Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11665. [PMID: 37511424 PMCID: PMC10380790 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241411665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Rett syndrome (RTT), a severe X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder, is primarily caused by mutations in the methyl CpG binding protein 2 gene (MECP2). Over 35% RTT patients carry nonsense mutation in MECP2, making it a suitable candidate disease for nonsense suppression therapy. In our previous study, gentamicin was found to induce readthrough of MECP2 nonsense mutations with modest efficiency. Given the recent discovery of readthrough enhancers, CDX compounds, we herein evaluated the potentiation effect of CDX5-1, CDX5-288, and CDX6-180 on gentamicin-mediated readthrough efficiency in transfected HeLa cell lines bearing the four most common MECP2 nonsense mutations. We showed that all three CDX compounds potentiated gentamicin-mediated readthrough and increased full-length MeCP2 protein levels in cells expressing the R168X, R255X, R270X, and R294X nonsense mutations. Among all three CDX compounds, CDX5-288 was the most potent enhancer and enabled the use of reduced doses of gentamicin, thus mitigating the toxicity. Furthermore, we successfully demonstrated the upregulation of full-length Mecp2 protein expression in fibroblasts derived from Mecp2R255X/Y mice through combinatorial treatment. Taken together, findings demonstrate the feasibility of this combinatorial approach to nonsense suppression therapy for a subset of RTT patients.

Exon identity influences splicing induced by exonic variants and in silico prediction efficacy. J Cyst Fibros 2020; 20:464-472.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minigenes and in silico prediction tools are commonly used to assess the impact on splicing of CFTR variants. Exon skipping is often neglected though it could impact the efficacy of targeted therapies. The aim of the study was to identify exon skipping associated with CFTR variants and to evaluate in silico predictions of seven freely available software. METHODS CFTR basal exon skipping was evaluated on endogenous mRNA extracted from non-CF nasal cells and on two CFTR minigene banks. In silico tools and minigene systems were used to evaluate the impact of CFTR exonic variants on exon skipping. RESULTS Data showed that out of 65 CFTR variants tested, 26 enhanced exon skipping and that in silico prediction efficacy was of 50%-66%. Some in silico tools presented predictions with a bias towards the occurrence of splicing events while others presented a bias towards the absence of splicing events (non-detection including true negatives and false negatives). Classification of exons depending on their basal exon skipping level increased prediction rates up to 80%. CONCLUSION This study indicates that taking basal exon skipping into account could orientate the choice of the in silico tools to improve prediction rates. It also highlights the need to validate effects using in vitro assays or mRNA studies in patients. Eventually, it shows that variant-guided therapy should also target exon skipping associated with variants.

Molecular Insights into Determinants of Translational Readthrough and Implications for Nonsense Suppression Approaches. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21249449.

Abstract
The fidelity of protein synthesis, a process shaped by several mechanisms involving specialized ribosome regions and external factors, ensures the precise reading of sense and stop codons. However, premature termination codons (PTCs) arising from mutations may, at low frequency, be misrecognized and result in PTC suppression, named ribosome readthrough, with production of full-length proteins through the insertion of a subset of amino acids. Since some drugs have been identified as readthrough inducers, this fidelity drawback has been explored as a therapeutic approach in several models of human diseases caused by nonsense mutations. Here, we focus on the mechanisms driving translation in normal and aberrant conditions, the potential fates of mRNA in the presence of a PTC, as well as on the results obtained in the research of efficient readthrough-inducing compounds. In particular, we describe the molecular determinants shaping the outcome of readthrough, namely the nucleotide and protein context, with the latter being pivotal to produce functional full-length proteins. Through the interpretation of experimental and mechanistic findings, mainly obtained in lysosomal and coagulation disorders, we also propose a scenario of potential readthrough-favorable features to achieve relevant rescue profiles, representing the main issue for the potential translatability of readthrough as a therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Since the identification of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) as a disease in 1938 until 2012, only
therapies to treat symptoms rather than etiological therapies have been used to treat the disease. Over
the last few years, new technologies have been developed, and gene editing strategies are now
moving toward a one-time cure. This review will summarize recent advances in etiological therapies
that target the basic defect in the CF Transmembrane Receptor (CFTR), the protein that is mutated in
CF. We will discuss how newly identified compounds can directly target mutated CFTR to improve
its function. Moreover, we will discuss how proteostasis regulators can modify the environment in
which the mutant CFTR protein is synthesized and decayed, thus restoring CFTR function. The
future of CF therapies lies in combinatory therapies that may be personalized for each CF patient.

Abstract
Premature termination codons (PTCs) are generally associated with severe forms of genetic diseases. Readthrough of in-frame PTCs using small molecules is a promising therapeutic approach. Nonetheless, the outcome of preclinical studies has been low and variable. Treatment efficacy depends on: 1) the level of drug-induced readthrough, 2) the amount of target transcripts, and 3) the activity of the recoded protein. The aim of the present study was to identify, in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) model, recoded channels from readthrough therapy that may be enhanced using CFTR modulators. First, drug-induced readthrough of 15 PTCs was measured using a dual reporter system under basal conditions and in response to gentamicin and negamycin. Secondly, exon skipping associated with these PTCs was evaluated with a minigene system. Finally, incorporated amino acids were identified by mass spectrometry and the function of the predicted recoded CFTR channels corresponding to these 15 PTCs was measured. Nonfunctional channels were subjected to CFTR-directed ivacaftor-lumacaftor treatments. The results demonstrated that CFTR modulators increased activity of recoded channels, which could also be confirmed in cells derived from a patient. In conclusion, this work will provide a framework to adapt treatments to the patient's genotype by identifying the most efficient molecule for each PTC and the recoded channels needing co-therapies to rescue channel function.

Abstract
Premature termination codons (PTC) originate from nucleotide substitution introducing an in-frame PTC. They induce truncated, usually non-functional, proteins, degradation of the PTC containing transcripts by the nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) pathway and abnormal exon skipping. Readthrough compounds facilitate near cognate amino-acyl-tRNA incorporation, leading potentially to restoration of a functional full-length protein. Splicing mutations can lead to aberrantly spliced transcripts by creating a cryptic splice site or destroying a normal site. Most mutations result in disruption of the open reading frame and activation of NMD. Antisense oligonucleotides are single stranded short synthetic RNA-like molecules chemically modified to improve their stability and ability to recognize their target RNAs and modify the splice site. This review focuses on recent developments in therapies aiming to improve the health of CF patients carrying nonsense or splicing mutations.

Abstract
Werner Syndrome (WS) is a rare inherited disease characterized by premature aging and increased propensity for cancer. Mutations in the WRN gene can be of several types, including nonsense mutations, leading to a truncated protein form. WRN is a RecQ family member with both helicase and exonuclease activities, and it participates in several cell metabolic pathways, including DNA replication, DNA repair, and telomere maintenance. Here, we reported a novel homozygous WS mutation (c.3767 C > G) in 2 Argentinian brothers, which resulted in a stop codon and a truncated protein (p.S1256X). We also observed increased WRN promoter methylation in the cells of patients and decreased messenger WRN RNA (WRN mRNA) expression. Finally, we showed that the read-through of nonsense mutation pharmacologic treatment with both aminoglycosides (AGs) and ataluren (PTC-124) in these cells restores full-length protein expression and WRN functionality.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis may be revealed by nasal polyposis (NP) starting early in life. We performed cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) DNA and mRNA analyses in the family of a 12-year-old boy presenting with NP and a normal sweat test. Routine DNA analysis only showed the heterozygous c.2551C>T (p.Arg851*) mutation in the child and the father. mRNA analysis showed partial exon skipping due to c.2551C>T and a significant increase in total CFTR mRNA in the patient and the mother, which was attributable to the heterozygous c. -2954G>A variant in the distant promoter region, as demonstrated by in vitro luciferase assays. The 5' rapid amplification of cDNA ends analysis showed the presence of a novel transcript, where the canonical exon 1 was replaced by an alternative exon called 1a-Long. This case report could represent the first description of a CFTR-related disorder associated with the presence of a 5' alternative, probably nonfunctional transcript, similar to those of fetal origin.

Abstract
Hereditary tyrosinemia type I (HT1) is a rare disease caused by a deficiency of fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) in the tyrosine catabolic pathway, resulting mainly in hepatic alterations due to accumulation of the toxic metabolites fumarylacetoacetate, maleylacetoacetate and succinylacetone. We have characterized using minigenes four splicing mutations affecting exonic or intronic nucleotides of the FAH gene identified in two HT1 patients. Two of the mutations are novel, c.82-1G>A and c.913G>C and the other two have been previously associated with a splicing defect (c.836A>G and c.1062+5G>A). All mutations were confirmed to affect splicing in minigenes, resulting in exon skipping or activation of a cryptic splice site. We have analyzed the effect of different compounds known to modulate splicing (valproic acid, phenyl butyrate, M344, EIPA, and resveratrol) and the overexpression of splice factors of the SR protein family on the transcriptional profile of the mutant minigenes. For the c.836A>G mutation, a partial recovery of the correctly spliced transcript was observed. These results confirm the relevance of performing functional studies for mutations potentially affecting the splicing process and open the possibility of supplementary therapeutic approaches to diseases caused by splicing defects.
