Cytohesin-2 is essential for the survival of mice and regulates Golgi volume and function

ABSTRACT: Proteins of the cytohesin family are known for their guanine-nucleotide exchange factor function for ARF-GTPases, mainly for ARF1 and ARF6. While Arf1 and Arf6 deficiency results in embryonic lethality, in vivo functions of cytohesins are rarely described and mostly inconspicuous. We analyzed the role of cytohesin-2 in vivo and in vitro and found that cytohesin-2 full knockout mice die within one day after birth. Mass spectrometry-based organellar proteomics in wildtype and CRISPR-Cas9-generated cytohesin-2-/- C2 myoblasts revealed a markedly altered Golgi compartment. Golgi volumes were reduced in different cytohesin-2-/- cell lines compared to wildtype cells as revealed by immunofluorescence. Reduced Golgi volumes were rescued by introducing cytohesin- 2. Finally, we observed that typical functions of the Golgi apparatus were disrupted in cytohesin-2-deficient cells. Cytohesin2-/- C2 myoblasts exhibited significant changes in the galactose / N-acetyl-galactosamine glycosylation on the cell surface compared to wildtype cells when stained with peanut agglutinin. Further, protein secretion was overall reduced in neonatal cytohesin-2-/- mice compared to wildtype as determined by mass spectrometry-based proteomics. This study describes the essential role of cytohesin-2 in neonatal development and a novel function of the protein in Golgi regulation.

Cytohesin proteins are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for ARF GTPases, particularly ARF1 and ARF6. Although <i>Arf1</i> and <i>Arf6</i> deficiency leads to embryonic lethality, the in vivo roles of cytohesins remain poorly characterized. In this study, we investigated the functions of cytohesin-2 both in vivo and in vitro. Strikingly, full knockout of cytohesin-2 in mice results in perinatal lethality within 20 h of birth. Employing mass spectrometry-based organellar proteomics for t ...[more]

Project description:Age-related decline in brain endothelial cell (BEC) function critically contributes to cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative disease. Comprehensive atlases of the BEC transcriptome have become available but results from proteomic profiling are lacking. To gain insights into endothelial pathways affected by aging, we developed a magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS)-based mouse BEC enrichment protocol compatible with high-resolution mass-spectrometry and analysed the profiles of protein abundance changes across multiple time points between 3 and 18 months of age and identified Arf6 as one of the most prominently downregulated vesicle-mediated transport protein during BEC aging. To understand the role of ARF6 in human ECs, first we compared GFP-AAV treated human iECs differentiated from ARF6-KO vs WT iPSCs, next we compared ARF6-GFP-AAV vs GFP-AAV treated iECs differentiated from WT iPSCs. During the ARF6-KO vs WT iEC comparison we found 983 vs 741 proteins significantly down- and upregulated, respectively. Enrichment analyses of significantly downregulated proteins revealed mRNA processing among the most significantly affected biological processes. During the ARF6-GFP-AAV vs GFP-AAV treated WT iEC comparison we found 1106 vs 1218 proteins significantly down- and upregulated, respectively. Enrichment analyses of significantly upregulated proteins revealed endocytic recycling, retrograde transport (endosome to Golgi), and ER-Golgi vesicle-mediated transport among the most significantly affected biological processes. Specifically, ARF6 and its binding-protein GGA2, DNM1L and several subunits of the Conserved oligomeric Golgi complex (COG) were upregulated. Our approach uncovered changes not picked up by transcriptomic studies such as accumulation of vesicle cargo and receptor ligands including Apoe, a major regulator of brain lipid metabolism. Proteomic analysis of BECs from Apoe deficient mice revealed a signature of accelerated aging. To explore the role of APOE in human endothelial cells, in this experiment we compared human iECs differentiated from APOE-KO and WT iPSCs and found 326 significantly altered proteins. Enrichment analyses of significantly downregulated proteins revealed vesicle-mediated transport and vesicle fusion to be among the most significantly affected biological processes. Specifically, among the 34 significantly altered vesicle-mediated transport proteins 26 were downregulated. Accordingly, we found reduced levels of endocytosis of FM1-43FX in newly formed vesicles in APOE-KO iECs.
