Integrated Genomics of Crohn’s Disease Risk Variant Identifies a Role for CLEC12A in Antibacterial Autophagy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The polymorphism ATG16L1 T300A, associated with increased risk of Crohn's disease, impairs pathogen defense mechanisms including selective autophagy, but specific pathway interactions altered by the risk allele remain unknown. Here, we use perturbational profiling of human peripheral blood cells to reveal that CLEC12A is regulated in an ATG16L1-T300A-dependent manner. Antibacterial autophagy is impaired in CLEC12A-deficient cells, and this effect is exacerbated in the presence of the ATG16L1(∗)300A risk allele. Clec12a(-/-) mice are more susceptible to Salmonella infection, supporting a role for CLEC12A in antibacterial defense pathways in vivo. CLEC12A is recruited to sites of bacterial entry, bacteria-autophagosome complexes, and sites of sterile membrane damage. Integrated genomics identified a functional interaction between CLEC12A and an E3-ubiquitin ligase complex that functions in antibacterial autophagy. These data identify CLEC12A as early adaptor molecule for antibacterial autophagy and highlight perturbational profiling as a method to elucidate defense pathways in complex genetic disease.

INVESTIGATING THE ROLE OF MTNR1B RS4753426 GENETIC VARIANT IN THE TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS RISK
Background: Type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial, polygenic disease caused by impaired insulin secretion, insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction. Melatonin is a circadian rhythm regulator and any imbalance in its levels can be related to various metabolic disorders. Melatonin and the genetic variants of MTNR1B gene are reported to be associated with T2DM susceptibility. We ...
متن کاملUnderstanding Crohn's disease through genetics
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with an eitologically complex pathology. Current evidence implicates dysregulation of the immune response to intestinal microflora and a parallel defect in maintenance of the epithelial barrier. The host genetic makeup is a key variable that underlies risk of disease, as highlighted by genomewide association studies (GWAS). This...
متن کاملPathoph ysiology
Genetics In 2001 the first susceptibility gene for Crohn’s disease (CD) (IBD1) was identified. This encodes for a product (NOD2 or CARD15), the CD variant of which is associated with increased intestinal permeability in both CD patients and their unaffected relatives. It is also associated with ileal and fibro-stenosing diseases in Western populations. The mechanism of the permeability changes ...
متن کاملUnravelling the relevance of CLEC12A as a cancer stem cell marker in myelodysplastic syndrome
Evidence of distinct disease propagating stem cells in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) has emerged in recent years. However, immunophenotypic characterization of these cancer stem cells remains sparse. In acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), we have previously described aberrant expression of the C-type lectin domain family 12, member A (CLEC12A) as a stable and reliable marker of leukaemia blasts and...

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common type of diabetes that was classically characterized by pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. Changes in circadian patterns is one of the reasons which can increase the occurrence of diabetes. Melatonin is one of the biological molecules which plays an important role in regulating the circadian clock and also an inhibitory effect on insulin...
