Abstract

Aspartate-glutamate carrier isoform 1 (AGC1) is a carrier responsible for the export of mitochondrial aspartate in exchange for cytosolic glutamate and is part of the malate-aspartate shuttle, essential for the balance of reducing equivalents in the cells. In the brain, mutations in SLC25A12 gene, encoding for AGC1, cause an ultra-rare genetic disease, reported as a neurodevelopmental encephalopathy, whose symptoms include global hypomyelination, arrested psychomotor development, hypotonia and seizures. Among the biological components most affected by AGC1 deficiency are oligodendrocytes, glial cells responsible for myelination processes, and their precursors [oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs)]. The AGC1 silencing in an in vitro model of OPCs was documented to cause defects of proliferation and differentiation, mediated by alterations of histone acetylation/deacetylation. Disrupting AGC1 activity could possibly reduce the availability of acetyl groups, leading to perturbation of many biological pathways, such as histone modifications and fatty acids formation for myelin production. Here, we explore the transcriptome of mouse OPCs partially silenced for AGC1, reporting results of canonical analyses (differential expression) and pathway enrichment analyses, which highlight a disruption in fatty acids synthesis from both a regulatory and enzymatic stand. We further investigate the cellular effects of AGC1 deficiency through the identification of most affected transcriptional networks and altered alternative splicing. Transcriptional data were integrated with differential metabolite abundance analysis, showing downregulation of several amino acids, including glutamine and aspartate. Taken together, our results provide a molecular foundation for the effects of AGC1 deficiency in OPCs, highlighting the molecular mechanisms affected and providing a list of actionable targets to mitigate the effects of this pathology.

摘要

天冬氨酸-谷氨酸载体同工型 1(AGC1)是一种负责线粒体天冬氨酸输出的载体,用于交换细胞质中的谷氨酸,是苹果酸-天冬氨酸穿梭系统的一部分,对细胞内还原当量的平衡至关重要。在大脑中,编码 AGC1 的 SLC25A12 基因突变导致一种极罕见的遗传性疾病,称为神经发育性脑病,其症状包括广泛的少突胶质细胞髓鞘形成障碍、运动发育停滞、肌张力低下和癫痫发作。在受 AGC1 缺乏影响最大的生物学成分中,有少突胶质细胞,即负责髓鞘形成过程的神经胶质细胞,以及它们的前体细胞(少突胶质前体细胞(OPC))。在 OPC 体外模型中,AGC1 的沉默被证明会导致增殖和分化缺陷,这是由组蛋白乙酰化/去乙酰化的改变介导的。AGC1 活性的破坏可能会减少乙酰基的可用性,从而扰乱许多生物学途径,如组蛋白修饰和脂肪酸生成以用于髓鞘形成。在这里,我们研究了 AGC1 部分沉默的小鼠 OPCs 的转录组,报告了经典分析(差异表达)和途径富集分析的结果,这些结果突出了脂肪酸合成的调控和酶学方面的破坏。我们通过鉴定受影响最严重的转录网络和改变的选择性剪接,进一步研究了 AGC1 缺乏对细胞的影响。转录数据与差异代谢物丰度分析相结合,显示出包括谷氨酰胺和天冬氨酸在内的几种氨基酸的下调。总之,我们的结果为 AGC1 缺乏对 OPCs 的影响提供了分子基础,突出了受影响的分子机制,并提供了一组可操作的靶标,以减轻这种病理学的影响。
