Kovuru N, Mochizuki-Kashio M, Menna T, Jeffrey G, Hong Y, Me Yoon Y, Zhang Z, Kurre P. Deregulated protein homeostasis constrains fetal hematopoietic stem cell pool expansion in Fanconi anemia. Nat Commun 2024; 15:1852.

Abstract
Demand-adjusted and cell type specific rates of protein synthesis represent an important safeguard for fate and function of long-term hematopoietic stem cells. Here, we identify increased protein synthesis rates in the fetal hematopoietic stem cell pool at the onset of hematopoietic failure in Fanconi Anemia, a prototypical DNA repair disorder that manifests with bone marrow failure. Mechanistically, the accumulation of misfolded proteins in Fancd2-/- fetal liver hematopoietic stem cells converges on endoplasmic reticulum stress, which in turn constrains midgestational expansion. Restoration of protein folding by the chemical chaperone tauroursodeoxycholic acid, a hydrophilic bile salt, prevents accumulation of unfolded proteins and rescues Fancd2-/- fetal liver long-term hematopoietic stem cell numbers. We find that proteostasis deregulation itself is driven by excess sterile inflammatory activity in hematopoietic and stromal cells within the fetal liver, and dampened Type I interferon signaling similarly restores fetal Fancd2-/- long-term hematopoietic stem cells to wild type-equivalent numbers. Our study reveals the origin and pathophysiological trigger that gives rise to Fanconi anemia hematopoietic stem cell pool deficits. More broadly, we show that fetal protein homeostasis serves as a physiological rheostat for hematopoietic stem cell fate and function.

[PMID: 37834388 PMCID: PMC10573108 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241914940] [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: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 10/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Mice with a constitutive increase in p53 activity exhibited features of dyskeratosis congenita (DC), a bone marrow failure syndrome (BMFS) caused by defective telomere maintenance. Further studies confirmed, in humans and mice, that germline mutations affecting TP53 or its regulator MDM4 may cause short telomeres and alter hematopoiesis, but also revealed features of Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) or Fanconi anemia (FA), two BMFSs, respectively, caused by defects in ribosomal function or DNA repair. p53 downregulates several genes mutated in DC, either by binding to promoter sequences (DKC1) or indirectly via the DREAM repressor complex (RTEL1, DCLRE1B), and the p53-DREAM pathway represses 22 additional telomere-related genes. Interestingly, mutations in any DC-causal gene will cause telomere dysfunction and subsequent p53 activation to further promote the repression of p53-DREAM targets. Similarly, ribosomal dysfunction and DNA lesions cause p53 activation, and p53-DREAM targets include the DBA-causal gene TSR2, at least 9 FA-causal genes, and 38 other genes affecting ribosomes or the FA pathway. Furthermore, patients with BMFSs may exhibit brain abnormalities, and p53-DREAM represses 16 genes mutated in microcephaly or cerebellar hypoplasia. In sum, positive feedback loops and the repertoire of p53-DREAM targets likely contribute to partial phenotypic overlaps between BMFSs of distinct molecular origins.

Abstract
p53 (encoded by Trp53) is a tumor suppressor, but mouse models have revealed that increased p53 activity may cause bone marrow failure, likely through dimerization partner, RB-like, E2F4/E2F5 and MuvB (DREAM) complex-mediated gene repression. Here, we designed a systematic approach to identify p53-DREAM pathway targets, the repression of which might contribute to abnormal hematopoiesis. We used Gene Ontology analysis to study transcriptomic changes associated with bone marrow cell differentiation, then chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) data to identify DREAM-bound promoters. We next created positional frequency matrices to identify evolutionary conserved sequence elements potentially bound by DREAM. The same approach was developed to find p53-DREAM targets associated with brain abnormalities, also observed in mice with increased p53 activity. Putative DREAM-binding sites were found for 151 candidate target genes, of which 106 are mutated in a blood or brain genetic disorder. Twenty-one DREAM-binding sites were tested and found to impact gene expression in luciferase assays, to notably regulate genes mutated in dyskeratosis congenita (Rtel1), Fanconi anemia (Fanca), Diamond-Blackfan anemia (Tsr2), primary microcephaly [Casc5 (or Knl1), Ncaph and Wdr62] and pontocerebellar hypoplasia (Toe1). These results provide clues on the role of the p53-DREAM pathway in regulating hematopoiesis and brain development, with implications for tumorigenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The DEAD-box family is essential for tumorigenesis and embryogenesis. Previously, we linked the malfunction of DDX (DEAD-box RNA helicase)-24 to a special type of vascular malformation. Here, we aim to investigate the function of DDX24 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and embryonic vascular development. METHODS Cardiomyocyte (CMC) and VSMC-specific Ddx24 knockout mice were generated by crossing Tagln-Cre mice with Ddx24flox/flox transgenic mice. The development of blood vessels was explored by stereomicroscope photography and immunofluorescence staining. Flow cytometry and cell proliferation assays were used to verify the regulation of DDX24 on the function of VSMCs. RNA sequencing and RNA immunoprecipitation coupled with quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were combined to investigate DDX24 downstream regulatory molecules. RNA pull-down and RNA stability experiments were performed to explore the regulation mechanism of DDX24. RESULTS CMC/VSMC-specific Ddx24 knockout mice died before embryonic day 13.5 with defects in vessel formation and abnormal vascular remodeling in extraembryonic tissues. Ddx24 knockdown suppressed VSMC proliferation via cell cycle arrest, likely due to increased DNA damage. DDX24 protein bound to and stabilized the mRNA of FANCA (FA complementation group A) that responded to DNA damage. Consistent with the function of DDX24, depletion of FANCA also impacted cell cycle and DNA repair of VSMCs. Overexpression of FANCA was able to rescue the alterations caused by DDX24 deficiency. CONCLUSIONS Our study unveiled a critical role of DDX24 in VSMC-mediated vascular development, highlighting a potential therapeutic target for VSMC-related pathological conditions.

Abstract
Cell signal transduction mediated by cell surface ligand-receptor is crucial for regulating cell behavior. The oligomerization or hetero-aggregation of the membrane receptor driven by the ligand realizes the rearrangement of apoptotic signals, providing a new ideal tool for tumor therapy. However, the construction of a stable model of cytomembrane receptor aggregation and the development of a universal anti-tumor therapy model on the cellular surface remain challenging. This work describes the construction of a "multi-catcher" flexible structure GC-chol-apt-cDNA with a suitable integration of the oligonucleotide aptamer (apt) and cholesterol (chol) on a polymer skeleton glycol chitosan (GC), for the regulation of the nucleolin cluster through strong polyvalent binding and hydrophobic membrane anchoring on the cell surface. This oligonucleotide aptamer shows nearly 100-fold higher affinity than that of the monovalent aptamer and achieves stable anchoring to the plasma membrane for up to 6 h. Moreover, it exerts a high tumor inhibition both in vitro and in vivo by activating endogenous mitochondrial apoptosis pathway through the cluster of nucleolins on the cell membrane. This multi-catcher nano-platform combines the spatial location regulation of cytomembrane receptors with the intracellular apoptotic signaling cascade and represents a promising strategy for antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare inherited disorder that mainly affects the bone marrow. This condition causes decreased production of all types of blood cells. FA is caused by a defective repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks and to date, mutations in over 20 genes have been linked to the disease. Advances in science and molecular biology have provided new insight between FA gene mutations and the severity of clinical manifestations. Here, we will highlight the current and promising therapeutic options for this rare disease. The current standard treatment for FA patients is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, a treatment associated to exposure to radiation or chemotherapy, immunological complications, plus opportunistic infections from prolonged immune incompetence or increased risk of morbidity. New arising treatments include gene addition therapy, genome editing using CRISPR-Cas9 nuclease, and hematopoietic stem cell generation from induced pluripotent stem cells. Finally, we will also discuss the revolutionary developments in mRNA therapeutics as an opportunity for this disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reside in the bone marrow (BM) niche, which includes bone-forming and bone-resorbing cells, i.e., osteoblasts (OBs) and osteoclasts (OCs). OBs originate from mesenchymal progenitors, while OCs are derived from HSCs. Self-renewal, proliferation and differentiation of HSCs are under the control of regulatory signals generated by OBs and OCs within the BM niche. Consequently, OBs and OCs control both bone physiology and hematopoiesis. Since the human developmental and bone marrow failure genetic syndrome fanconi anemia (FA) presents with skeletal abnormalities, osteoporosis and HSC impairment, we wanted to test the hypothesis that the main pathological abnormalities of FA could be related to a defect in OC physiology and/or in bone homeostasis. RESULTS We revealed here that the intrinsic differentiation of OCs from a Fanca-/- mouse is impaired in vitro due to overactivation of the p53-p21 axis and defects in NF-kB signaling. The OC differentiation abnormalities observed in vitro were rescued by treating Fanca-/- cells with the p53 inhibitor pifithrin-α, by treatment with the proinflammatory cytokine TNFα or by coculturing them with Fanca-proficient or Fanca-deficient osteoblastic cells. CONCLUSIONS Overall, our results highlight an unappreciated role of Fanca in OC differentiation that is potentially circumvented in vivo by the presence of OBs and TNFα in the BM niche.

Abstract
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by bone marrow failure and aplastic anemia. So far, 23 genes are involved in this pathology, and their mutations lead to a defect in DNA repair. In recent years, it has been observed that FA cells also display mitochondrial metabolism defects, causing an accumulation of intracellular lipids and oxidative damage. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in the metabolic alterations have not yet been elucidated. In this work, by using lymphoblasts and fibroblasts mutated for the FANC-A gene, oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) and mitochondria dynamics markers expression was analyzed. Results show that the metabolic defect does not depend on an altered expression of the proteins involved in OxPhos. However, FA cells are characterized by increased uncoupling protein UCP2 expression. FANC-A mutation is also associated with DRP1 overexpression that causes an imbalance in the mitochondrial dynamic toward fission and lower expression of Parkin and Beclin1. Treatment with P110, a specific inhibitor of DRP1, shows a partial mitochondrial function recovery and the decrement of DRP1 and UCP2 expression, suggesting a pivotal role of the mitochondrial dynamics in the etiopathology of Fanconi anemia.

Abstract
R-loops, or RNA:DNA hybrids, can induce DNA damage, which requires DNA repair factors including breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1) to restore genomic integrity. To date, several pathogenic mutations have been found within the tandem BRCA1 carboxyl-terminal (BRCT) domains that mediate BRCA1 interactions with proteins and DNA in response to DNA damage. Here, we describe a nonrepair role of BRCA1 BRCT in suppressing ribosomal R-loops via two mechanisms. Through its RNA binding and annealing activities, BRCA1 BRCT facilitates the formation of double-stranded RNA between ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and antisense-rRNA (as-rRNA), hereby minimizing rRNA hybridization to ribosomal DNA to form R-loops. BRCA1 BRCT also promotes RNA polymerase I-dependent transcription of as-rRNA to enhance double-stranded rRNA (ds-rRNA) formation. In addition, BRCA1 BRCT-mediated as-rRNA production restricts rRNA maturation in unperturbed cells. Hence, impairing as-rRNA transcription and ds-rRNA formation due to BRCA1 BRCT deficiency deregulates rRNA processing and increases ribosomal R-loops and DNA breaks. Our results link ribosomal biogenesis dysfunction to BRCA1-associated genomic instability.

KLF16 enhances stress tolerance of colorectal carcinomas by modulating nucleolar homeostasis and translational reprogramming. Mol Ther 2022; 30:2828-2843. [PMID: 35524408 PMCID: PMC9372374 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymthe.2022.04.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2021] [Revised: 04/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Translational reprogramming is part of the unfolded protein response (UPR) during endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which acts to the advantage of cancer growth and development in different stress conditions. But the mechanism of ER stress-related translational reprogramming in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) progression remains unclear. Here, we identified that Krüppel-Like Factor 16 (KLF16) can promote CRC progression and stress tolerance through translational reprogramming. The expression of KLF16 was upregulated in CRC tissues and associated with poor prognosis for CRC patients. We found that ER stress inducers can recruit KLF16 to the nucleolus and increase its interaction with two essential proteins for nucleolar homeostasis, nucleophosmin1 (NPM1) and fibrillarin (FBL). Moreover, knockdown of KLF16 can dysregulate nucleolar homeostasis in CRC cells. Translation-reporter system and polysome profiling assays further showed that KLF16 can effectively promote cap-independent translation of ATF4, which can enhance ER-phagy and proliferation of CRC cells. Overall, our study unveils a previously unrecognized role for KLF16 as an ER stress regulator through mediating translational reprogramming to enhance stress tolerance of CRC cells and provides a potential therapeutic vulnerability.

Abstract
Described by Guido Fanconi almost 100 years ago, Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disease characterized by developmental abnormalities, bone marrow failure (BMF) and cancer predisposition. The proteins encoded by FA-mutated genes (FANC proteins) and assembled in the so-called FANC/BRCA pathway have key functions in DNA repair and replication safeguarding, which loss leads to chromosome structural aberrancies. Therefore, since the 1980s, FA has been considered a genomic instability and chromosome fragility syndrome. However, recent findings have demonstrated new and unexpected roles of FANC proteins in nucleolar homeostasis and ribosome biogenesis, the alteration of which impacts cellular proteostasis. Here, we review the different cellular, biochemical and molecular anomalies associated with the loss of function of FANC proteins and discuss how these anomalies contribute to BMF by comparing FA to other major inherited BMF syndromes. Our aim is to determine the extent to which alterations in the DNA damage response in FA contribute to BMF compared to the consequences of the loss of function of the FANC/BRCA pathway on the other roles of the pathway.

Abstract
Although the link between DNA damage and aging is well accepted, the role of different DNA repair proteins on functional/physiological aging is not well-defined. Here, using Caenorhabditis elegans, we systematically examined the effect of three DNA repair genes involved in key genome stability pathways. We assayed multiple health proxies including molecular, functional and resilience measures to define healthspan. Loss of XPF-1/ERCC-1, a protein involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER), homologous recombination (HR) and interstrand crosslink (ICL) repair, showed the highest impairment of functional and stress resilience measures along with a shortened lifespan. brc-1 mutants, with a well-defined role in HR and ICL are short-lived and highly sensitive to acute stressors, specifically oxidative stress. In contrast, ICL mutant, fcd-2 did not impact lifespan or most healthspan measures. Our efforts also uncover that DNA repair mutants show high sensitivity to oxidative stress with age, suggesting that this measure could act as a primary proxy for healthspan. Together, these data suggest that impairment of multiple DNA repair genes can drive functional/physiological aging. Further studies to examine specific DNA repair genes in a tissue specific manner will help dissect the importance and mechanistic role of these repair systems in biological aging.

Abstract
The tumor suppressor p53 is critical for preventing neoplastic transformation and tumor progression. Inappropriate activation of p53, however, has been observed in a number of human inherited disorders that most often affect development of the brain, craniofacial region, limb skeleton, and hematopoietic system. Genes related to these developmental disorders are essentially involved in transcriptional regulation/chromatin remodeling, rRNA metabolism, DNA damage-repair pathways, telomere maintenance, and centrosome biogenesis. Perturbation of these activities or cellular processes may result in p53 accumulation in cell cultures, animal models, and perhaps humans as well. Mouse models of several p53 activation-associated disorders essentially recapitulate human traits, and inactivation of p53 in these models can alleviate disorder-related phenotypes. In the present review, we focus on how dysfunction of the aforementioned biological processes causes developmental defects via excessive p53 activation. Notably, several disease-related genes exert a pleiotropic effect on those cellular processes, which may modulate the magnitude of p53 activation and establish or disrupt regulatory loops. Finally, we discuss potential therapeutic strategies for genetic disorders associated with p53 misactivation.

Abstract
Fanconi anaemia (FA) is the most frequent inherited bone marrow failure syndrome, due to mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in replication fork protection, DNA interstrand crosslink repair and replication rescue through inducing double-strand break repair and homologous recombination. Clinically, FA is characterised by aplastic anaemia, congenital defects and cancer predisposition. In in vitro studies, FA cells presented hallmarks defining senescent cells, including p53-p21 axis activation, altered telomere length, mitochondrial dysfunction, chromatin alterations, and a pro-inflammatory status. Senescence is a programme leading to proliferation arrest that is involved in different physiological contexts, such as embryogenesis, tissue remodelling and repair and guarantees tumour suppression activity. However, senescence can become a driving force for developmental abnormalities, aging and cancer. Herein, we summarise the current knowledge in the field to highlight the mutual relationships between FA and senescence that lead us to consider FA not only as a DNA repair and chromosome fragility syndrome but also as a "senescence syndrome".
