Systematic Transcriptome Analysis of Zebrafish Model of Diamond-Blackfan Anemia from RPS24 Deficiency (mRNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: In this study, we found RPS24 is required for both the primitive hematopoiesis and definitive hematopoiesis process partly mediated by P53 pathway. With the RNA-seq and miRNA-seq technique, several deregulated genes and miRNAs were found to be related with hematopoiesis, vascular development and apoptosis process in RPS24-deficient zebrafish. Meanwhile, a comprehensive regulatory network was firstly constructed to indentify the mechanisms of key miRNAs and gene pathways in this Model of Diamond-Blackfan Anemia. Interestingly, we found that the central nodes genes in the network were almost all targeted by significantly deregulated miRNAs, with partial verification from previous studies, revealing that our network-based approach is promising for the identification of new and important miRNAs in DBA. The present study provided comprehensive potential pathogenic genes and miRNAs data that are associated with RPS24-deficient zebrafish embryos as a model of DBA, which should provide a valuable resource for understanding the complex molecular pathogenesis of mutant RPS24-mediated human diseases.

Project description:Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) is a rare, congenital erythrocyte aplasia that is usually caused by haploinsufficiency of ribosomal proteins due to diverse mutations in one of several ribosomal protein genes. A striking feature of this disease is that a range of different mutations in ribosomal proteins results in similar disease phenotypes primarily characterized by erythrocyte abnormalities and macrocytic anemia, while most other cell types are minimally affected. Previously, we analyzed the erythrocyte membrane proteomes of several DBA patients and identified several proteins that are not typically associated with this cell type that suggested inflammatory mechanisms contribute to the pathogenesis of DBA. In this study, we evaluated the erythrocyte cytosolic proteome of DBA patients through in-depth analysis of hemoglobin-depleted erythrocyte cytosol. The simple, reproducible, hemoglobin depletion using nickel columns enabled in-depth analysis of over 1000 cytosolic erythrocyte proteins with minimal subsequent fractionation of the proteome. Label-free quantitation and statistical analysis identified 29 proteins that were significantly changed in DBA patients compared to matched healthy control donors. Some of the proteins that were significantly increased in DBA erythrocyte cytoplasm included three proteasome subunit beta proteins that make up the immunoproteasome and proteins induced by interferon-γ such as n-myc interactor and interferon-induced 25 kDa protein [NMI and IFI35 respectively]. Pathway analysis confirmed the presence of an inflammatory signature with erythrocytes of DBA patients and predicted key upstream regulators including mitogen activated kinase 1, interferon-γ, tumor suppressor p53, and tumor necrosis factor. These results show that erythrocytes in DBA patients are intrinsically different from those in healthy controls which may be due to an inflammatory response resulting from the inherent molecular defect of ribosomal protein haploinsufficiency or changes in the bone marrow microenvironment that leads to red cell aplasia in DBA patients.
