NGLY1 deficiency is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the NGLY1 gene that encodes N-glycanase 1. The disease phenotype in patient cells is unclear. A human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from skin dermal fibroblasts of a patient with NGLY1 deficiency that has compound heterozygous mutations of a p.Q208X variant (c.622C > T) in exon 4 and a p.G310G variant (c.930C > T) in exon 6 of the NGLY1 gene. This iPSC line offers a useful resource to study the disease pathophysiology and a cell-based model for drug development to treat NGLY1 deficiency.

Lactic acid (LA) is an essential glycolytic metabolite and energy source in the body, which is present in high levels in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is a reliable indicator for identifying inflammatory arthritis. LA not only acts as an inflammatory amplifier in RA, recent studies have found that novel posttranslational modification (PTM) lactylation mediated by LA may also play a key role in RA. Single-cell sequencing showed that the RA lactylation score of patients with RA was significantly increased, and core lactylation-promoting genes, including NDUFB3, NGLY1, and other genes, were found to be potential biomarkers of RA.

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by persistent synovitis, systemic inflammation, and autoantibody production. This study aims to explore the role of lactylation in plasma cells and its impact on RA pathogenesis.
Methods: We utilized single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data and applied bioinformatics and machine learning techniques.

The cytoplasmic peptide:N-glycanase (NGLY1) is ubiquitously expressed and functions as a de-N-glycosylating enzyme that degrades misfolded N-glycosylated proteins. NGLY1 deficiency due to biallelic loss-of-function NGLY1 variants is an ultrarare autosomal recessive deglycosylation disorder with multisystemic involvement; the neurological manifestations represent the main disease burden. Currently, there is no treatment for this disease.
