Investigating Nephronophthisis Using a Novel Murine And Investigating nephronophthisis using a novel murine and cell model. Ann Marie Hynes A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute of Genetic Medicine, Newcastle University, September 2013 i Abstract Nephronophthisis (NPHP) is a major cause of pediatric renal failure. Currently there is little understanding of the aetiology of the disease. In order to identify the molecular events leading to NPHP, we have created a novel mutant mouse strain containing a truncating mutation in the Cep290 gene. Patients with mutations in CEP290 present with a ciliopathy phenotype that includes retinal dystrophy, cerebellum defects and NPHP. Characterisation of Cep290LacZ/LacZ mice confirms that they display all the features of the human condition. Microarray analysis of newborn kidney tissue was used to explore initiating events leading to NPHP. Ciliopathies have recently been associated with either disrupted Wingless integrated (Wnt) or sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling. We show that mutant kidneys display abnormal Shh signaling in the absence of Wnt signaling abnormalities. Primary cell cultures of collecting duct (CDT) cells (isolated from Cep290LacZ/LacZ mice and wild-type litter mates crossed with the “immorto” mouse) were established and characterised. CDT cells expressed the mineral corticoid receptor (MR) and the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) alpha subunit. The CDT cell lines formed epithelial layers and formed tubules when maintained in 3D culture media. Cep290LacZ/LacZ CDT cells displayed ciliogenesis abnormalities as well as abnormal spheroids with loss of lumen when grown in 3D culture. Pharmacological activation of Shh signaling (purmorphamine) partially rescues the spheroid and ciliogenesis defects in Cep290LacZ/LacZ CDT cells. This implicates abnormal Shh signaling in the onset of NPHP and suggests that targeted treatment of Shh antagonists have therapeutic potential. ii Dedication In loving memory of my Mam.

Johnson∗ Department of Ophthalmology and Neuroscience, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK Received 27 May 2014 Revised 11 July 2014 Accepted 14 July 2014 Abstract. Joubert syndrome (JBTS) and Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) are recessive neurodevelopmental conditions caused by mutations in proteins that are structural or functional components of the primary cilium. In this review, we provide an overview of their clinical diagnosis, management and molecular genetics. Both have variable phenotypes, extreme genetic heterogeneity, and display allelism both with each other and other ciliopathies. Recent advances in genetic technology have significantly improved diagnosis and clinical management of ciliopathy patients, with the delineation of some general genotype-phenotype correlations. We highlight those that are most relevant for clinical practice, including the correlation between TMEM67 mutations and the JBTS variant phenotype of COACH syndrome. The subcellular localization of the known MKS and JBTS proteins is now well-described, and we discuss some of the contemporary ideas about ciliopathy disease pathogenesis. Most JBTS and MKS proteins localize to a discrete ciliary compartment called the transition zone, and act as structural components of the so-called “ciliary gate” to regulate the ciliary trafficking of cargo proteins or lipids. Cargo proteins include enzymes and transmembrane proteins that mediate intracellular signaling. The disruption of transition zone function may contribute to the ciliopathy phenotype by altering the composition of the ciliary membrane or axoneme, with impacts on essential developmental signaling including the Wnt and Shh pathways as well as the regulation of secondary messengers such as inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).

  • The Role of Primary Cilia in the Pathophysiology of Neural Tube Defects
    Neurosurg Focus 33 (4):E2, 2012 The role of primary cilia in the pathophysiology of neural tube defects TIMOTHY W. VOGEL, M.D.,1 CALVIN S. CARTER, B.S.,2 KINGSLEY ABODE-IYAMAH, M.D.,3 QIHONG ZHANG, PH.D.,2 AND SHENANDOAH ROBINSON, M.D.1 1Department of Neurosurgery, Children’s Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts; and 2Graduate Program in Neuroscience, 3Department of Neurosurgery, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa Neural tube defects (NTDs) are a set of disorders that occur from perturbation of normal neural development. They occur in open or closed forms anywhere along the craniospinal axis and often result from a complex interaction between environmental and genetic factors. One burgeoning area of genetics research is the effect of cilia signaling on the developing neural tube and how the disruption of primary cilia leads to the development of NTDs. Recent progress has implicated the hedgehog (Hh), wingless-type integration site family (Wnt), and planar cell polarity (PCP) pathways in primary cilia as involved in normal neural tube patterning. A set of disorders involving cilia func- tion, known as ciliopathies, offers insight into abnormal neural development. In this article, the authors discuss the common ciliopathies, such as Meckel-Gruber and Joubert syndromes, that are associated with NTDs, and review cil- ia-related signaling cascades responsible for mammalian neural tube development. Understanding the contribution of cilia in the formation of NTDs may provide greater insight into this common set of
