Gene List and Status GENE LIST AND STATUS Our first major project will seek to understand the organization and morphologies of the major intracellular structures and regulatory complexes in undifferentiated stem cells and cardiomyocytes derived from them. To do this, we will use genome-edited cell lines, tagged with fluorescent proteins, and light microscopy to determine the numbers, locations, and dynamic changes of these intracellular structures and regulatory complexes. This year, we hope to generate ~20 different FP-tagged isogenic hiPSC clonal lines representing 15-17 intracellular structures for live cell imaging. We plan to generate at least two clonal lines for each structure when possible. The table below shows the gene editing and cell line generation status to date. When completed, we plan to make these lines available to the research community.

  • Plakoglobin Is Required for Effective Intermediate Filament Anchorage to Desmosomes Devrim Acehan1, Christopher Petzold1, Iwona Gumper2, David D
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Plakoglobin Is Required for Effective Intermediate Filament Anchorage to Desmosomes Devrim Acehan1, Christopher Petzold1, Iwona Gumper2, David D. Sabatini2, Eliane J. Mu¨ller3, Pamela Cowin2,4 and David L. Stokes1,2,5 Desmosomes are adhesive junctions that provide mechanical coupling between cells. Plakoglobin (PG) is a major component of the intracellular plaque that serves to connect transmembrane elements to the cytoskeleton. We have used electron tomography and immunolabeling to investigate the consequences of PG knockout on the molecular architecture of the intracellular plaque in cultured keratinocytes. Although knockout keratinocytes form substantial numbers of desmosome-like junctions and have a relatively normal intercellular distribution of desmosomal cadherins, their cytoplasmic plaques are sparse and anchoring of intermediate filaments is defective. In the knockout, b-catenin appears to substitute for PG in the clustering of cadherins, but is unable to recruit normal levels of plakophilin-1 and desmoplakin to the plaque. By comparing tomograms of wild type and knockout desmosomes, we have assigned particular densities to desmoplakin and described their interaction with intermediate filaments. Desmoplakin molecules are more extended in wild type than knockout desmosomes, as if intermediate filament connections produced tension within the plaque. On the basis of our observations, we propose a particular assembly sequence, beginning with cadherin clustering within the plasma membrane, followed by recruitment of plakophilin and desmoplakin to the plaque, and ending with anchoring of intermediate filaments, which represents the key to adhesive strength.

  • Genetic Cardiomyopathies: the Lesson Learned from Hipscs
    Journal of Clinical Medicine Review Genetic Cardiomyopathies: The Lesson Learned from hiPSCs Ilaria My 1,2 and Elisa Di Pasquale 2,3,* 1 Department of Biomedical Sciences, Humanitas University, Pieve Emanuele, 20090 Milan, Italy; [email protected] 2 Humanitas Clinical and Research Center—IRCCS, Rozzano, 20089 Milan, Italy 3 Institute of Genetic and Biomedical Research (IRGB)—UOS of Milan, National Research Council (CNR), 20138 Milan, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Genetic cardiomyopathies represent a wide spectrum of inherited diseases and constitute an important cause of morbidity and mortality among young people, which can manifest with heart failure, arrhythmias, and/or sudden cardiac death. Multiple underlying genetic variants and molecular pathways have been discovered in recent years; however, assessing the pathogenicity of new variants often needs in-depth characterization in order to ascertain a causal role in the disease. The application of human induced pluripotent stem cells has greatly helped to advance our knowledge in this field and enabled to obtain numerous in vitro patient-specific cellular models useful to study the underlying molecular mechanisms and test new therapeutic strategies. A milestone in the research of genetically determined heart disease was the introduction of genomic technologies that provided unparalleled opportunities to explore the genetic architecture of cardiomyopathies, thanks to the generation of isogenic pairs. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the main research that helped elucidate the pathophysiology of the most common genetic cardiomyopathies: hypertrophic, dilated, arrhythmogenic, and left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathies. A special focus is provided on the application of gene-editing techniques in understanding key disease characteristics and on the therapeutic approaches that have been tested.

Inherited cardiomyopathies account for a relevant part of these conditions. Although progresses have been made over the years, early diagnosis and curative therapies are still challenging. Understanding the events occurring in normal and diseased cardiac cells is crucial, as they are important determinants of overall heart function. Besides chemical and molecular events, there are also structural and mechanical phenomena that require to be investigated. Cell structure and mechanics largely depend from the cytoskeleton, which is composed by filamentous proteins that can be cross-linked via accessory proteins. Alpha-actinin 2 (ACTN2), filamin C (FLNC) and dystrophin are three major actin cross-linkers that extensively contribute to the regulation of cell structure and mechanics. Hereby, we review the current understanding of the roles played by ACTN2, FLNC and dystrophin in the onset and progress of inherited cardiomyopathies. With our work, we aim to set the stage for new approaches to study the cardiomyopathies, which might reveal new therapeutic targets and broaden the panel of genes to be screened.

They resist mechanical stress because they adopt a strongly adhesive state in which they are said to be hyper-adhesive and which distinguishes them from other intercellular junctions; desmosomes are specialised for strong adhesion and their failure can result in diseases of the skin and heart. They are also dynamic structures whose adhesiveness can switch between high and low affinity adhesive states during processes such as embryonic development and wound healing, the switching being signalled by protein kinase C. Desmosomes may also act as signalling centres, regulating the availability of signalling molecules and thereby participating in fundamental processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation and morphogenesis. Here we consider the structure, composition and function of desmosomes, and their role in embryonic development and disease. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Contents 1.

These efforts allow a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying neurological diseases and allow us to see beyond our current knowledge for the development of new treatments. The neuronal cytoskeleton can be described as an organelle formed by the three-dimensional lattice of the three main families of filaments: actin filaments, microtubules, and neurofilaments. This organelle organizes well-defined structures within neurons (cell bodies and axons), which allow their proper development and function through life. Here, we will provide an overview of both the basic and novel concepts related to those cytoskeletal proteins, which are emerging as potential targets in the study of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying neurological disorders.

Whereas AJs function in mechanosensing and in transducing mechanical forces between the plasma membrane and the actomyosin cyto- skeleton, desmosomes and intermediate filaments (IFs) provide mechanical stability required to maintain tissue architecture and integrity when the tissues are exposed to mechanical stress. Desmosomes are essential for stable intercellular cohesion, whereas keratins deter- mine cell mechanics but are not involved in generating tension. Here, we summarize the current knowledge of the role of IFs and desmosomes in tissue mechanics and discuss whether the desmosome–keratin scaffold might be actively involved in mechanosensing and in the conversion of chemical signals into mechanical strength. he majority of tissues are constantly exposed epithelia that line organ and body surfaces to Tto external forces, such as mechanical load, provide structural support and serve as barriers stretch, and shear stress, in addition to intrinsic against diverse external stressors such as me- forces generated by contractile elements inside chanical force, pathogens, toxins, and dehydra- tissues.

ABSTRACT In cancer, loss of intercellular contact contributes to tumour progression and invasion. Desmosomal cadherins are essential constituents of desmosomes – intercellular junctions that confer significant adhesive strength to epithelial tissues and cardiac muscle. Although changes in desmosomal components have been noted in a variety of cancers previously, this investigation has shown for the first time altered desmocollin expression in colorectal cancer. Real-time PCR and western blotting were used to assess desmocollin expression in a series of colorectal cancer and matched normal tissue samples. Loss of desmocollin 2 expression was observed in the cancer samples. In addition, de novo expression of desmocollins 1 and 3, which are not normally expressed in the colon, was observed. Desmoglein gene expression was also altered in the cancer samples. Although classical cadherin switching is a hallmark of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, desmocollin switching has not previously been reported.

Here, we report on a genome scan in one Italian family in which the disease appeared unlinked to any of the six different ARVD loci reported so far; we identify a mutation (S299R) in exon 7 of desmoplakin (DSP), which modifies a putative phosphorylation site in the N-terminal domain binding plakoglobin. It is interesting that a nonsense DSP mutation was reported elsewhere in the literature, inherited as a recessive trait and causing a biventricular dilative cardiomyopathy associated with palmoplantar keratoderma and woolly hairs. Therefore, different DSP mutations might produce different clinical phenotypes, with different modes of inheritance.
