Abstract
TMEM230 promotes antigen processing, trafficking, and presentation by regulating the endomembrane system of membrane bound organelles (lysosomes, proteosomes and mitochondria) and phagosomes. Activation of the immune system requires trafficking of various cargos between the endomembrane system and cell plasma membrane. The Golgi apparatus is the hub of the endomembrane system and essential for the generation, maintenance, recycling, and trafficking of the components of the endomembrane system itself and immune system. Intracellular trafficking and secretion of immune system components depend on mitochondrial metalloproteins for ATP synthesis that powers motor protein transport of endomembrane cargo. Glycan modifying enzyme genes and motor proteins are essential for the activation of the immune system and trafficking of antigens between the endomembrane system and the plasma membrane. Recently, TMEM230 was identified as co-regulated with RNASET2 in lysosomes and with metalloproteins in various cell types and organelles, including mitochondria in autoimmune diseases. Aberrant metalloproteinase secretion by motor proteins is a major contributor to tissue remodeling of synovial membrane and joint tissue destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by promoting infiltration of blood vessels, bone erosion, and loss of cartilage by phagocytes. In this study, we identified that specific glycan processing enzymes are upregulated in certain cell types (fibroblast or endothelial cells) that function in destructive tissue remodeling in rheumatoid arthritis compared to osteoarthritis (OA). TMEM230 was identified as a regulator in the secretion of metaloproteinases and heparanase necessary tissue remodeling in OA and RA. In dendritic (DC), natural killer and T cells, TMEM230 was expressed at low or no levels in RA compared to OA. TMEM230 expression in DC likely is necessary for regulatory or helper T cells to maintain tolerance to self-antigens and prevent susceptibility to autoimmune disease. To identify how TMEM230 and the endomembrane system contribute to autoimmunity we investigated, glycan modifying enzymes, metalloproteinases and motor protein genes co-regulated with or regulated by TMEM230 in synovial tissue by analyzing published single cell transcriptomic datasets from RA patient derived synovial tissue.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
