BACKGROUND: X-linked MAGT1 deficiency with increased susceptibility to Epstein-Barr virus infection and N-linked glycosylation defect (XMEN) disease is a rare combined immunodeficiency caused by loss-of-function mutations in the magnesium transporter 1 (MAGT1) gene. MAGT1 deficiency impairs magnesium transport and the N-linked glycosylation of a panel of proteins, which subsequently abolishes the expression of key immune receptors such as natural killer group 2, member D (aka NKG2D). These effects induce immune system abnormalities, chronic Epstein-Barr virus infection, and neoplasia. Recent research shows that MAGT1 and tumor candidate suppressor 3 (TUSC3) share high sequence and functional similarity.
OBJECTIVE: We sought to investigate the feasibility of activating TUSC3 expression to provide a potential therapeutic strategy for XMEN disease.
METHODS: The expression profiles of MAGT1 and TUSC3 were analyzed using multiple databases, real-time quantitative PCR, and Western blot. The effects of decitabine and panobinostat on the regulation of TUSC3 expression were explored in both MAGT1 knockout (KO)/patient-derived lymphocytes and MAGT1 KO hepatocytes.
RESULTS: Although TUSC3 is widely expressed, it is undetectable specifically in the immune system and liver, consistent with the main diseased tissues in patients with XMEN disease. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated KO of MAGT1 in the NKL cell line successfully mimicked the phenotypes of XMEN patient-derived lymphocytes, and exogenous expression of TUSC3 rescued the deficiencies in KO NKL cells. Using this in vitro model, we identified 2 epigenetic drugs, decitabine and panobinostat, by screening. Combination treatment using these 2 drugs significantly upregulated TUSC3 expression and rescued the immune and liver abnormalities.
CONCLUSIONS: Epigenetic activation of TUSC3 expression constitutes an effective therapeutic strategy for XMEN disease.
