We identified herein additional patients with rod-cone dystrophy (RCD) displaying
mutations in KIZ, encoding the ciliary centrosomal protein kizuna and performed
functional characterization of the respective protein in human fibroblasts and of
its mouse ortholog PLK1S1 in the retina. Mutation screening was done by targeted
next generation sequencing and subsequent Sanger sequencing validation. KIZ mRNA
levels were assessed on blood and serum-deprived human fibroblasts from a control
individual and a patient, compound heterozygous for the c.52G>T (p.Glu18*) and
c.119_122del (p.Lys40Ilefs*14) mutations in KIZ. KIZ localization, documentation
of cilium length and immunoblotting were performed in these two fibroblast cell
lines. In addition, PLK1S1 immunolocalization was conducted in mouse retinal
cryosections and isolated rod photoreceptors. Analyses of additional RCD patients
enabled the identification of two homozygous mutations in KIZ, the known c.226C>T
(p.Arg76*) mutation and a novel variant, the c.3G>A (p.Met1?) mutation. Albeit
the expression levels of KIZ were three-times lower in the patient than controls
in whole blood cells, further analyses in control- and mutant KIZ patient-derived
fibroblasts unexpectedly revealed no significant difference between the two
genotypes. Furthermore, the averaged monocilia length in the two fibroblast cell
lines was similar, consistent with the preserved immunolocalization of KIZ at the
basal body of the primary cilia. Analyses in mouse retina and isolated rod
photoreceptors showed PLK1S1 localization at the base of the photoreceptor
connecting cilium. In conclusion, two additional patients with mutations in KIZ
were identified, further supporting that defects in KIZ/PLK1S1, detected at the
basal body of the primary cilia in fibroblasts, and the photoreceptor connecting
cilium in mouse, respectively, are involved in RCD. However, albeit the mutations
were predicted to lead to nonsense mediated mRNA decay, we could not detect
changes upon expression levels, protein localization or cilia length in
KIZ-mutated fibroblast cells. Together, our findings unveil the limitations of
fibroblasts as a cellular model for RCD and call for other models such as induced
pluripotent stem cells to shed light on retinal pathogenic mechanisms of KIZ
mutations.
