Arasaki Y, Hayata T. The RNA-binding protein Cpeb4 regulates splicing of the Id2 gene in osteoclast differentiation. J Cell Physiol 2024; 239:e31197. [PMID: 38284484 DOI: 10.1002/jcp.31197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
Cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding protein 4 (Cpeb4) is an RNA-binding protein that regulates posttranscriptional regulation, such as regulation of messenger RNA stability and translation. In the previous study, we reported that Cpeb4 localizes to nuclear bodies upon induction of osteoclast differentiation by RANKL. However, the mechanisms of the localization of Cpeb4 and osteoclastogenesis by Cpeb4 remain unknown. Here, we show that Cpeb4 localizes to the nuclear bodies by its RNA-binding ability and partially regulates normal splicing during osteoclast differentiation. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis with Phos-tag® revealed that the phosphorylation levels of Cpeb4 were already high in the RAW264.7 cells and were not altered by RANKL treatment. Immunofluorescence showed that exogenous Cpeb4 in HEK293T cells without RANKL stimulation localized to the same foci as shown in RANKL-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Furthermore, when nuclear export was inhibited by leptomycin B treatment, Cpeb4 accumulated throughout the nucleus. Importantly, RNA recognition motif (RRM) 7 of Cpeb4 was essential for the localization. In contrast, the intrinsically disordered region, RRM1, and zinc finger domain CEBP_ZZ were not necessary for the localization. The mechanistic study showed that Cpeb4 co-localized and interacted with the splicing factors serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 5 (SRSF5) and SRSF6, suggesting that Cpeb4 may be involved in the splicing reaction. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that the expression of genes related to cell proliferation processes, such as mitotic cell cycle and regulation of cell cycle processes, was elevated in osteoclasts depleted of Cpeb4. Interestingly, the splicing pattern of the inhibitor of DNA binding 2 (Id2) gene, which suppresses osteoclast differentiation, was altered by the depletion of Cpeb4. These results provide new insight into the role of Cpeb4 as a player of normal splicing of Id2 in osteoclast differentiation.

Abstract
Osteopetrosis is a group of genetic bone disorders characterized by increased bone density and defective bone resorption. Osteopetrosis presents a series of clinical manifestations, including craniofacial deformities and dental problems. However, few previous reports have focused on the features of craniofacial and dental problems in osteopetrosis. In this review, we go through the clinical features, types, and related pathogenic genes of osteopetrosis. Then we summarize and describe the characteristics of craniofacial and dental abnormalities in osteopetrosis that have been published in PubMed from 1965 to the present. We found that all 13 types of osteopetrosis have craniomaxillofacial and dental phenotypes. The main pathogenic genes, such as chloride channel 7 gene (CLCN7), T cell immune regulator 1 (TCIRG1), osteopetrosis-associated transmembrane protein 1 (OSTM1), pleckstrin homology domain-containing protein family member 1 (PLEKHM1), and carbonic anhydrase II (CA2), and their molecular mechanisms involved in craniofacial and dental phenotypes, are discussed. We conclude that the telltale craniofacial and dental abnormalities are important for dentists and other clinicians in the diagnosis of osteopetrosis and other genetic bone diseases.

Abstract
Osteopetrorickets is a rare complication of autosomal recessive ("malignant") osteopetrosis. Its prompt diagnosis is essential, because early suspicion of infantile osteopetrosis enables treatment with human stem cell transplantation, depending on the gene involved. It is important to identify not only the characteristic radiological changes of rickets, but also the coexistence of increased bone density, so as not to miss this very rare entity. Herein, a brief case report is presented.

Abstract
The vacuolar H+-ATPase is an enzymatic complex that functions in an ATP-dependent manner to pump protons across membranes and acidify organelles, thereby creating the proton/pH gradient required for membrane trafficking by several different types of transporters. We describe heterozygous point variants in ATP6V0C, encoding the c-subunit in the membrane bound integral domain of the vacuolar H+-ATPase, in 27 patients with neurodevelopmental abnormalities with or without epilepsy. Corpus callosum hypoplasia and cardiac abnormalities were also present in some patients. In silico modelling suggested that the patient variants interfere with the interactions between the ATP6V0C and ATP6V0A subunits during ATP hydrolysis. Consistent with decreased vacuolar H+-ATPase activity, functional analyses conducted in Saccharomyces cerevisiae revealed reduced LysoSensor fluorescence and reduced growth in media containing varying concentrations of CaCl2. Knockdown of ATP6V0C in Drosophila resulted in increased duration of seizure-like behaviour, and the expression of selected patient variants in Caenorhabditis elegans led to reduced growth, motor dysfunction and reduced lifespan. In summary, this study establishes ATP6V0C as an important disease gene, describes the clinical features of the associated neurodevelopmental disorder and provides insight into disease mechanisms.

Abstract
We present clinical case of marble disease in 5 yo girl. The management of this child was made in Vinnitsia Regional Children's Hospital (Vinnitsia, Ukraine). CBC, X-ray of bones, bone marrow biopsy, genetical testing, MRI of the brain and CT of the skull were done during this period. Marble disease is a very rare disease with very serious consequences, the prevention of which requires timely diagnosis and treatment, namely the prevention of infectious complications and early allogenic transplantation of stem cells. As it is a genetically determined disease, it is not possible to prevent the development of osteopetrosis. Genetic screening and proper treatment will allow the patient to lead an almost normal life.

Abstract
Discovery that mutations in TCIRG1 (also known as Atp6i) gene are responsible for most instances of autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) heralded a new era for comprehension and treatment of this phenotypically heterogeneous rare bone disease. TCIRG1 encodes the a3 subunit, an essential isoform of the vacuolar ATPase proton pump involved in acidification of the osteoclast resorption lacuna and in secretory lysosome trafficking. TCIRG1 defects lead to inefficient bone resorption by nonfunctional osteoclasts seen in abundance on bone marrow biopsy, delineating this ARO as 'osteoclast-rich'. Presentation is usually in early childhood and features of extramedullary haematopoiesis (hepatosplenomegaly, anaemia, thrombocytopenia) due to bone marrow fibrosis, and cranial nerve impingement (blindness in particular). Impaired dietary calcium uptake due to high pH causes the co-occurrence of rickets, described as "osteopetrorickets". Osteoclast dysfunction leads to early death if untreated, and allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation is currently the treatment of choice. Studies of patients as well as of mouse models carrying spontaneous (the oc/oc mouse) or targeted disruption of Atp6i (TCIRG1) gene have been instrumental providing insight into disease pathogenesis and development of novel cellular therapies that exploit gene correction.

Abstract
Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) is a group of disease characterized by osteoclast dysfunction inhibiting bone resorption and bone turnover, with TCIRG1-associated ARO being more common leading to autosomal recessive infantile malignant osteopetrosis (OPTB1, MIM entry number # 259700). While most patients with TCIRG1-associated osteopetrosis present a malignant clinical course and shortened lifespan, a few cases of non-malignant TCIRG1-associated osteopetrosis have been reported. 24-year-old female patient came to us with limp gait, hip pain in both sides, and severe stiffness. She had suffered many fractures, bilateral hip osteoarthritis, right leg was 2 cm shorter compared with left leg. Whole Exome Sequencing was conducted, the result and subsequent Sanger's sequencing shown the patient had a compound heterozygous genotype at TCIRG1 (c.1194dup, p.Gly399ArgTer and c.334G>A, p.Gly112Arg), these two variants found were not previously reported. Sanger's sequencing revealed two other siblings whom suffer the same disorder had similar genotype to the proband; the parents were found to be heterozygous. This is the first case of TCIRG1-associated osteopetrosis reported in Vietnam and one of the few cases of nonmalignant TCIRG1-associated osteopetrosis, in which detailed clinical and genetic work-up were performed.

Abstract
Introduction and importance Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) is a group of disease characterized by osteoclast dysfunction inhibiting bone resorption and bone turnover, with TCIRG1-associated ARO leading to autosomal recessive infantile malignant osteopetrosis (OPTB1, MIM entry number # 259700). While most patients with TCIRG1-associated osteopetrosis present a malignant clinical course and shortened lifespan, a few cases of mild osteopetrosis associated with TCIRG1 have been reported recently. In this study we report a rare case of non-malignant TCIRG1-associated osteopetrosis, with detail clinical characterization, genetic analysis and underwent successful total hip replacement surgery. Case presentation 24-year-old female patient came to us with limp gait, hip pain in both sides, severe stiffness. She suffered multiple fractures, bilateral hip osteoarthritis, right leg was 2 cm shorter compared with left leg. The patient had a limp gait due to severe pain and leg length discrepancy. Clinical discussion Whole Exome Sequencing, result of genetic analysis shown the patient had a compound heterozygous genotype at TCIRG1 (c.1194dup, p.Gly399ArgTer and c.334G > A, p.Gly112Arg). Total hip replacement was performed. The joint exposure and femoral canal reaming was difficult due to complete deformity of femoral head, loss of canal and high bone density. Post-operation period was uneventful; the patient rehabilitated as planned without further complication. Conclusion This is the first case of TCIRG1-associated osteopetrosis reported in Vietnam and one of the few cases of non-malignant TCIRG1-associated osteopetrosis. This case report suggests that total hip replacement is a viable option for the treatment of hip osteoarthritis in patients with mild form osteopetrosis. This is the first case of TCIRG1-associated osteopetrosis reported in Vietnam with clinical and genetic workup. This study detailed the surgical processes as well as the rehabilitation period of a patient with mild form of osteopetrosis. Total hip arthroplasty is a feasible option for the treatment of hip osteoarthritis in osteopetrosis patients High bone density, brittle/fragile bone, deformed acetabulum, narrow or sealed femoral canal leads to difficulty in surgery.

Abstract
Osteopetrosis is a rare inherited disease characterized by impaired osteoclast activity causing defective bone resorption and bone marrow aplasia. It is fatal in early childhood unless hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is performed. But, the transplant course is complicated with engraftment failure. Recently, osteoclasts have been described as the potential regulators of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche. Here we investigated the alterations in the HSC and mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) components of osteopetrotic niche and their interactions to mimic the stem cell dynamics/trafficking in the BM niche after HSC transplantation. Induced pluripotent stem cells were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with osteopetrosis carrying TCIRG1 mutation. iPSC lines were differentiated into hematopoietic and myeloid progenitors, then into osteoclasts using a step-wise protocol. We first demonstrated a shift toward monocyte-macrophages lineage regarding hematopoietic differentiation potential of osteopetrotic iPSC-derived hematopoietic progenitors (HPCs) and phenotypically normal and functionally defective osteoclast formation. The expression of the genes involved in HSC homing and maintenance (Sdf-1, Jagged-1, Kit-L, and Opn) in osteopetrotic MSCs recovered significantly after coculture with healthy HPCs. Similarly, the restoration of phenotype, impaired differentiation, and migratory potential of osteopetrotic iHPCs were observed upon interaction with healthy MSCs. Our results establish significant alterations in both MSC and HPC compartments of the osteopetrotic niche, and support the impact of functionally impaired osteoclasts in defective niche formation.

Chu A, Zirngibl RA, Manolson MF. The V-ATPase a3 Subunit: Structure, Function and Therapeutic Potential of an Essential Biomolecule in Osteoclastic Bone Resorption. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22136934. [PMID: 34203247 PMCID: PMC8269383 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22136934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 06/18/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
This review focuses on one of the 16 proteins composing the V-ATPase complex responsible for resorbing bone: the a3 subunit. The rationale for focusing on this biomolecule is that mutations in this one protein account for over 50% of osteopetrosis cases, highlighting its critical role in bone physiology. Despite its essential role in bone remodeling and its involvement in bone diseases, little is known about the way in which this subunit is targeted and regulated within osteoclasts. To this end, this review is broadened to include the three other mammalian paralogues (a1, a2 and a4) and the two yeast orthologs (Vph1p and Stv1p). By examining the literature on all of the paralogues/orthologs of the V-ATPase a subunit, we hope to provide insight into the molecular mechanisms and future research directions specific to a3. This review starts with an overview on bone, highlighting the role of V-ATPases in osteoclastic bone resorption. We then cover V-ATPases in other location/functions, highlighting the roles which the four mammalian a subunit paralogues might play in differential targeting and/or regulation. We review the ways in which the energy of ATP hydrolysis is converted into proton translocation, and go in depth into the diverse role of the a subunit, not only in proton translocation but also in lipid binding, cell signaling and human diseases. Finally, the therapeutic implication of targeting a3 specifically for bone diseases and cancer is discussed, with concluding remarks on future directions.

Abstract
Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) is a severe inherited bone disease characterized by defective osteoclast resorption or differentiation. Clinical manifestations include dense and brittle bones, anemia and progressive nerve compression, which hamper the quality of patients' lives and cause death in the first 10 years of age. This Review describes the pathogenesis of ARO and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the current standard of care, namely hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Despite an improvement in the overall survival and outcomes of HSCT, transplant-related morbidity and the pre-existence of neurological symptoms significantly limit the success of HSCT, while the availability of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donors still remains an open issue. Novel therapeutic approaches are needed for ARO patients, especially for those that cannot benefit from HSCT. Here, we review preclinical and proof-of-concept studies, such as gene therapy, systematic administration of deficient protein, in utero HSCT and gene editing. Summary: Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis is a heterogeneous and rare bone disease for which effective treatments are still lacking for many patients. Here, we review the literature on clinical, preclinical and proof-of-concept studies.

V-ATPase a3 isoform mutations identified in osteopetrosis patients abolish its expression and disrupt osteoclast function. Exp Cell Res 2020; 389:111901. [PMID: 32045577 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2020.111901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2019] [Revised: 02/05/2020] [Accepted: 02/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
The a3 isoform of vacuolar-type proton-pumping ATPase (V-ATPase) is essential for bone resorption by osteoclasts. Although more than 90 mutations of the human a3 gene have been identified in patients with infantile malignant osteopetrosis, it is unclear whether they lead to osteoclast dysfunction. We have established an in vitro assay to induce osteoclasts from spleen macrophages derived from a3-knockout mice. Here, we examined the effects of these mutations in a3-knockout osteoclasts. We were interested in four mutations, two short deletions and two missense mutations, previously identified in the a3 cytosolic domain. a3 harboring either of the two short deletions was hardly expressed in osteoclasts and calcium phosphate resorption was impaired. On the other hand, osteoclasts expressing a3 with either of the two missense mutations exhibited no defects. Specifically, expression levels of the mutant proteins, V-ATPase assembly, and calcium phosphate resorption activity were similar to those of the wild type. Moreover, these missense mutants interacted with Rab7, a small GTPase that regulates lysosomal trafficking. These results suggest that the short deletions impair a3 expression and thus disrupt V-ATPase subunit assembly essential for bone resorption, while the missense mutations do not cause osteoclast dysfunction without an additional mutation(s) or impair resorption of bone, but not of calcium phosphate.
