Project description:Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a vitamin K-dependent post-translationally modified protein, highly expressed in vascular and cartilaginous tissues. It is a potent inhibitor of extracellular matrix mineralization. Biallelic loss of function variants in the MGP gene cause Keutel syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by widespread calcification of various cartilaginous tissues and skeletal and vascular anomalies. In this study, we report four individuals from two unrelated families with two heterozygous variants in MGP, both altering the Cysteine 19 residue to phenylalanine or tyrosine. These individuals presented with a spondyloepiphyseal skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature with a short trunk, diffuse platyspondyly, midface retrusion, progressive epiphyseal anomalies and brachytelephalangism. We investigated the cellular and molecular effects of one of the heterozygous deleterious variants (C19F) using both cell and genetically modified mouse models. Heterozygous ‘knock-in’ mice expressing C19F MGP recapitulated most of the skeletal anomalies observed in the affected individuals. We demonstrated that the main underlying mechanism leading to the observed skeletal dysplasia is endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis of the growth plate chondrocytes. Our findings support that heterozygous variants in MGP altering Cys19 residue cause autosomal dominant spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, a condition distinct from Keutel syndrome both clinically and molecularly.

Project description:Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are at increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Colitis-associated dysplasia (flat or polypoid) continues to be a reliable marker for CRC in these patients. However, flat lesions are often missed during endoscopy and can rapidly progress to high-grade dysplasia or cancer. microRNAs (miRs), small non-coding RNAs, have emerged as a valuable diagnostic biomarker of human cancer due to their ease of detection and stability. The goal of this study was to identify a miR signature that can serve as a reliable biomarker for the early detection of colitis-associated dysplasia in patients with long-standing colitis.

Project description:Pseudodiastrophic dysplasia (PDD) is a severe skeletal dysplasia associated with prenatal manifestation and early lethality. Clinically, PDD is classified as a ‘dysplasia with multiple joint dislocations’ however, the molecular aetiology of the disorder is currently unknown. In order to identify the genetic defects underlying PDD, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) on 3 patients from 2 unrelated families, clinically diagnosed with PDD. WES resulted in the identification of bi-allelic variants in the established skeletal dysplasia genes, B3GAT3 (Family 1) and CANT1 (Family 2). Mutations in these genes have previously been reported to cause ‘multiple joint dislocations, short stature, and craniofacial dysmorphism with or without congenital heart defects’ (B3GAT3) and Desbuquois dysplasia 1 (CANT1); disorders in the same nosological group as PDD. Follow-up of the B3GAT3 variants demonstrated significantly reduced B3GAT3/GlcAT-I expression. Downstream in vitro functional analysis revealed abolished biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycan side chains on proteoglycans. Functional evaluation of the CANT1 variant showed impaired nucleotidase activity, which results in inhibition of glycosaminoglycan synthesis through accumulation of uridine diphosphate. For the families described in this study, the PDD phenotype was caused by mutations in the known skeletal dysplasia genes B3GAT3 and CANT1, demonstrating the advantage of genomic analyses in delineating the molecular diagnosis of skeletal dysplasias. This finding expands the phenotypic spectrum of B3GAT3- and CANT1- related skeletal dysplasias to include PDD, and highlights the significant phenotypic overlap of conditions within the proteoglycan biosynthesis pathway.

Project description:Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia (PPD) is a rare autosomal recessive cartilage disorder caused by biallelic variants in CCN6, encoding the matricellular protein WISP3. To investigate how disease-associated CCN6 variants impact chondrocytes, we overexpressed two clinically relevant variants—p.Cys52* and p.Cys114Trp—both located in the IGFBP domain, and assessed their effects on redox balance, ER stress, ECM remodeling, gene expression, and protein–protein interactions. The p.Cys52* variant led to rapid degradation of WISP3, consistent with complete loss-of-function. In contrast, p.Cys114Trp induced severe protein destabilization, mitochondrial ROS accumulation, and elevated ER stress. Proteomic analysis revealed that p.Cys114Trp established novel interactions, suggesting a gain-of-function effect. These variant-specific differences highlight how structural context influences cellular outcomes beyond variant type alone. Altogether, our findings emphasize the necessity of functional characterization to better model PPD pathogenesis and provide mechanistic insights that may guide future therapeutic strategies.

Project description:Oral malignancies are among the top most deadly cancers in the world. Early diagnosis of oral premalignant and malignant lesions is essential for treatment decision-making and prognosis improvement. In this study, we systematically evaluated the gene expression patterns during the pathogenesis of oral moderate dysplasia. RNA sequencing detected 21556 genes in moderate dysplasia and paired normal tissues from three patients. Hierarchical clustering analysis revealed distinct gene expression patterns between the moderate dysplasia samples. 346 differentially expressed genes that may contribute to the pathogenesis of moderate dysplasia were identified. Among these genes, ISG15 and MAGEA family showed different transcription profiles that close related with the alterations of gene expression patterns in moderate dysplasia samples and paired normal tissues. We speculated that, as the potential marker to signal the risk of malignant transformation, ISG15 and MAGEA together with their close related misexpressed genes may involve in two different pathways during the malignant conversion from oral dysplasia to oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:Alternative splicing analysis of laser micro-dissected lung dysplasia RNA samples Lung dysplasia is a precancerous condition with high risk of malignant transformation. Little is known about alternative spliced (AS) genes in dysplasia. We therefore investigated laser micro-dissected microscopic foci of non-contaminant dysplasia and/or lung adenocarcinoma of c-Raf transgenic mice and searched genome wide for AS genes using exon arrays. Notably, bioinformatics defined 34 and 36 AS genes in the comparison dysplasia versus transgenic unaltered and non-transgenic lung tissue while the comparison adenocarcinoma versus transgenic unaltered and non-transgenic lung tissue revealed 54 and 56 genes, respectively. So far only 6 of these were reported for lung cancer. Importantly, dysplasia related AS genes were also regulated in lung cancer to suggest a role in disease onset. Next to exon skipping/inclusion alternative splicing at the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y and 5M-bM-^@M-^Y was common and included genes of the splicing regulatory pathway. Disease dependent changes of variant transcripts were confirmed by RT-PCR while Western blotting identified alternative splicing to modulate protein levels of AS genes. For the AS genes Add3, Cast, Osbpl6, Nedd4l, Numb, Picalm and Slk transcript and protein level agreed well, whereas for Arhgef11, Clstn1, Dlg1, Dock9, Mbnl2, Mfge8, Npnt, Pdlim5, Ppp2r5c, Tjp1 notable differences in the abundance of variant transcripts were observed by RT-PCR and gel electrophoresis. Moreover, expression of individual variants differed between dysplasia and carcinoma to suggest their disease dependent regulation. Western blotting of IQGAP1, MYO6, PTPRM, RABGAP1L and RAD50 confirmed significant regulation of isoforms in lung cancer as compared to non-transgenic, transgenic unaltered and dysplastic lung tissue. For 46 AS genes expression of the non-variant protein was reported in human lung cancer (www.proteinatlas.org) and for 13 of these, cancer related AS events are known. Overall, new insight into lung dysplasia was obtained with 43 new cancer related AS genes to aid diagnosis and molecular intervention strategies. We analyzed and compared dysplastic (n=4) and adenocarcinoma (n=4) lesions and with transgenic but unaltered (n=4) and non-transgenic (n=5) lung tissue obtained from SPC/c-Raf transgenic mice with aid of laser micro dissection pressure catapulted (LMPC) technique. Dysplasia is a pre-neoplastic condition and developed at 5 month of age in the proposed mouse model. LMPC provides precise microscopic lesion collection without contamination. The RNA samples were analyzed using the Affymetrix Mouse Exon 1.0 ST platform. Alternative splicing was analyzed using Biotique XRAY tool. No technical replicates were performed.
