Choline kinase beta is required for normal endochondral bone formation

Abstract: Background Choline kinase has three isoforms encoded by the genes Chka and Chkb. Inactivation of Chka in mice results in embryonic lethality, whereas Chkb−/− mice display neonatal forelimb bone deformations. Methods To understand the mechanisms underlying the bone deformations, we compared the biology and biochemistry of bone formation from embryonic to young adult wild-type (WT) and Chkb−/− mice. Results The deformations are specific to the radius and ulna during the late embryonic stage. The radius and u… Show more

“…Loss of CHKB corresponds to a hind limb muscular dystrophy and forelimb deformity due to decreased levels of phosphatidylcholine (16,41). A recent study has established that the forelimb deformity in CHKB-deficient mice is due to altered growth plate physiology in the embryo, implicating a role for CHKB in endochondral bone formation (42). Homozygous and compound heterozygous mutations in CHKB have been identified in patients with congenital muscular dystrophy (17)(18)(19)43).…”

“…The reason for perosis caused by choline deficiency may be that the content of phosphatidylcholine in the bone cell was decreased, because choline is a component of the membrane phospholipids (Hollenbeck, 2010). Additionally, choline deficiency could cause a decrease in choline kinase activity (Li et al, 2005); previous study has shown that choline kinase was required for normal endochondral bone formation (Li et al, 2014). …”

“…Several evidence underlines the importance of phosphocholine in bone mineralization [126]; however, at present no experimental data directly links Cer or choline to Extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization. Studies in animal models are in some way in conflict with studies performed in cell culture: the inhibition of nSMase2/SMPD3 by GW4869 accelerates the mineralization of chondrogenic ATDC5 cultures [127], whereas either the fro/fro mice or mice lacking choline kinase presents an expansion of hypertrophic zone likely due to a delay in apoptosis of hypertrophic chondrocytes [128]. The role of Cer in bone tissue has been examined by other approaches leading also to conflicting results, such as short-chain synthetic cell-permeable forms of Cer, preferentially C-2 Cer [129].…”
