    Abstract Background: Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity type 3 (SEMDJL3) is a rare skeletal dysplasia associated with EXOC6B, a component of the exocyst complex, involved in vesicle tethering and exocytosis at the plasma membrane. So far, EXOC6B and the pathomechanisms underlying SEMDJL3 remain obscure.
    Methods and results: Exoc6b was detected largely at the perinuclear regions and the primary cilia base in ATDC5 prechondrocytes. Its shRNA lentiviral knockdown impeded primary ciliogenesis. In Exoc6b silenced prechondrocytes, Hedgehog signaling was attenuated, including when stimulated with Smoothened agonist. Exoc6b knockdown deregulated the mRNA and protein levels of Col2a1, a marker of chondrocyte proliferation at 7- and 14-days following differentiation. It led to the upregulation of Ihh another marker of proliferative chondrocytes. The levels of Col10a1, a marker of chondrocyte hypertrophy was enhanced at 14 days of differentiation. Congruently, Axin2, a canonical Wnt pathway modulator that inhibits chondrocyte hypertrophy was repressed. The expression of Mmp13 and Adamts4 that are terminal chondrocyte hypertrophy markers involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling were downregulated at 7 and 14 days of chondrogenesis. Bglap that encodes for the most abundant non-collagenous bone matrix constituent and promotes ECM calcification was suppressed at 14 days of chondrocyte differentiation. ECM mineralization was assessed by Alizarin Red staining. Gene expression and ciliogenesis were investigated by reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR, immunoblotting, and immunocytochemistry.
    Conclusions: These findings provide initial insights into the potential role of Exoc6b in primary ciliogenesis and chondrogenic differentiation, contributing towards a preliminary understanding of the molecular pathomechanisms underlying SEMDJL3.

    Abstract Primary cilia are non-motile sensory antennae present on most vertebrate cell surfaces. They serve to transduce and integrate diverse external stimuli into functional cellular responses vital for development, differentiation and homeostasis. Ciliary characteristics, such as length, structure and frequency are often tailored to distinct differentiated cell states. Primary cilia are present on a variety of skeletal cell-types and facilitate the assimilation of sensory cues to direct skeletal development and repair. However, there is limited knowledge of ciliary variation in response to the activation of distinct differentiation cascades in different skeletal cell-types. C3H10T1/2, MC3T3-E1 and ATDC5 cells are mesenchymal stem cells, preosteoblast and prechondrocyte cell-lines, respectively. They are commonly employed in numerous in vitro studies, investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying osteoblast and chondrocyte differentiation, skeletal disease and repair. Here we sought to evaluate the primary cilia length and frequencies during osteogenic differentiation in C3H10T1/2 and MC3T3-E1 and chondrogenic differentiation in ATDC5 cells, over a period of 21 days. Our data inform on the presence of stable cilia to orchestrate signaling and dynamic alterations in their features during extended periods of differentiation. Taken together with existing literature these findings reflect the occurrence of not only lineage but cell-type specific variation in ciliary attributes during differentiation. These results extend our current knowledge, shining light on the variabilities in primary cilia features correlated with distinct differentiated cell phenotypes. It may have broader implications in studies using these cell-lines to explore cilia dependent cellular processes and treatment modalities for skeletal disorders centered on cilia modulation.

    Abstract Primary cilia are non-motile sensory cell-organelle that are essential for organismal development, differentiation, and postnatal homeostasis. Their biogenesis and function are mediated by the intraflagellar transport (IFT) system. Pathogenic variants in IFT52, a central component of the IFT-B complex is associated with short-rib thoracic dysplasia with or without polydactyly 16 (SRTD16), with major skeletal manifestations, in addition to other features. Here we sought to examine the role of IFT52 in osteoblast differentiation. Using lentiviral shRNA interference Ift52 was depleted in C3H10T1/2 mouse mesenchymal stem cells. This led to the disruption of the IFT-B anterograde trafficking machinery that impaired primary ciliogenesis and blocked osteogenic differentiation. In Ift52 silenced cells, Hedgehog (Hh) pathway upregulation during osteogenesis was attenuated and despite Smoothened Agonist (SAG) based Hh activation, osteogenic differentiation was incompletely restored. Further we investigated IFT52 activity in Drosophila, wherein the only ciliated somatic cells are the bipolar sensory neurons of the peripheral nervous system. Knockdown of IFT52 in Drosophila neuronal tissues reduced lifespan with the loss of embryonic chordotonal cilia, and produced severe locomotion, auditory and proprioceptive defects in larva and adults. Together these findings improve our knowledge of the role of IFT52 in various physiological contexts and its associated human disorder.

    Abstract The clinical phenotype of 1q21.1 microdeletion syndrome is highly heterogeneous. It is characterized by dysmorphic facial features, microcephaly, and developmental delay. Several congenital defects, including cardiac, ocular, skeletal anomalies, and psychiatric or behavioural abnormalities, have also been described. Here, we report on two siblings with substantial intrafamilial phenotypic variability carrying a heterozygous deletion of the 1q21.1 region spanning a known critical genomic area (~1.35 Mb). The microdeletion was inherited from the unaffected father. Patients described here show a spectrum of clinical features, a portion of which overlap with those previously reported in patients with 1q21.1 microdeletions. In addition, we review the clinical reports of 66 individuals with this condition. These findings extend and substantiate the current clinical understanding of recurrent copy number variations in the 1q21.1 region.

    Abstract RNA exosome is a highly conserved ribonuclease complex essential for RNA processing and degradation. Bi-allelic variants in exosome subunits EXOSC3, EXOSC8 and EXOSC9 have been reported to cause pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1B, type 1C and type 1D, respectively, while those in EXOSC2 cause short stature, hearing loss, retinitis pigmentosa and distinctive facies. We ascertained an 8-months-old male with developmental delay, microcephaly, subtle dysmorphism and hypotonia. Pontocerebellar hypoplasia and delayed myelination were noted on neuroimaging. A similarly affected elder sibling succumbed at the age of 4-years 6-months. Chromosomal microarray returned normal results. Exome sequencing revealed a homozygous missense variant, c.104C > T p.(Ser35Leu) in EXOSC1 (NM_016046.5) as the possible candidate. In silico mutagenesis revealed loss of a polar contact with neighboring Leu37 residue. Quantitative real-time PCR indicated no appreciable differences in EXOSC1 transcript levels. Immunoblotting and blue native PAGE revealed reduction in the EXOSC1 protein levels and EXO9 complex in the proband, respectively. We herein report an individual with the bi-allelic variant c.104C>T p.(Ser35Leu) in EXOSC1 and clinical features of pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1. Immunoblotting and blue native PAGE provide evidence for the pathogenicity of the variant. Thus, we propose EXOSC1 as a novel candidate gene for pontocerebellar hypoplasia.
