ADAMTSL2 mutations in geleophysic dysplasia demonstrate a role for ADAMTS-like proteins in TGF-β bioavailability regulation

Abstract: Geleophysic dysplasia is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by short stature, brachydactyly, thick skin and cardiac valvular anomalies often responsible for an early death. Studying six geleophysic dysplasia families, we first mapped the underlying gene to chromosome 9q34.2 and identified five distinct nonsense and missense mutations in ADAMTSL2 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin repeats–like 2), which encodes a secreted glycoprotein of unknown function. Functional studies in H… Show more

“…Because ADAMTSL-6 proteins associate with fibrillin-1 microfibrils and promote microfibril assembly in vitro and in vivo, it is tempting to speculate that mutations in the ADAMTSL-6 gene could lead to aberrant microfibril assembly in elastic and nonelastic tissues and thereby cause conditions similar to fibrillinopathies. Consistent with this possibility, mutations in the ADAMTSL2 gene have been associated with an acromelic dysplasia called geleophysic dysplasia, a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by short stature, brachydactyly, thick skin, and cardiac valvular anomalies (42). These clinical features are similar to those of Weill-Marchesani syndrome, which is also an acromeric dysplasia associated with mutations in fibrillin-1.…”

“…Le Goff et al (42) observed a significant increase in active TGF-␤ in the culture medium of fibroblasts derived from individuals with geleophysic dysplasia, along with an increased phosphorylation of Smad2 and its nuclear localization, indicative of increased TGF-␤ signaling events. They also showed that ADAMTSL-2 associates with LTBP-1, which performs a major role in the storage of latent TGF-␤ in the ECM and is similar to fibrillins in its domain structure (60).…”

“…(11). Multiple lines of in vivo evidence have shown that dysregulated TGF-β expression, secretion, or activation from latency leads to defective bone remodeling (6,7,14). However, to date, to what extent bone homeostasis is modulated at the level of TGF-β maturation in the cell has not been fully defined.…”
