Project description:We report using a single-cell transcriptomic study of cerebral organiods (COs) developed from WA09 hESCs with gene editing-induced NGLY1 mutations and from NGLY1-deficient patient's hiPSCs at 40 or 80 days of development. WA09 hESC-derived COs with and without mutant NGLY1 and patient's hiPSC-derived COs with and without the ectopic expression NGLY1 were analyzed.
Project description:Analysis of human cerebral organoids developed from both WA09 human embryonic stem cells with CRISPR-KO of NGLY1. The hypothesis tested was that NGLY1 is key to normal human brain development and when knocked out would alter cerebral development of organoids through the differential expression of various key genes.
Project description:The data includes a transcriptome analysis of K562 cell lines in which the gene N-glycanase 1 (NGLY1) was mutated in exon 1 and/or exon 3 to include loss of function mutations as described in Mueller and Jakob et al, 2020. The data were used in conjunction with whole proteome MS/MS experiments to show a gene expression profile consistent with NGLY1 deficiency, a human disease. The experiments demonstrate the wide ranging effect of the loss of NGLY1 on a cellular system.
Project description:Although NGLY1 deficiency has been discovered as a result of mutations in the NGLY1 gene, cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the neurological abnormalities due to NGLY1 malfunction in the brain remain mostly unknown. Using human cerebral organoid (CO) models and systems biology techniques, we uncovered NGLY1 deficiencyinduced alterations at the early stage of cerebral development. Despite the similar vitality and cellular pluripotency of NGLY1-functional and -deficient WA09 hESCs, COs developed from the NGLY1-deficient hESCs had the defective formation of SATB2+ upper-layer neurons and attenuation of STAT3 and HES1 signaling critical for sustaining radial glia. The NGLY1-deficient CO cells, compared with the NGLY1-functional ones, also presented higher vulnerability to multiple stressors. Bulk and single-cell analysis of transcriptomes revealed that NGLY1-deficient COs showed a propensity for premature neuronal differentiation, accompanied by significant downregulation of secretory and transcription factors, including TTR, IGFBP2, and ID4. Supplementing recombinant TTR to NGLY1-deficient CO cells reduced their susceptibility to proteasome inhibition. Ectopic expression of NGLY1 led to IGFBP2 and ID4 upregulation in CO cells developed from NGLY-deficient patientderived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Moreover, ID4 expression, STAT3 signaling, and proliferation were enhanced by treatment of recombinant IGFBP2 in CO cells developed from the NGLY1-deficient WA09 hESCs and patient-derived iPSCs. Our findings indicate that NGLY1 could be critical for regulating various stress responses and maintaining neural stem cells (NSCs) in the developing cerebrum. In patients, NGLY1 deficiencyassociated neurological abnormalities, including microcephaly, may be a consequence of aberrations in NSC signaling sustained by NGLY1.
Project description:N-glycanase 1(NGLY1) catalyzes the removal of N-linked glycans from newly synthesized or misfolded protein to exert protein quality control function via the process of endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). NGLY1 deficiency (OMIM 615273) is a newly diagnosed rare genetic disorder with ~60 patients worldwide to date. The affected individuals present a broad spectrum of clinical features, including developmental delay, seizures, muscle weakness, liver failure, and the reduced secretion of sweats and tears. Recent studies explored several possible molecular mechanisms of NGLY1 deficiency including in vivo proteostasis, mitochondrial homeostasis, innate immunity, water and ion transport, with the goal of linking these findings to the pathophysiology of the disease. This study focuses on the dysregulation of ERAD in NGLY1 deficiency. We demonstrate the abnormal accumulation of ERAD substrates in NGLY1 deficient cells. Comprehensive global quantitative proteomics discovered elevated levels of novel endogenous proteins in NGLY1 defective human and mouse cells. Further biological validation assays confirmed the altered abundance of several key candidates’ that were observed in the isobarically labeled proteomic experiments. CCN2 was selected for further analysis due to its high fold change in different cell models of NGLY1 deficiency. Functional assays show elevated CCN2 and over-stimulated TGF-β signaling in NGLY1 deficient cells. Given the important role of CCN2 and TGF-β pathway in mediating systemic fibrosis, we propose a potential link of increased CCN2 and TGF-β signaling to microscopic liver fibrosis in NGLY1 patients.
Project description:NGlY1 deficiency is an ultra-rare, autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the NGLY1 gene encoding N-glycanase one that removes N-linked glycan. Patients with pathogenic mutations in NGLY1 have complex clinical symptoms including global developmental delay, motor disorder, and liver dysfunction. To better understand disease pathogensis and neurological symptoms of NGLY1 deficiency we generated and characterized midbrain organoids using patient-derived iPSCs from two patients with disease causing mutations.
Project description:the gene expression profiles of 3 cultured MEFs from NGLY1 knockout mice was compared to 3 cultured MEF from the wild type control mice.
Project description:In the biological systems, several genes are involved in protein glycosylation and deglycosylation pathways. Congenital disorders of deglycosylation (CDDG) are a set of disorders which occur due to the defect in genes involved in deglycosylation pathways. The only known CDDG so far is the defect in N-glycanase 1 (NGLY1), which primary function is to cleave the N-glycans from misfolded proteins prior to their proteasomal degradation. We used TMT-based N-glycoproteomics and proteomics on patient derived NGLY1 deficient and control fibroblasts to characterize the alteration in glycoproteome and proteome. 24 fractions of enriched glycopeptides after size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and 24 fractions after basic reverse phase liquid chromatography (bRPLC) were analyzed by LC-MS/MS for glycoproteomics and proteomics, respectively. We identified a total of 3,255 N-glycopeptides which were quantified on 550 glycosylation sites of 407 glycoproteins. A site specific aberrant glycosylation was observed for several extracellular matrix and cell adhesion proteins. By using quantitative proteomics, we detected 8,041 proteins. The alteration in expression of several proteins separated the affected individuals and controls. This is the first glycoproteomic study in patient derived NGLY1-CDDG fibroblasts. The glycoproteomics and proteomics analysis in NGLY1-CDDG provides the potential biomarkers and will increase our general understanding of its pathogenesis.
