Popis: | Mutations affecting the ribosome lead to several diseases known as ribosomopathies, with phenotypes that include growth defects, cytopenia, and bone marrow failure. Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA), for example, is a pure red cell aplasia linked to the mutation of ribosomal protein (RP) genes. Here we show the knock-down of the DBA-linked RPS19 gene induces the cellular self-digestion process of autophagy, a pathway critical for proper hematopoiesis. We also observe an increase of autophagy in cells derived from DBA patients, in CD34+ erythrocyte progenitor cells with RPS19 knock down, in the red blood cells of zebrafish embryos with RP-deficiency, and in cells from patients with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS). The loss of RPs in all these models results in a marked increase in S6 kinase phosphorylation that we find is triggered by an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS). We show that this increase in S6 kinase phosphorylation inhibits the insulin pathway and AKT phosphorylation activity through a mechanism reminiscent of insulin resistance. While stimulating RP-deficient cells with insulin reduces autophagy, antioxidant treatment reduces S6 kinase phosphorylation, autophagy, and stabilization of the p53 tumor suppressor. Our data suggest that RP loss promotes the aberrant activation of both S6 kinase and p53 by increasing intracellular ROS levels. The deregulation of these signaling pathways is likely playing a major role in the pathophysiology of ribosomopathies. Author Summary Diseases linked to mutations affecting the ribosome, ribosomopathies, have an exceptionally wide range of phenotypes. However, many ribosomopathies have some features in common including cytopenia and growth defects. Our study aims to clarify the mechanisms behind these common phenotypes. We find that mutations in ribosomal protein genes result in a series of aberrant signaling events that cause cells to start recycling and consuming their own intracellular contents. This basic mechanism of catabolism is activated when cells are starving for nutrients, and also during the tightly regulated process of blood cell maturation. The deregulation of this mechanism provides an explanation as to why blood cells are so acutely affected by mutations in genes that impair the ribosome. Moreover, we find that the signals activating this catabolism are coupled to impairment of the highly conserved insulin-signaling pathway that is essential for growth. Taken together, our in-depth description of the pathways involved as the result of mutations affecting the ribosome increases our understanding about the etiology of these diseases and opens up previously unknown avenues of potential treatment. |
