[Clinical feature and ATP8B1 mutation analysis of a patient with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type I].

ABSTRACT: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type I (PFIC1) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by biallelic mutations of ATP8B1 gene, with progressive cholestasis as the main clinical manifestation. This paper reports the clinical and genetic features of a PFIC1 patient definitely diagnosed by ATP8B1 genetic analysis. The patient, a boy aged 14 months, was referred to the hospital with the complaint of jaundiced skin and sclera over 10 months. The patient had been managed in different hospitals, but the therapeutic effects were unsatisfactory due to undetermined etiology. On physical examination, hepatosplenomegaly was discovered in addition to jaundice of the skin and sclera. The liver was palpable 4 cm below the right subcostal margin and 2 cm below the xiphoid while the spleen 2?cm below the left subcostal margin. The liver function test revealed elevated levels of serum total bile acids, bilirubin, and transaminases; however, the ?-glutamyl transferase level was normal. The diagnosis was genetic cholestasis of undetermined origin. At the age of 1 year and 8 months, a Roux-en-Y cholecystocolonic bypass operation was performed, and thereafter the jaundice disappeared. At 5 years and 1 month, via whole genome sequencing analysis and Sanger sequencing confirmation, the boy was found to be a homozygote of mutation c.2081T>A(p.I694N) of ATP8B1 gene, and thus PFIC1 was definitely diagnosed. The boy was followed up until he was 6 years, and jaundice did not recur, but the long-term outcome remains to be observed.

Project description:Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3) is a hepatic disorder occurring predominantly in childhood and is difficult to diagnose. PFIC3, being a rare autosomal recessive disease, is caused by genetic mutations in both alleles of ABCB4, resulting in the disruption of the bile secretory pathway. The identification of pathogenic effects resulting from different mutations in ABCB4 is the key to revealing the internal cause of disease. These mutations cause truncation, instability, misfolding, and impaired trafficking of the MDR3 protein. Here, we reported a girl, with a history of intrahepatic cholestasis and progressive liver cirrhosis, with an elevated gamma-glutamyltransferase level. Genetic screening via whole exome sequencing found a novel homozygous missense mutation ABCB4:c.1195G>C:p.V399L, and the patient was diagnosed with PFIC3. Various computational tools predicted the variant to be deleterious and evolutionary conserved. For functional characterization studies, plasmids, encoding ABCB4 wild-type and selected established mutant constructs, were expressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK-293T) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells. In vitro expression analysis observed a reduced expression of mutant protein compared to wild-type protein. We found that ABCB4 wild type was localized at the apical canalicular membrane, while mutant p.V399L showed intracellular retention. Intracellular mistrafficking proteins usually undergo proteasomal or lysosomal degradation. We found that after treatment with proteasomal inhibitor MG132 and lysosomal inhibitor bafilomycin A1, MDR3 expression of V399L was significantly increased. A decrease in MDR3 expression of mutant V399L protein may be a result of proteasomal or lysosomal degradation. Pharmacological modulator cyclosporin A and intracellular low temperature (30°C) treatment significantly rescued both the folding defect and the active maturation of the mutant protein. Our study identified a novel pathogenic mutation which expanded the mutational spectrum of the ABCB4 gene and may contribute to understanding the molecular basis of PFIC3. Therefore, genetic screening plays a conclusive role in the diagnosis of rare heterogenic disorders like PFIC3.
