Brief Summary: Mutations in the genes encoding cytosolic aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are responsible for early-onset multisystemic diseases including to varying degrees interstitial lung disease liver damage neurological and digestive disorders and systemic inflammation These are rare and severe diseases whose pathophysiology is poorly understood

The investigative team hypothesizes that mutations within these genes are responsible for a decrease in protein translation and lead to a cellular stress response similar to that induced by amino acid deprivation The investigative team also hypothesizes that these alterations could be corrected by high-dose supplementation in the culture medium of the corresponding amino acid

The main objective of the study is to precisely determine the consequences of cytosolic aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase mutations at the cell level on protein translation

The parameters below will be studied in vitro in cell culture from skin biopsies of patients and control cells

Determination of total protein content
The incorporation of d-methionine leucine tyrosine or phenylalanine into proteins
The study of polysomes profiling
The study of the assembly of the ribosomal 43S pre-initiation complex
The phosphorylation of eIF2α and 4EBP and the expression of ATF4
Ribosome profiling
Transfer RNA tRNA sequencing
The production of reactive oxygen species ROS

The results of these studies will be compared

Between patient cells and control cells
Between genetically corrected patient cells by stable transfection of the wild-type cDNA of the concerned genes and uncorrected cells
Between patient cells cultured in medium enriched with the corresponding amino acid
