Liposome-encapsulated mannose-1-phosphate therapy improves global N-glycosylation in different congenital disorders of glycosylation. Mol Genet Metab 2024; 142:108487. [PMID: 38733638 PMCID: PMC11166087 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymgme.2024.108487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Phosphomannomutase 2 (PMM2) converts mannose-6-phospahate to mannose-1-phosphate; the substrate for GDP-mannose, a building block of the glycosylation biosynthetic pathway. Pathogenic variants in the PMM2 gene have been shown to be associated with protein hypoglycosylation causing PMM2-congenital disorder of glycosylation (PMM2-CDG). While mannose supplementation improves glycosylation in vitro, but not in vivo, we hypothesized that liposomal delivery of mannose-1-phosphate could increase the stability and delivery of the activated sugar to enter the targeted compartments of cells. Thus, we studied the effect of liposome-encapsulated mannose-1-P (GLM101) on global protein glycosylation and on the cellular proteome in skin fibroblasts from individuals with PMM2-CDG, as well as in individuals with two N-glycosylation defects early in the pathway, namely ALG2-CDG and ALG11-CDG. We leveraged multiplexed proteomics and N-glycoproteomics in fibroblasts derived from different individuals with various pathogenic variants in PMM2, ALG2 and ALG11 genes. Proteomics data revealed a moderate but significant change in the abundance of some of the proteins in all CDG fibroblasts upon GLM101 treatment. On the other hand, N-glycoproteomics revealed the GLM101 treatment enhanced the expression levels of several high-mannose and complex/hybrid glycopeptides from numerous cellular proteins in individuals with defects in PMM2 and ALG2 genes. Both PMM2-CDG and ALG2-CDG exhibited several-fold increase in glycopeptides bearing Man6 and higher glycans and a decrease in Man5 and smaller glycan moieties, suggesting that GLM101 helps in the formation of mature glycoforms. These changes in protein glycosylation were observed in all individuals irrespective of their genetic variants. ALG11-CDG fibroblasts also showed increase in high mannose glycopeptides upon treatment; however, the improvement was not as dramatic as the other two CDG. Overall, our findings suggest that treatment with GLM101 overcomes the genetic block in the glycosylation pathway and can be used as a potential therapy for CDG with enzymatic defects in early steps in protein N-glycosylation.

Revisiting the immunopathology of congenital disorders of glycosylation: an updated review. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1350101. [PMID: 38550576 PMCID: PMC10972870 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1350101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Glycosylation is a critical post-translational modification that plays a pivotal role in several biological processes, such as the immune response. Alterations in glycosylation can modulate the course of various pathologies, such as the case of congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG), a group of more than 160 rare and complex genetic diseases. Although the link between glycosylation and immune dysfunction has already been recognized, the immune involvement in most CDG remains largely unexplored and poorly understood. In this study, we provide an update on the immune dysfunction and clinical manifestations of the 12 CDG with major immune involvement, organized into 6 categories of inborn errors of immunity according to the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS). The immune involvement in phosphomannomutase 2 (PMM2)-CDG - the most frequent CDG - was comprehensively reviewed, highlighting a higher prevalence of immune issues during infancy and childhood and in R141H-bearing genotypes. Finally, using PMM2-CDG as a model, we point to links between abnormal glycosylation patterns in host cells and possibly favored interactions with microorganisms that may explain the higher susceptibility to infection. Further characterizing immunopathology and unusual host-pathogen adhesion in CDG can not only improve immunological standards of care but also pave the way for innovative preventive measures and targeted glycan-based therapies that may improve quality of life for people living with CDG.

Classic Galactosemia: Clinical and Computational Characterization of a Novel GALT Missense Variant (p.A303D) and a Literature Review. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:17388.

Abstract
Classic galactosemia is an autosomal recessive inherited liver disorder of carbohydrate metabolism caused by deficient activity of galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT). While a galactose-restricted diet is lifesaving, most patients still develop long-term complications. In this study, we report on a two-week-old female patient who is a compound heterozygote for a known pathogenic variant (p.K285N) and a novel missense variant (p.A303D) in the GALT gene. Segregation analysis showed that the patient inherited the p.K285N pathogenic variant from her father and the p.A303D variant from her mother. A bioinformatics analysis to predict the impact of the p.A303D missense variant on the structure and stability of the GALT protein revealed that it may be pathogenic. Based on this finding, we performed a literature review of all GALT missense variants identified in homozygous and compound heterozygous galactosemia patients carrying the p.K285N pathogenic variant to explore their molecular effects on the clinical phenotype of the disease. Our analysis revealed that these missense variants are responsible for a wide range of molecular defects. This study expands the clinical and mutational spectrum in classic galactosemia and reinforces the importance of understanding the molecular consequences of genetic variants to incorporate genetic analysis into clinical care.

Liver Involvement in Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation: A Systematic Review. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 2021; 73:444-454.

Abstract
An ever-increasing number of disturbances in glycosylation have been described to underlie certain unexplained liver diseases presenting either almost isolated or in a multi-organ context. We aimed to update previous literature screenings which had identified up to 23 forms of congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) with associated liver disease. We conducted a comprehensive literature search of three scientific electronic databases looking at articles published during the last 20 years (January 2000-October 2020). Eligible studies were case reports/series reporting liver involvement in CDG patients. Our systematic review led us to point out 41 forms of CDG where the liver is primarily affected (n = 7) or variably involved in a multisystem disease with mandatory neurological abnormalities (n = 34). Herein we summarize individual clinical and laboratory presentation characteristics of these 41 CDG and outline their main presentation and diagnostic cornerstones with the aid of two synoptic tables. Dietary supplementation strategies have hitherto been investigated only in seven of these CDG types with liver disease, with a wide range of results. In conclusion, the systematic review recognized a liver involvement in a somewhat larger number of CDG variants corresponding to about 30% of the total of CDG so far reported, and it is likely that the number may increase further. This information could assist in an earlier correct diagnosis and a possibly proper management of these disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nephrotic syndrome appears as a group of symptoms like proteinuria, edema and hyperlipidemia. Identification of monogenic forms revealed the physiology and pathogenesis of the SRNS. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed Illumina panel sequencing of seven genes in 90 Indian patients to determine the role of these genetic mutations in nephrotic syndrome prognosis. Samtool was used for variants calling, and SnpEff and Snpsift did variants annotation. Clinical significance and variant classification were performed by the ClinVar database. In SSNS and SRNS patients, we found 0.78% pathogenic and 3.41% likely pathogenic mutations. Pathogenic mutations were found in LAMB2, LMX1B and WT1 genes, while likely pathogenic mutations were found in (6/13) LAMB2, (2/13) LMX1B, (2/13) TRPC6, (2/13) PTPRO and (1/13) PMM2 genes. Approximately 46% likely pathogenic mutations were contributed to the LAMB2 gene in SSNS and SRNS patients. We also detect 30 VUS (variants of uncertain significance), which were found (17/30) pathogenic and (13/30) likely pathogenic by different prediction tools. CONCLUSIONS Multigene panels were used for genetic screening of heterogeneous disorders like nephrotic syndrome in the Indian population. We found pathogenic, likely pathogenic and certain VUS, which were responsible for the pathogenesis of the disease. Therefore, mutational analysis of SSNS and SRNS is necessary to avoid adverse effects of corticosteroids, modify the intensity of immunosuppressing agents, and prevent the disease's progression.

Abstract
Introduction: Childhood epilepsy is one of the most common neurological problems. The transferrin isoelectric focusing (TIEF) test is a screening test for congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG). We identified abnormal TIEF test in children with epilepsy in our epilepsy genetics clinic. To determine if an abnormal TIEF test is associated with anti-epileptic medications or abnormal liver functions, we performed a retrospective cohort study. Methods: This study was performed between January 2012 and March 2020. Electronic patient charts were reviewed. Standard non-parametric statistical tests were applied using R statistical software. Fischer’s exact test was used for comparisons. Results: There were 206 patients. The TIEF test was abnormal in 11% (23 out of 206) of the patients. Nine patients were diagnosed with CDG: PMM2-CDG (n = 5), ALG3-CDG (n = 1), ALG11-CDG (n = 2), SLC35A2-CDG (n = 1). We report 51 different genetic diseases in 84 patients. Two groups, (1) abnormal TIEF test; (2) normal TIEF test, showed statistically significant differences for abnormal liver functions and for valproic acid treatment. Conclusion: The TIEF test guided CDG diagnosis in 2.9% of the patients. Due to the high prevalence of CDG (4.4%) in childhood epilepsy, the TIEF test might be included into the diagnostic investigations to allow earlier and cost-effective diagnosis.

Abstract
We report on a Mexican mestizo with a multisystemic syndrome including neurological involvement and a type I serum transferrin isoelectric focusing (Tf IEF) pattern. Diagnosis of PMM2-CDG was obtained by clinical exome sequencing (CES) that revealed compound heterozygous variants in PMM2, the encoding gene for the phosphomannomutase 2 (PMM2). This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of mannose-6-P to mannose-1-P required for the synthesis of GDP-Man and Dol-P-Man, donor substrates for glycosylation reactions. The identified variants were c.422G>A (R141H) and c.178G>T, the former being the most frequent PMM2 pathogenic mutation and the latter a previously uncharacterized variant restricted to the Latino population with conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity and that we here report causes leaky non-functional alternative splicing (p.V60Cfs*3).

[PMID: 32991969 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2020.129751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 72] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2020] [Revised: 08/12/2020] [Accepted: 08/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are inherited metabolic diseases caused by defects in the genes important for the process of protein and lipid glycosylation. With the ever growing number of the known subtypes and discoveries regarding the disease mechanisms and therapy development, it remains a very active field of study. SCOPE OF REVIEW This review brings an update on the CDG-related research since 2017, describing the novel gene defects, pathobiomechanisms, biomarkers and the patients' phenotypes. We also summarize the clinical guidelines for the most prevalent disorders and the current therapeutical options for the treatable CDG. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS In the majority of the 23 new CDG, neurological involvement is associated with other organ disease. Increasingly, different aspects of cellular metabolism (e.g., autophagy) are found to be perturbed in multiple CDG. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE This work highlights the recent trends in the CDG field and comprehensively overviews the up-to-date clinical recommendations.

Identification through exome sequencing of the first PMM2-CDG individual of Mexican mestizo origin. Mol Genet Metab Rep 2020; 25:100637. [PMID: 32874916 PMCID: PMC7451422 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymgmr.2020.100637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2020] [Revised: 08/08/2020] [Accepted: 08/08/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) are scarcely reported from Latin America. We here report on a Mexican mestizo with a multi-systemic syndrome including neurological involvement and a type I transferrin (Tf) isoelectric focusing (IEF) pattern. Clinical exome sequencing (CES) showed known compound missense variants in PMM2 c.422G > A (p.R141H) and c.395 T > C (p.I132T), coding for the phosphomanomutase 2 (PMM2). PMM2 catalyzes the conversion of mannose-6-P to mannose-1-P required for the synthesis of GDP-Man and Dol-P-Man, donor substrates for glycosylation reactions. This is the third reported Mexican CDG patient and the first with PMM2-CDG. PMM2 has been recently identified as one of the top 10 genes carrying pathogenic variants in a Mexican population cohort.

Abstract
Glycosylation is an essential biological process that adds structural and functional diversity to cells and molecules, participating in physiological processes such as immunity. The immune response is driven and modulated by protein-attached glycans that mediate cell-cell interactions, pathogen recognition and cell activation. Therefore, abnormal glycosylation can be associated with deranged immune responses. Within human diseases presenting immunological defects are congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG), a family of around 130 rare and complex genetic diseases. In this review, we have identified 23 CDG with immunological involvement, characterized by an increased propensity to-often life-threatening-infection. Inflammatory and autoimmune complications were found in 7 CDG types. CDG natural history(ies) and the mechanisms behind the immunological anomalies are still poorly understood. However, in some cases, alterations in pathogen recognition and intracellular signaling (eg, TGF-β1, NFAT, and NF-κB) have been suggested. Targeted therapies to restore immune defects are only available for PGM3-CDG and SLC35C1-CDG. Fostering research on glycoimmunology may elucidate the involved pathophysiological mechanisms and open new therapeutic avenues, thus improving CDG patients' quality of life.
