Project description:Diamond-Blackfan Anemia Syndrome (DBAS) is characterized by impaired erythropoiesis due to dysfunctional ribosome biogenesis and aberrant cellular signaling. Here, we investigate how ribosomal stress-induced activation of the NLRP1 inflammasome modulates erythroid differentiation in DBAS. We demonstrate that FDA/EMA-approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) effectively mitigate defective erythropoiesis in Diamond-Blackfan anemia syndrome (DBAS) by inhibiting NLRP1 inflammasome activation. Specifically, nilotinib enhances erythroid differentiation in K562 cells through suppression of the ZAKα/P38/NLRP1/CASP1 axis, leading to increased GATA1 protein levels and upregulation of key erythroid genes involved in iron acquisition, hemoglobin synthesis, and erythrocyte structure. These effects were validated in human CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and zebrafish models, where nilotinib, along with other TKIs (imatinib, dasatinib, and bosutinib), promoted erythropoiesis at the expense of myelopoiesis and reduced caspase-1 activity. Importantly, in RPS19-deficient zebrafish and human models and HSPCs from patients with DBAS, nilotinib, imatinib and dasatinib rescued defective erythroid differentiation and restored hemoglobin levels. These findings highlight the potential of TKIs to address the erythroid defects observed in ribosomopathies like DBAS. Given the limited treatment options available for DBAS and other congenital anemias, our study provides compelling evidence for repurposing TKIs as a novel therapeutic strategy to alleviate pathological NLRP1 activation and improve erythropoiesis. This work opens new avenues for managing ribosome-related disorders and advancing personalized medicine approaches for hematopoietic diseases.

Project description:We found that endogenously expressed RPS19 binds evolutionarily constrained intronic elements. By assessing overexpression of WT RPS19 and RPS19 harboring the most common Diamond-Blackfan anemia missense mutations, we confirmed that disease-relevant mutations alter RPS19 binding preferences in human cells.

Project description:RPS19 mutations are the most common cause of the human disorder Diamond Blackfan Anemia. The R62W mutation was hypothesized to act in a dominant negative fashion and mice expressing RPS19R62W have many of the characteristics of Diamond Blackfan Anemia. Diamond-Blackfan Anemia (DBA), is an inherited erythroblastopenia associated with mutations in at least 8 different ribosomal protein genes. Mutations in the gene encoding Ribosomal Protein S19 (RPS19) have been identified in ~25% of DBA families. Most of these mutations disrupt either the translation or stability of the RPS19 protein and are predicted to cause DBA by haploinsufficiency. However, approximately ~30% of RPS19 mutations are missense mutations that do not alter the stability of the RPS19 protein and are hypothesized to act by a dominant negative mechanism. To formally test this hypothesis, we generated a transgenic mouse model expressing an RPS19 mutation in which an Arginine residue is replaced with a Tryptophan residue at codon 62 (RPS19R62W). Constitutive expression of RPS19R62W in developing mice was lethal. Conditional expression of RPS19R62W resulted in growth retardation, a mild anemia with reduced numbers of erythroid progenitors and significant inhibition of terminal erythroid maturation, similar to DBA. RNA profiling demonstrated over 700 dysregulated genes belonging to the same pathways that are disrupted in RNA profiles of DBA patient cells.

Project description:The danger signals that activate the NLRP1 inflammasome have yet to be firmly established. NLRP1 undergoes autoproteolysis to generate N-terminal (NT) and C-terminal (CT) fragment, which importantly, is a necessary step for its check-point regulation by the DPP9 ternary complex and the mechanistic activation of NLRP1 through functional degradation. Here, we report an added layer of regulatory complexity to NLRP1 activity, in the form of a repressive interaction that NLRP1 forms with the oxidized, but not reduced, form of thioredoxin-1 (TRX1). Loss of TRX1 destabilizes the NT fragment of NLRP1 and promotes enhanced inflammasome activation. The TRX1 interaction occurs through the NACHT-LRR of NLRP1 and requires nucleotide binding in its ATPase domain. In addition, we found that several patient-derived and ATPase-inactivating mutations in the NACHT-LRR region hyperactive the inflammasome by destabilize protein folding and are also shown to abrogate TRX1 binding. Thus, NLRP1 appears to detect intracellular reductive stress through a decrease in the fraction of intracellular oxidized TRX1, which enhances protein disorder, leading to inflammasome signaling. These findings link the cellular redox environment to NLRP1-mediated innate immunity.
