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).

  • Intraflagellar Transport Proteins Are Essential for Cilia Formation and for Planar Cell Polarity
    BASIC RESEARCH www.jasn.org Intraflagellar Transport Proteins Are Essential for Cilia Formation and for Planar Cell Polarity Ying Cao, Alice Park, and Zhaoxia Sun Department of Genetics, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut ABSTRACT The highly conserved intraflagellar transport (IFT) proteins are essential for cilia formation in multiple organisms, but surprisingly, cilia form in multiple zebrafish ift mutants. Here, we detected maternal deposition of ift gene products in zebrafish and found that ciliary assembly occurs only during early developmental stages, supporting the idea that maternal contribution of ift gene products masks the function of IFT proteins during initial development. In addition, the basal bodies in multiciliated cells of the pronephric duct in ift mutants were disorganized, with a pattern suggestive of defective planar cell polarity (PCP). Depletion of pk1, a core PCP component, similarly led to kidney cyst formation and basal body disorganization. Furthermore, we found that multiple ift genes genetically interact with pk1. Taken together, these data suggest that IFT proteins play a conserved role in cilia formation and planar cell polarity in zebrafish.

  • A Ciliopathy-Associated COPD Endotype
    Perotin et al. Respir Res (2021) 22:74 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12931-021-01665-4 LETTER TO THE EDITOR Open Access CiliOPD: a ciliopathy-associated COPD endotype Jeanne‑Marie Perotin1,2, Myriam Polette1,3, Gaëtan Deslée1,2 and Valérian Dormoy1* Abstract The pathophysiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) relies on airway remodelling and infam‑ mation. Alterations of mucociliary clearance are a major hallmark of COPD caused by structural and functional cilia abnormalities. Using transcriptomic databases of whole lung tissues and isolated small airway epithelial cells (SAEC), we comparatively analysed cilia‑associated and ciliopathy‑associated gene signatures from a set of 495 genes in 7 datasets including 538 non‑COPD and 508 COPD patients. This bio‑informatics approach unveils yet undescribed cilia and ciliopathy genes associated with COPD including NEK6 and PROM2 that may contribute to the pathology, and suggests a COPD endotype exhibiting ciliopathy features (CiliOPD).

There is sufficient experimental evidence to confirm that SARS-CoV-2 infection produces states of ciliary and flagellar dysfunction. However, these studies are unable to explain the observed effects molecularly, because they lack a sufficient understanding of the interaction between human proteins and virus proteins. Using the physical-chemical study of the human interactome in interaction with the SARS-CoV-2 proteome, we found evidence of interactions to explain the experimental effects from a molecular perspective. We found that ten viral proteins interact with key components in the maintenance of the molecular structure of axoneme. Additionally, we evaluated the pulmonary and extrapulmonary pathogenesis of COVID-19 from the point of view of ciliary dysfunction, and warned about other possible complications such as episodes of transient infertility that, due to the limitations of our work, would need verification.
