Abstract
Viruses manipulate cellular metabolism and macromolecule recycling processes like autophagy. Dysregulated metabolism might lead to excessive inflammatory and autoimmune responses as observed in severe and long COVID-19 patients. Here we show that SARS-CoV-2 modulates cellular metabolism and reduces autophagy. Accordingly, compound-driven induction of autophagy limits SARS-CoV-2 propagation. In detail, SARS-CoV-2-infected cells show accumulation of key metabolites, activation of autophagy inhibitors (AKT1, SKP2) and reduction of proteins responsible for autophagy initiation (AMPK, TSC2, ULK1), membrane nucleation, and phagophore formation (BECN1, VPS34, ATG14), as well as autophagosome-lysosome fusion (BECN1, ATG14 oligomers). Consequently, phagophore-incorporated autophagy markers LC3B-II and P62 accumulate, which we confirm in a hamster model and lung samples of COVID-19 patients. Single-nucleus and single-cell sequencing of patient-derived lung and mucosal samples show differential transcriptional regulation of autophagy and immune genes depending on cell type, disease duration, and SARS-CoV-2 replication levels. Targeting of autophagic pathways by exogenous administration of the polyamines spermidine and spermine, the selective AKT1 inhibitor MK-2206, and the BECN1-stabilizing anthelmintic drug niclosamide inhibit SARS-CoV-2 propagation in vitro with IC50 values of 136.7, 7.67, 0.11, and 0.13 μM, respectively. Autophagy-inducing compounds reduce SARS-CoV-2 propagation in primary human lung cells and intestinal organoids emphasizing their potential as treatment options against COVID-19.

Abstract
Rare coding variants in the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM2) gene have been associated with Alzheimer disease (AD) and homozygous TREM2 loss-of-function variants have been reported in families with monogenic frontotemporal-like dementia with/without bone abnormalities. In a whole-exome sequencing study of a family with probable AD-type dementia without pathogenic variants in known autosomal dominant dementia disease genes and negative for the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele, we identified an extremely rare TREM2 coding variant, that is, a glycine-to-tryptophan substitution at amino acid position 145 (NM_018965.3:c.433G>T/p.[Gly145Trp]). This alteration is found in only 1 of 251,150 control alleles in gnomAD. It was present in both severely affected as well as in another putatively affected and one 61 years old as yet unaffected family member suggesting incomplete penetrance and/or a variable age of onset. Gly145 maps to an intrinsically disordered region (IDR) of TREM2 between the immunoglobulin-like and transmembrane domain. Subsequent cellular studies showed that the variant led to IDR shortening and structural changes of the mutant protein resulting in an impairment of cellular responses upon receptor activation. Our results, suggest that a p.(Gly145Trp)-induced structural disturbance and functional impairment of TREM2 may contribute to the pathogenesis of an AD-like form of dementia.

Abstract
Despite extensive efforts, half of patients with rare movement disorders such as hereditary spastic paraplegias and cerebellar ataxias remain genetically unexplained, implicating novel genes and unrecognized mutations in known genes. Non-coding DNA variants are suspected to account for a substantial part of undiscovered causes of rare diseases. Here we identified mutations located deep in introns of POLR3A to be a frequent cause of hereditary spastic paraplegia and cerebellar ataxia. First, whole-exome sequencing findings in a recessive spastic ataxia family turned our attention to intronic variants in POLR3A, a gene previously associated with hypomyelinating leukodystrophy type 7. Next, we screened a cohort of hereditary spastic paraplegia and cerebellar ataxia cases (n = 618) for mutations in POLR3A and identified compound heterozygous POLR3A mutations in ∼3.1% of index cases. Interestingly, >80% of POLR3A mutation carriers presented the same deep-intronic mutation (c.1909+22G>A), which activates a cryptic splice site in a tissue and stage of development-specific manner and leads to a novel distinct and uniform phenotype. The phenotype is characterized by adolescent-onset progressive spastic ataxia with frequent occurrence of tremor, involvement of the central sensory tracts and dental problems (hypodontia, early onset of severe and aggressive periodontal disease). Instead of the typical hypomyelination magnetic resonance imaging pattern associated with classical POLR3A mutations, cases carrying c.1909+22G>A demonstrated hyperintensities along the superior cerebellar peduncles. These hyperintensities may represent the structural correlate to the cerebellar symptoms observed in these patients. The associated c.1909+22G>A variant was significantly enriched in 1139 cases with spastic ataxia-related phenotypes as compared to unrelated neurological and non-neurological phenotypes and healthy controls (P = 1.3 × 10-4). In this study we demonstrate that (i) autosomal-recessive mutations in POLR3A are a frequent cause of hereditary spastic ataxias, accounting for about 3% of hitherto genetically unclassified autosomal recessive and sporadic cases; and (ii) hypomyelination is frequently absent in POLR3A-related syndromes, especially when intronic mutations are present, and thus can no longer be considered as the unifying feature of POLR3A disease. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that substantial progress in revealing the causes of Mendelian diseases can be made by exploring the non-coding sequences of the human genome.

Abstract
The MAPT H1 haplotype has been linked to several disorders, but its relationship with Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains controversial. A rare variant in MAPT (p.A152T) has been linked with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and AD. We genotyped H1/H2 and p.A152T MAPT in 11,572 subjects from Spain (4,327 AD, 563 FTD, 648 Parkinson's disease (PD), 84 progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and 5,950 healthy controls). Additionally, we included 101 individuals from 21 families with genetic FTD. MAPT p.A152T was borderline significantly associated with FTD [odds ratio (OR) = 2.03; p = 0.063], but not with AD. MAPT H1 haplotype was associated with AD risk (OR = 1.12; p = 0.0005). Stratification analysis showed that this association was mainly driven by APOE ɛ4 noncarriers (OR = 1.14; p = 0.0025). MAPT H1 was also associated with risk for PD (OR = 1.30; p = 0.0003) and PSP (OR = 3.18; p = 8.59 × 10-8) but not FTD. Our results suggest that the MAPT H1 haplotype increases the risk of PD, PSP, and non-APOE ɛ4 AD.

Abstract
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder. Rare TREM2 variants have been recently identified in families affected by FTD-like phenotype. However, genetic studies of the role of rare TREM2 variants in FTD have generated conflicting results possibly because of difficulties on diagnostic accuracy. The aim of the present study was to investigate associations between rare TREM2 variants and specific FTD subtypes (FTD-S). The entire coding sequence of TREM2 was sequenced in FTD-S patients of Spanish (n = 539) and German (n = 63) origin. Genetic association was calculated using Fisher exact test. The minor allele frequency for controls was derived from in-house genotyping data and publicly available databases. Seven previously reported rare coding variants (p.A28V, p.W44X, p.R47H, p.R62H, p.T66M, p.T96K, and p.L211P) and 1 novel missense variant (p.A105T) were identified. The p.R47H variant was found in 4 patients with FTD-S. Two of these patients showed cerebrospinal fluid pattern of amyloid beta, tau, and phosphorylated-tau suggesting underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. No association was found between p.R47H and FTD-S. A genetic association was found between p.T96K and FTD-S (p = 0.013, odds ratio = 4.23, 95% Confidence Interval [1.17-14.77]). All 6 p.T96K patients also carried the TREM2 variant p.L211P, suggesting linkage disequilibrium. The remaining TREM2 variants were found in 1 patient, respectively, and were absent in controls. The present findings provide evidence that p.T96K is associated with FTD-S and that p.L211P may contribute to its pathogenic effect. The data also suggest that p.R47H is associated with an FTD phenotype that is characterized by the presence of underlying AD pathology.

Abstract
Study objective The pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by an interaction of environmental influences, particularly cigarette smoking, and genetic determinants. Given the global increase in COPD, research on the genomic variants that affect susceptibility to this complex disorder is reviving. In the present study, we investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms in 'a disinter-grin and metalloprotease' 33 (ADAM33) are associated with the development and course of COPD. Patients and design We genotyped 150 German COPD patients and 152 healthy controls for the presence of the F+1 and S_2 SNPs in ADAM 33 that lead to the base pair exchange G to A and C to G, respectively. To assess whether these genetic variants are influential in the course of COPD, we subdivided the cohort into two subgroups comprising 60 patients with a stable and 90 patients with an unstable course of disease. Results In ADAM33, the frequency of the F+1 A allele was 35.0% among stable and 43.9% among unstable COPD subjects, which was not significantly different from the 35.5% found in the controls (P = 0.92 and P = 0.07, respectively). The frequency of the S_2 mutant allele in subjects with a stable COPD was 23.3% (P = 0.32), in subjects with an unstable course 30.6% (P = 0.47). Conclusion The study shows that there is no significant difference in the distribution of the tested SNPs between subjects with and without COPD. Furthermore, these polymorphisms appear to have no consequences for the stability of the disease course.

Abstract
Study objective The etiology of chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is unclear. It is supposed to be the product of an exogenous antigenic stimulus, such as tobacco smoke, and an endogenous genetic susceptibility. The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene contains a polymorphism based on the presence (insertion [I]) or absence (deletion [D]) of a 287-bp nonsense domain, resulting in three different genotypes (II, ID and DD). The aim of the study was to find out whether the ACE gene polymorphism can determine the course of COPD. Patients and design We genotyped 152 Caucasian patients with COPD and 158 healthy controls for the ACE (I/D) polymorphism. We divided the COPD group into one group of 64 patients with a stable course of disease, defined as less than three hospitalizations over the last three years due to COPD, and another group of 88 patients with an instable course with more than three hospitalizations. Results The I-allele was significantly associated with an increased risk for COPD in a dominant model (OR 1.67 (95% CI 1.00 to 2.78), p = 0.048), but not in a recessive or co-dominant model. Moreover, the I-allele of ACE (I/D) was significantly increased in patients with a stable course of COPD (p = 0.012) compared with controls. In a dominant model (II/ID v DD) we found an even stronger association between the I-allele and a stable course of COPD (OR 3.24 (95% CI 1.44 to 7.31), p = 0.003). Conclusion These data suggest that the presence of an ACE I-allele determines a stable course of COPD.

Abstract
The aetiology of sarcoidosis, an inflammatory granulomatous multi-system disorder, is unclear. It is thought to be the product of an unknown exogenous antigenic stimulus and an endogenous genetic susceptibility. Toll-like receptors (TLR) are signal molecules essential for the cellular response to bacterial cell wall components. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), for example, binds to TLR 4. Two different polymorphisms for the TLR4 gene (Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile) have been described recently. This leads to a change in the extracellular matrix function of TLR4 and to impaired LPS signal transduction. We genotyped a total of 141 Caucasian patients with sarcoidosis and 141 healthy unrelated controls for the Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile polymorphisms in the TLR4 gene. The mutations were identified with polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. Among sarcoidosis patients the prevalence for each Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile mutant allele was 15.6% (22/141). In the control group the prevalence was 5.67% (8/141) (P = 0.07). In the subgroup of patients with acute sarcoidosis there was no difference in the control group (P = 0.93), but there was a highly significant association between patients with a chronic course of sarcoidosis and TLR4 gene polymorphisms (P = 0.01).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Subjects with multiple renal arteries have been shown to suffer more frequently from hypertension and to have higher blood pressures than subjects whose kidneys are supplied by single renal arteries. This study was carried out to determine whether subjects with multiple renal arteries also have higher renin activity. METHODS We studied 62 consecutive patients who had undergone angiography for various reasons. They were divided into two groups. Group A comprised 29 patients whose kidneys were supplied by single arteries (male :female ratio 1.63, mean age 51.8 +/- 1.9 years) while Group B comprised 33 patients with multiple renal arteries (male:female ratio 2, mean age 47.3 +/- 2.3 years). RESULTS Before stimulation with frusemide, the plasma renin in Group A was 0.79 +/- 0.13 ng angiotensin l/ml per h, while in Group B the corresponding figure was 1.73 +/- 0.38 ng angiotensin l/ml per h. This difference was statistically significant (P= 0.0127). Thirty minutes later the plasma renin level in Group A was 2.43 +/- 0.37 ng angiotensin l/ml per h versus a level of 3.86 +/- 0.53 ng angiotensin l/ml per h in Group B (P= 0.0169). Again, 30 minutes later the level was 2.59 +/- 0.4 ng angiotensin l/ ml per h in Group A, versus 3.79 +/- 0.59 ng angiotensin l/ ml per h in Group B (P= 0.0495). CONCLUSIONS We conclude that patients with multiple renal arteries constitute a group who have high plasma renin activity and may therefore be prone to develop arterial hypertension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Moderate hyperhomocysteinaemia is common in the general population and has been linked with systemic atherosclerotic vascular disease. We studied the relation of sonographically determined carotid intima-media wall thickness to serum homocysteine concentrations in asymptomatic, healthy subjects. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy-five male and female untreated subjects (mean age 49 years, range 22-75) with normal serum folate concentrations were included. High-resolution duplex sonography was used to determine intima-media thickness of the common carotid artery. Serum homocysteine concentration was measured by high-performance liquid chromotography with fluorescence detection. Mean intima-media thickness (+/- SD) was 0.78 +/- 0.19 mm (range 0.5-1.35) and mean serum homocysteine concentration was 10.5 +/- 2.81 micromol/l (range 5.7-19.6). In stepwise regression models, statistically significant predictors of intima-media thickness included age, body mass index, LDL cholesterol and homocysteine (R2 = 0.51). Homocysteine concentration was independently associated with intima-media thickness after adjustment for the other variables (P < 0.001) and explained an additional 18% of the variation of intima-media thickness. CONCLUSIONS In healthy subjects, high-normal serum homocysteine concentrations are associated with an increased prevalence of carotid artery wall thickening. The significance of the contribution of homocysteine to the variation of carotid intima-media thickness, even at concentrations previously believed to be normal, suggests a role for homocysteine as an independent risk factor for early carotid artery atherosclerosis in the asymptomatic subjects.

Abstract
Elevated plasma epinephrine concentrations may impair blood pressure homeostasis and renal sodium and volume excretion in response to central hypervolemia. We studied the effects of a low-dose epinephrine infusion (12 ng/kg/min) on cardiovascular and renal responses to a thermoneutral head-out water immersion in eleven healthy men. Responses to water immersion without epinephrine were characterized by significant suppression of plasma renin activity (PRA), plasma aldosterone concentration, and renal norepinephrine excretion, and an augmentation of natriuresis and diuresis. Epinephrine infusion, which raised mean plasma epinephrine concentration 4.3-fold, slightly increased plasma norepinephrine and renal norepinephrine excretion, markedly stimulated PRA (+66.7%), but decreased plasma aldosterone (-11.7%), and augmented renal sodium and volume excretion. Despite the presence of the epinephrine infusion, water immersion continued both to suppress PRA and aldosterone, and to increase natriuresis and diuresis in a qualitatively similar pattern. During all conditions blood pressure and heart rate remained unchanged. It is concluded that physiologic responses to central hypervolemia are not impaired at stress levels of circulating epinephrine. During epinephrine infusion, despite a concomitant increase in plasma norepinephrine and a stimulation of PRA, blood pressure remained constant in response to water immersion due to an augmentation of natriuresis and diuresis.

Abstract
A study was conducted on 25 patients (18 men, seven women; mean age 48 [24-70] years) with essential hypertension (EH) to see whether an increase in potassium supply influences blood pressure as well as metabolic and hormonal parameters, and whether the anion administered together with potassium affects the results. In a randomized, cross-over trial sequence the patients daily received 120 mmol potassium chloride, 120 mmol potassium citrate or a placebo, each for 8 weeks. Between each of the three periods there was a "wash-out" phase of 4 weeks each. After 8 weeks of potassium citrate intake the systolic and diastolic pressures were reduced significantly, by a mean of 6.2/3.8 mm Hg (P < 0.05). But after potassium chloride there was only a small, not significant, reduction. Metabolic and hormonal parameters (fasting glucose concentration, glucose tolerance test, lipid electrophoresis; plasma renin activity, plasma concentration of aldosterone, noradrenaline and insulin) were not significantly changed.--These findings suggest that an increased supply of potassium has a favourable haemodynamic effect, but this varies markedly between different potassium salts. An increase in potassium supply should thus be considered as an additional measure in the treatment of EH. As long as renal function is normal no unfavourable metabolic effect need be feared.

Abstract
The effects of severe and moderate sodium restriction on blood pressure and serum lipids were studied in nonobese normotensive adults. Subjects (n = 163) were given a low (20 mmol Na/d) and high (300 mmol Na/d) salt diet for 1 week each in random order. Of these subjects, 25 were selected to participate in a second study with moderate salt restriction (85 mmol na/d) or "normal" sodium diet (200 mmol Na/d) given for 4 weeks each in random order. After severe salt restriction, 19% of the 163 subjects had a significant decrease in blood pressure (salt-sensitive), 15% showed a significant rise (counter-regulator), and 66% exhibited no change (salt-resistant). Severe sodium restriction increased serum total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides. After correction for hematocrit, the changes in blood lipids remained significant in the counter regulators only. After moderate salt restriction, serum lipid concentrations and blood pressure did not change.
