CRISPR-gene-engineeredCYBBknock-out PLB-985 cells, a useful model to study functional impact of X-linked chronic granulomatous disease mutations: application to the G412E X91+-CGD mutation
Clinical and Experimental Immunology(2023)
Abstract
AbstractChronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare primary immune disorder caused by mutations in one of the five subunits of the NADPH oxidase complex expressed in phagocytes. Two-thirds of CGD cases are caused by mutations in CYBB that encodes NOX2 or gp91phox. Some rare X91+-CGD point mutations lead to a loss of function but with a normal expression of the mutated NOX2 protein. It is therefore necessary to ensure that this mutation is indeed responsible for the loss of activity in order to make a safe diagnosis for genetic counselling. We previously used the X-CGD PLB-985 cell model of M.C. Dinauer obtained by homologous recombination in the original PLB-985 human myeloid cell line, in order to study the functional impact of such mutations. Although the PLB-985 cell line was originally described by K.A. Tucker et al. in1987 as a distinct cell line isolated from a patient with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia, it is actually identified as a subclone of the HL-60 cells. In order to use a cellular model that meets the quality standard for the functional study of X91+-CGD mutations in CGD diagnosis, we developed our own model using the CRISPR-Cas9 technology in a certified PLB-985 cell line from DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures. Thanks to this new X-CGD model, we demonstrated that the G412E mutation in NOX2 found in a X91+-CGD patient prohibits access of the electron donor NADPH to its binding site explaining the absence of superoxide production in his neutrophils.
