Possible Role of a Missense Mutation of p.P167S on NOTCH3 Gene Associated with Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy.

ABSTRACT: Background:Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a single-gene disorder caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene, located on chromosome 19p13. NOTCH3 encodes a transmembrane receptor which plays a role in cellular differentiation and cell cycle regulation. Case Report:A 71-year-old female showing headache and memory impairment, familial history of stroke and having a missense mutation from proline to serine at codon 167 in the exon 4 on NOTCH3 gene. Five family members revealed the same mutation (c.499C>T), who presented migrainous headache and stroke. In this study, we have uncovered a novel NOTCH3 mutation at the nucleotide position 499 (c.499C>T; p.P167S) in a family with CADASIL. Conclusions:We suggested a missense mutation of proline to serine at codon 167 in exon 4 of the NOTCH3 gene, which resulted in the substitution of cytosine to thymine (c.499C>T) resulting migraine, stroke and vascular cognitive impairment.

Clinical Features of 4 Novel NOTCH3 Mutations of Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy in China.

Project description:BACKGROUND This study aimed to identify NOTCH3 mutations and describe the genetic and clinical features and magnetic resonance imaging results in 11 unrelated patients with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) from Henan province in China. MATERIAL AND METHODS NOTCH3 was directly sequenced in 11 unrelated patients of Chinese descent. The clinical presentations and magnetic resonance imaging features were retrospectively analyzed in the 11 index patients with a definite diagnosis. RESULTS Seven different mutations were identified in 11 unrelated patients, including 4 novel mutations (p.P167S, p.P652S, p.C709R, and p.R1100H) in China and 3 reported mutations (p.C117R, p.R578C, and p.R607C). Four novel mutations (p.P167S, p.P652S, p.C709R, and p.R1100H) were predicted to be probably pathogenic using an online pathogenicity prediction program through comprehensive analysis. Clinical presentations in symptomatic patients included stroke, cognitive decline, psychiatric disturbances, and migraine. Multiple lacunars infarcts and leukoaraiosis were detected on MRI in most symptomatic patients, while white-matter lesions were identified in the temporal pole or the external capsule in all affected patients. CONCLUSIONS The mutation spectrum of CADASIL patients from Henan province in China displayed some differences from that of those reported previously. DNA sequencing was used to diagnose all 11 patients as having CADASIL, and we found 4 novel mutations. The present results further contribute to the enrichment of NOTCH3 mutation databases.

Transgenic mice expressing mutant Notch3 develop vascular alterations characteristic of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy.

Project description:Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an increasingly recognized adult-onset autosomal dominant vascular dementia, caused by highly stereotyped mutations in the Notch3 receptor. CADASIL is a widespread angiopathy characterized by a degeneration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and the abnormal accumulation of electron-dense granular material called GOM and Notch3 protein, because of an impaired clearance. Evidence that VSMCs are the primary target of the pathogenic process is supported by the restricted expression of Notch3 in these cells but mechanisms of their degeneration remain essentially unknown. We generated transgenic mice in which the SM22alpha promoter drove, in VSMCs, the expression of a full-length human Notch3 carrying the Arg90Cys mutation, a CADASIL archetypal mutation. Transgenic mice showed no evidence of prominent brain parenchyma damage but demonstrated the two hallmarks of the CADASIL angiopathy, GOM deposits and Notch3 accumulation, within both the cerebral and peripheral arteries. Of interest, arteries of the tail were more severely affected with prominent signs of VSMC degeneration. Time-course analysis of vessel changes revealed that disruption of normal VSMC anchorage to adjacent extracellular matrix and cells, VSMC cytoskeleton changes as well as starting signs of VSMC degeneration, which were detected around 10 months of age, preceded Notch3 and GOM accumulation appearance, which were observed only by 14 to 16 months of age. In conclusion, we have generated transgenic mice that recapitulate the characteristic vascular lesions observed in CADASIL. Our results indicate that Notch3 or GOM accumulation are unlikely to be the prerequisites for the induction of VSMC degeneration and suggest that degeneration of VSMCs may rather be triggered by the disruption of their normal anchorage, based on the important role of adhesion for cell survival.

Clinical and imaging features of patients with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy and cysteine-sparing NOTCH3 mutations.

Project description:BackgroundCharacteristics of patients with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) and cysteine-sparing NOTCH3 mutations are relatively unknown. This study compared clinical and imaging characteristics between patients with CADASIL and cysteine-sparing NOTCH3 mutations and those with CADASIL and cysteine-involving NOTCH3 mutations.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients with CADASIL admitted to the Asan Medical Center between September 1999 and September 2017. We compared clinical and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics based on the presence or absence of cysteine-involving NOTCH3 gene mutations. We compared white matter change frequencies and grades in specific spatial regions between the groups according to age-related white matter change (ARWMC) scores. We evaluated the presence, number, and anatomical distributions of cerebral microbleeds according to the microbleed anatomical rating scale.ResultsWe reviewed data from 79 patients (55 cysteine-involving, 24 cysteine-sparing NOTCH3 mutations). Clinical symptoms and signs did not differ significantly between the groups. The white matter change frequency and ARWMC scores (adjusted for age and stroke risk factors) in the anterior temporal lobes were lower in cysteine-sparing patients than in cysteine-involving patients. Frequencies and grades of the other brain region's white matter changes and cerebral microbleeds were similar between the groups.ConclusionsPatients with CADASIL and cysteine-sparing NOTCH3 mutations showed less involvement of the anterior temporal lobes in brain MRI than those with CADASIL and cysteine-involving NOTCH3 mutations, although both groups showed similar clinical characteristics.

Clinical features and spectrum of NOTCH3 variants in Finnish patients with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL).

Project description:ObjectivesCerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a cerebral small vessel disease caused by pathogenic variants in the NOTCH3 gene. In Finland, the majority of CADASIL patients carry the pathogenic founder variant c.397C>T, (p.Arg133Cys), but the spectrum of other NOTCH3 variants has not been investigated previously. The aim of the study was to investigate the spectrum and prevalence of NOTCH3 variants Finnish CADASIL patients and to examine the clinical features associated with them.Materials and methodsThe spectrum of NOTCH3 variants and the clinical features associated with them were retrospectively examined in 294 Finnish CADASIL patients tested during January 1996 to October 2021 in the Medical Genetics laboratory of Department of Genomics of Turku University Hospital, where practically all samples of patients with suspected CADASIL in Finland are investigated.ResultsThe most common NOTCH3 variants in the study cohort were c.397C>T, (p.Arg133Cys) (68%) and c.3206A>G p.(Tyr1069Cys) (18%), but other less common NOTCH3 variants were detected in as many as 14% of the patients. Eight of the detected NOTCH3 variants were novel: c.520T>A,p.(Cys174Ser), c.836A>G,p.(Gln279Arg), c.1369T>G,p.(Cys457Gly), c.1338C>G,p.(Cys446Trp), c.1564T>G,p.(Cys522Gly), c.2848T>G,p.(Cys950Gly), c.6102dup,p.(Gly2035Argfs*60), and c.2410+6C>G. Other NOTCH3 variants than p.Arg133Cys and p.Tyr1069Cys were more often associated with more severe clinical features.ConclusionThis study revealed the genetic and clinical spectrum of CADASIL in the Finnish population. Sequencing of the whole NOTCH3 gene performing a gene-panel or exome sequencing is recommended when suspecting CADASIL.

No association between multiple sclerosis and the Notch3 gene responsible for cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL).

Project description:The clinical and radiological overlap between multiple sclerosis and cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL; MIM 125310) raises the possibility of diagnostic confusion and suggests that pleiotropic effects of the Notch3 gene might include influencing susceptibility to multiple sclerosis. To investigate these possibilities three microsatellites markers closely flanking the Notch 3 gene in 745 simplex families with multiple sclerosis were genotyped and exon 3 and exon 4 of the gene were directly sequenced in a subset of the index members from these families (n=93). No evidence for association was found in any of the three markers and none of the commoner mutations causing CADASIL were found in the sequenced patients.

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy syndrome mutations increase susceptibility to spreading depression.

Project description:Migraine with aura is often the first manifestation of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy syndrome (CADASIL), a disorder caused by NOTCH3 gene mutations expressed predominantly in vascular smooth muscle. Here, we report that cortical spreading depression (CSD), the electrophysiological substrate of migraine aura, is enhanced in mice expressing a vascular Notch 3 CADASIL mutation (R90C) or a Notch 3 knockout mutation. The phenotype was stronger in Notch 3 knockout mice, implicating both loss of function and neomorphic mutations in its pathogenesis. Our results link vascular smooth muscle Notch 3 mutations to enhanced spreading depression susceptibility, implicating the neurovascular unit in the development of migraine aura.

Candesartan prevents arteriopathy progression in cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy model.

Project description:Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) causes dementia and gait disturbance due to arteriopathy. Cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CARASIL) is a hereditary form of CSVD caused by loss of high-temperature requirement A1 (HTRA1) serine protease activity. In CARASIL, arteriopathy causes intimal thickening, smooth muscle cell (SMC) degeneration, elastic lamina splitting, and vasodilation. The molecular mechanisms were proposed to involve the accumulation of matrisome proteins as substrates or abnormalities in transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling. Here, we show that HTRA1-/- mice exhibited features of CARASIL-associated arteriopathy: intimal thickening, abnormal elastic lamina, and vasodilation. In addition, the mice exhibited reduced distensibility of the cerebral arteries and blood flow in the cerebral cortex. In the thickened intima, matrisome proteins, including the hub protein fibronectin (FN) and latent TGF-β binding protein 4 (LTBP-4), which are substrates of HTRA1, accumulated. Candesartan treatment alleviated matrisome protein accumulation and normalized the vascular distensibility and cerebral blood flow. Furthermore, candesartan reduced the mRNA expression of Fn1, Ltbp-4, and Adamtsl2, which are involved in forming the extracellular matrix network. Our results indicate that these accumulated matrisome proteins may be potential therapeutic targets for arteriopathy in CARASIL.

Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Potential Therapeutic Targets in Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy With Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL).

Project description:Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), is a hereditary small-vessels angiopathy caused by mutations in the NOTCH 3 gene, located on chromosome 19, usually affecting middle-ages adults, whose clinical manifestations include migraine with aura, recurrent strokes, mood disorders, and cognitive impairment leading to dementia and disability. In this review, we provide an overview of the current knowledge on the pathogenic mechanisms underlying the disease, focus on the corresponding therapeutic targets, and discuss the most promising treatment strategies currently under investigations. The hypothesis that CADASIL is an appropriate model to explore the pathogenesis of sporadic cerebral small vessel disease is also reviewed.

Analysis of gut microbiota in patients with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL).

Project description:Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a major hereditary small vessel disease caused by mutations in NOTCH3. The variations in progression and severity among patients suggest that the CADASIL phenotype is modified by some genetic and environmental factors. Recent studies have shown the potential roles of gut microbiota in human diseases. We hypothesized that gut microbiota modifies the disease phenotype. We performed gut microbial meta 16S rRNA analysis of fecal samples from 15 CADASIL patients and 16 controls. The microbial α- and β-diversities and taxonomy were compared between CADASIL patients and controls and between CADASIL patients with and without an ischemic stroke history. No significant difference in α- or β-diversity was observed in either case-control or subgroup comparisons. In the taxonomic microbial analysis, there was a significant increase in abundance of 6 genera and significant decrease in 2 genera in CADASIL patients compared with controls. There was a significant decrease in abundance of 2 genera in CADASIL patients with compared with those without stroke. This is the first study on CADASIL focusing on gut microbiota. Our findings suggest that gut microbiota modifies the onset and progression of CADASIL.

Update on the Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Biomarkers of Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy With Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy.

Project description:Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most common monogenic disorder of the cerebral small blood vessels. It is caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene on chromosome 19, and more than 280 distinct pathogenic mutations have been reported to date. CADASIL was once considered a very rare disease with an estimated prevalence of 1.3-4.1 per 100,000 adults. However, recent large-scale genomic studies have revealed a high prevalence of pathogenic NOTCH3 variants among the general population, with the highest risk being among Asians. The disease severity and age at onset vary significantly even among individuals who carry the same NOTCH3 mutations. It is still unclear whether a significant genotype-phenotype correlation is present in CADASIL. The accumulation of granular osmiophilic material in the vasculature is a characteristic feature of CADASIL. However, the exact pathogenesis of CADASIL remains largely unclear despite various laboratory and clinical observations being made. Major hypotheses proposed so far have included aberrant NOTCH3 signaling, toxic aggregation, and abnormal matrisomes. Several characteristic features have been observed in the brain magnetic resonance images of patients with CADASIL, including subcortical lacunar lesions and white matter hyperintensities in the anterior temporal lobe or external capsule, which were useful in differentiating CADASIL from sporadic stroke in patients. The number of lacunes and the degree of brain atrophy were useful in predicting the clinical outcomes of patients with CADASIL. Several promising blood biomarkers have also recently been discovered for CADASIL, which require further research for validation.
