Defective sumoylation pathway directs congenital heart disease

Abstract: Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common of all birth defects, yet molecular mechanism(s) underlying highly prevalent atrial septal defects (ASDs) and ventricular septal defects (VSDs) have remained elusive. We demonstrate the indispensability of “balanced” post-translational SUMO conjugation-deconjugation pathway for normal cardiac development. Both hetero- and homo-zygous SUMO-1 knockout mice exhibited ASDs and VSDs with high mortality rates, which were rescued by cardiac re-expression of the SUMO… Show more

“…38 The SUMO-dependent regulation of these specific factors has been described in detail [39][40][41] but new findings in mouse models with alterations in the SUMO pathway provide a novel integrated view on SUMO function during embryonic development (Table). Interestingly, both hypo-or hyperSUMOylation because of dysfunction of either the conjugation or deconjugation system result in embryonic or cardiac defects, indicating that a tight control of the degree of SUMOylation is essential for normal cardiac development 44,54 (Table). Inhibition of SUMO conjugation by genetic inactivation of the SUMO-conjugating E2 enzyme Ubc9 causes early embryonic lethality in mice between embryonic stage 3.5 and embryonic stage 7.5, 42 demonstrating that attachment of SUMO is essential for embryonic viability (Table).…”

“…Despite its critical role in embryonic development, the SUMO2 KO mouse line does not show a specific cardiac phenotype, whereas the constitutive KO of SUMO1 led to specific cardiac septal defects (atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect) with high penetrance. 44 The defects in SUMO1-mutant mice were rescued by transgenic cardiac-specific expression of SUMO1 arguing for an important and specific function of SUMO1 conjugation during normal cardiac development. 44 However, it is noteworthy that other groups failed to detect a phenotype in SUMO1 KO mice possibly because of differences in the genetic background and gene-targeting strategies.…”
