identical COL7A1 mutations often result in inter- and intra-familial disease variability, suggesting that additional modifiers contribute to RDEB course. Here, we studied a monozygotic twin pair with RDEB presenting markedly different phenotypic manifestations, while expressing similar amounts of collagen VII. Genome-wide expression analysis in twins' fibroblasts showed differential expression of genes associated with TGF-β pathway inhibition. In particular, decorin, a skin matrix component with anti-fibrotic properties, was found to be more expressed in the less affected twin. Accordingly, fibroblasts from the more affected sibling manifested a profibrotic and contractile phenotype characterized by enhanced α-smooth muscle actin and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 expression, collagen I release and collagen lattice contraction. These cells also produced increased amounts of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. Both TGF-β canonical (Smads) and non-canonical (MAPKs) pathways were basally more activated in the fibroblasts of the more affected twin. The profibrotic behaviour of these fibroblasts was suppressed by decorin delivery to cells. Our data show that the amount of type VII collagen is not the only determinant of RDEB clinical severity, and indicate an involvement of TGF-β pathways in modulating disease variability. Moreover, our findings identify decorin as a possible anti-fibrotic/inflammatory agent for RDEB therapeutic intervention. Primary fibroblast cultures from biopsies from two twins affected by recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa were analyzed. Each hybridization was performed in biological triplicate and in technical duplicate.

Project description:This dataset contains single-cell RNA sequencing data from lung tissues of Galt gene-edited (GAL) mice and wild-type (WT) mice. The samples were collected for the investigation of molecular changes induced by Galt gene mutations, specifically focusing on lung injury. The dataset includes gene expression profiles of individual cells and enables the study of cell-type-specific responses, immune cell changes, and alterations in key cellular pathways. This dataset is useful for further understanding the pathophysiology of lung injury associated with Galt gene mutations and provides a resource for research into the molecular mechanisms of galactosemia.

Project description:Pompe disease (glycogen storage disease type II, or acid maltase deficiency) is an autosomal-recessive disorder of metabolism caused by mutations in the lysosomal hydrolase, acid alpha-glucosidase gene (GAA), resulting in progressive muscle atrophy. The current standard of care treatment, enzyme replacement therapy, consists of delivering recombinant human GAA (rhGAA) to reduce muscle glycogen and improve patient quality of life. With the aim of developing in vitro systems to study human disease and test therapies, we applied RNA sequencing to 3D tissue-engineered human skeletal muscle to compare healthy, (infantile onset) Pompe disease, and rhGAA-treated Pompe engineered tissues.
