At the Laboratory for Molecular Diagnosis at the Center for Human Genetics, KU Leuven, Belgium, we focus on the systematic search for novel types of Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) and their subsequent characterisation. CDG are a group of rare inborn errors of metabolism that lead to a broad range of clinical presentations such as intellectual disability, skeletal abnormalities and epilepsy. Our work covers both the fundamental and translational realms of science by helping us to understand the function of poorly understood genes and proteins and simultaneously providing a diagnosis to affected patients using state-of-the-art technology such as whole genome sequencing (WGS). At the Structural and Functional Glycobiology Unit (UGSF, UMR 8576) at the University of Lille, France, the focus is on understanding the impact of vesicular trafficking, and of manganese and calcium ER/Golgi homeostasis, on the regulation of the glycosylation process.

The position is opened in the context of a joint project co-hosted by KU Leuven and the University of Lille. It is expected that the successful candidate will spend approximately 24 months in each centre during the course of their 4-year PhD programme.

The identification and diagnosis of patients with Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) is hampered by an extremely variable presentation ranging from single organ failure to complex disease with neurodevelopmental anddysmorphic features. Compounding this, there are also a huge number of genetically distinct CDG (>150 in total), many with only a few known cases. CDG are caused by mutations that affect the formation, trafficking or processing of glycans, leading to the aberrant glycosylation of proteins, this also makes the biochemical mechanisms leading to disease difficult to understand. Our laboratory has, for more than 20 years, been at the forefront of the identification of novel CDG. This includes the most common CDG subtype caused by mutations in PMM2 (Matthijs et al. 1997), and subsequently others such as COG1-CDG (Foulquier et al. 2007), COG4-CDG (Reynders etal. 2009), COG8-CDG (Foulquier et al. 2007) and MAN1B1-CDG (Rymen etal. 2013). Most recently, our focus has been upon CDG affecting the function of the oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) complex (Blommaert et al.2019).

The aim of this project will be to characterise novel CDG that have recently been identified in our lab through the screening of undiagnosed CDG patients using whole genome sequencing (WGS). This will be carried out using a variety of molecular biology techniques for the investigation of these defects in primary dermal fibroblasts derived from affected patients, as well as mammalian and fungal cell models. A successful candidate will also be trained in the analysis of WGS data from‘unsolved’ patients, in the hope of achieving diagnoses. This will include the application of state-of-the-art bioinformatics tools. The functional studies, including cell-biological, glycobiological and enzymatic experiments will be carried out under the supervision of Dr. François Foulquier, at the University of Lille.

The laboratory for Disease Mechanisms in Cancer (KU Leuven, Belgium, www.LDMC.be) is looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher. Our team played a pioneer role in the identification of acquired mutations in ribosomal proteins in cancer. To understand how mutations in this essential cellular machinery promote tumorigenesis, we characterize the impact of ribosomal protein mutations on the spectrum of expressed proteins in cancer cells (cellular translatome). In the past, our work mainly focused on the role for the ribosomal RPL10 R98S point mutation that is implicated in leukemia. Ribosomal proteins RPL5 and RPL11 are heterozygously lost in 10-35% of various cancer types. In this project, the downstream consequences of such a heterozygous loss of RPL5 and RPL11 in cancer cells will be studied in breast cancer and glioblastoma cell culture and mouse models using proteome and phospho-proteome based methodologies.

The laboratory for Disease Mechanisms in Cancer (KU Leuven, Belgium, www.LDMC.be) is looking for a motivated PhD researcher. Many labs, including ours, have performed exome and transcriptome sequencing on large series of tumor samples with the aim to discover cancer driver mutations. In most studies, only mutations that cause amino acid changes are considered, assuming that synonymous mutations in protein coding regions are meaningless. Nevertheless, several experimentally tested synonymous mutations have been ascribed a causative role in disease. Our data support that synonymous nucleotide changes can enhance gene expression and cell transformation via novel mechanisms, independent of splicing, and hence we hypothesize that the role of synonymous mutations in cancer is underestimated.

Project

Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) is the second leading cause of death after all cancers combined in Western society. The incidence of SCD is estimated to be as high as 400 000 deaths/year in Europe. Lethal ventricular arrhythmia such as ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) underlie the vast majority of unexpected sudden cardiac deaths (SCD).

Up to 70% of these SCDs are related to myocardial ischemia, infarction and subsequent heart failure as an underlying structural cardiac abnormality (ischemic cardiomyopathy, ICMP).

Moreover, theoccurrence of SCD varies in time similar to variations of blood pressure suggesting a pro-arrhythmic effect of fluctuations in afterload. We demonstrated previously in experimental models that an acute blood pressure increase resulted in an abrupt left ventricular pressure decline, which had a profound effect on myocardial mechanics with enhanced post-systolic shortening and coincided with induced transient depolarizations and pressure-induced premature beats (PIPB).

In this project we want to elucidate the mechanisms of the origin of PIPBs and toprovide evidence that these PIPBs arising from the myocardial infarct borderzone can trigger VA in ICMP. We hypothesize that the activation of stretchactivated non-selective cation channels and the mechano-sensitivity of Ca2+signaling are responsible for this mechano-electrical coupling and that the border zone of an infarct is a specific “area at risk” for the genesis of these PIPBs because of the increased strain on this region, increased oxidative stress and regional changes in cardiac innervation. With specific pharmacological tools, merging of cardiac activation maps with information derived from simultaneous MRI and PET imaging using specific tracers we will investigate the pathophysiologic and regional origin of these PIPBs as triggers for VA in ICMP.

The specific PhD project

The specific aim of this PhD project is to develop processing pipelines to combine extensive imaging and electrophysiology data into anatomically accurate models of the ischemic heart, suited for further use in computational analyses. Challenges are the multiple resolutions of the different imaging and electrophysiological data. The further development of a multiscale bi-ventricular model, with details of fibrotic tissue (from ex-vivo scans), innervation of the infarct border zone (from PET imaging), tissue deformation (from MRI or ultrasound), electrical activation from single beat non-contact as well as contact mapping, should allow for a comprehensive evaluation and provide insight into infarct border zone remodelling. Depending on progress further analyses will consist of simulating mechano-electrical feedback. Hereto, we will implement these models in existing dedicated cardiovascular modelling software. There will be a close collaboration with the basic and clinical PhD students for data gathering in an animal model of ICMP.

Project

Our research group focuses on the neuro-immune interaction between the enteric nervous system and resident macrophages in the context of neurodegeneration in the intestine. We recently discovered a unique resident macrophage population residing in close proximity to enteric neurons with properties of microglia, i.e. they are long-lived, are of embryonic origin and have neuro-protective properties (De Schepper et al., Cell 2018). Depletion of these macrophages leads to loss of enteric neurons in the myenteric and submucous plexus with impaired secretion, dysmorphic submucosal vasculature and impaired intestinal motility. In the present project, supported by an ERC Advanced grant (starting in September or October 2019), these macrophages will be further characterised and their role will be studied in several disease models of enteric neuro-degeneration and tissue collected from patients, with the ultimate goal to identify novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers.
