The study demonstrated that the AIMP2 mutant proteins associated with HLD17 localize in the Golgi bodies, stimulating Golgi stress signaling and inhibiting differentiation. Knockdown of CASP2 reversed the inhibitory effect, suggesting a potential approach to ameliorating the disease's effects.
Hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 17 is an autosomal recessive disease affecting myelin-forming oligodendroglial cells in the central nervous system. The gene responsible for HLD17 encodes aminoacyl-tRNA synthase complex-interacting multifunctional protein 2, whose product proteins form a scaffold that supports aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases throughout the cell body. Here we show that the HLD17-associated nonsense mutation (Tyr35-to-Ter [Y35X]) of AIMP2 localizes AIMP2 proteins as aggregates into the Golgi bodies in mouse oligodendroglial FBD-102b cells. Wild type AIMP2 proteins, in contrast, are distributed throughout the cell body. Expression of the Y35X mutant proteins, but not the wild type proteins, in cells upregulates Golgi stress signaling involving caspase-2 activation. Cells expressing the wild type proteins exhibit differentiated phenotypes with web-like structures bearing many processes following the induction of differentiation, whereas cells expressing the Y35X mutant proteins fail to differentiate. Furthermore, CASP2 knockdown but not control knockdown reverses the phenotypes of cells expressing the mutant proteins. These results suggest that HLD17-associated AIMP2 mutant proteins are localized in the Golgi bodies where their proteins stimulate Golgi stress-responsive CASP2 to inhibit differentiation; this effect is ameliorated by knockdown of CASP2. These findings may reveal some of the molecular and cellular pathological mechanisms underlying HLD17 and possible approaches to ameliorating the disease's effects.
