Cathepsin D inhibition during neuronal differentiation selectively affects individual proteins instead of overall protein turnover. Biochimie 2024:S0300-9084(24)00071-3.

Abstract
Cathepsin D (CTSD) is a lysosomal aspartic protease and its inherited deficiency causes a severe pediatric neurodegenerative disease called neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) type 10. The lysosomal dysfunction in the affected patients leads to accumulation of undigested lysosomal cargo especially in none-dividing cells, such as neurons, resulting in death shortly after birth. To explore which proteins are mainly affected by the lysosomal dysfunction due to CTSD deficiency, Lund human mesencephalic (LUHMES) cells, capable of inducible dopaminergic neuronal differentiation, were treated with Pepstatin A. This inhibitor of "acidic" aspartic proteases caused accumulation of acidic intracellular vesicles in differentiating LUHMES cells. Pulse-chase experiments involving stable isotope labelling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) with subsequent mass-spectrometric protein identification and quantification were performed. By this approach, we studied the degradation and synthesis rates of 695 and 680 proteins during early and late neuronal LUHMES differentiation, respectively. Interestingly, lysosomal bulk proteolysis was not altered upon Pepstatin A treatment. Instead, the protease inhibitor selectively changed the turnover of individual proteins. Especially proteins belonging to the mitochondrial energy supply system were differentially degraded during early and late neuronal differentiation indicating a high energy demand as well as stress level in LUHMES cells treated with Pepstatin A.

Tripeptidyl peptidase II coordinates the homeostasis of calcium and lipids in the central nervous system and its depletion causes presenile dementia in female mice through calcium/lipid dyshomeostasis-induced autophagic degradation of CYP19A1. Theranostics 2024; 14:1390-1429. [PMID: 38389851 PMCID: PMC10879859 DOI: 10.7150/thno.92571] [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: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Tripeptidyl peptidase II (TPP2) has been proven to be related to human immune and neurological diseases. It is generally considered as a cytosolic protein which forms the largest known protease complex in eukaryotic cells to operate mostly downstream of proteasomes for degradation of longer peptides. However, this canonical function of TPP2 cannot explain its role in a wide variety of biological and pathogenic processes. The mechanistic interrelationships and hierarchical order of these processes have yet to be clarified. Methods: Animals, cells, plasmids, and viruses established and/or used in this study include: TPP2 knockout mouse line, TPP2 conditional knockout mouse lines (different neural cell type oriented), TRE-TPP2 knockin mouse line on the C57BL/6 background; 293T cells with depletion of TPP2, ATF6, IRE1, PERK, SYVN1, UCHL1, ATG5, CEPT1, or CCTα, respectively; 293T cells stably expressing TPP2, TPP2 S449A, TPP2 S449T, or CCTα-KDEL proteins on the TPP2-depleted background; Plasmids for eukaryotic transient expression of rat CYP19A1-Flag, CYP19A1 S118A-Flag, CYP19A1 S118D-Flag, Sac I ML GFP Strand 11 Long, OMMGFP 1-10, G-CEPIA1er, GCAMP2, CEPIA3mt, ACC-GFP, or SERCA1-GFP; AAV2 carrying the expression cassette of mouse CYP19A1-3 X Flag-T2A-ZsGreen. Techniques used in this study include: Flow cytometry, Immunofluorescence (IF) staining, Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, Luxol fast blue (LFB) staining, β-galactosidase staining, Lipid droplet (LD) staining, Calcium (Ca2+) staining, Stimulated emission depletion (STED) imaging, Transmission electron microscopic imaging, Two-photon imaging, Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) dUTP nick-end Labeling (TUNEL) assay, Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) assay, Enzymatic activity assay, Proximity ligation assay (PLA), In vivo electrophysiological recording, Long-term potentiation (LTP) recording, Split-GFP-based mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM) detection, Immunoprecipitation (IP), Cellular fractionation, In situ hybridization, Semi-quantitative RT-PCR, Immunoblot, Mass spectrometry-based lipidomics, metabolomics, proteomics, Primary hippocampal neuron culture and Morris water maze (MWM) test. Results: We found that TPP2, independent of its enzymatic activity, plays a crucial role in maintaining the homeostasis of intracellular Ca2+ and phosphatidylcholine (PC) in the central nervous system (CNS) of mice. In consistence with the critical importance of Ca2+ and PC in the CNS, TPP2 gene ablation causes presenile dementia in female mice, which is closely associated with Ca2+/PC dysregulation-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, abnormal autophagic degradation of CYP19A1 (aromatase), and estrogen depletion. This work therefore uncovers a new role of TPP2 in lipogenesis and neurosteroidogenesis which is tightly related to cognitive function of adult female mice. Conclusion: Our study reveals a crucial role of TPP2 in controlling homeostasis of Ca2+ and lipids in CNS, and its deficiency causes sexual dimorphism in dementia. Thus, this study is not only of great significance for elucidating the pathogenesis of dementia and its futural treatment, but also for interpreting the role of TPP2 in other systems and their related disorders.

Abstract
Four individuals from two families presented with a multisystemic condition of suspected genetic origin that was diagnosed only after genome analysis. The main phenotypic features were immune system dysregulation (severe immunodeficiency with autoimmunity) and intellectual disability. The four individuals were found to be homozygous for a 4.4 Kb deletion removing exons 20-23 (NM_003291.4) of the TPP2 gene, predicting a frameshift with premature termination of the protein. The deletion was located on a shared chromosome 13 haplotype indicating a Swiss founder mutation. Tripeptidyl peptidase 2 (TPP2) is a protease involved in HLA/antigen complex processing and amino acid homeostasis. Biallelic variants in TPP2 have been described in 10 individuals with variable features including immune deficiency, autoimmune cytopenias, and intellectual disability or chronic sterile brain inflammation mimicking multiple sclerosis. Our observations further delineate this severe condition not yet included in the OMIM catalog. Timely recognition of TPP2 deficiency is crucial since (1) immune surveillance is needed and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may be necessary, and (2) for provision of genetic counselling. Additionally, enzyme replacement therapy, as already established for TPP1 deficiency, might be an option in the future.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the Central Nervous System (CNS). Currently, it is estimated that 30-40% of the phenotypic variability of MS can be explained by genetic factors. However, low susceptibility variants identified through Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) were calculated to explain about 50% of the heritability. Whether familial high-risk variants also contribute to heritability is a subject of controversy. In the last few years, several familial variants have been nominated, but none of them have been unequivocally confirmed. One reason for this may be that genetic heterogeneity and reduced penetrance are hindering detection. Sequencing a large number of MS families is needed to answer this question. In this study, we performed whole exome sequencing in four multi-case families, of which at least three affected individuals per family were analyzed. We identified a total of 138 rare variants segregating with disease in each of the families. Although no single variant showed convincing evidence for disease causation, some genes seemed particularly interesting based on their biological function. The main aim of this study was to provide a complete list of all rare segregating variants to provide the possibility for other researchers to cross-check familial candidate genes in an unbiased manner.

Abstract
Primary immunodeficiency disorders that predominantly affect immune regulation and mechanisms of self-tolerance have come into the limelight, because at least for a subgroup of monogenetic disorders, a targeted therapy has become available. Nevertheless, their management often involves the treatment of severely compromising, refractory, multi-organ autoimmunity, leading to further increased susceptibility to infections and complications of long-term immune suppressive treatment, including the risk of malignancy. While evidence for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) as a curative treatment option for severely affected patients by this disease category accumulates, clear indications, and guidelines for alloHSCT are lacking. Predictive and stratification-relevant tools such as disease activity scores are largely missing and often there is not a consistent genotype-phenotype correlation within the same family to facilitate the decision whether to transplant or not. In this review, we provide a literature-based update on indications and outcomes of alloHSCT for congenital immune dysregulative inborn errors of immunity according to the IUIS classification 2017.
