Project description:PMM2-CDG is a rare inborn error of metabolism caused by deficiency of the phosphomannomutase-2 (PMM2) enzyme, which leads to impaired protein glycosylation. While the disorder presents with primarily neurological symptoms, there is limited knowledge about the specific brain-related changes that result from PMM2 deficiency. We found aberrant neural activity in 2D neuronal networks from individuals with PMM2-CDG. Utilizing multi-omics datasets from 3D brain organoids derived from individuals with PMM2-CDG, we found widespread decreases in protein glycosylation, highlighting impaired glycosylation as a key pathological feature of PMM2-CDG. Furthermore, we identified impaired mitochondrial structure and abnormal glucose metabolism in PMM2-CDG brain organoids, indicating disturbances in energy metabolism. Correlation between PMM2 enzymatic activity in brain organoids and symptom severity suggests that the level of PMM2 enzyme function directly influences neurological manifestations. These findings enhance our understanding of specific brain-related perturbations associated with PMM2-CDG, offering insights into the underlying mechanisms and potential directions for therapeutic interventions.

Project description:In the biological systems, several genes are involved in protein glycosylation pathway. Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) is known to be a multisystem disorder. Pathogenic variants in the glycosylation genes lead to abnormal N- or O-linked glycosylation that causes cellular stress. We used TMT-based N-glycoproteomics and proteomics on different patient-derived CDG and control fibroblasts to characterize the alteration in glycoproteome and proteome. 12 fractions of enriched glycopeptides after size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and 12 fractions after basic reverse phase liquid chromatography (bRPLC) were analyzed by LC-MS/MS for glycoproteomics and proteomics, respectively. A site-specific aberrant glycosylation was observed for several proteins such as mitochondrial, autophagy, extracellular matrix and cell adhesion proteins. By using quantitative proteomics, we observed alteration in abundances of several proteins separated the affected individuals and controls. The glycoproteomics and proteomics analysis in CDG patients provides the potential biomarkers and will increase our general understanding of its pathogenesis.

Project description:PGM1 deficiency is recognized as the third most common N-linked Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) in humans. Affected individuals present with liver, musculoskeletal, endocrine, and coagulation symptoms; however, the most life-threatening complication is an early onset of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Recently, we discovered that oral D-galactose supplementation improved liver disease, endocrine and coagulation abnormalities, but does not alleviate the fatal cardiomyopathy and the associated myopathy. To study the pathobiology of the cardiac disease observed in PGM1-CDG, we constructed a novel cardiomyocyte-specific conditional Pgm2 (mouse ortholog of human PGM1) knockout (Pgm2 cKO) mouse model. Echocardiography studies corroborated a DCM phenotype with significantly reduced ejection fraction and left ventricular dilatation similar to those seen in individuals with PGM1-CDG. Histological studies demonstrated excess glycogen accumulation and fibrosis, while ultrastructural analysis revealed Z-disk disarray and swollen/fragmented mitochondria. We observed similar ultrastructural pathology in the cardiac explant of an individual with PGM1-CDG. We found decreased mitochondrial function in the heart of Pgm2 cKO mice. Transcriptomic analysis of hearts from Pgm2 cKO mice demonstrated a gene signature of DCM. Although proteomics revealed only mild changes in global protein expression in left ventricular tissue of Pgm2 cKO mice, a glycoproteomic analysis revealed an overall decreased protein glycosylation with significant glycosylation defects in sarcolemmal proteins including different subunits of laminin protein. Finally, augmentation of PGM1 in KO mice via AAV9-PGM1 gene replacement therapy prevented and halted the progression of the DCM phenotype.

Project description:The most common congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) is caused by pathogenic variants in PMM2 (PMM2-CDG) that reduce phosphomannomutase activity and impair N-glycan synthesis. Patients present early in life with multi-system disabilities. Traditional diagnosis relies on measuring carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) and confirmation by genetic testing. However, tests for CDT can be normal in some patients, or normalize with age. Because patients also show subtle alterations in serum glycan structures, we considered that site-specific glycosylation changes might be diagnostic. We analyzed serum from 35 individuals with PMM2-CDG for discovery and validation of glycoproteomic changes. We carried out mass spectrometry-based discovery studies to profile the glycoproteome in an initial set of well-characterized affected individuals and matched controls. Next, we developed a streamlined method for analyzing additional affected individuals. Finally, targeted mass spectrometry was used to validate selected N-glycopeptides in an independent set of samples in a blinded fashion. Of the 3,342 N-glycopeptides derived from 284 glycoproteins identified in discovery experiments, individuals with PMM2-CDG exhibited a general decrease in complex-type N-glycans and an increase in truncated, mannose-rich and hybrid species. We identified a glycopeptide from complement C4 carrying the glycan Man5GlcNAc2, which was not detected in controls. Notably, this glycopeptide was also detected in five affected individuals with normal CDT, including one individual after liver transplant, two individuals with a known genetic variant associated with mild disease and two individuals with well characterized variants, indicating that this glycopeptide is more sensitive than CDT. Finally, this marker was also detected by targeted analysis in two individuals with variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in PMM2 gene. Overall, we believe that C4-derived Man5GlcNAc2 glycopeptide could serve as a novel next-generation biomarker for more accurate diagnosis and tracking progress of patients in therapeutic trials.

Project description:Disruption of N-linked glycosylation has a broad impact on proper glycosylation of nascent glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum, which affect multiple signalling pathways( by changing the stability of membrane proteins or the signalling ability of membrane receptors) and may be responsible of the fibrotic stage associated to CDG type-I. We used microarrays to characterize the global changes in gene expression in three distinct groups of CDG-I patients and we identified a common perturbation in the expression of genes encoding for proteins involved in the stress as well as in the fibrotic responses. Experiment Overall Design: Primary fibroblasts, obtained from forearm skin biopsies of healthy control subjects and three distinct groups of CDG-I patients, were cultured in F12 DMEM supplemented with 4.5 g/l glucose and 10% fetal calf serum prior to RNA extraction and Hybridization on human HG 133 A Affymetrix Microarrays. To avoid bias related to the analysis of a specific CDG-I type or to a specific individual expression pattern, we have considered three patients for the CDG-Ic and -Ie group and two patients for the CDG-Ig group. Moreover the total RNA was extracted from three different independent biological replicates.

Project description:Glycosylation of proteins is an important post-translational modification that comprises two major stages: synthesis and attachment of glycans in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and glycan remodeling in the ER and Golgi apparatus (GA). Genetic disorders impairing a step of this process give rise to a group of pathologies named congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG). The most common CDG type is PMM2-CDG, caused by mutations on PMM2 (phosphomannomutase 2) genes. PMM2-CDG clinical presentation vary among affected individuals. CDG condition is considered a form of chronic ER stress. Inhibition of glycosylation results in the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER, which induces a complex protective reaction known as the unfolded protein response (UPR), which includes translational repression, transcriptional activation of ER chaperones, and ER-associated degradation of unfolded proteins. In search for CDG biomarkers, EBV-transformed CDG B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCL) were used as cellular models due to two main advantages: first, B-LCL are secretory cells that are forced to continuously synthetize proteins such as immunoglobulins, cytokines or other cell to cell communication molecules, so their ER is chronically stressed; second, as immune system cells, they express common genes and share common regulatory mechanisms with nervous system cells such as neurons (affected cell in most CDG patients). In this work we generated a collection of 7 EBV-transformed PMM2-CDG B-LCL by culture of patients' purified blood B lymphocytes with supernatants of the marmoset EBV-leukocyte cell line B95-8, and compared their transcriptome with that of 7 EBV-transformed healthy B-LCL. Our analysis revealed 348 significantly up-regulated and 106 down-regulated protein-coding genes compared to non-CDG cell lines, which included response to stress, transcription factors, glycosylation, motility and cell junction, development and cell (neuron) differentiation and synapse genes. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) identified biological consequences associated to gene expression changes in PMM2-CDG cells related to the unfolded protein response (UPR), RNA metabolism and the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and mitochondria components. Dysregulated important genes were MAN1A1, MGAT2, CHST4, LARGE, ADAM23, SEMA4D, UNC13C, AUTS2, CA2, SMN1, EXOSC2 expressed not only in the immune system but in other tissues including the nervous system that were compatible with CDG pathophysiology. Our results confirm PMM2-CDG EBV-transformed B-LCL as a suitable cell model that expands both our knowledge and tools to study CDG pathology at the cellular level, useful for functional characteristics and potential therapeutic drugs testing.

Project description:To understand the cellular functions of glycans and to exploit them as clinical targets it is essential to acquire information on their cell surface exposure. Here, we developed a sensitive and specific mass spectrometry method to globally study the N-glycoforms displayed at individual protein sites on the cell surface. This offers a valuable tool to discriminate between functionally relevant glycans and biosynthetic intermediates for future cellular glycoproteomic analyses.

Project description:Alterations of protein abundance and post-translational modifications in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), such as glycosylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination, and their roles in disease progression and treatment outcome are areas of intense study. Little is known, however, about the overall N-glycosylation of proteins in human brains, and those from Alzheimer’s patients, particularly in regard to large-scale intact N-linked glycoproteomics analysis. To elucidate the glycoproteome landscape, we developed an approach based on multi-lectin affinity enrichment, hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC), and LC-MS-based glycoproteomics analysis. We analyzed 10 normal, 10 asymptomatic, and 10 symptomatic AD brains, in which we detected >300 glycoproteins and >1,900 glycoforms across the samples. The majority of glycoproteins have N-glycans that are high-mannosidic and complex chains that are fucosylated and bisected. The Man5 N-glycan was found to occur most frequently at >20% of the total glycoforms. Unlike the glycoproteomes of other tissues, sialylation is a minor feature of the brain glycoproteome, occurring at <9% of N-glycans . We observed changes in the number of antennae, frequency of fucosylation, bisection, and other monosaccharides at individual glycosylation sites among normal, asymptomatic, and symptomatic AD samples. Further analysis revealed glycosylation differences in subcellular compartments. We did not observe a statistical difference between male and female patients. These results represent the first glycoproteomics landscape of brains from multiple AD individuals, which will facilitate a deeper understanding of AD and possible disease treatment options.

Project description:In the biological systems, several genes are involved in protein glycosylation and deglycosylation pathways. Congenital disorders of deglycosylation (CDDG) are a set of disorders which occur due to the defect in genes involved in deglycosylation pathways. The only known CDDG so far is the defect in N-glycanase 1 (NGLY1), which primary function is to cleave the N-glycans from misfolded proteins prior to their proteasomal degradation. We used TMT-based N-glycoproteomics and proteomics on patient derived NGLY1 deficient and control fibroblasts to characterize the alteration in glycoproteome and proteome. 24 fractions of enriched glycopeptides after size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and 24 fractions after basic reverse phase liquid chromatography (bRPLC) were analyzed by LC-MS/MS for glycoproteomics and proteomics, respectively. We identified a total of 3,255 N-glycopeptides which were quantified on 550 glycosylation sites of 407 glycoproteins. A site specific aberrant glycosylation was observed for several extracellular matrix and cell adhesion proteins. By using quantitative proteomics, we detected 8,041 proteins. The alteration in expression of several proteins separated the affected individuals and controls. This is the first glycoproteomic study in patient derived NGLY1-CDDG fibroblasts. The glycoproteomics and proteomics analysis in NGLY1-CDDG provides the potential biomarkers and will increase our general understanding of its pathogenesis.
