Allelic bias contributes to heterogeneous phenotypes of NK cell deficiency [PBMC]

ABSTRACT: While monogenic variants in CDC45-MCM-GINS (CMG) replisome proteins cause human natural killer cell deficiencies (NKD), family members with the same inherited variants often have variable clinical and cellular phenotypes. Using iPSCs from two siblings with the same hereditary compound heterozygous GINS4 variants but variable disease expressivity, we modeled cell proliferation dynamics and the effect of GINS4 variants on NK cell development from pluripotent stem cells. Cell cycle impairment and increased apoptosis were detected in NK cells from patient-derived iPSCs following NK cell lineage commitment but not in pluripotent cells. While this effect was detected in cell lines from both siblings, the efficiency of NK cell differentiation was variable and correlated with differential clinical severity of NKD. Further investigation of allelic expression of inherited GINS4 variants demonstrated equal biallelic expression of GINS4 in pluripotent cells and primary CD34+ progenitors. However, allelic bias in lineage committed NK cells led to over- or under-representation of more damaging inherited GINS4 heterozygous variants that tracked with differential cellular and clinical severity. This study identifies allelic bias as an epigenetic factor that contributes to the phenotypic variations of monogenic diseases and further defines the etiology of NK cell-lineage specific immunodeficiency arising from CMG variants.

SWATH-MS proteome of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae showing differential protein expression due to the ModP and ModQ phasevarions

Project description:Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is responsible for porcine pleuropneumoniae, a severe respiratory disease that causes major global financial losses to the swine industry every year. Phase variation is the random switching of gene expression, either ON-OFF switching of expression, or the expression of multiple allelic protein variants. A number of bacteria encode cytoplasmic DNA methyltransferases that are phase-variable. This variable methyltransferase expression leads to global gene expression differences mediated by epigenetic mechanisms. These systems are called phasevarions (phase-variable regulons). In all described cases, phasevarions control expression of current and putative vaccine candidates, and influence phenotypes relevant to pathobiology. We have discovered two new phase-variable Type III DNA methyltransferases in A. pleuropneumoniae, which we named modP and modQ. Sequence analysis of multiple strains showed modP was present as four allelic variants, but just a single allelic variant of modQ was present. Phase-variable expression of modP (modP1 or modP2) and modQ leads to differential protein expression. This SWATH-MS dataset demonstrates the resulting changes to protein expression as a result of the of ModP1, ModP2 and ModQ phasevarions. This dataset represents triplicate repeats from strains which express either ModP or ModQ (ON) and strains which do not (OFF).

The naked endosperm genes encode duplicate ID domain transcription factors required for maize endosperm differentiation

Project description:The objective of the current study is to unravel the gene regulatory networks controlled by the nkd genes during maize endosperm development. We compared wild type (B73) vs. nkd mutant (introgressed into B73 background) transcriptomes in aleurone vs. starchy endosperm cell types captured by laser capture microdissection technology. We performed RNA seq analysis of mid-mature (15DAP) endosperm in two cell types [aleurone (A) and starchy endosperm (S)] of wild type B73 (B) and nkd mutant (N) kernels with three independent biological replicates.

Transcriptome profiling of Amazon molly and F1 interspecies hybrid

Project description:The Amazon molly is a unique clonal fish species that originated from an interspecies hybrid between Poecilia species P. mexicana and P. latipinna. It reproduces by gynogenesis, which eliminates paternal genomic contribution to offspring. Earlier study showed that Amazon molly exhibits bi-allelic expression for a large portion of the genome, leading to two main questions: 1. Are the allelic expression patterns from the initial hybridization event stabilized or changed during establishment of the asexual species and its further evolution? 2. Is allelic expression biased toward one parental allele a stochastic or adaptive process? To answer these questions, the allelic expression of P. formosa siblings was assessed to investigate intra- and inter-cohort allelic expression variability. For comparison, interspecies hybrids between P. mexicana and P. latipinna were produced in the laboratory to represent the P. formosa ancestor. We have identified inter-cohort and intra-cohort variation in parental allelic expression. The existence of inter-cohort divergence suggests functional P. formosa allelic expression patterns do not simply reflect the atavistic situation of the first interspecies hybrid but potentially result from long-term selection of transcriptional fitness. In addition, clonal fish exhibit a transcriptional trend representing minimal intra-clonal variability in allelic expression patterns compared to the corresponding hybrids. The intra-clonal similarity in gene expression translates to sophisticated genetic functional regulation at the individuum level. These findings suggest the parental alleles inherited by P. formosa form tightly regulated genetic networks that lead to a stable transcriptomic landscape within clonal individuals.

Characterisation of a novel CRLS1 variant in multi-system mitochondrial disease pathogenesis identifies mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticular stress responses to cardiolipin dysfunction

Project description:Mitochondrial diseases (MD) are a group of inherited diseases with highly varied and complex clinical presentations and their molecular diagnosis has been improved through next generation sequencing. Here, we report four individuals, two of whom are siblings, affected by a progressive mitochondrial encephalopathy who carry biallelic variants in the cardiolipin biosynthesis gene CRLS1. Using patient fibroblasts, we characterised defects in mitochondrial function that were reflective of CRLS1 dysfunctions, providing functional evidence that the CRLS1 I109N variant causes the MD phenotype observed in this patient. Lipid profiling highlighted that the CRLS1 variants reduced cardiolipin levels, altered its acyl-chain composition and caused a significant increase in phosphatidylglycerol, the substrate of cardiolipin synthase. Proteomic profiling of patient cells and Crls1 knockout cell lines identified both endoplasmic reticular and mitochondrial stress responses, and key features that distinguish between varying degrees of cardiolipin insufficiency. Our findings support that deleterious variants in CRLS1 cause a novel autosomal recessive MD, presenting as a severe encephalopathy with multisystemic involvement. Furthermore, we have identified key changes in cardiolipin and proteome profiles across various degrees of cardiolipin dysfunction, facilitating future advances in diagnostic technologies based on curated signatures in high-throughput datasets.

Global discovery of SLE genetic risk variant allelic enhancer activity

Project description:Genome-wide association studies of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) nominate 3,073 genetic variants at 91 risk loci. To systematically screen these variants for allelic transcriptional enhancer activity, we constructed a massively parallel reporter assays (MPRA) library comprising 12,396 DNA oligonucleotides containing the genomic context around every allele of each SLE variant. Transfection into Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B cell line GM12878 revealed 482 variants with enhancer activity, with 51 variants showing genotype-dependent (allelic) enhancer activity at 27 risk loci. Combined with allelic enhancer activity analyses in Jurkat cell line, we identified shared and unique allelic transcriptional regulatory mechanisms at SLE risk loci. In-depth analysis of allelic transcription factor (TF) binding at and around 51 allelic variants identified one class of TFs whose DNA-binding motif tends to be directly altered by the risk variant and a second, larger class of TFs that also bind allelically but do not have their motifs directly altered by the variant. Collectively, our approach provides a blueprint for the discovery of allelic gene regulation at risk loci for any disease and offers insight into the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms underlying SLE.

The complex role of Naked cuticle in Drosophila wing development

Project description:It is of tremendous interests to understand how Wnt signaling is regulated in a precise manner both temporally and spatially. Naked cuticle (Nkd) acts as a negative-feedback inhibitor for Wingless (Wg, a fly Wnt) signaling in Drosophila embryonic development. In the present study, we show that nkd is essential for wing pattern formation, such that both gain and loss of nkd result in the disruption of Wg target expression in larvae stage and abnormal adult wing morphologies. Our results of high-throughput sequencing suggest that nkd have profound effects on Drosophila wing development with several critical signaling pathways involved, we conclude that Nkd inhibits the canonical Wg pathway during Drosophila wing development beyond embryonic stage and may play a mediated role in cross-talk between development-related pathways.

Selection of tumor resistant variants following sustained NK-mediated immune stress

Project description:Resistance of tumor cells to cell-mediated cytotoxicity remains a drawback in the immunotherapy of cancer and its molecular basis is poorly understood. To investigate the acquisition of tumor resistance to cell-mediated cytotoxicity, resistant variants were selected following long term NK cell selection pressure. We found that these variants are resistant to NK cell-mediated lysis but still sensitive to autologous cytotoxic T lymphocytes or cytotoxic drugs. This resistance seems to be dependent, at least partly, of an alteration of the target cell recognition by NK effector cells, but does not appear to involve any alteration of KIR, DNAM1 or NKG2D ligands expression on resistant cells nor the induction of a protective autophagy. To gain further insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the acquired tumor resistance to NK cells-mediated cytotoxicity, we have conducted a comprehensive analysis of the variants transcriptome. Comparative analysis identified an expression profile of genes that best distinguished resistant variant from parental sensitive cancer cells with candidate genes putatively involved in NK cell-mediated lysis resistance, but also in adhesion, migration and invasiveness including up-regulated genes such as POT1, L1CAM or ECM1 and down-regulated genes like B7-H6 or UCHL1. Consequently, the selected variants did not only display resistance to NK cell-mediated lysis but also exhibited more aggressive properties. The present studies emphasize that NK cells expand far beyond the simple killing of malignant cells and may be important effectors during cancer immunoediting.This study aims to compare transcriptome of T1_ref cells (2 triplicates samples untreated versus 2 triplicate samples of T1 after cocultured with NK cells).
