Article Abstract
Mucociliary clearance and fluid transport along epithelial surfaces are carried out by multiciliated cells (MCCs). Recently, human mutations in Cyclin O (CCNO) were linked to severe airway disease. Here, we show that Ccno expression is restricted to MCCs and the genetic deletion of Ccno in mouse leads to reduced numbers of multiple motile cilia and characteristic phenotypes of MCC dysfunction including severe hydrocephalus and mucociliary clearance deficits. Reduced cilia numbers are caused by compromised generation of centrioles at deuterosomes, which serve as major amplification platform for centrioles in MCCs. Ccno-deficient MCCs fail to sufficiently generate deuterosomes, and only reduced numbers of fully functional centrioles that undergo maturation to ciliary basal bodies are formed. Collectively, this study implicates CCNO as first known regulator of deuterosome formation and function for the amplification of centrioles in MCCs.

Multiciliated cells (MCCs) ensure fluid circulation in various organs. Their differentiation is marked by the amplification of cilia-nucleating centrioles, driven by a genuine cell-cycle variant, which is characterized by wave-like expression of canonical and non-canonical cyclins such as Cyclin O (CCNO). Patients with CCNO mutations exhibit a subtype of primary ciliary dyskinesia called reduced generation of motile cilia (RGMC).

Reduced generation of multiple motile cilia (RGMC) represents a rare variant of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD), associated with mutations. We report a novel compound mutation in the gene in an adult Chinese Singaporean exhibiting chronic productive cough since childhood and recurrent sino-pulmonary infections. Low nasal nitric oxide and bronchiectasis suggests PCD.

Article Synopsis
- Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a hereditary condition that affects cilia, leading to issues with clearing mucus from the lungs, and this study focuses on PCD linked to mutations in the CCNO gene, involving three Chinese children.
- The cases include an 8-year-old boy diagnosed with respiratory issues akin to diffuse panbronchiolitis, his sister with similar symptoms requiring oxygen, and a 4-year-old girl with a history of pneumonia and recurrent infections, all confirmed to have PCD through genetic testing.
- Key clinical features of CCNO-PCD were identified, such as neonatal respiratory distress, chronic cough, and low nasal nitric oxide levels, indicating that while cilia may appear normal, they

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a group of genetically heterogeneous disorders characterized by clinical manifestations resulting from abnormal ciliary motility. Mutations in critical genes, such as Cyclin O (CCNO), have been associated with severe respiratory disease, though limited data are currently available. Here we show that CCNO deficient ciliated cells can only form a reduced number of fully functional centrioles that can mature into ciliated basal bodies, and their transport and anchoring to the top of the plasma membrane are abnormal.
