1 2 ABSTRACT 3 4 5 6 Objectives 7 Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) deficiency syndrome is a rare condition that causes a mitochondrial 8 dysfunction and includes a variety of clinical presentations, as encephalomyopathy, ataxia and renal 9 10 failure. We sought to set up what all have in common and to investigate why CoQ10 supplementation 11 reverses the bioenergetics alterations in cultured cells but not all the cellular phenotypes. 12 13 Design: modelling study 14 This work models the transcriptome of human CoQ10 deficiency syndrome in primary fibroblast from 15 patients and studyFor the genetic peer response to CoQreview10 treatment in these only cells. 16 17 Setting 18 Four hospitals and medical centres from Spain, Italy and USA, and two research laboratories from 19 20 Spain and USA. 21 22 Participants 23 Primary cells were collected from patients in the above centres. 24 25 Measurements 26 We characterized by microarray analysis the expression profile of fibroblasts from seven CoQ10 27 deficient patients (three had primary deficiency, four had a secondary form) and agedmatched 28 controls, before and after CoQ supplementation. Results were validated by QRTPCR. The profile 29 10 30 of DNA (CpG) methylation was evaluated for a subset of with displayed altered expression. 31 32 Results 33 CoQ10 deficient fibroblasts (independently from the etiology) showed a common transcriptomic profile http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 that promotes cell survival by activating cell cycle and growth, cell stress responses, and inhibiting cell 35 death and immune responses. Energy production was supported mainly by glycolysis while CoQ10 36 supplementation restored oxidative phosphorylation. Expression of involved in cell death 37 pathways was partially restored by treatment, while genes involved in differentiation, cell cycle and 38 growth were not affected. Stably demethylated genes were unaffected by treatment whereas we 39 40 observed restored in either nonmethylated genes or those with an unchanged 41 methylation patterns. 42 on September 28, 2021 by guest.

1 2 INTRODUCTION 3 4 Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a small electron carrier which is an essential for several 5 6 mitochondrial biochemical pathways such as oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), betaoxidation, 7 8 and pyrimidine nucleotide . CoQ biosynthesis depends on a multi complex1 that 9 10 10 11 involves at least ten encoded by COQ genes. Mutations in any of these genes cause primary 12 2 13 CoQ10 deficiencies, which are clinically heterogeneous mitochondrial diseases . Clinical presentations 14 15 include encephalomyopathyFor peerwith lipid storage review myopathy and myoglobinuria only3; ataxia and cerebellar 16 17 atrophy4; severe infantile encephalomyopathy with renal failure5; isolated myopathy6; and nephrotic 18 19 7 8 20 syndrome . Secondary CoQ10 deficiency has also been associated with diverse mitochondrial diseases

21 13 14 15 22 . In all of these conditions, CoQ10 supplementation partially improves symptoms and usually 23 8 16 17 24 induces a return to normal growth and respiration in CoQ10deficient fibroblasts . Adaptation of 25 26 somatic cells to CoQ10 deficiecny may affect both onset and course of the disease. Here, we document 27 28 common transcriptomic profile alterations in somatic cells of CoQdeficienct patients, their response to 29 30 31 CoQ10 supplementation, and the relationship with the DNA methylation status of specific genes. 32 33 http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 36 37 MATERIALS AND METHODS 38 39 40 41 42 Cells on September 28, 2021 by guest.

See supplementary data for 7 8 description of statistical analyses. 9 10 11 CoQ10 treatment modified the specific transcriptomic profile displayed by CoQ10deficient fibroblasts 12 13 (supplementary tables 6 and 7 online). We classified genes into 5 groups according to the consequence 14 15 of CoQ10 treatmentFor on gene expressionpeer (supplementary review table 8 online only and supplementary figure 1 for a 16 17 graphical view). About 54% of probes with altered expression were unaffected by CoQ10 18 19 20 supplementation. 36% of probes showed partial or complete normalization of expression and 2% 21 22 showed inverse regulation. Approximately 5% of probes were specifically altered after treatment in 23 24 both deficient and nondeficient cells and 3% showed small or nonspecific changes (these were not 25 26 considered for further analysis). After statistical analysis, we obtained 70 altered GO with a significant 27 28 Pvalue (<0.001) and an enrichment value that represents the most altered GO within each group 29 30 31 (supplementary table 9). 32 33 Data have been deposited with the NCBIGEO database, at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/, http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 accession number GSE33941 (see supplementary table 10 for an explanation).

21 8 16 17 22 observed in CoQ10deficient fibroblasts after CoQ10 supplementation . 23 24 25 26 CoQ10 deficiency induces specific adaptations of cells to promote survival 27 28 The major novel finding of transcriptome profiling in CoQ deficient fibroblasts was the altered 29 10 30 31 expression of genes concerned with cell cycle and development and with resistance to stress and cell 32 33 death (table 2). This suggests both a remodeling of differentiation and growth maintenance and an http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 increase of cell survival mechanisms. Specifically, genes involved in cell cycle activation and 36 37 maintenance were upregulated, and genes involved in cell cycle regulation increased or decreased 38 39 40 their expression depending of their activating or repressing roles. This proliferative response was also 41 42 enhanced by the repression of cellular attachment factors and by the activation of extracellular matrix on September 28, 2021 by guest. Protected copyright. 43 44 proteins that reduce cell attachment and favor cell division. In parallel, GO clusters favoring cell cycle 45 46 and cell division were activated, and those inhibiting cell growth were repressed (supplementary table 47 48 4). The differentiation of these cells was compromised because many required factors, transducers, 49 50 51 antigens, and structural proteins appeared downregulated, whereas repressors of differentiation during 52 53 development were overexpressed (table 2).

1 2 Cell cycle activation was supported by the upregulation of CDK6 (Table 2), a cyclindependent 3 4 kinase that induces entry into the Sphase, and by a robust repression (more than 9fold) of 5 6 p21/CDKN1A, an inhibitor of cyclindependent kinase that blocks cell cycle at the G1/S check point to 7 8 stimulate cell differentiation. Moreover, subsequent pathways inactivated by p2123 were enhanced in 9 10 11 CoQ10deficient cells (supplementary table 5), as well as both transcription factors E2F7 and E2F8 12 24 13 (table 2), which push the progression of the cell cycle, activate cell survival and inhibit apoptosis . 14 15 Cell survival in ForCoQ10deficient peer cells was improvedreview by the induction only of DNArepairing mechanisms, 16 17 and by the establishment of pathways that regulate Junkinases and activate NAD(P)HCoQ 18 19 20 , which are involved in stress responses (Tables 2 and S4). Components of apoptosis 21 22 and cell death pathways were systematically repressed (Table 2), including tumor suppressor genes, 23 24 antigens, intracellular mediators, and effectors of cell death. Also, cell surface receptors and 25 26 modulators that inhibit apoptosis were greatly activated. 27 28 Interestingly, CoQ treatment did not alter the newly acquired resistance to cell death in CoQ 29 10 10 30 31 deficient fibroblasts, kept cell growth activated, and allowed a higher degree of differentiation (Tables 32 33 2 and S8). However, genes controlling stress resistance pathways and cortical cytoskeleton were http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 completely restored, as indicated by the shifts in gene expression listed in Table 2. However, treated 36 37 fibroblasts kept the DNA repair mechanism activated. 38 39 40 Signalingrelated genes and pathways were differentially affected by CoQ10deficiency, but most of 41 42 immunityrelated genes showed a general downregulation of (Table 2).

1 2 were specifically altered after CoQ10 treatment in both deficient and nondeficient cells (5%). The 3 4 remaining 16% corresponded to partially restored genes, which slightly alter their expression level 5

6 without changing the CoQ10deficient pattern. These genes along with the unaffected (54%) constitute 7 8 72% of regulated genes in CoQ deficiency, which were not significantly altered after CoQ 9 10 10 10 11 supplementation. 12 13 To explain this differential response to respiratory dysfunction, we analyzed the DNAmethylation 14 15 profile of 20 amongFor the most peer altered genes listedreview in table 2. These onlygenes encompass the main 16 17 biological processes and pathways affected by CoQ10 deficiency (table 3). Upregulated genes, which 18 19 20 were unaffected by CoQ10 supplementation, had less defined DNA methylation sites in their promoter 21 22 regions. 23 24 Genes with partial restoration of their expression after CoQ10 supplementation showed precise 25 26 methylation and demethylation profiles that may explain their altered expression during CoQ10 27 28 deficiency.

1 2 3 4 DISCUSSION 5 6 7 8 CoQ -deficient fibroblasts readapt the energetic metabolism and CoQ -treatment restores 9 10 10 10 1 11 CoQ10 is an essential component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain , therefore dysfunctional 12 37 813 13 mitochondria are a common finging in both primary CoQ10 deficiencies and secondary forms . 14 15 Although each formFor presents peer a specific clinical review phenotype, all these only conditions display a substantial 16 17 reduction of cellular CoQ10 content and deficit in the mitochondrial enzymatic activities of respiratory 18 19 20 chain (table 1). Accordingly to these results, we have shown here that fibroblasts from patients with 21 22 CoQ10 deficiency have reorganized their genetic resources to cope with this mitochondrial dysfunction. 23 24 Bioenergetics was supported mainly by glycolysis, while lipid metabolism and the respiratory chain 25 26 were repressed, consistent with the role of CoQ10 in these two metabolic pathways. These findings, 27 28 together with the mild repression of the cytosolic enzymes that oxidize NADH (cytochrome b and 29 5 30 31 several other oxidoreductases) could indicate that NADH is mainly used for biosynthetic purposes 32 33 rather than for energy production. http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 Supplementation with CoQ10, the current therapy for all forms of CoQ10 deficiency, restored 36 37 respiration through enhanced sugar utilization, but did not stimulate lipid metabolism. We showed that 38 39 40 CoQ10 treatment normalized partially or completely the expression of genes involved in the glycolytic 41 42 pathway and activated the repressed genes involved in the biosynthesis of the respiratory chain , on September 28, 2021 by guest.

These results are in agreement with the recovery of 45 46 8 16 17 aerobic metabolism observed in CoQ10deficient fibroblasts after CoQ10 supplementation . 47 48 49 50 51 CoQ10 deficiency induces a stable survival adaptation of cells 52 53 CoQ10deficienct fibroblasts adapted several physiological processes to acquire a cellularresistance 54 55 state for survival under the conditons of mitochondrial dysfunction induced by CoQ10deficiency.

1 2 undifferentiated phenotype, upregulating stressinduced proteins, and inhibiting apoptosis and cell 3 4 death pathways. These results recapitulate a survival network that can be observed in nutritional stress 5 6 such as when cells are grown in galactoseenriched media25. 7 8 The survival adaptation shown by CoQ deficient cells included a global resistance mechanism that is 9 10 10 11 observed also during the initial phase of tumorigenesis. In fact, the CoQ10deficient expression profile 12 26 27 13 was very similar to that described during myeloid cells transformation and breast tumors . 14 15 Moreover, someFor of the regulated peer genes in CoQreview10 deficiency (listed only in table 2 as underlined bold letter) 16 17 are used as biomarkers in several types of cancer28. In addition, cellular senescence, a defining feature 18 19 29 20 of premalignant tumors , is characterized by a gene expression pattern similar to that of CoQ10 21 22 deficient fibroblasts (supplementary table 5). 23 24 Supplementation with CoQ10 enhanced both stress response and immunity pathways. Although the 25 26 pathway of cell death was partially restored, cell cycle and growth, and the mechanisms to prevent 27 28 differentiation and development were not. These results indicate that the mitochondrial dysfunction 29 30 31 due to CoQ10 deficiency induces a stable survival adaptation of somatic cells in patients at early or 32 33 postnatal development, and we speculate that cells unable to institute, or to maintain, this survival http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 mechanism during differentiation will die, contributing to the pathological phenotype. 36 37 38 39 40 A stable DNA methylation profile is responsible of specific gene expression in CoQ10 deficiency 41 42 The cellular adaptation to CoQ10 deficiency enhanced DNA demethylation of genes that regulate cell on September 28, 2021 by guest.

Comparable results were observed in several models of epigenetic regulation by 47 48 demethylation (Table S5), whereas DNA methylation inhibits activation of genes related to 49 50 30 51 tumorogenesis and apoptosis . 52 53 Pathways unaffected by CoQ10 treatment corresponded to stably demethylated genes, whereas those 54 55 that responded to CoQ10 supplementation were controlled by genes with unchanged methylation 56 57 patterns. 58 59 60 13 For peer review only - http://bmjopen.bmj.com/site/about/guidelines.xhtml Page 15 of 84 BMJ Open BMJ Open: first published as 10.1136/bmjopen-2012-002524 on 25 March 2013.

1 2 We did not find changes in the methylation degree of all genes affected by CoQ10 deficiency, 3 4 suggesting that other modalities of gene regulation are be responsible, including epigenetic 5 6 mechanisms such as histone modifications by methylation and acetylation, or even DNA methylation 7 8 in CpG islands other than those studied here. Interestingly, it has been reported that CoQ regulates 9 10 10 31 11 lipid metabolism in liver mice without effect on the DNA methylation profile , indicating that 12 13 supplemented CoQ10 by itself may not alter the DNA methylation pattern that cells acquired during the 14 15 survival adaptationFor to CoQ 10peer deficiency. review only 16 17 Mechanisms unaffected by therapy corresponded to stably DNA demethylated genes, which were 18 19 20 responsible for the acquisition of the undifferentiated state for survival and resistance that cells obtain 21 22 during the adaptation to CoQ10 deficiency, whereas the responsive to CoQ10 supplementation were 23 24 controlled by genes with unchanged methylation patterns and correspond mainly to metabolic genes 25 26 and those related with the restoration of mitochondrial function. 27 28 We propose that these epigenetic changes may be established as early as during the fetal life32 in order 29 30 31 to cope with CoQ10 deficiency; these cells then maintain this adaptive response throughout their life. 32 33 We speculate that cells unable to maintain this survival mechanism during differentiation would die http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 contributing to the pathological phenotype. 36 37 Our model has some limits: we treated cells only for one week and in principle we cannot rule out that 38 39 40 prolonged exposure to CoQ10 could restore also some of the other unaffected pathways. Alternatively, 41 42 incomplete recovery of the gene expression profiles could be explained by the fact that exogenous on September 28, 2021 by guest.

1 2 3 4 SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 5 6 7 8 Identification of genes, biological process and pathways regulated in CoQ deficiency. 9 10 10 11 Data analysis for each gene in the array compared the signal of each patient’s fibroblast mRNA 12 13 with the signal of each control fibroblast mRNA, over which the statistical analyses were 14 15 performed. MAS5For algorithm peer and SAM software review were performed inonly order to select those probe sets 16 17 with significant differences in gene expression. Approximately from 6% to 11% of the probe sets 18 19 20 present in the array were picked with a significant fold change higher than 1.5, while the false 21 22 discovery rate (FDR) was maintained lower than 5%, the maximum value to consider changes as 23 24 significant [1]. Even more, we reduced the FDR to cero by increasing the stringency of the 25 26 statistical analysis via extension of the cut off threshold (value). After such filtering, from 842 to 27 28 1672 probe sets were identified as showing significant differences in expression between CoQ 29 10 30 31 deficient fibroblasts and control cells, representing approximately 2% to 3% of the array 32 33 (supplementary table 9 online). Later on, we compared the regulated probes in each comparative http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 analysis in order to get a list of genes that were regulated simultaneously in all patient’s fibroblasts 36 37 at the same time (supplementary tables 10 and 11 online). We found 136 probes whose expression 38 39 40 was regulated similarly in all samples, including 47 UPregulated probes and 89 DOWNregulated 41 42 ones. Most of the other probes that were selected as significant in only one sample were no selected on September 28, 2021 by guest. Protected copyright. 43 44 in other (2575 probes were regulated similarly in 3 or less of the 4 samples), and 174 probes 45 46 appeared UPregulated in some samples and DOWNregulated in others. Taking in mind that an 47 48 Affymetrix GeneChip® Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array contains 54675 probes, the 49 50 51 probability of the 136 selected probes to be randomly selected in one comparative analysis is 52 53 0.0025, which represents the 136 over the total amount of probes present in the array. This 54 55 probability is reduced to 0.00000625 (less that one probe per array) if we consider two analyses to 56 57 select randomly the 136 probes, and it is reduced to almost zero if we consider the four comparative 58 59 60 2 For peer review only - http://bmjopen.bmj.com/site/about/guidelines.xhtml Page 31 of 84 BMJ Open BMJ Open: first published as 10.1136/bmjopen-2012-002524 on 25 March 2013.

1 2 analyses over which we ran the statistical analysis. This result gave us the security that the changes 3 4 in the gene expression were due to the mitochondrial of CoQ10 deficiency syndrome and not to a 5 6 random selection of probes. Then, the probes were grouped in a list to define the most altered genes 7 8 as biological markers in the mitochondrial of CoQ deficiency syndrome. We found that many of 9 10 10 11 them represented the same gene, so that the 136 probes correspond to 116 regulated genes (Table 12 13 2). These were validated in selected representative cases by quantitative realtime PCR (Table 2 and 14 15 supplementary tableFor 1 online). peer To corroborate review the altered gene expression, only we considered to re 16 17 hybridize the same samples with another oligonucleotide array, the Affymetrix Gene Chip® Human 18 19 20 Gene 1.0 ST Array. The analysis was performed as follows: PLIER algorithm and SAM software 21 22 were performed in order to select those probe sets with significant differences in gene expression 23 24 (s0=50; R=1.5; cut off threshold of deltavalue so that FDR=0%). The regulation on gene 25 26 expression is listed in parallel to the main analysis in table 2 and supplementary table 1 online. 27 28 Finally, we called such genes as genes regulated in the mitochondrial CoQ deficiency syndrome. 29 10 30 31 32 33 CoQ10 supplementation partially restores the altered gene expression of CoQ10deficient http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 fibroblasts. 36 37 We extracted total RNA from 5 different cultures of CoQ10deficient fibroblast treated for 48 hours 38 39 40 with 30 M of CoQ10 and duplicate hybridizations were performed with the Affymetrix Gene 41 42 Chip® Human Gene 1.0 ST Array. The statistical analysis was performed as follow, using PLIER on September 28, 2021 by guest.

1 2 versus control fibroblasts (PC) that represented the previous analysis done between CoQ10 3 4 deficient fibroblasts and control ones. 5 6 Independently of the minimum full change threshold that we used, around a half of the probes 7 8 selected with the comparative analyses between CoQ deficient and control fibroblasts (both PC 9 10 10 11 and PQC) were selected in the analysis between treated and nontreated fibroblasts (supplementary 12 13 table 3 online), indicating that CoQ10 supplementation altered the expression of around 50% of the 14 15 regulated genesFor by CoQ10 deficiency.peer Also, reviewby increasing the minimum only full change threshold, the 16 17 number of selected probes as significant was halved in each comparative analysis. 18 19 20 Considering that a regulated probe, either being upregulated or downregulated, in a comparative 21 22 analysis can be regulated or not in the others comparative analyses, 27 possibilities can be achieve 23 24 for a probe to be or not to be regulated in one, two or in all the comparative analyses 25 26 (supplementary table 4 online and figure S1 for a graphical view). Because of the objective of these 27 28 analyses is to study how the altered gene expression in CoQ deficiency was regulated with the 29 10 30 31 supplementation of CoQ10, we decided to not consider those probes regulated only in one 32 33 comparative analysis, as it happened using a threshold of twice for the minimum full change http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 (R=2.0), since those genes were slightly modified with a lower Rvalue (R=1.5) and became 36 37 unselected and no significant by increasing the minimum full change threshold (i.e. R=2.0). 38 39 40 After that, we established 5 groups of classification for a probe to be regulated after CoQ10 41 42 supplementation (supplementary figure 1 online for a graphical interpretation and supplementary on September 28, 2021 by guest.

1 2 Also, we looked the highly regulated genes in the CoQ10deficiency listed in table 1 to see if the 3 4 supplementation with CoQ10 modify, restore or even alter more their expression. Almost all the 5 6 genes were regulated in one patient or treatment, although only 73% of the known genes listed in 7 8 table 2 were regulated according to the previously described groups of classification (75 classified 9 10 11 out of 103 known genes). The 54% of the classified genes restored the control expression level after 12 13 the treatment either partially (19%, 14 out of 75) or completely (35%, 26 of the 75), whereas the 14 15 27% kept their regulationFor as peer it happened in CoQreview10deficiency (20 outonly of 75). The 13% of the genes 16 17 (10 out of 75) presented an opposite regulation in the presence of CoQ10 respect to that in CoQ10 18 19 20 deficiency, and the 5% of them (4 out of 75) amplified the altered gene expression showed by the 21 22 patient fibroblasts, whereas only 1% of the regulated in CoQ10deficiency (1 out of 75) were CoQ10 23 24 specific regulated after the treatment. Such changes had been next discussed in the main text. 25 26 To get a biological meaning of such changes, we decided to study the gene ontologies (GO) 27 28 regulated by CoQ supplementation in CoQ deficient fibroblasts within each group of 29 10 10 30 31 classification, using the GORILLA software (Gene Ontology enrichment analysis and visualization 32 33 tool) [2].

1 2 targeted genes, BRP44 and C10orf58, also showed altered expression but their functions are still 3 4 unknown. 5 6 Related to lipid metabolism: 7 8 Cholesterol metabolism was highly repressed in CoQ deficient fibroblasts and multiple enzymes 9 10 10 11 were affected, including enzymes involved directly in cholesterol biosynthesis (FTFT1, IDI1), their 12 13 regulators (CH25H, RSAD2), regulators of cholesterol concentration inside the cell (INSIG1, 14 15 LDLR), and enzymesFor that catalyzepeer the ratelimiting review step in the biosynthetic only pathway of both sterols 16 17 (SQLE) and unsaturated fatty acids (SCD). Overall, ßoxidation of fatty acids was unaffected, but 18 19 20 genes acting on its regulation decreased by 50%. The repressed enzymes of lipid metabolism and 21 22 fatty acids ßoxidation remained downregulated after CoQ10 supplementation (table 2), although 23 24 the repressed key regulator proteins (CH25H and the insulininducible gene INSIG1) that control 25 26 cholesterol concentration inside the cell inverted their expression levels and appeared highly up 27 28 regulated by treatment. 29 30 31 Related to insulin metabolism: 32 33 Two peptidases involved in the processing of both proinsulin and other prohormones (CPE, selected http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 twice in the array with two different probes) and in the cleavage of insulinlike growth factor 36 37 binding proteins (PAPPA) were highly activated, whereas a convertase (PCSK2, also selected 38 39 40 twice) involved in the regulation of insulin biosynthesis was highly repressed (Table 2).

These two latter genes shift their expression to either upregulation or to control levels 45 46 after CoQ10 supplementation. 47 48 Related to cell cycle: 49 50 51 Specifically, genes involved in cell cycle activation and maintenance were upregulated, including 52 53 mitogen, growth factors and receptors (VEGFA, POSTN, SEMA5A), intracellular activators for 54 55 MAPkinase pathway that enhances cell proliferation and reduces differentiation (AEBP1, CSRP2, 56 57 DOK5, MID1), and transcriptional activators that mediate growth factor activity and inhibit 58 59 60 6 For peer review only - http://bmjopen.bmj.com/site/about/guidelines.xhtml Page 35 of 84 BMJ Open BMJ Open: first published as 10.1136/bmjopen-2012-002524 on 25 March 2013.

1 2 differentiation (CHURC1, CREG1, RUNX1). In contrast, genes involved in cell cycle regulation 3 4 increased or decreased their expression depending of their activating or repressing roles (Table 2). 5 6 Furthermore, both a mediator of antiproliferative signals (IFITM1) and a transcriptional repressor 7 8 of cell division (BHLHB5) were downregulated. This proliferative transcriptome is also facilitated 9 10 11 by the repression of cellular attachment factors (EDN1, MATN2, MCAM, MKX) and by the up 12 13 regulation of extracellular matrix proteins that reduce cell attachment (PSG6, DCN, PKP4) and 14 15 favor cell divisionFor (EFEMP1, peer VCAN). review only 16 17 GO clusters favoring cell cycle and cell division were activated and those inhibiting cell growth 18 19 20 were repressed (Table 3). Thus, there was activation of DNA replication, mitosis, meiosis, synthesis 21 22 of components involved in cell division, such as spindle pole, segregation of 23 24 , and the positive growth regulation. On the other hand, there was a general down 25 26 regulation of biological processes related with nucleosome assembly, and chromosome organization 27 28 and biogenesis. This trend could be explained by the repression of Swi/Snf chromatin remodeling 29 30 31 apparatus, in which SMARCA1 and SMARCA4 components were specifically downregulated in 32 33 all CoQ10deficient fibroblasts (Table 2), thus preventing the cell cycle arrest that is induced by the http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 activation of p21 pathway by BRG1/SMARCA4 [3]. 36 37 Related to differentiation: 38 39 40 Differentiation of these cells was compromised because of the downregulation of factors necessary 41 42 for differentiation (BDNF, GRP, NTNG1, PTN), transcription factors expressed during on September 28, 2021 by guest.

1 2 FSHsuppressing hormone follistatin (FST) was increased in the same cells. FST inhibits both 3 4 development and morphogenic proteins function [5]. Finally, the maintenance of cell division is 5 6 supported by the fact that 47 of the 51 genes encoding for proteins involved in both DNA 7 8 replication and cell cycle progression behaved similarly to those genes regulated after the addition 9 10 11 of serum or growth factors to fibroblasts [6, 7]. 12 13 The gene expression profile of CoQ10deficient fibroblasts was similar to that shown by different 14 15 cell models (supplementaryFor peertable 5 online). reviewCoQ10deficient cells repressedonly CD31 and presented 16 17 similar gene expression profile than cells lacking CD31 [8], which maintains the nondifferentiated 18 19 20 phenotype and stemness properties. Similarly, CoQ10deficient cells showed the same pattern of 21 22 gene expression than (1) undifferentiated tumor cells compared to welldifferentiated cancer cells 23 24 [9], (2) embryonic stem cells compared to differentiated brain and bone marrow cells [10], and (3) 25 26 immature lymphocytes compared to both mature CD4(+) T cells [11] and Bcells [12]. Also CoQ10 27 28 deficient cells were regulated as hematopoietic stem cells, activating the mechanism to avoid the 29 30 31 replicative stress and bypass the senescence program [13]. 32 33 Related to cell survival and cell resistance: http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 Within the most regulated genes classified under these altered biological processes (Table 3), we 36 37 note that several oxidoreductases that take part in xenobiotic and drug metabolism (CYP1B1, 38 39 40 MGC87042), a stressinduced protein (TMEM49), and a gene involved in the nucleotide excision 41 42 repair (RAD23B) were induced.

In parallel, tumor suppressor genes (AIM1 and 49 50 51 APCDD1), cellsurface antigens that facilitate apoptosis in tumor cells (MAGED1, MAGED4/4B), 52 53 and Rho GTPase (RAC2) that activates the intracellular signaling to induce apoptosis appeared 54 55 downregulated.

1 2 apoptotic and proproliferative paracrine signals to adjacent cells (SFRP1). Furthermore, these cells 3 4 also showed repression of some effectors of cell death involved in cytoskeleton reassembly during 5 6 apoptosis (TRIM55) and of the interferoninduced genes that activate apoptosis (IFI6, and XAF1). 7 8 Gene expression pattern showed that CoQ deficient fibroblasts had a higher survival and stress 9 10 10 11 resistance, a phenomenon similar to the upregulation of the drugresistant gene profile in cancer 12 13 cells compared to chemosensitive cell lines [5], and to the down regulated and repressed pathways 14 15 in oxidative stressFor induced inpeer epithelium cells review [14]. Furthermore, CoQonly10deficient fibroblasts 16 17 showed a gene expression pattern that was opposite to that of fibroblasts treated with either 18 19 20 transforming growth factorß (TGFß) [15] or with the antitumor drug trabectedin [16, 17]. 21 22 Related to signalling: 23 24 Signaling pathways were also affected by CoQ10deficiency (Table 2) through the activation of 25 26 genes, each selected three times in the statistical analysis, including a GTPbinding protein 27 28 (ARL4C) involved in transferrin recycling from early endosomes, a ubiquitin specific peptidase 29 30 31 with no peptidase activity (USP53), and a Gprotein receptor (GABBR2) that inhibits adenilil 32 33 cyclase and activates phospholipase A2. A set of signaling genes were down regulated including a http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 Gprotein (GNG2) and a guanine exchange factor for Gproteins (HERC6), a finding that agrees 36 37 with the repression of GTPase activity and Gprotein signaling showed in table 2. There was also 38 39 40 repression of a Rab effector (MLPH) involved in vesicular transport, an adaptor of cell surface 41 42 receptors to Tyrosine kinase (NCK2) that also interact with Tcell surface glycoproteins, and an on September 28, 2021 by guest.

Both 12 13 OAS1 and OASL genes were also repressed but to a lesser extent. Other interferoninducible 14 15 proteins markedlyFor repressed peer in CoQ10deficient review fibroblast were described only above and include the two 16 17 regulators of apoptosis (IFI6 and XAF1), the regulator of development (EPSTI1) and the inhibitor 18 19 20 of cell proliferation (IFITM1). Taken together, these findings support the concept that immune 21 22 response was generally repressed in CoQ10deficient cells (Table 3), such as the response to virus 23 24 and lymphocyteT functions, including proliferation and activation. 25 26 CoQ10 supplementation restored the gene expression of almost all interferoninducible genes to 27 28 control levels. This restoration mainly affects stress and immune responses and can be attributed to 29 30 31 the antiinflammatory properties of CoQ10 [18, 19]. Treatment of fibroblasts with interleukin6 [20] 32 33 or treatment of endothelial cells with interferon [21] induced a transcriptomic profile opposite to http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 that described for CoQ10deficient fibroblasts because activated pathways with interleukin or 36 37 interferon were repressed in CoQ10 deficiency. 38 39 40 41 42 on September 28, 2021 by guest.

Graphical view of gene regulation by CoQ10 supplementation in 14 15 CoQ10 deficiency.For peer review only 16 17 The comparative analysis between CoQ10 deficient and control fibroblasts (PQ), between untreated 18 19 20 and CoQ10 supplemented fibroblasts from patient with CoQ10 deficiency (PQP), and between 21 22 CoQ10 deficient cells treated with CoQ10 and control fibroblasts (PQP) gave 27 possibilities for a 23 24 probe to be or not to be regulated in one, two or in all the three comparative analyses, considering 25 26 that a regulated probe in a comparative analysis, being the probe activated or repressed, can be 27 28 regulated or not in the other comparative analyses. The 5 different groups of classification, 29 30 31 depending on effect of CoQ10 supplementation on gene expression in fibroblasts of patients 32 33 suffering CoQ10 deficiency, are listed in parallel and numbered between parentheses. For a table http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 with full details in number of genes in each category see supplementary table 8 online. The genes 36 37 that were not classified into any of these groups were those that either slightly regulated the gene 38 39 40 expression in only one comparative analysis or even did not change the expression in any of them. 41 42 on September 28, 2021 by guest.

1 2 ABSTRACT 3 4 5 6 Objectives 7 Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) deficiency syndrome is a rare condition that causes a mitochondrial 8 dysfunction and includes a variety of clinical presentations, as encephalomyopathy, ataxia and renal 9 10 failure. First, we sought to set up what all have in common, and then investigate why CoQ10 11 supplementation reverses the bioenergetics alterations in cultured cells but not all the cellular 12 phenotypes. 13 14 Design: modelling study 15 This work modelsFor the transcriptome peer of human review CoQ10 deficiency syndromeonly in primary fibroblast from 16 patients and study the genetic response to CoQ10 treatment in these cells. 17 18 Setting 19 20 Four hospitals and medical centres from Spain, Italy and USA, and two research laboratories from 21 Spain and USA. 22 23 Participants 24 Primary cells were collected from patients in the above centres. 25 26 Measurements 27 We characterized by microarray analysis the expression profile of fibroblasts from seven CoQ10 28 deficient patients (three had primary deficiency, four had a secondary form) and agedmatched 29 30 controls, before and after CoQ10 supplementation. Results were validated by QRTPCR. The profile 31 of DNA (CpG) methylation was evaluated for a subset of gene with displayed altered expression. 32 33 Results http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 CoQ10 deficient fibroblasts (independently from the etiology) showed a common transcriptomic profile 35 that promotes cell survival by activating cell cycle and growth, cell stress responses, and inhibiting cell 36 death and immune responses. Energy production was supported mainly by glycolysis while CoQ10 37 supplementation restored oxidative phosphorylation. Expression of genes involved in cell death 38 pathways was partially restored by treatment, while genes involved in differentiation, cell cycle and 39 40 growth were not affected. Stably demethylated genes were unaffected by treatment whereas we 41 observed restored gene expression in either nonmethylated genes or those with an unchanged 42 methylation patterns. on September 28, 2021 by guest.

1 2 INTRODUCTION 3 4 Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a small electron carrier which is an essential cofactor for several 5 6 mitochondrial biochemical pathways such as oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), betaoxidation, 7 8 and pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis. CoQ biosynthesis depends on a multienzyme complex1 that 9 10 10 11 involves at least ten proteins encoded by COQ genes. Mutations in any of these genes cause primary 12 2 13 CoQ10 deficiencies, which are clinically heterogeneous mitochondrial diseases . Clinical presentations 14 15 include encephalomyopathyFor peerwith lipid storage review myopathy and myoglobinuria only3; ataxia and cerebellar 16 17 atrophy4; severe infantile encephalomyopathy with renal failure5; isolated myopathy6; and nephrotic 18 19 7 8 20 syndrome . Secondary CoQ10 deficiency has also been associated with diverse mitochondrial diseases

21 13 14 15 22 . In all of these conditions, CoQ10 supplementation partially improves symptoms and usually 23 8 16 17 24 induces a return to normal growth and respiration in CoQ10deficient fibroblasts . Adaptation of 25 26 somatic cells to CoQ10 deficiecny may affect both onset and course of the disease. Here, we document 27 28 common transcriptomic profile alterations in somatic cells of CoQdeficienct patients, their response to 29 30 31 CoQ10 supplementation, and the relationship with the DNA methylation status of specific genes. 32 33 http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 36 37 MATERIALS AND METHODS 38 39 40 41 42 Cells on September 28, 2021 by guest.

1 2 NADH oxidation (cytochrome b5 and several oxidoreductases) were slightly repressed (Table 2). The 3 4 expression of genes involved in cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism was downregulated (Table 2), 5 6 as well all the GO related with lipid metabolism (supplementary table 5). 7 8 CoQ supplementation normalized the expression (either partially or completely) of genes involved in 9 10 10 11 the glycolytic pathway and activated the expression of repressed respiratory chain genes, whereas the 12 13 TCA cycle remained unaffected (supplementary table 2).

21 8 16 17 22 observed in CoQ10deficient fibroblasts after CoQ10 supplementation . 23 24 25 26 CoQ10 deficiency induces specific adaptations of cells to promote survival 27 28 The major novel finding of transcriptome profiling in CoQ deficient fibroblasts was the altered 29 10 30 31 expression of genes concerned with cell cycle and development and with resistance to stress and cell 32 33 death (table 2). This suggests both a remodeling of differentiation and growth maintenance and an http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 increase of cell survival mechanisms. Specifically, genes involved in cell cycle activation and 36 37 maintenance were upregulated, and genes involved in cell cycle regulation increased or decreased 38 39 40 their expression depending of their activating or repressing roles. This proliferative response was also 41 42 enhanced by the repression of cellular attachment factors and by the activation of extracellular matrix on September 28, 2021 by guest.

In parallel, GO clusters favoring cell cycle 45 46 and cell division were activated, and those inhibiting cell growth were repressed (supplementary table 47 48 4). The differentiation of these cells was compromised because many required factors, transducers, 49 50 51 antigens, and structural proteins appeared downregulated, whereas repressors of differentiation during 52 53 development were overexpressed (table 2).

1 2 Cell cycle activation was supported by the upregulation of CDK6 (Table 2), a cyclindependent 3 4 kinase that induces entry into the Sphase, and by a robust repression (more than 9fold) of 5 6 p21/CDKN1A, an inhibitor of cyclindependent kinase that blocks cell cycle at the G1/S check point to 7 8 stimulate cell differentiation. Moreover, subsequent pathways inactivated by p2123 were enhanced in 9 10 11 CoQ10deficient cells (supplementary table 5), as well as both transcription factors E2F7 and E2F8 12 24 13 (table 2), which push the progression of the cell cycle, activate cell survival and inhibit apoptosis . 14 15 Cell survival in ForCoQ10deficient peer cells was improvedreview by the induction only of DNArepairing mechanisms, 16 17 and by the establishment of pathways that regulate Junkinases and activate NAD(P)HCoQ 18 19 20 oxidoreductase, which are involved in stress responses (Tables 2 and S4). Components of apoptosis 21 22 and cell death pathways were systematically repressed (Table 2), including tumor suppressor genes, 23 24 antigens, intracellular mediators, and effectors of cell death. Also, cell surface receptors and 25 26 modulators that inhibit apoptosis were greatly activated. 27 28 Interestingly, CoQ treatment did not alter the newly acquired resistance to cell death in CoQ 29 10 10 30 31 deficient fibroblasts, kept cell growth activated, and allowed a higher degree of differentiation (Tables 32 33 2 and S8). However, genes controlling stress resistance pathways and cortical cytoskeleton were http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 completely restored, as indicated by the shifts in gene expression listed in Table 2. However, treated 36 37 fibroblasts kept the DNA repair mechanism activated. 38 39 40 Signalingrelated genes and pathways were differentially affected by CoQ10deficiency, but most of 41 42 immunityrelated genes showed a general downregulation (Table 2).

1 2 were specifically altered after CoQ10 treatment in both deficient and nondeficient cells (5%). The 3 4 remaining 16% corresponded to partially restored genes, which slightly alter their expression level 5

6 without changing the CoQ10deficient pattern. These genes along with the unaffected (54%) constitute 7 8 72% of regulated genes in CoQ deficiency, which were not significantly altered after CoQ 9 10 10 10 11 supplementation. 12 13 To explain this differential response to respiratory dysfunction, we analyzed the DNAmethylation 14 15 profile of 20 amongFor the most peer altered genes listedreview in table 2. These onlygenes encompass the main 16 17 biological processes and pathways affected by CoQ10 deficiency (table 3). Upregulated genes, which 18 19 20 were unaffected by CoQ10 supplementation, had less defined DNA methylation sites in their promoter 21 22 regions. 23 24 Genes with partial restoration of their expression after CoQ10 supplementation showed precise 25 26 methylation and demethylation profiles that may explain their altered expression during CoQ10 27 28 deficiency. The methylation degree of these genes changed after treatment, and may be responsible for 29 30 31 the modulation of expression (Table 3). The patterns of methylation of activated and repressed genes 32 33 in CoQ10 deficiency that could be normalized by CoQ10 supplementation, were either unaffected or http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 only slightly affected by the treatment, and we did not detect new methylation sites after CoQ10 36 37 supplementation. 38 39 40 However, a few genes showed significant differences in the methylation degree after the treatment, 41 42 which correspond to the partially restored genes that maintain the specific expression pattern of on September 28, 2021 by guest.

CoQ10 treatment did not alter 56 57 the methylation degree of these genes and subsequently the expression level was maintained. 58 59 60 11 For peer review only - http://bmjopen.bmj.com/site/about/guidelines.xhtml Page 13 of 110 BMJ Open BMJ Open: first published as 10.1136/bmjopen-2012-002524 on 25 March 2013.

Accordingly to these results, we have shown here that fibroblasts from patients with 21 22 CoQ10 deficiency have reorganized their genetic resources to cope with this mitochondrial dysfunction. 23 24 Consistent with the role of CoQ10 in bioenergetics, the lack of CoQ10 would force the cell to support it 25 26 mainly by glycolysis, whereas both mitochondrial lipid metabolism and respiratory chain were 27 28 repressed (supplementary tables 2 and 4). These findings, together with the mild repression of 29 30 31 cytosolic enzymes that oxidize NADH (cytochrome b5 and its oxidoreductases listed in table 2) could 32 33 indicate that NADH is mainly used for biosynthetic purposes rather than for energy production. http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 Supplementation with CoQ10, the current therapy for all forms of CoQ10 deficiency, restored 36 37 respiration through enhanced sugar utilization, but did not stimulate lipid metabolism.

1 2 undifferentiated phenotype, upregulating stressinduced proteins, and inhibiting apoptosis and cell 3 4 death pathways. These results recapitulate a survival network that can be observed in nutritional stress 5 6 such as when cells are grown in galactoseenriched media25. 7 8 The survival adaptation shown by CoQ deficient cells included a global resistance mechanism that is 9 10 10 11 observed also during the initial phase of tumorigenesis. In fact, the CoQ10deficient expression profile 12 26 27 13 was very similar to that described during myeloid cells transformation and breast tumors . 14 15 Moreover, someFor of the regulated peer genes in CoQreview10 deficiency (listed only in table 2 as underlined bold letter) 16 17 are used as biomarkers in several types of cancer28, like KRT34, the cell cyclerelated POSTN, 18 19 20 MCAM, EFEMP1 and VCAN, and the apoptotic and cell resistancerelated CYP1B1, XAF1 and 21 22 TNFRSF10D. Although these biomarkers behaved in CoQ10 deficiency (increased or decreased) as 23 24 described by Yoo and collaborators28, there is no sign of tumor formation reported in the patients so 25 26 far. In addition, cellular senescence, a defining feature of premalignant tumors29, is characterized by a 27 28 gene expression pattern similar to that of CoQ deficient fibroblasts (supplementary table 5). 29 10 30 31 Supplementation with CoQ10 enhanced both stress response and immunity pathways. Although the 32 33 pathway of cell death was partially restored, cell cycle and growth, and the mechanisms to prevent http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 differentiation and development were not. These results indicate that the mitochondrial dysfunction 36 37 due to CoQ10 deficiency induces a stable survival adaptation of somatic cells in patients at early or 38 39 40 postnatal development, and we speculate that cells unable to institute, or to maintain, this survival 41 42 mechanism during differentiation will die, contributing to the pathological phenotype. on September 28, 2021 by guest. Protected copyright. 43 44 45 46 A stable DNA methylation profile is responsible of specific gene expression in CoQ10 deficiency 47 48 The cellular adaptation to CoQ deficiency enhanced DNA demethylation of genes that regulate cell 49 10 50 51 cycle activation, apoptosis inhibition, and cell stress resistance as part of an adaptation survival 52 53 mechanism. Comparable results were observed in several models of epigenetic regulation by 54 55 demethylation (Table S5), whereas DNA methylation inhibits activation of genes related to 56 57 tumorogenesis and apoptosis 30. 58 59 60 13 For peer review only - http://bmjopen.bmj.com/site/about/guidelines.xhtml Page 15 of 110 BMJ Open BMJ Open: first published as 10.1136/bmjopen-2012-002524 on 25 March 2013.

1 2 Pathways unaffected by CoQ10 treatment corresponded to stably demethylated genes, whereas those 3 4 that responded to CoQ10 supplementation were controlled by genes with unchanged methylation 5 6 patterns. 7 8 We did not find changes in the methylation degree of all genes affected by CoQ deficiency, 9 10 10 11 suggesting that other modalities of gene regulation are responsible, including epigenetic mechanisms 12 13 such as histone modifications by methylation and acetylation, or even DNA methylation in CpG 14 15 islands other thanFor those studied peer here. Interestingly, review it has been reported only that CoQ10 regulates lipid 16 17 metabolism in mice liver without effect on the DNA methylation profile31, indicating that 18 19 20 supplemented CoQ10 by itself may not alter the DNA methylation pattern that cells acquired during the 21 22 survival adaptation to CoQ10 deficiency. 23 24 Mechanisms unaffected by therapy corresponded to stably DNA demethylated genes, which were 25 26 responsible for the acquisition of the undifferentiated state for survival and resistance that cells obtain 27 28 during the adaptation to CoQ deficiency, whereas the responsive to CoQ supplementation were 29 10 10 30 31 controlled by genes with unchanged methylation patterns and correspond mainly to metabolic genes 32 33 and those related with the restoration of mitochondrial function. http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 We propose that these epigenetic changes may be established as early as during the fetal life32 in order 36 37 to cope with CoQ10 deficiency; these cells then maintain this adaptive response throughout their life. 38 39 40 We speculate that cells unable to maintain this survival mechanism during differentiation would die 41 42 contributing to the pathological phenotype. on September 28, 2021 by guest. Protected copyright. 43 44 Our model has some limits: we treated cells only for one week and in principle we cannot rule out that 45 46 prolonged exposure to CoQ10 could restore also some of the other unaffected pathways. Alternatively, 47 48 incomplete recovery of the gene expression profiles could be explained by the fact that exogenous 49 50 51 CoQ10 can rescues the bioenergetic defect, but not all other functions of CoQ10 in these cells, as it has 52 33 53 been observed in other organisms . 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 14 For peer review only - http://bmjopen.bmj.com/site/about/guidelines.xhtml BMJ Open Page 16 of 110 BMJ Open: first published as 10.1136/bmjopen-2012-002524 on 25 March 2013.

1 2 ABSTRACT 3 4 5 6 Objectives 7 Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) deficiency syndrome is a rare condition that causes a mitochondrial 8 dysfunction and includes a variety of clinical presentations, as encephalomyopathy, ataxia and renal 9 10 failure. First, we sought to set up what all have in common, and then investigate why CoQ10 11 supplementation reverses the bioenergetics alterations in cultured cells but not all the cellular 12 phenotypes. 13 14 Design: modelling study 15 This work modelsFor the transcriptome peer of human review CoQ10 deficiency syndromeonly in primary fibroblast from 16 patients and study the genetic response to CoQ10 treatment in these cells. 17 18 Setting 19 20 Four hospitals and medical centres from Spain, Italy and USA, and two research laboratories from 21 Spain and USA. 22 23 Participants 24 Primary cells were collected from patients in the above centres. 25 26 Measurements 27 We characterized by microarray analysis the expression profile of fibroblasts from seven CoQ10- 28 deficient patients (three had primary deficiency, four had a secondary form) and aged-matched 29 30 controls, before and after CoQ10 supplementation. Results were validated by Q-RT-PCR. The profile 31 of DNA (CpG) methylation was evaluated for a subset of gene with displayed altered expression. 32 33 Results http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 CoQ10 deficient fibroblasts (independently from the etiology) showed a common transcriptomic profile 35 that promotes cell survival by activating cell cycle and growth, cell stress responses, and inhibiting cell 36 death and immune responses. Energy production was supported mainly by glycolysis while CoQ10 37 supplementation restored oxidative phosphorylation. Expression of genes involved in cell death 38 pathways was partially restored by treatment, while genes involved in differentiation, cell cycle and 39 40 growth were not affected. Stably demethylated genes were unaffected by treatment whereas we 41 observed restored gene expression in either non-methylated genes or those with an unchanged 42 methylation patterns. on September 28, 2021 by guest.

Deficient cells unable to maintain this survival state during differentiation would 21 death contributing to the pathological phenotype. 22 • Supplementation with CoQ10 restores respiration through enhanced sugar rather than lipid 23 metabolism; partially restores stress response, immunity, cell death and apoptotic pathways; 24 and does not affect cell cycle, cell growth, and differentiation and development pathways. 25 26 • Survival transcriptome in the CoQ10 deficiency syndrome is acquired by epigenetic 27 modifications of DNA: DNA-demethylated genes corresponded to unaffected genes by CoQ10 28 treatment, whereas those with unchanged DNA-methylation pattern corresponded to genes with 29 responsive expression to CoQ10 supplementation. These results would approach to explain the 30 incomplete recovery of clinical symptoms after CoQ10 treatment, at least in some patients. 31 32 33 Strengths and Limitations http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 • Human CoQ deficiencies are considered rare diseases with low prevalence, which limits the 35 10 36 sample size. 37 • The genetic heterogeneity of this disease is due to mutations in any of the 11 genes directly 38 involved in the synthesis of CoQ10 inside mitochondria, or other mutations altering somehow 39 the mitochondria and its metabolism, affecting their inner CoQ10 synthesis as a side effect, will 40 course with CoQ10 deficiency. 41

1 2 INTRODUCTION 3 4 Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a small electron carrier which is an essential cofactor for several 5 6 mitochondrial biochemical pathways such as oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), beta-oxidation, 7 8 and pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis. CoQ biosynthesis depends on a multi-enzyme complex1 that 9 10 10 11 involves at least ten proteins encoded by COQ genes. Mutations in any of these genes cause primary 12 2 13 CoQ10 deficiencies, which are clinically heterogeneous mitochondrial diseases . Clinical presentations 14 15 include encephalomyopathyFor peerwith lipid storage review myopathy and myoglobinuria only3; ataxia and cerebellar 16 17 atrophy4; severe infantile encephalomyopathy with renal failure5; isolated myopathy6; and nephrotic 18 19 7 8- 20 syndrome . Secondary CoQ10 deficiency has also been associated with diverse mitochondrial diseases

21 13 14 15 22 . In all of these conditions, CoQ10 supplementation partially improves symptoms and usually 23 8 16 17 24 induces a return to normal growth and respiration in CoQ10-deficient fibroblasts .

This suggests both a remodeling of differentiation and growth maintenance and an http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 increase of cell survival mechanisms. Specifically, genes involved in cell cycle activation and 36 37 maintenance were up-regulated, and genes involved in cell cycle regulation increased or decreased 38 39 40 their expression depending of their activating or repressing roles. This proliferative response was also 41 42 enhanced by the repression of cellular attachment factors and by the activation of extracellular matrix on September 28, 2021 by guest.

In parallel, GO clusters favoring cell cycle 45 46 and cell division were activated, and those inhibiting cell growth were repressed (supplementary table 47 48 4). The differentiation of these cells was compromised because many required factors, transducers, 49 50 51 antigens, and structural proteins appeared down-regulated, whereas repressors of differentiation during 52 53 development were overexpressed (table 2).

1 2 Cell cycle activation was supported by the up-regulation of CDK6 (Table 2), a cyclin-dependent 3 4 kinase that induces entry into the S-phase, and by a robust repression (more than 9-fold) of 5 6 p21/CDKN1A, an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase that blocks cell cycle at the G1/S check point to 7 8 stimulate cell differentiation. Moreover, subsequent pathways inactivated by p2123 were enhanced in 9 10 11 CoQ10-deficient cells (supplementary table 5), as well as both transcription factors E2F7 and E2F8 12 24 13 (table 2), which push the progression of the cell cycle, activate cell survival and inhibit apoptosis . 14 15 Cell survival in ForCoQ10-deficient peer cells was improvedreview by the induction only of DNA-repairing mechanisms, 16 17 and by the establishment of pathways that regulate Jun-kinases and activate NAD(P)H-CoQ 18 19 20 oxidoreductase, which are involved in stress responses (Tables 2 and S4). Components of apoptosis 21 22 and cell death pathways were systematically repressed (Table 2), including tumor suppressor genes, 23 24 antigens, intracellular mediators, and effectors of cell death. Also, cell surface receptors and 25 26 modulators that inhibit apoptosis were greatly activated. 27 28 Interestingly, CoQ treatment did not alter the newly acquired resistance to cell death in CoQ - 29 10 10 30 31 deficient fibroblasts, kept cell growth activated, and allowed a higher degree of differentiation (Tables 32 33 2 and S8). However, genes controlling stress resistance pathways and cortical cytoskeleton were http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 completely restored, as indicated by the shifts in gene expression listed in Table 2. However, treated 36 37 fibroblasts kept the DNA repair mechanism activated. 38 39 40 Signaling-related genes and pathways were differentially affected by CoQ10-deficiency, but most of 41 42 immunity-related genes showed a general down-regulation (Table 2).

1 2 were specifically altered after CoQ10 treatment in both deficient and non-deficient cells (5%). The 3 4 remaining 16% corresponded to partially restored genes, which slightly alter their expression level 5

These genes along with the unaffected (54%) constitute 7 8 72% of regulated genes in CoQ deficiency, which were not significantly altered after CoQ 9 10 10 10 11 supplementation. 12 13 To explain this differential response to respiratory dysfunction, we analyzed the DNA-methylation 14 15 profile of 20 amongFor the most peer altered genes listedreview in table 2. These onlygenes encompass the main 16 17 biological processes and pathways affected by CoQ10 deficiency (table 3). Up-regulated genes, which 18 19 20 were unaffected by CoQ10 supplementation, had less defined DNA methylation sites in their promoter 21 22 regions. 23 24 Genes with partial restoration of their expression after CoQ10 supplementation showed precise 25 26 methylation and demethylation profiles that may explain their altered expression during CoQ10 27 28 deficiency. The methylation degree of these genes changed after treatment, and may be responsible for 29 30 31 the modulation of expression (Table 3). The patterns of methylation of activated and repressed genes 32 33 in CoQ10 deficiency that could be normalized by CoQ10 supplementation, were either unaffected or http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 only slightly affected by the treatment, and we did not detect new methylation sites after CoQ10 36 37 supplementation. 38 39 40 However, a few genes showed significant differences in the methylation degree after the treatment, 41 42 which correspond to the partially restored genes that maintain the specific expression pattern of on September 28, 2021 by guest.

1 2 3 4 DISCUSSION 5 6 7 8 CoQ -deficient fibroblasts readapt the energetic metabolism and CoQ -treatment restores 9 10 10 10 1 11 CoQ10 is an essential component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain , therefore dysfunctional 12 3-7 8-13 13 mitochondria are a common finging in both primary CoQ10 deficiencies and secondary forms . 14 15 Although each formFor presents peer a specific clinical review phenotype, all these only conditions display a substantial 16 17 reduction of cellular CoQ10 content and deficit in the mitochondrial enzymatic activities of respiratory 18 19 20 chain (table 1). Accordingly to these results, we have shown here that fibroblasts from patients with 21 22 CoQ10 deficiency have reorganized their genetic resources to cope with this mitochondrial dysfunction. 23 24 Consistent with the role of CoQ10 in bioenergetics, the lack of CoQ10 would force the cell to support it 25 26 mainly by glycolysis, whereas both mitochondrial lipid metabolism and respiratory chain were 27 28 repressed (supplementary tables 2 and 4). These findings, together with the mild repression of 29 30 31 cytosolic enzymes that oxidize NADH (cytochrome b5 and its oxidoreductases listed in table 2) could 32 33 indicate that NADH is mainly used for biosynthetic purposes rather than for energy production. http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 Supplementation with CoQ10, the current therapy for all forms of CoQ10 deficiency, restored 36 37 respiration through enhanced sugar utilization, but did not stimulate lipid metabolism. The expression 38 39 40 of genes involved in the glycolytic pathway was partially or completely normalized after CoQ10 41 42 treatment, whereas the repressed genes involved in the respiratory chain were activated.

These results recapitulate a survival network that can be observed in nutritional stress 5 6 such as when cells are grown in galactose-enriched media25. 7 8 The survival adaptation shown by CoQ -deficient cells included a global resistance mechanism that is 9 10 10 11 observed also during the initial phase of tumorigenesis. In fact, the CoQ10-deficient expression profile 12 26 27 13 was very similar to that described during myeloid cells transformation and breast tumors . 14 15 Moreover, someFor of the regulated peer genes in CoQreview10 deficiency (listed only in table 2 as underlined bold letter) 16 17 are used as biomarkers in several types of cancer28, like KRT34, the cell cycle-related POSTN, 18 19 20 MCAM, EFEMP1 and VCAN, and the apoptotic and cell resistance-related CYP1B1, XAF1 and 21 22 TNFRSF10D. Although these biomarkers behaved in CoQ10 deficiency (increased or decreased) as 23 24 described by Yoo and collaborators28, there is no sign of tumor formation reported in the patients so 25 26 far. In addition, cellular senescence, a defining feature of pre-malignant tumors29, is characterized by a 27 28 gene expression pattern similar to that of CoQ -deficient fibroblasts (supplementary table 5). 29 10 30 31 Supplementation with CoQ10 enhanced both stress response and immunity pathways. Although the 32 33 pathway of cell death was partially restored, cell cycle and growth, and the mechanisms to prevent http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 differentiation and development were not. These results indicate that the mitochondrial dysfunction 36 37 due to CoQ10 deficiency induces a stable survival adaptation of somatic cells in patients at early or 38 39 40 postnatal development, and we speculate that cells unable to institute, or to maintain, this survival 41 42 mechanism during differentiation will die, contributing to the pathological phenotype. on September 28, 2021 by guest.

1 2 Pathways unaffected by CoQ10 treatment corresponded to stably demethylated genes, whereas those 3 4 that responded to CoQ10 supplementation were controlled by genes with unchanged methylation 5 6 patterns. 7 8 We did not find changes in the methylation degree of all genes affected by CoQ deficiency, 9 10 10 11 suggesting that other modalities of gene regulation are responsible, including epigenetic mechanisms 12 13 such as histone modifications by methylation and acetylation, or even DNA methylation in CpG 14 15 islands other thanFor those studied peer here. Interestingly, review it has been reported only that CoQ10 regulates lipid 16 17 metabolism in mice liver without effect on the DNA methylation profile31, indicating that 18 19 20 supplemented CoQ10 by itself may not alter the DNA methylation pattern that cells acquired during the 21 22 survival adaptation to CoQ10 deficiency. 23 24 Mechanisms unaffected by therapy corresponded to stably DNA demethylated genes, which were 25 26 responsible for the acquisition of the undifferentiated state for survival and resistance that cells obtain 27 28 during the adaptation to CoQ deficiency, whereas the responsive to CoQ supplementation were 29 10 10 30 31 controlled by genes with unchanged methylation patterns and correspond mainly to metabolic genes 32 33 and those related with the restoration of mitochondrial function. http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 We propose that these epigenetic changes may be established as early as during the fetal life32 in order 36 37 to cope with CoQ10 deficiency; these cells then maintain this adaptive response throughout their life. 38 39 40 We speculate that cells unable to maintain this survival mechanism during differentiation would die 41 42 contributing to the pathological phenotype. on September 28, 2021 by guest.

Downloaded from 4 SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 5 6 7 8 9 Identification of genes, biological process and pathways regulated in CoQ10 deficiency. 10 11 12 Data analysis for each gene in the array compared the signal of each patient’s fibroblast mRNA 13 14 with the signal of each control fibroblast mRNA, over which the statistical analyses were 15 16 performed. MAS5 algorithm and SAM software were performed in order to select those probe sets 17 For peer review only 18 19 with significant differences in gene expression. Approximately from 6% to 11% of the probe sets 20 21 present in the array were picked with a significant fold change higher than 1.5, while the false 22 23 discovery rate (FDR) was maintained lower than 5%, the maximum value to consider changes as 24 25 26 significant [1]. Even more, we reduced the FDR to cero by increasing the stringency of the 27 28 statistical analysis via extension of the cut off threshold (Δ-value). After such filtering, from 842 to 29 30 31 1672 probe sets were identified as showing significant differences in expression between CoQ10- 32 33 deficient fibroblasts and control cells, representing approximately 2% to 3% of the array 34 35 (supplementary table 9 online). Later on, we compared the regulated probes in each comparative 36 37 38 analysis in order to get a list of genes that were regulated simultaneously in all patient’s fibroblasts http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 39 40 at the same time (supplementary tables 10 and 11 online). We found 136 probes whose expression 41 42 was regulated similarly in all samples, including 47 UP-regulated probes and 89 DOWN-regulated 43 44 45 ones. Most of the other probes that were selected as significant in only one sample were no selected

Protected copyright. 47 in other (2575 probes were regulated similarly in 3 or less of the 4 samples), and 174 probes 48 49 appeared UP-regulated in some samples and DOWN-regulated in others. Taking in mind that an 50 51 52 Affymetrix GeneChip® Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array contains 54675 probes, the 53 54 probability of the 136 selected probes to be randomly selected in one comparative analysis is 55 56 57 0.0025, which represents the 136 over the total amount of probes present in the array. This 58 59 probability is reduced to 0.00000625 (less that one probe per array) if we consider two analyses to 60 select randomly the 136 probes, and it is reduced to almost zero if we consider the four comparative

1 2 analyses over which we ran the statistical analysis. This result gave us the security that the changes 3 BMJ Open: first published as 10.1136/bmjopen-2012-002524 on 25 March 2013. Downloaded from 4 in the gene expression were due to the mitochondrial of CoQ deficiency syndrome and not to a 5 10 6 7 random selection of probes. Then, the probes were grouped in a list to define the most altered genes 8 9 as biological markers in the mitochondrial of CoQ10 deficiency syndrome. We found that many of 10 11 12 them represented the same gene, so that the 136 probes correspond to 116 regulated genes (Table 13 14 2). These were validated in selected representative cases by quantitative real-time PCR (Table 2 and 15 16 supplementary table 1 online). To corroborate the altered gene expression, we considered to re- 17 For peer review only 18 19 hybridize the same samples with another oligonucleotide array, the Affymetrix Gene Chip® Human 20 21 Gene 1.0 ST Array. The analysis was performed as follows: PLIER algorithm and SAM software 22 23 were performed in order to select those probe sets with significant differences in gene expression 24 25 26 (s0=50; R=1.5; cut off threshold of delta-value so that FDR=0%). The regulation on gene 27 28 expression is listed in parallel to the main analysis in table 2 and supplementary table 1 online. 29 30 31 Finally, we called such genes as genes regulated in the mitochondrial CoQ10-deficiency syndrome. 32 33 34 35 CoQ10 supplementation partially restores the altered gene expression of CoQ10-deficient 36 37 38 fibroblasts. http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 39 40 We extracted total RNA from 5 different cultures of CoQ10-deficient fibroblast treated for 48 hours 41 42 with 30 µM of CoQ10 and duplicate hybridizations were performed with the Affymetrix Gene 43 44 45 Chip® Human Gene 1.0 ST Array. The statistical analysis was performed as follow, using PLIER

After that we made a comparative analysis between the three types of fibroblasts: 53 54 control (C), fibroblasts from CoQ10 deficient patients (P), and CoQ10 supplemented fibroblasts from 55 56 57 CoQ10-deficient patients (PQ). Finally, we obtained three different comparative analyses: treated 58 59 versus non-treated fibroblasts (PQ-P), treated versus control fibroblasts (PQ-C), and non-treated 60

Downloaded from 4 deficient fibroblasts and control ones. 5 6 7 Independently of the minimum full change threshold that we used, around a half of the probes 8 9 selected with the comparative analyses between CoQ10 deficient and control fibroblasts (both P-C 10 11 12 and PQ-C) were selected in the analysis between treated and non-treated fibroblasts (supplementary 13 14 table 3 online), indicating that CoQ10 supplementation altered the expression of around 50% of the 15 16 regulated genes by CoQ10 deficiency. Also, by increasing the minimum full change threshold, the 17 For peer review only 18 19 number of selected probes as significant was halved in each comparative analysis. 20 21 Considering that a regulated probe, either being up-regulated or down-regulated, in a comparative 22 23 analysis can be regulated or not in the others comparative analyses, 27 possibilities can be achieve 24 25 26 for a probe to be or not to be regulated in one, two or in all the comparative analyses 27 28 (supplementary table 4 online and figure S1 for a graphical view). Because of the objective of these 29 30 31 analyses is to study how the altered gene expression in CoQ10 deficiency was regulated with the 32 33 supplementation of CoQ10, we decided to not consider those probes regulated only in one 34 35 comparative analysis, as it happened using a threshold of twice for the minimum full change 36 37 38 (R=2.0), since those genes were slightly modified with a lower R-value (R=1.5) and became http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 39 40 unselected and no significant by increasing the minimum full change threshold (i.e. R=2.0). 41 42 After that, we established 5 groups of classification for a probe to be regulated after CoQ10 43 44 45 supplementation (supplementary figure 1 online for a graphical interpretation and supplementary

46 on September 28, 2021 by guest. Protected copyright. 47 table 2 online for full details). Around half of the regulated probes in CoQ10-deficiency were 48 49 unaffected after the treatment with CoQ , whereas most of the 50% that changed the gene 50 10 51 52 expression did not affect the relative pattern respect control fibroblasts. Only the 20% restored 53 54 completely the gene expression after CoQ10 supplementation and the 3% shift their expression 55 56 57 showing an opposite regulation than in CoQ10-deficiency. The 72% of the probes in CoQ10 58 59 deficiency kept a similar gene expression pattern in the presence of CoQ10 respect to control 60 fibroblasts.

1 2 Also, we looked the highly regulated genes in the CoQ10-deficiency listed in table 1 to see if the 3 BMJ Open: first published as 10.1136/bmjopen-2012-002524 on 25 March 2013. Downloaded from 4 supplementation with CoQ modify, restore or even alter more their expression. Almost all the 5 10 6 7 genes were regulated in one patient or treatment, although only 73% of the known genes listed in 8 9 table 2 were regulated according to the previously described groups of classification (75 classified 10 11 12 out of 103 known genes). The 54% of the classified genes restored the control expression level after 13 14 the treatment either partially (19%, 14 out of 75) or completely (35%, 26 of the 75), whereas the 15 16 27% kept their regulation as it happened in CoQ10-deficiency (20 out of 75). The 13% of the genes 17 For peer review only 18 19 (10 out of 75) presented an opposite regulation in the presence of CoQ10 respect to that in CoQ10- 20 21 deficiency, and the 5% of them (4 out of 75) amplified the altered gene expression showed by the 22 23 patient fibroblasts, whereas only 1% of the regulated in CoQ -deficiency (1 out of 75) were CoQ - 24 10 10 25 26 specific regulated after the treatment. Such changes had been next discussed in the main text. 27 28 To get a biological meaning of such changes, we decided to study the gene ontologies (GO) 29 30 31 regulated by CoQ10 supplementation in CoQ10 deficient fibroblasts within each group of 32 33 classification, using the GORILLA software (Gene Ontology enrichment analysis and visualization 34 35 tool) [2]. After the statistical analysis we got 70 regulated GO with a significant P-value<0.001 and 36 37 38 a given enrichment value that represents the more altered GO within each group of classification http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 39 40 (supplementary table 5 online). A positive enrichment value signified that CoQ10 supplementation 41 42 kept activated the expression of the gene included within the selected GO, whereas a negative value 43 44 45 meant that the expression was kept down.

Downloaded from 4 unknown. 5 6 7 Related to lipid metabolism: 8 9 Cholesterol metabolism was highly repressed in CoQ10-deficient fibroblasts and multiple enzymes 10 11 12 were affected, including enzymes involved directly in cholesterol biosynthesis (FTFT1, IDI1), their 13 14 regulators (CH25H, RSAD2), regulators of cholesterol concentration inside the cell (INSIG1, 15 16 LDLR), and enzymes that catalyze the rate-limiting step in the biosynthetic pathway of both sterols 17 For peer review only 18 19 (SQLE) and unsaturated fatty acids (SCD). Overall, ß-oxidation of fatty acids was unaffected, but 20 21 genes acting on its regulation decreased by 50%. The repressed enzymes of lipid metabolism and 22 23 fatty acids ß-oxidation remained down-regulated after CoQ supplementation (table 2), although 24 10 25 26 the repressed key regulator proteins (CH25H and the insulin-inducible gene INSIG1) that control 27 28 cholesterol concentration inside the cell inverted their expression levels and appeared highly up- 29 30 31 regulated by treatment. 32 33 Related to insulin metabolism: 34 35 Two peptidases involved in the processing of both proinsulin and other prohormones (CPE, selected 36 37 38 twice in the array with two different probes) and in the cleavage of insulin-like growth factor http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 39 40 binding proteins (PAPPA) were highly activated, whereas a convertase (PCSK2, also selected 41 42 twice) involved in the regulation of insulin biosynthesis was highly repressed (Table 2). Also, a 43 44 45 liver-specific glycogen phosphorylase (PYGL), responsible for glucose mobilization, was

These two latter genes shift their expression to either up-regulation or to control levels 48 49 after CoQ supplementation. 50 10 51 52 Related to cell cycle: 53 54 Specifically, genes involved in cell cycle activation and maintenance were up-regulated, including 55 56 57 mitogen, growth factors and receptors (VEGFA, POSTN, SEMA5A), intracellular activators for 58 59 MAP-kinase pathway that enhances cell proliferation and reduces differentiation (AEBP1, CSRP2, 60 DOK5, MID1), and transcriptional activators that mediate growth factor activity and inhibit

Downloaded from 4 increased or decreased their expression depending of their activating or repressing roles (Table 2). 5 6 7 Furthermore, both a mediator of anti-proliferative signals (IFITM1) and a transcriptional repressor 8 9 of cell division (BHLHB5) were down-regulated. This proliferative transcriptome is also facilitated 10 11 12 by the repression of cellular attachment factors (EDN1, MATN2, MCAM, MKX) and by the up- 13 14 regulation of extracellular matrix proteins that reduce cell attachment (PSG6, DCN, PKP4) and 15 16 favor cell division (EFEMP1, VCAN). 17 For peer review only 18 19 GO clusters favoring cell cycle and cell division were activated and those inhibiting cell growth 20 21 were repressed (Table 3). Thus, there was activation of DNA replication, mitosis, meiosis, synthesis 22 23 of microtubule components involved in cell division, such as spindle pole, segregation of 24 25 26 chromosomes, and the positive growth regulation. On the other hand, there was a general down- 27 28 regulation of biological processes related with nucleosome assembly, and chromosome organization 29 30 31 and biogenesis. This trend could be explained by the repression of Swi/Snf chromatin remodeling 32 33 apparatus, in which SMARCA1 and SMARCA4 components were specifically down-regulated in 34 35 all CoQ10-deficient fibroblasts (Table 2), thus preventing the cell cycle arrest that is induced by the 36 37 38 activation of p21 pathway by BRG1/SMARCA4 [3]. http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 39 40 Related to differentiation: 41 42 Differentiation of these cells was compromised because of the down-regulation of factors necessary 43 44 45 for differentiation (BDNF, GRP, NTNG1, PTN), transcription factors expressed during

Finally, the maintenance of cell division is 5 6 7 supported by the fact that 47 of the 51 genes encoding for proteins involved in both DNA 8 9 replication and cell cycle progression behaved similarly to those genes regulated after the addition 10 11 12 of serum or growth factors to fibroblasts [6, 7]. 13 14 The gene expression profile of CoQ10-deficient fibroblasts was similar to that shown by different 15 16 cell models (supplementary table 5 online). CoQ10-deficient cells repressed CD31 and presented 17 For peer review only 18 19 similar gene expression profile than cells lacking CD31 [8], which maintains the non-differentiated 20 21 phenotype and stemness properties. Similarly, CoQ10-deficient cells showed the same pattern of 22 23 gene expression than (1) undifferentiated tumor cells compared to well-differentiated cancer cells 24 25 26 [9], (2) embryonic stem cells compared to differentiated brain and bone marrow cells [10], and (3) 27 28 immature lymphocytes compared to both mature CD4(+) T cells [11] and B-cells [12]. Also CoQ10- 29 30 31 deficient cells were regulated as hematopoietic stem cells, activating the mechanism to avoid the 32 33 replicative stress and bypass the senescence program [13]. 34 35 Related to cell survival and cell resistance: 36 37 38 Within the most regulated genes classified under these altered biological processes (Table 3), we http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 39 40 note that several oxidoreductases that take part in xenobiotic and drug metabolism (CYP1B1, 41 42 MGC87042), a stress-induced protein (TMEM49), and a gene involved in the nucleotide excision 43 44 45 repair (RAD23B) were induced.

In parallel, tumor suppressor genes (AIM1 and 53 54 APCDD1), cell-surface antigens that facilitate apoptosis in tumor cells (MAGED1, MAGED4/4B), 55 56 57 and Rho GTPase (RAC2) that activates the intracellular signaling to induce apoptosis appeared 58 59 down-regulated.

Downloaded from 4 also showed repression of some effectors of cell death involved in cytoskeleton reassembly during 5 6 7 apoptosis (TRIM55) and of the interferon-induced genes that activate apoptosis (IFI6, and XAF1). 8 9 Gene expression pattern showed that CoQ10-deficient fibroblasts had a higher survival and stress 10 11 12 resistance, a phenomenon similar to the up-regulation of the drug-resistant gene profile in cancer 13 14 cells compared to chemo-sensitive cell lines [5], and to the down regulated and repressed pathways 15 16 in oxidative stress induced in epithelium cells [14]. Furthermore, CoQ10-deficient fibroblasts 17 For peer review only 18 19 showed a gene expression pattern that was opposite to that of fibroblasts treated with either 20 21 transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß) [15] or with the antitumor drug trabectedin [16, 17]. 22 23 Related to signalling: 24 25 26 Signaling pathways were also affected by CoQ10-deficiency (Table 2) through the activation of 27 28 genes, each selected three times in the statistical analysis, including a GTP-binding protein 29 30 31 (ARL4C) involved in transferrin recycling from early endosomes, a ubiquitin specific peptidase 32 33 with no peptidase activity (USP53), and a G-protein receptor (GABBR2) that inhibits adenilil 34 35 cyclase and activates phospholipase A2. A set of signaling genes were down regulated including a 36 37 38 G-protein (GNG2) and a guanine exchange factor for G-proteins (HERC6), a finding that agrees http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 39 40 with the repression of GTPase activity and G-protein signaling showed in table 2. There was also 41 42 repression of a Rab effector (MLPH) involved in vesicular transport, an adaptor of cell surface 43 44 45 receptors to Tyrosine kinase (NCK2) that also interact with T-cell surface glycoproteins, and an

However, the 48 49 molecular activator of Rho GTPase appeared activated, which could be related to the activation of 50 51 52 cytoskeleton for contraction as shown above. 53 54 Related to immunity: 55 56 57 CoQ10-deficient fibroblasts also showed a general inhibition of most immunity-related genes (Table 58 59 2), and of pathways and biological processes involved in immunity regulation (Table 3).

Both 13 14 OAS1 and OASL genes were also repressed but to a lesser extent. Other interferon-inducible 15 16 proteins markedly repressed in CoQ10-deficient fibroblast were described above and include the two 17 For peer review only 18 19 regulators of apoptosis (IFI6 and XAF1), the regulator of development (EPSTI1) and the inhibitor 20 21 of cell proliferation (IFITM1). Taken together, these findings support the concept that immune 22 23 response was generally repressed in CoQ -deficient cells (Table 3), such as the response to virus 24 10 25 26 and lymphocyte-T functions, including proliferation and activation. 27 28 CoQ10 supplementation restored the gene expression of almost all interferon-inducible genes to 29 30 31 control levels. This restoration mainly affects stress and immune responses and can be attributed to 32 33 the anti-inflammatory properties of CoQ10 [18, 19]. Treatment of fibroblasts with interleukin-6 [20] 34 35 or treatment of endothelial cells with interferon [21] induced a transcriptomic profile opposite to 36 37 38 that described for CoQ10-deficient fibroblasts because activated pathways with interleukin or http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 39 40 interferon were repressed in CoQ10 deficiency. 41 42 43 44 45
