A sublethal ATP11A mutation associated with neurological deterioration causes aberrant phosphatidylcholine flipping in plasma membranes.

ABSTRACT: ATP11A translocates phosphatidylserine (PtdSer), but not phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho), from the outer to the inner leaflet of plasma membranes, thereby maintaining the asymmetric distribution of PtdSer. Here, we detected a de novo heterozygous point mutation of ATP11A in a patient with developmental delays and neurological deterioration. Mice carrying the corresponding mutation died perinatally of neurological disorders. This mutation caused an amino acid substitution (Q84E) in the first transmembrane segment of ATP11A, and mutant ATP11A flipped PtdCho. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the mutation allowed PtdCho binding at the substrate entry site. Aberrant PtdCho flipping markedly decreased the concentration of PtdCho in the outer leaflet of plasma membranes, whereas sphingomyelin (SM) concentrations in the outer leaflet increased. This change in the distribution of phospholipids altered cell characteristics, including cell growth, cholesterol homeostasis, and sensitivity to sphingomyelinase. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) showed a marked increase of SM levels in the brains of Q84E-knockin mouse embryos. These results provide insights into the physiological importance of the substrate specificity of plasma membrane flippases for the proper distribution of PtdCho and SM.

Project description:We used shotgun proteomics to identify plasma membrane and lipid raft proteins purified from B cells obtained from mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients in leukemic phase. Bioinformatics identified 111 transmembrane proteins, some of which were profiled in primary MCL cases, MCL-derived cell lines, and normal B cells using RT-PCR and Western blotting. Several transmembrane proteins, including CD27, CD70, and CD31 (PECAM-1), were overexpressed when compared with normal B cells. CD70 was up-regulated (>10-fold) in three of five MCL patients along with its cognate receptor CD27, which was up-regulated (4-9-fold) in five of five patients, suggesting that MCL cells may undergo autocrine stimulation via this signaling pathway. Activated calpain I and protein kinase C betaII were also detected in the plasma membranes, suggesting that these proteins are constitutively active in MCL. Protein kinase C betaII has been associated with lipid rafts, and shotgun proteomics/protein profiling revealed that key lipid raft proteins, raftlin (four of five patients) and CSK (C-terminal Src kinase)-binding protein (Cbp)/phosphoprotein associated with glycosphingolipid-enriched microdomains (PAG) (four of four patients) were down-regulated in MCL. Levels of other known lipid raft proteins, such as Lyn kinase and flotillin 1, were similar to normal B cells. However, 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), a key enzyme in leukotriene biosynthesis, was associated with lipid rafts and was up-regulated approximately 7-fold in MCL compared with normal B cells. Significantly inhibitors of 5-LO activity (AA861) and 5-LO-activating protein (FLAP) (MK886, its activating enzyme) induced apoptosis in MCL cell lines and primary chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells, indicating an important role for the leukotriene biosynthetic pathway in MCL and other B cell malignancies. Thus, using shotgun proteomics and mRNA and protein expression profiling we identified a subset of known and unknown transmembrane proteins with aberrant expression in MCL plasma membranes. These proteins may play a role in the pathology of the disease and are potential therapeutic targets in MCL.

Project description:BackgroundEarly neurological deterioration (END) occurs in many patients with acute ischemic stroke due to a variety of causes. Although pharmacologically induced hypertension (PIH) and anticoagulants have been investigated in several clinical trials for the treatment of END, the efficacy and safety of these treatments remain unclear. Here, we investigated whether PIH or anticoagulation is better as a rescue therapy for the progression of END in patients with lacunar stroke.MethodsThis study included patients with lacunar stroke who received rescue therapy with END within 3 days of symptom onset between April 2014 and August 2021. In the PIH group, phenylephrine was administered intravenously for 24 h and slowly tapered when symptoms improved or after 5 days of PIH. In the anticoagulation group, argatroban was administered continuously intravenously for 2 days and twice daily for next 5 days. We compared END recovery, defined as improvement in NIHSS from baseline, excellent outcomes (0 or 1 mRS at 3 months), and safety profile.ResultsAmong the 4818 patients with the lacunar stroke, END occurred in 147 patients. Seventy-nine patients with END received PIH (46.9%) and 68 patients (46.3%) received anticoagulation therapy. There was no significant difference in age (P = 0.82) and sex (P = 0.87) between the two groups. Compared to the anticoagulation group, the PIH group had a higher incidence of END recovery (77.2% vs. 51.5%, P < 0.01) and excellent outcomes (34.2% vs. 16.2%, P = 0.04). PIH was associated with END (HR 2.49; 95% CI 1.06-5.81, P = 0.04). PIH remained associated with END recovery (adjusted HR 3.91; 95% CI 1.19-12.90, P = 0.02). Safety outcomes, like hemorrhagic conversion and mortality, were not significantly different between the two groups.ConclusionsAs a rescue therapy for the progression of END in lacunar stroke patients, PIH with phenylephrine was more effective with similar safety compared to anticoagulation with argatroban.
