Project description:Pathogenic germline mutations in PIGV result in a glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis deficiency (GPIBD). Individuals with pathogenic biallelic mutations in genes of the GPI pathway show cognitive impairments, a motor delay and often epilepsies. Thus far, the pathophysiology underlying the disease remains unclear and suitable rodent models are lacking that mimic human pathophysiology. We therefore generated a mouse model using CRISPR-Cas9 to introduce the most prevalent hypomorphic missense mutation in European patients, at a site that is also conserved in mice, Pigv:c.1022C>A (p.A341E). Pigv341E mice showed deficits in motor coordination and cognitive impairment with poorer long-term spatial memory. Furthermore, Pigv341E mice showed alterations in sociability and sleep patterns reflecting the human phenotype. Immunohistochemistry showed decreased synaptophysin-immunoreactivity and electrophysiology recordings demonstrated reduced hippocampal synaptic transmission in Pigv341E mice that may explain impaired memory formation. Moreover, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of hippocampal cells from brains of adult Pigv341E mice that exhibit changes of gene expression, most prominently in a microglia subtype and subicular neurons. A significant reduction of Abl1 transcripts in several cell clusters suggest a link to the signaling pathway of GPI-anchored ephrins. We also identified increased levels of Hdc that might affect histamine metabolism with consequences for circadian rhythm and neuronal excitability. In summary, we present here the first mouse model with a patient-specific hypomorphic mutation that mirrors the human phenotype and will allow us to explore the pathophysiology in GPIBDs in future studies.

Project description:Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) controls matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity through 1:1 stochiometric binding. Human TIMP-1 fused to a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor (TIMP-1-GPI) shifts the activity of TIMP-1 from the extracellular matrix to the cell surface. TIMP-1-GPI treated renal cell carcinoma cells (RCC) show increased apoptosis and reduced proliferation. Transcriptomic profiling and regulatory pathway mapping were used to identify potential mechanisms driving these effects. Significant changes in inhibitor of DNA binding (IDs), TGF-β1/SMAD and BMP pathways resulted from TIMP-1-GPI treatment. These events were linked to reduced TGF-β1 signaling mediated by inhibition of proteolytic processing of latent TGF-β1 by TIMP-1-GPI.

Project description:Pathogenic germline mutations in PIGV lead to glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis deficiency (GPIBD). Individuals with pathogenic biallelic mutations in genes of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor pathway exhibit cognitive impairments, motor delay, and often epilepsy. Thus far, the pathophysiology underlying the disease remains unclear, and suitable rodent models that mirror all symptoms observed in human patients have not been available. Therefore, we used CRISPR-Cas9 to introduce the most prevalent hypomorphic missense mutation in European patients, Pigv:c.1022C > A (p.A341E), at a site that is conserved in mice. Mirroring the human pathology, mutant Pigv341E mice exhibited deficits in motor coordination, cognitive impairments, and alterations in sociability and sleep patterns, as well as increased seizure susceptibility. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry revealed reduced synaptophysin immunoreactivity in Pigv341E mice, and electrophysiology recordings showed decreased hippocampal synaptic transmission that could underlie impaired memory formation. In single-cell RNA sequencing, Pigv341E-hippocampal cells exhibited changes in gene expression, most prominently in a subtype of microglia and subicular neurons. A significant reduction in Abl1 transcript levels in several cell clusters suggested a link to the signaling pathway of GPI-anchored ephrins. We also observed elevated levels of Hdc transcripts, which might affect histamine metabolism with consequences for circadian rhythm. This mouse model will not only open the doors to further investigation into the pathophysiology of GPIBD, but will also deepen our understanding of the role of GPI-anchor-related pathways in brain development.

Project description:The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) biosynthetic pathway in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is crucial for generating GPI-anchored proteins (GPI-APs), which are translocated to the cell surface and play a vital role in cell signaling and adhesion. This study focuses on two integral components of the GPI pathway, the PIGL and PIGF proteins, and their significance in trophoblast biology. We show that GPI pathway mutations impact on placental development impairing the development of the syncytiotrophoblast (SynT), and especially the SynT-II layer, which is essential for the establishment of the definitive nutrient exchange area within the placental labyrinth. CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of Pigl and Pigf in mouse trophoblast stem cells (mTSC) confirms the role of these GPI enzymes in syncytiotrophoblast differentiation. Mechanistically, impaired GPI-AP generation induces an excessive unfolded protein response (UPR) in the ER in mTSCs growing in stem cell conditions, akin to what is observed in human preeclampsia. Remarkably, the transcriptomic profile of Pigl- and Pigf-deficient cells separates human patient placental samples into preeclampsia and control groups suggesting an involvement of Pigl and Pigf in establishing a preeclamptic gene signature. Upon differentiation, the impairment of the GPI pathway hinders the induction of WNT signaling for early SynT-II development. Our study unveils the pivotal role of GPI biosynthesis in early placentation and uncovers a new preeclampsia gene expression profile associated with mutations in the GPI biosynthesis pathway, providing novel molecular insights into placental development with implications for enhanced patient stratification and timely interventions.

Project description:Somatic mutation in the X-linked phosphatidylinositol glycan class A (PIG-A) gene causes glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor deficiency in humans with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH). Clinically, patients with PNH have intravascular hemolysis, venous thrombosis and bone marrow failure. We produced a conditional Pig-a knock-out mouse model specifically inactivating the Pig-a gene in hematopoietic cells to study the role of PIG-A deficiency in PNH pathophysiology. We used Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 chips to investigate the gene expression pattern in the mouse model of targeted Pig-a deletion. Experiment Overall Design: We performed microarray analysis on 3 pools of sorted GPI-deficient (GPI-) and GPI normal (GPI+) bone marrow cells derived from the same Pig-a knock-out animals, and identified 1275/669 genes of the 45,101 transcripts potentially available for screening using 2-fold change, <10% false discovery rate (FDR) and percentage of present calls as selection criteria. The major representative genes belong to the category of immune response. We tested whether the molecular differences between GPI- and GPI+ bone marrow cells could be preserved when GPI- cells were transplanted in lethally-irradiated wild type mice (C57BL/6). Microarray analysis was performed using sorted bone marrow cells from 4 animals transplanted with GPI-deficient bone marrow cells (T-GPI-) from Pig-a knock-out donors, 3 animals transplanted with GPI-normal bone marrow cells from C57BL/6 donors (T-GPI+), and GPI-normal bone marrow cells from 4 wild-type C57BL/6 mice (WT-GPI+). We found 296 probesets with 2-fold change cutoff, of which T-GPI- cells had 145 up-regulated genes in comparison to WT-GPI+ cells, and had 123 genes differentially expressed when compared to T-GPI+ cells. The gene expression of the GPI-deficient cells was very similar between the two sets of microarray experiments affirming the maintenance of the phenotype before and after bone marrow cell transplantation.

Project description:A time course of the effect of overexpressing GPI-PLD on global gene expression in HepG2 cells was compared to control virus. Experiment Overall Design: This experiment compares the global gene expression in HepG2 cells that were either transduced with an adenovirus expressing GPI-phospholipase D or an adenovirus expressing beta galactosidase as a control. Treatment was for 6 or 12 hrs. Four replicates for each condition were used. 10 micrograms of total RNA was assayed per genechip using standard Affymetrix protocols. CONTEXT: Recent studies demonstrated that de novo lipogenesis is increased in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Patients with NAFLD also have plasma lipid abnormalities. These lipid abnormalities may in part be related to insulin resistance, which is common in patients with NAFLD. Insulin resistance is associated with alterations in proteins involved in lipid metabolism including glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD), which is involved in triglyceride metabolism. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to determine whether alterations in serum and hepatic levels of GPI-PLD occur in patients with NAFLD. DESIGN AND PATIENTS: We examined the following: 1) levels of serum GPI-PLD in nondiabetics with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, compared with matched controls; 2) hepatic expression of GPI-PLD mRNA in patients with normal liver or NAFLD; and 3) effect of overexpressing GPI-PLD vs. beta-galactosidase (control) on global gene expression in a human hepatoma cell line. RESULTS: The serum levels of GPI-PLD were significantly higher in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis than in matched controls (119 +/- 24 vs.105 +/- 15 microg/ml, P = 0.047). The hepatic expression of GPI-PLD mRNA was increased nearly 3-fold in NAFLD patients, compared with patients with normal liver (3.1 +/- 2.6 vs. 1.1 +/- 1.0 arbitrary units per microgram total RNA, P = 0.026). Finally, overexpressing GPI-PLD was associated with an increase in de novo lipogenesis genes. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with NAFLD have elevated serum levels and hepatic expression of GPI-PLD, and its overexpression in vitro is associated with increased expression of de novo lipogenesis genes. These results suggest that GPI-PLD may play a role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and/or its metabolic features and warrants further investigation.

Project description:Histone methyltransferases catalyze site-specific deposition of methyl groups, enabling recruitment of transcriptional regulators. In mammals, trimethylation of lysine 4 in histone H3, a modification localized at the transcription start sites of active genes, is catalyzed by six enzymes (SET1a and SET1b, MLL1–MLL4) whose specific functions are largely unknown. By using a genomic approach, we found that in macrophages, MLL4 (also known as Wbp7) was required for the expression of Pigp, an essential component of the GPI-GlcNAc transferase, the enzyme catalyzing the first step of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor synthesis. Impaired Pigp expression in Wbp7-/- macrophages abolished GPI anchor-dependent loading of proteins on the cell membrane. Consistently, loss of GPI-anchored CD14, the coreceptor for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and other bacterial molecules, markedly attenuated LPS-triggered intracellular signals and gene expression changes. These data link a histone-modifying enzyme to a biosynthetic pathway and indicate a specialized biological role for Wbp7 in macrophage function and antimicrobial response.
