- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of neurodevelopmental disorders that include deficits in social communication, maintaining relationships, and repetitive behaviors. In 25-35% of ASD cases, the genetic etiology (high-penetrance variants and copy number variations - CNVs) can be identified through whole-exome sequencing or chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). CMA is a method dedicated to detecting submicroscopic chromosomal imbalances. The study aims to analyze CMA results in children with ASD. - Source: PubMed

Ręka GabrielaWojciechowska KatarzynaStyka BorysJaniszewska MariolaLejman Monika - Actin-related protein T3 (ACTRT3) is localized in the perinuclear theca (PT) of murine spermatids. We generated Actrt3-/- male mice and showed that they are subfertile, with defects of the acrosome first observed during cap phase. Actrt3 deficiency causes reduced protein levels of the trans-Golgi network markers TGN46 and GOPC and mislocalization of the cis-Golgi protein GM130. Reduction of the autophagy markers LC3B, CTSB and mTOR indicates that loss of ACTRT3 leads to impaired Golgi trafficking and autophagic flux, which are required for acrosome biogenesis. In addition, levels of PFN3, a protein involved in acrosome biogenesis, were significantly reduced. Further, co-immunoprecipitation revealed interaction of ACTRT3 with the PT proteins ACTRT1, ACTRT2, ACTL7A, SPEM2 and the sperm surface protein ZPBP. This suggested that ACTRT3 is a part of the complex 3D scaffold of the PT and contributes to ZPBP localization. Mass spectrometry revealed enrichment of cytoskeletal regulators such as CFL1 and CNN1. Expression of Actrt3 caused changes in HEK239T cell shape and F-actin filament distribution, suggesting a role in cytoskeletal shaping. We conclude that lack of ACTRT3 affects acrosome biogenesis, PT structure and actin remodeling. - Source: PubMed

Spermatogonia are vulnerable to various external damaging factors, which can cause cell death. However, the mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we found that the actin-related protein T2 (ACTRT2) is specifically expressed in testicular tissue and is associated with spermatogenesis. In vitro, when GC-1 cells (spermatogonial cell line) were treated with busulfan, the proportion of cell death in the low-ACTRT2 group increased significantly. Reactive oxygen species accumulation and typical mitochondrial changes associated with ferroptosis occurred. In vivo, the seminiferous tubules in ACTRT2-/- mice were significantly shrunken. In addition, after being treated with busulfan, spermatogenesis in ACTRT2+/- mice decreased significantly compared to that in wild-type mice. In ACTRT2+/- testes, the expression levels of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 and arachidonic acid 15-lipoxygenase-1 (ALOX15) were upregulated, while the expression levels of solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) were downregulated. Finally, we found that the expression of solute carrier family 11 member 2 (SLC11A2), iron responsive element binding protein 2 (IREB2), and transferrin receptor protein 1 (TFRC) increased significantly in the low-ACTRT2 group, which transports iron into the cell to increase the intracellular unstable iron pool. In conclusion, ACTRT2 deficiency leads to intracellular iron overload and damage to mitochondria, ultimately increasing spermatogonia vulnerability to ferroptosis. - Source: PubMed
