Article Title: A novel ICK mutation causes ciliary disruption and lethal endocrine-cerebro-osteodysplasia syndrome

doi: 10.1186/s13630-016-0029-1

Figure Lengend Snippet: Mutations found in ICK affect ciliogenesis and ciliary localization. a , b The cellular localization of ICK was analyzed in HEK293T cells overexpressing wild-type or two mutated forms of mRFP-ICK: p.R272Q (positive control, mutation previously studied in ECO infants) and p.G120C (new mutation detected in the current study). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue) and mRFP-ICK proteins are shown in red. mRFP-ICK with the p.G120C mutation showed the same nuclear localization as wild-type mRFP-ICK transfected cells, while nuclear import was completely lost when mRFP-ICK with the p.R272Q mutation was expressed (Fisher’s exact test two-tailed p < 0.0001, >35 cells counted per condition). c , d The ciliary localization of ICK was studied in mIMCD3 cells transiently transfected with wild-type or two mutant forms of mRFP-ICK: p.R272Q or p.G120C. Wild-type mRFP-ICK mostly localized to the ciliary axoneme and was often enriched at the ciliary base, while both mRFP-ICK mutants enriched at ciliary tips. Ciliary axonemes were visualized with anti-ARL13B ( green ), ciliary transition zones that are present at the ciliary base were marked with anti-RPGRIP1L ( pink ), mRFP-ICK constructs were shown in red , and nuclei were stained with DAPI ( blue ). Per construct >50 transfected, ciliated cells were counted. e , f Cilium presence was studied in serum-starved fibroblasts derived from an ECO patient with a homozygous missense mutation in ICK (c.815G > A; p.R272Q) and compared to fibroblasts derived from two healthy unrelated controls. Control I represents a non-Amish individual, while control II is from the Amish community. Ciliogenesis was significantly reduced in fibroblasts from the ECO patient compared to the controls (Fisher’s exact test two-tailed p < 0.0001 for both). At least 80 cells were counted per condition. Ciliary axonemes were visualized with anti-ARL13B ( green ), ciliary transition zones were marked with anti-RPGRIP1L ( red ), and nuclei were stained with DAPI ( blue )

Figure Lengend Snippet: A, ICC staining of Ift88fl/fl/PyMT+ mammary tissues sections for ARL13b (cilia marker; red), γ-tubulin (centrosome marker; green), CK5 (myoepithelial cell marker; white) and Hoechst (nuclei). The lumen (lum) and stromal (str) regions of the mammary gland are separated by a dashed line. Arrowheads point to primary cilia in Ad-GFP-treated glands, and to centrosomes without cilia in Ad-Cre-GFP-treated glands. B, The bar graph represents quantification of the percent ciliated epithelial cells (basal (bas), luminal (lum), total epithelial cells (all)) from Ift88fl/fl/PyMT+ (Ad-GFP (blue), n=3; Ad-Cre-GFP (red), n=3) and Ift20fl/fl/PyMT+ (Ad-GFP, n=4; Ad-Cre-GFP, n=4) mammary glands. Error bars indicate SE; P values were determined by the Student t-test (paired, two-tailed); *P<0.05.
