A clear cut genotype–phenotype correlation for Krabbe disease is not available. Therefore, it is important to identify new mutations and their associated phenotypes to predict the prognosis of the disease. The aim of this study is to identify the causative mutation(s) in a family with Krabbe disease. After a clinical evaluation and suspicion of Krabbe disease galactocerebrosidase activity was analyzed and GALC gene mutation analysis was performed. The galactocerebrosidase enzyme activity was 0.01 nmol/mg/h protein (normal range 0.8–4). For further investigation mutation screening was performed by Sanger sequencing across the 17 exons of GALC gene. A novel homozygous mutation c.727delT (p.S243QfsX7) was found. In this study we present the clinical findings along with a novel GALC mutation in a consanguineous Turkish family. Although the relationship between the various genotypes and phenotypes in Krabbe disease has not been fully elucidated an accurate genetic family study is helpful for genetic counseling follow-up and therapy of Krabbe disease. Also, it is important to identify new mutations in order to clarify their clinical importance, to assess the prognosis of the disease, and to suggest either prenatal diagnosis or preimplantation genetic diagnosis to the effected families. 相似文献

Although platinum‐based drugs are widely used chemotherapeutics for cancer treatment, the determinants of tumor cell responsiveness remain poorly understood. We show that the loss of subunits LRRC8A and LRRC8D of the heteromeric LRRC8 volume‐regulated anion channels (VRACs) increased resistance to clinically relevant cisplatin/carboplatin concentrations. Under isotonic conditions, about 50% of cisplatin uptake depended on LRRC8A and LRRC8D, but neither on LRRC8C nor on LRRC8E. Cell swelling strongly enhanced LRRC8‐dependent cisplatin uptake, bolstering the notion that cisplatin enters cells through VRAC. LRRC8A disruption also suppressed drug‐induced apoptosis independently from drug uptake, possibly by impairing VRAC‐dependent apoptotic cell volume decrease. Hence, by mediating cisplatin uptake and facilitating apoptosis, VRAC plays a dual role in the cellular drug response. Incorporation of the LRRC8D subunit into VRAC substantially increased its permeability for cisplatin and the cellular osmolyte taurine, indicating that LRRC8 proteins form the channel pore. Our work suggests that LRRC8D‐containing VRACs are crucial for cell volume regulation by an important organic osmolyte and may influence cisplatin/carboplatin responsiveness of tumors. 相似文献

Caries is the most common chronic, multifactorial disease in the world today; and little is still known about the genetic factors influencing susceptibility. Our previous genome-wide linkage scan has identified five loci related to caries susceptibility: 5q13.3, 13q31.1, 14q11.2, 14q 24.3, and Xq27. In the present study, we fine mapped the 14q11.2 locus to identify genetic contributors to caries susceptibility. Four hundred seventy-seven subjects from 72 pedigrees with similar cultural and behavioral habits and limited access to dental care living in the Philippines were studied. An additional 387 DNA samples from unrelated individuals were used to determine allele frequencies. For replication purposes, a total of 1,446 independent subjects from four different populations were analyzed based on their caries experience (low versus high). Forty-eight markers in 14q11.2 were genotyped using TaqMan chemistry. Transmission disequilibrium test was used to detect over transmission of alleles in the Filipino families, and Chi-square, Fisher’s exact and logistic regression were used to test for association between low caries experience and variant alleles in the replication data sets. We finally assessed the mRNA expression of TRAV4 in the saliva of 143 study subjects. In the Filipino families, statistically significant associations were found between low caries experience and markers in TRAV4. We were able to replicate these results in the populations studied that were characteristically from underserved areas. Direct sequencing of 22 subjects carrying the associated alleles detects one missense mutation (Y30R) that is predicted to be probably damaging. Finally, we observed higher expression in children and teenagers with low caries experience, correlating with specific alleles in TRAV4. Our results suggest that TRAV4 may have a role in protecting against caries. 相似文献

Signal transduction through the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-VEGF receptor (VEGFR) pathway has a pivotal importance
in angiogenesis, and has therefore become a prime target in antitumor therapy. In search for peptides antagonizing VEGF binding
to its receptors, we screened a random heptamer library displayed on phage for peptides that bind the whole VEGF165 molecule and inhibit VEGF dependent human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation. Two selected peptides with
sequences WHLPFKC and WHKPFRF were synthesized. Biacore and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass
spectrometry analysis indicated that these peptides bind the VEGF homodimer in a concentration-dependent manner, with micromolar
affinity, and with a 2:1 peptide: VEGF stoichiometry. They inhibited HUVEC proliferation in vitro by 77 and 55%, respectively.
Taken together, our results indicate that these peptides could be potent inhibitors of angiogenesis. Furthermore, we show
that the peptide-VEGF binding properties can be quantified, a prerequisite for the further optimization of binders. 相似文献

Cancer-testis (CT) genes are expressed in various cancers but not in normal tissues other than in cells of the germline. Although DNA demethylation of promoter-proximal CpGs of CT genes is linked to their expression in cancer, the mechanisms leading to demethylation are unknown. To elucidate such mechanisms we chose to study the Caco-2 colorectal cancer cell line during the course of its spontaneous differentiation in vitro, as we found CT genes, in particular PAGE2, -2B and SPANX-B, to be up-regulated during this process. Differentiation of these cells resulted in a mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) as evidenced by the gain of epithelial markers CDX2, Claudin-4 and E-cadherin, and a concomitant loss of mesenchymal markers Vimentin, Fibronectin-1 and Transgelin. PAGE2 and SPAN-X up-regulation was accompanied by an increase in Ten-eleven translocation-2 (TET2) expression and cytosine 5-hydroxymethylation as well as the disassociation of heterochromatin protein 1 and the polycomb repressive complex 2 protein EZH2 from promoter-proximal regions of these genes. Reversal of differentiation resulted in down-regulation of PAGE2, -2B and SPANX-B, and induction of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers, demonstrating the dynamic nature of CT gene regulation in this model. 相似文献

Whole exome sequencing provides unprecedented opportunities to identify causative DNA variants in rare Mendelian disorders. Finding the responsible mutation via traditional methods in families with hearing loss is difficult due to a high degree of genetic heterogeneity. In this study we combined autozygosity mapping and whole exome sequencing in a family with 3 affected children having nonsyndromic hearing loss born to consanguineous parents. Two novel missense homozygous variants, c.508C>A (p.H170N) in GIPC3 and c.1328C>T (p.T443M) in ZNF57, were identified in the same ~6 Mb autozygous region on chromosome 19 in affected members of the family. Both variants co-segregated with the phenotype and were absent in 335 ethnicity-matched controls. Biallelic GIPC3 mutations have recently been reported to cause autosomal recessive nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Thus we conclude that the hearing loss in the family described in this report is caused by a novel missense mutation in GIPC3. Identified variant in GIPC3 had a low read depth, which was initially filtered out during the analysis leaving ZNF57 as the only potential causative gene. This study highlights some of the challenges in the analyses of whole exome data in the bid to establish the true causative variant in Mendelian disease. 相似文献

Functional PLA scaffolds are created with single component, core-sheath, or porous fiber morphology and doped with TCP nanoparticles to study the release profiles for use in bone tissue engineering applications. Pharmacokinetic analyses are performed for the three different nanofibrous structures after doping with TCP. Results indicate that single component and porous fiber scaffolds exhibit an initial-burst release profile whereas core-sheath fibers show a steady release. All scaffolds are then seeded with human adipose-derived stem cells (hASC), which remain viable and continue proliferation on all nanofibrous morphologies for up to 21 d. Osteogenic differentiation of hASC and cell-mediated calcium accretion are largest on porous fibers. 相似文献
