Pumping the Breaks on Acantholytic Skin Disorders: Targeting Calcium Pumps, Desmosomes, and Downstream Signaling in Darier, Hailey-Hailey, and Grover Disease. J Invest Dermatol 2024:S0022-202X(24)01925-0. [PMID: 39207315 DOI: 10.1016/j.jid.2024.06.1289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Acantholytic skin disorders, by definition, compromise intercellular adhesion between epidermal keratinocytes. The root cause of blistering in these diseases traces back to direct disruption of adhesive cell-cell junctions, exemplified by autoantibody-mediated attack on desmosomes in pemphigus. However, genetic acantholytic disorders originate from more indirect mechanisms. Darier disease and Hailey-Hailey disease arise from mutations in the endoplasmic reticulum calcium pump, SERCA2, and the Golgi calcium/manganese pump, SPCA1, respectively. Though the disease-causing mutations have been known for nearly 25 years, the mechanistic linkage between dysregulation of intracellular ion stores and weakening of cell-cell junctions at the plasma membrane remains puzzling. The molecular underpinnings of a related idiopathic disorder, Grover disease, are even less understood. Due to an incomplete understanding of acantholytic pathology at the molecular level, these disorders lack proven, targeted treatment options, leaving patients with the significant physical and psychological burdens of chronic skin blistering, infections, and pain. This article aims to review what is known at the molecular, cellular, and clinical levels regarding these under-studied disorders and to highlight knowledge gaps and promising ongoing research. Armed with this knowledge, our goal is to aid investigators in defining essential questions about disease pathogenesis and to accelerate progress toward novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have described an arrhythmic mechanism seen only in cardiomyopathy that involves increased mitochondrial Ca2+ handling and selective transfer of Ca2+ to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Modeling suggested that mitochondrial Ca2+ transfer to the SR via type 2a sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2a) is a crucial element of this arrhythmic mechanism. OBJECTIVE We tested the role of SERCA2a in arrhythmias during ischemic cardiomyopathy. METHODS Myocardial infarction (MI) was induced in wild-type (Wt) and SERCA2a heterozygous knockdown (SERCA+/-) mice. RESULTS Compared with Wt MI mice, SERCA2a heterozygous knockdown (SERCA+/-) MI mice had a substantially lower mortality after 3 weeks of MI without a significant change in MI area. Aside from a significant delay of the cytoplasmic Ca2+ transient decay existed in SERCA+/- compared with Wt, SERCA+/- did not affect cardiac systolic and diastolic function at the whole organ or single cell levels either before or after MI. After MI, SERCA+/- mice had reduced SERCA2a expression in the MI border zone compared with Wt MI mice. SERCA+/- mice had significantly decreased corrected QT intervals and less ventricular tachycardia compared with Wt MI mice. SERCA+/- cardiomyocytes from MI mice showed a reduced action potential duration and reduced triggered activity compared with Wt MI cardiomyocytes. Reduction in arrhythmic risk was accompanied by reduced diastolic SR Ca2+ sparks, reduced SR Ca2+ content, reduced oxidized ryanodine receptor, and increased calsequestrin 2 in SERCA+/- MI mice. CONCLUSION SERCA2a knockdown was antiarrhythmic after MI without affecting overall systolic performance. Possible antiarrhythmic mechanisms included reduced SR free Ca2+ and reduced diastolic SR Ca2+ release.

Abstract
Darier (Darier-White) disease (DD) is an autosomal dominant skin disorder caused by pathogenic mutations in the ATP2A2 gene which encodes a calcium ATPase in the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum (SERCA2). Defects in the SERCA2 protein leads to an impairment of cellular calcium homeostasis, which in turn, triggers cell death pathways. There is a high prevalence of neuropsychiatric disorders in patients affected by this condition, namely intellectual disability, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and suicidality. Though these associations have been well-documented over the years, little has been discussed or investigated regarding the pathophysiological mechanisms. The goal of this article is to review the literature related to the most commonly associated neuropsychiatric disorders found in patients with DD, highlight the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying each condition, and examine potential interventions that may be of interest for future development. A literature search was performed using PubMed to access and review relevant articles published in the last 40 years. Keywords searched included Darier disease neuropsychiatric, Darier disease pathophysiology, SERCA2 central nervous system, SERCA 2 skin, ATP2A2 central nervous system, ATP2A2 skin, sphingosine-1-phosphate signaling skin, sphingosine-1-phosphate signaling central nervous system, P2X7 receptor skin, and P2X7 receptor central nervous system. Our search resulted in 2,692 articles, of which 61 articles were ultimately included in this review.

Abstract
Human data supporting a role for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and calcium dyshomeostasis in heart disease is scarce. Darier disease (DD) is a hereditary skin disease caused by mutations in the ATP2A2 gene encoding the sarcoendoplasmic-reticulum Ca2+ ATPase isoform 2 (SERCA2), which causes calcium dyshomeostasis and ER stress. We hypothesized that DD patients would have an increased risk for common heart disease. We performed a cross-sectional case-control clinical study on 25 DD patients and 25 matched controls; and a population-based cohort study on 935 subjects with DD and matched comparison subjects. Main outcomes and measures were N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, ECG and heart diagnosis (myocardial infarction, heart failure and arrythmia). DD subjects showed normal clinical heart phenotype including heart failure markers and ECG. The risk for heart failure was 1.59 (1,16-2,19) times elevated in DD subjects, while no major differences were found in myocardial infarcation or arrhythmias. Risk for heart failure when corrected for cardivascular risk factors or alcohol misuse was 1.53 (1.11-2.11) and 1.58 (1,15-2,18) respectively. Notably, heart failure occurred several years earlier in DD patients as compared to controls. We conclude that DD patients show a disease specific increased risk of heart failure which should be taken into account in patient management. The observation also strenghtens the clinical evidence on the important role of SERCA2 in heart failure pathophysiology.

Abstract
Calcium ions (Ca2+) are prominent cell signaling effectors that regulate a wide variety of cellular processes. Among the different players in Ca2+ homeostasis, primary active Ca2+ transporters are responsible for keeping low basal Ca2+ levels in the cytosol while establishing steep Ca2+ gradients across intracellular membranes or the plasma membrane. This review summarizes our current knowledge on the three types of primary active Ca2+-ATPases: the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) pumps, the secretory pathway Ca2+- ATPase (SPCA) isoforms, and the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) Ca2+-transporters. We first discuss the Ca2+ transport mechanism of SERCA1a, which serves as a reference to describe the Ca2+ transport of other Ca2+ pumps. We further highlight the common and unique features of each isoform and review their structure-function relationship, expression pattern, regulatory mechanisms, and specific physiological roles. Finally, we discuss the increasing genetic and in vivo evidence that links the dysfunction of specific Ca2+-ATPase isoforms to a broad range of human pathologies, and highlight emerging therapeutic strategies that target Ca2+ pumps.

Abstract
Background Darier disease (DD) is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by skin lesions. Additionally, a wide range of neuropsychiatric symptoms is frequently reported in DD patients. This genodermatosis relies on mutations in the ATPase sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ transporting 2 (ATP2A2) gene, which encodes an ATPase responsible for pumping Ca2+ from the cytosol to the lumen of the ER. Objective Herein we studied the molecular aspect of a two-generation Portuguese family with DD history with clinical variability. Methods All exons and intron-exon borders of genomic ATP2A2, as well as coding ATP2A2, were sequenced. Relative levels of SERCA2 mRNA and protein were quantified by qPCR and western blotting, respectively. Results The c.1287+1G > T variant was identified in all affected individuals, whereas the unaffected individual was shown to carry the wild-type ATP2A2 sequence in both alleles. This variant leads to the skipping of full exon 10, which consequently generates a frameshift originating a premature STOP codon in exon 11 (p.V395 = fs*19). Although the mutant mRNA seems to partially escape degradation, results suggest synthesis inhibition or immediate degradation of the mutant protein. Neuropsychiatric and other occurrences affecting certain patients are also reported. Conclusion This is the first study of DD in Portugal, the variant identified, previously described in a single Japanese patient, may be considered a pathogenic mutation, and haploinsufficiency the mechanism underlying DD pathology in these patients. This study also highlights the co-occurrence of neuropsychiatric features in DD.

Abstract
AIMS Mutations in desmosomal proteins can induce arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with life-threatening arrhythmia. Previous data demonstrated adrenergic signalling to be important to regulate desmosomal cohesion in cardiac myocytes. Here, we investigated how signalling pathways including adrenergic signalling, PKC and SERCA regulate desmosomal adhesion and how this controls gap junctions (GJs) in cardiac myocytes. METHODS Immunostaining, Western blot, dissociation assay and multi-electrode array were applied in HL-1 cardiac myocytes to evaluate localization, expression and function of desmosomal and GJ components. cAMP levels were determined by ELISA. RESULTS Activation of PKC by PMA or adrenergic signalling increased cell cohesion and desmoglein-2 and desmoplakin localization at cell-cell junctions, whereas tryptophan (Trp) treatment to inhibit cadherin binding or inhibition of SERCA by thapsigargin reduced cell cohesion, while cAMP elevation rescued this effect. Despite no changes in protein expression, accumulation of GJ protein connexin-43 was detectable at cell-cell contacts in parallel to increased cohesion. Disruption of cell cohesion by Trp, PMA or thapsigargin impaired conduction of excitation comparable to GJ inhibition. cAMP elevation was effective to improve arrhythmia after Trp treatment. Weakened cell cohesion by Trp or depletion of desmoglein-2 or plakoglobin blocked signalling via the β1-adrenergic receptor. Moreover, silencing of desmosomal proteins increased arrhythmia and reduced conduction velocity, which were rescued by cAMP elevation. CONCLUSION These data demonstrate the interplay of GJs, desmosomes and the β1-adrenergic receptor with regulation of their function by cell cohesion, adrenergic and PKC signalling or SERCA inhibition. These results support the identification of new targets to treat arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase is responsible for transporting cytosolic calcium into the sarcoplasmic reticulum and endoplasmic reticulum to maintain calcium homeostasis. Sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase is the dominant isoform expressed in cardiac tissue, which is regulated by endogenous protein inhibitors, post-translational modifications, hormones as well as microRNAs. Dysfunction of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase is associated with heart failure, which makes sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase a promising target for heart failure therapy. This review summarizes current approaches to ameliorate sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase function and focuses on phospholamban, an endogenous inhibitor of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase, pharmacological tools and gene therapies.

Abstract
Darier disease and Acrokeratosis Verruciformis of Hopf (AKV) are rare disorders of keratinization with autosomal dominant inheritance and very distinct clinical pictures. Both have been shown to be caused by mutations in ATP2A2 (ATPase, Ca++ transporting, cardiac muscle, slow-twitch) a gene encoding one of the SERCA (sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase2) intracellular pumps with a crucial role in cell-to-cell adhesion in both skin and heart. While hundreds of different missense and nonsense mutations cause Darier disease, only one missense mutation, p.(Pro602Leu), has been identified in families with AKV. We report a family with AKV due to the p.(Pro602Leu) mutation and discuss implications for this recurrent mutation on knowledge of ATP2A2 structure and function.

Abstract
The sarcoendoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) ATPase 2 (SERCA2) pump is a P-type ATPase tasked with the maintenance of ER Ca(2+) stores. Whereas β-cell SERCA2 expression is reduced in diabetes, the role of SERCA2 in the regulation of whole-body glucose homeostasis has remained uncharacterized. To this end, SERCA2 heterozygous mice (S2HET) were challenged with a high-fat diet (HFD) containing 45% of kilocalories from fat. After 16 weeks of the HFD, S2HET mice were hyperglycemic and glucose intolerant, but adiposity and insulin sensitivity were not different between HFD-fed S2HET mice and HFD-fed wild-type controls. Consistent with a defect in β-cell function, insulin secretion, glucose-induced cytosolic Ca(2+) mobilization, and the onset of steady-state glucose-induced Ca(2+) oscillations were impaired in HFD-fed S2HET islets. Moreover, HFD-fed S2HET mice exhibited reduced β-cell mass and proliferation, altered insulin production and proinsulin processing, and increased islet ER stress and death. In contrast, SERCA2 activation with a small molecule allosteric activator increased ER Ca(2+) storage and rescued tunicamycin-induced β-cell death. In aggregate, these data suggest a critical role for SERCA2 and the regulation of ER Ca(2+) homeostasis in the β-cell compensatory response to diet-induced obesity.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy and is associated with a number of potential outcomes, including impaired diastolic function, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. Various etiologies have been described for HCM, including pressure overload and mutations in sarcomeric and non-sarcomeric genes. However, the molecular pathogenesis of HCM remains incompletely understood. In this study, we performed comparative transcriptome analysis to identify dysregulated genes common to five mouse HCM models of differing etiology: (i) mutation of myosin heavy chain 6, (ii) mutation of tropomyosin 1, (iii) expressing human phospholamban on a null background, (iv) knockout of frataxin, and (v) transverse aortic constriction. Gene-by-gene comparison identified five genes dysregulated in all five HCM models. Glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 (Gstk1) was significantly downregulated in the five models, whereas myosin heavy chain 7 (Myh7), connective tissue growth factor (Ctgf), periostin (Postn), and reticulon 4 (Rtn4) were significantly upregulated. Gene ontology comparison revealed that 51 cellular processes were significantly enriched in genes dysregulated in each transcriptome dataset. Among them, six processes (oxidative stress, aging, contraction, developmental process, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation) were related to four of the five genes dysregulated in all HCM models. GSTK1 was related to oxidative stress only, whereas the other four genes were related to all six cell processes except MYH7 for oxidative stress. Gene–gene functional interaction network analysis suggested correlative expression of GSTK1, MYH7, and actin alpha 2 (ACTA2). To investigate the implications of Gstk1 downregulation for cardiac function, we knocked out gstk1 in zebrafish using the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/Cas9 system. We found that expression of the zebrafish homologs of MYH7, ACTA2, and actin alpha 1 were increased in the gstk1-knockout zebrafish. In vivo imaging of zebrafish expressing a fluorescent protein in cardiomyocytes showed that gstk1 deletion significantly decreased the end diastolic volume and, to a lesser extent, end systolic volume. These results suggest that downregulation of GSTK1 may be a common mechanism underlying HCM of various etiologies, possibly through increasing oxidative stress and the expression of sarcomere genes.

Loss of Mouse P2Y6 Nucleotide Receptor Is Associated with Physiological Macrocardia and Amplified Pathological Cardiac Hypertrophy. J Biol Chem 2016; 291:15841-52.

Abstract
The study of the mechanisms leading to cardiac hypertrophy is essential to better understand cardiac development and regeneration. Pathological conditions such as ischemia or pressure overload can induce a release of extracellular nucleotides within the heart. We recently investigated the potential role of nucleotide P2Y receptors in cardiac development. We showed that adult P2Y4-null mice displayed microcardia resulting from defective cardiac angiogenesis. Here we show that loss of another P2Y subtype called P2Y6, a UDP receptor, was associated with a macrocardia phenotype and amplified pathological cardiac hypertrophy. Cardiomyocyte proliferation and size were increased in vivo in hearts of P2Y6-null neonates, resulting in enhanced postnatal heart growth. We then observed that loss of P2Y6 receptor enhanced pathological cardiac hypertrophy induced after isoproterenol injection. We identified an inhibitory effect of UDP on in vitro isoproterenol-induced cardiomyocyte hyperplasia and hypertrophy. The present study identifies mouse P2Y6 receptor as a regulator of cardiac development and cardiomyocyte function. P2Y6 receptor could constitute a therapeutic target to regulate cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Ca(2+)-ATPases belonging to the superfamily of P-type pumps play an important role in maintaining low, nanomolar cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels at rest and priming organellar stores, including the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and secretory vesicles with high levels of Ca(2+) for a wide range of signaling functions. In this review, we introduce the distinct subtypes of Ca(2+)-ATPases and their isoforms and splice variants and provide an overview of their specific cellular roles as they relate to genetic disorders and cancer, with a particular emphasis on recent findings on the secretory pathway Ca(2+)-ATPases (SPCA). Mutations in human ATP2A2, ATP2C1 genes, encoding housekeeping isoforms of the endoplasmic reticulum (SERCA2) and secretory pathway (SPCA1) pumps, respectively, confer autosomal dominant disorders of the skin, whereas mutations in other isoforms underlie various muscular, neurological, or developmental disorders. Emerging evidence points to an important function of dysregulated Ca(2+)-ATPase expression in cancers of the colon, lung, and breast where they may serve as markers of differentiation or novel targets for therapeutic intervention. We review the mechanisms underlying the link between calcium homeostasis and cancer and discuss the potential clinical relevance of these observations. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Calcium and Cell Fate. Guest Editors: Jacques Haiech, Claus Heizmann, Joachim Krebs, Thierry Capiod and Olivier Mignen.
