The Impact

The actin cytoskeleton has a crucial role in the maintenance of the immune homeostasis by controlling various cell processes, including cell migration. Mutations in the TTC7A gene have been described as the cause of a primary immunodeficiency associated to different degrees of gut involvement and alterations in the actin cytoskeleton dynamics. Although several cellular functions have been associated with TTC7A, the role of the protein in the maintenance of the immune homeostasis is still poorly understood. Here we leverage microfabricated devices to investigate the impact of TTC7A deficiency in leukocytes migration at the single cell level. We show that TTC7A-deficient leukocytes exhibit an altered cell migration and reduced capacity to deform through narrow gaps. Mechanistically, TTC7A-deficient phenotype resulted from impaired phosphoinositides signaling, leading to the downregulation of the PI3K/AKT/RHOA regulatory axis and imbalanced actin cytoskeleton dynamic. This resulted in impaired cell motility, accumulation of DNA damage and increased cell death during chemotaxis in dense 3D gels. Our results highlight a novel role of TTC7A as a critical regulator of leukocyte migration. Impairment of this cellular function is likely to contribute to pathophysiology underlying progressive immunodeficiency in patients.

Background: Oxidative stress is caused by free radicals or oxidant productions, including lipid peroxidation, protein modification, DNA damage and apoptosis or cell death and results in cellular degeneration and neurodegeneration from damage to macromolecules. Results: Accumulation of the DNA damage (8HOdG) products and the end products of LPO (including aldehyde, diene, triene conjugates and Schiff’s bases) were noted in the research studies. Significantly higher levels of these products in comparison with the controls were observed. Oxidative stress induced changes to ocular cells and tissues. Typical changes include ECM accumulation, cell dysfunction, cell death, advanced senescence, disarrangement or rearrangement of the cytoskeleton and released inflammatory cytokines. It is involved in ocular diseases, including keratoconus, Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, and granular corneal dystrophy type 2, cataract, age-related macular degeneration, primary open-angle glaucoma, retinal light damage, and retinopathy of prematurity. These ocular diseases are the cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Conclusions: Oxidative stress, inflammation and autophagy are implicated in biochemical and morphological changes in these ocular tissues. The development of therapy is a major target for the management care of these ocular diseases.
