Wu D, Wu Z, Yao H, Yan X, Jiao Z, Liu Y, Zhang M, Wang D. Doxorubicin induces deglycosylation of cancer cell-intrinsic PD-1 by NGLY1. FEBS Lett 2024.

Abstract
Tumor cells can express the immune checkpoint protein programmed death-1 (PD-1), but how cancer cell-intrinsic PD-1 is regulated in response to cellular stresses remains largely unknown. Here, we uncover a unique mechanism by which the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (Dox) regulates cancer cell-intrinsic PD-1. Dox upregulates PD-1 mRNA while reducing PD-1 protein levels in tumor cells. Although Dox shortens the PD-1 half-life, it fails to directly induce PD-1 degradation. Instead, we observe that Dox promotes the interaction between peptide-N(4)-(N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase (NGLY1) and PD-1, facilitating NGLY1-mediated PD-1 deglycosylation and destabilization. The maintenance of PD-1 sensitizes tumor cells to Dox-mediated antiproliferative effects. Our study unveils a regulatory mechanism of PD-1 in response to Dox and highlights a potential role of cancer cell-intrinsic PD-1 in Dox-mediated antitumor effects.

Suzuki T. A commentary on 'Patient-derived gene and protein expression signatures of NGLY1 deficiency'. J Biochem 2024; 175:221-223. [PMID: 38156787 DOI: 10.1093/jb/mvad119] [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: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024] Open
Abstract
The cytosolic peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase; NGLY1 in human and PNG1 in budding yeast) is a deglycosylating enzyme widely conserved in eukaryotes. Initially, functional importance of this enzyme remained unknown as the png1Δ mutant in yeast did not exhibit any significant phenotypes. However, the discovery of NGLY1 deficiency, a rare genetic disorder with biallelic mutations in NGLY1 gene, prompted an intensification of research that has resulted in uncovering the significance of NGLY1 as well as the proteins under its influence that are involved in numerous cellular processes. A recent report by Rauscher et al. (Patient-derived gene and protein expression signatures of NGLY1 deficiency. J. Biochem. 2022; 171: 187-199) presented a comprehensive summary of transcriptome/proteome analyses of various cell types derived from NGLY1-deficient patients. The authors also provide a web application called 'NGLY1 browser', which will allow researchers to have access to a wealth of information on gene and protein expression signature for patients with NGLY1 deficiency.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION NGLY1-associated congenital disorder of deglycosylation (CDDG1: OMIM #615273) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by a functional impairment of endoplasmic reticulum in degradation of glycoproteins. Neurocognitive dysfunctions have been documented in patients with CDDG1; however, deteriorating phenotypes of affected individuals remain elusive. CASE PRESENTATION A Japanese boy with delayed psychomotor development showed ataxic movements from age 5 years and myoclonic seizures from age 12 years. Appetite loss, motor and cognitive decline became evident at age 12 years. Electrophysiological studies identified paroxysmal discharges on myoclonic seizure and a giant somatosensory evoked potential. Perampanel was effective for controlling myoclonic seizures. Exome sequencing revealed that the patient carried compound heterozygous variants in NGLY1, NM_018297.4: c.857G > A and c.-17_12del, which were inherited from mother and father, respectively. A literature review confirmed that myoclonic seizures were observed in 28.5% of patients with epilepsy. No other patients had progressive myoclonic epilepsy or cognitive decline in association with loss-of-function variations in NGLY1. CONCLUSION Our data provides evidence that a group of patients with CDDG1 manifest slowly progressive myoclonic epilepsy and cognitive decline during the long-term clinical course.

Abstract
Intestinal barrier dysfunction leads to inflammation and associated metabolic changes. However, the relative impact of gut bacteria versus non-bacterial insults on animal health in the context of barrier dysfunction is not well understood. Here, we establish that loss of Drosophila N-glycanase 1 (Pngl) in a specific intestinal cell type leads to gut barrier defects, causing starvation and JNK overactivation. These abnormalities, along with loss of Pngl in enterocytes and fat body, result in Foxo overactivation, leading to hyperactive innate immune response and lipid catabolism and thereby contributing to lethality. Germ-free rearing of Pngl mutants rescued their developmental delay but not lethality. However, raising Pngl mutants on isocaloric, fat-rich diets partially rescued lethality. Our data indicate that Pngl functions in Drosophila larvae to establish the gut barrier, and that the lethality caused by loss of Pngl is primarily mediated through non-bacterial induction of immune and metabolic abnormalities.

Abstract
N-glycanase 1 (NGLY1) deficiency is a debilitating, ultra-rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by loss of function of NGLY1, a cytosolic enzyme that deglycosylates other proteins. It is characterized by severe global developmental delay and/or intellectual disability, hyperkinetic movement disorder, transient elevation of transaminases, (hypo)alacrima and progressive, diffuse, length-dependent sensorimotor polyneuropathy. A prospective natural history study (NHS) was conducted to elucidate clinical features and disease course. Twenty-nine participants were enrolled (15 onsite, 14 remotely) and followed for up to 32 months, representing ~29% of the ~100 patients identified worldwide. Participants exhibited profound developmental delays, with almost all developmental quotients below 20 on the Mullen Scales of Early Learning, well below the normative score of 100. Increased difficulties with sitting and standing suggested decline in motor function over time. Most patients presented with (hypo)alacrima and reduced sweat response. Pediatric quality of life was poor except for emotional function. Language/communication and motor skill problems including hand use were reported by caregivers as the most bothersome symptoms. Levels of the substrate biomarker, GlcNAc-Asn (aspartylglucosamine; GNA), were consistently elevated in all participants over time, independent of age. Liver enzymes were elevated for some participants but improved especially in younger patients and did not reach levels indicating severe liver disease. Three participants died during the study period. Data from this NHS informs selection of endpoints and assessments for future clinical trials for NGLY1 deficiency interventions. Potential endpoints include GNA biomarker levels, neurocognitive assessments, autonomic and motor function (particularly hand use), (hypo)alacrima and quality of life.

Abstract
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) and mitochondrial disorders are multisystem disorders with overlapping symptomatology. Pathogenic variants in the PMM2 gene lead to abnormal N-linked glycosylation. This disruption in glycosylation can induce endoplasmic reticulum stress, contributing to the disease pathology. Although impaired mitochondrial dysfunction has been reported in some CDG, cellular bioenergetics has never been evaluated in detail in PMM2-CDG. This prompted us to evaluate mitochondrial function and autophagy/mitophagy in vitro in PMM2 patient-derived fibroblast lines of differing genotypes from our natural history study. We found secondary mitochondrial dysfunction in PMM2-CDG. This dysfunction was evidenced by decreased mitochondrial maximal and ATP-linked respiration, as well as decreased complex I function of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Our study also revealed altered autophagy in PMM2-CDG patient-derived fibroblast lines. This was marked by an increased abundance of the autophagosome marker LC3-II. Additionally, changes in the abundance and glycosylation of proteins in the autophagy and mitophagy pathways further indicated dysregulation of these cellular processes. Interestingly, serum sorbitol levels (a biomarker of disease severity) and the CDG severity score showed an inverse correlation with the abundance of the autophagosome marker LC3-II. This suggests that autophagy may act as a modulator of biochemical and clinical markers of disease severity in PMM2-CDG. Overall, our research sheds light on the complex interplay between glycosylation, mitochondrial function, and autophagy/mitophagy in PMM2-CDG. Manipulating mitochondrial dysfunction and alterations in autophagy/mitophagy pathways could offer therapeutic benefits when combined with existing treatments for PMM2-CDG.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation (ERAD) is a stringent quality control mechanism through which misfolded, unassembled and some native proteins are targeted for degradation to maintain appropriate cellular and organelle homeostasis. Several in vitro and in vivo ERAD-related studies have provided mechanistic insights into ERAD pathway activation and its consequent events; however, a majority of these have investigated the effect of ERAD substrates and their consequent diseases affecting the degradation process. In this review, we present all reported human single-gene disorders caused by genetic variation in genes that encode ERAD components rather than their substrates. Additionally, after extensive literature survey, we present various genetically manipulated higher cellular and mammalian animal models that lack specific components involved in various stages of the ERAD pathway.

Abstract
Intestinal barrier dysfunction leads to inflammation and associated metabolic changes. However, the relative impact of infectious versus non-infectious mechanisms on animal health in the context of barrier dysfunction is not well understood. Here, we establish that loss of Drosophila N -glycanase 1 (Pngl) leads to gut barrier defects, which cause starvation and increased JNK activity. These defects result in Foxo overactivation, which induces a hyperactive innate immune response and lipid catabolism, thereby contributing to lethality associated with loss of Pngl . Notably, germ-free rearing of Pngl mutants did not rescue lethality. In contrast, raising Pngl mutants on isocaloric, fat-rich diets improved animal survival in a dosage-dependent manner. Our data indicate that Pngl functions in Drosophila larvae to establish the gut barrier, and that the immune and metabolic consequences of loss of Pngl are primarily mediated through non-infectious mechanisms.

Abstract
PURPOSE NGLY1 Deficiency is an ultra-rare, multisystemic disease caused by biallelic pathogenic NGLY1 variants. The aims of this study were to (1) characterize the variants and clinical features of the largest cohort of NGLY1 Deficiency patients reported to date, and (2) estimate the incidence of this disorder. METHODS The Grace Science Foundation collected genotypic data from 74 NGLY1 Deficiency patients, of which 37 also provided phenotypic data. We analyzed NGLY1 variants and clinical features and estimated NGLY1 disease incidence in the United States (U.S.). RESULTS Analysis of patient genotypes, including 10 previously unreported NGLY1 variants, showed strong statistical enrichment for missense variants in the transglutaminase-like domain of NGLY1 (p < 1.96E-11). Caregivers reported global developmental delay, movement disorder, and alacrima in over 85% of patients. Some phenotypic differences were noted between males and females. Regression was reported for all patients over 14 years old by their caregivers. The calculated U.S. incidence of NGLY1 Deficiency was ~ 12 individuals born per year. CONCLUSION The estimated U.S. incidence of NGLY1 indicates the disease may be more common than the number of patients reported in the literature suggests. Given the low frequency of most variants and proportion of compound heterozygotes, genotype/phenotype correlations were not distinguishable.
