A Novel Microduplication Spanning Exons 8-16 of ATP2C1 That Was Undetectable by Standard Sanger Sequencing in a Japanese Patient With Hailey-Hailey Disease.

ABSTRACT: Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is genetic skin disorder characterized by repeated and exacerbated skin lesions in friction regions. ATP2C1, encoding SPCA1, was demonstrated to be the responsible gene for HHD pathogenesis. However, for some cases, no ATP2C1 mutation could be determined by standard Sanger sequencing, thereby obscuring the cause and diagnosis of HHD. In this study, we investigated the possibility that HHD is caused by complex ATP2C1 defects using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis for 10 of 50 cases in our institute without ATP2C1 mutations. In one female Japanese patient and her father, who also show HHD, MLPA followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses revealed a novel duplication of exons 8-16 of ATP2C1. The duplication was predicted to add 20,615 base pairs, 882 nt, and 294-amino-acid residues to the genome, mRNA and SPCA1 protein, respectively. By reverse transcriptase-PCR using patient skin RNA, we could confirm that a larger transcript was produced and we found that the abundance of the normal transcript was clearly reduced in the patient. Putative structures of wild-type and duplicated proteins revealed differences in arrangement of SPCA1 domains that may have functional consequences. Strikingly, the phosphorylation and the nucleotide-binding domains were interrupted by insertion of a partial actuator, transmembrane, and phosphorylation domains. The additional 294 amino acids appear to disrupt SPCA1 structure and function, causing HHD. Our study expands the spectrum of genetic defects in HHD and showed that disruption of SPCA1 structure and function by the microduplication caused HHD in the patient and her father.

Project description:BackgroundHailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is an autosomal dominant cutaneous disorder that manifests as repeated blisters and erosions on flexural or intertriginous skin areas. The calcium-transporting ATPase type 2C member 1 gene (ATP2C1) encodes the secretory pathway Ca2+/Mn2+-ATPase 1 (SPCA1), whose deficiency is responsible for HHD. An ATP2C1 splice-site mutation (c.325-2A>G, p.Ala109_Gln120del) was previously identified in a Han Chinese family with HHD.MethodsIn this study, the identified ATP2C1 splice-site mutation (c.325-2A>G, p.Ala109_Gln120del) was investigated in transfected human embryonic kidney 293 cells to analyze its pathogenic mechanism in HHD patients by using cycloheximide chase assay, CCK8 assay and in silico modeling of SPCA1 mutant.ResultsCycloheximide chase assay showed that the degradation rate of the SPCA1 mutant was not obviously faster than that of the normal SPCA1. CCK8 assay showed that cell proliferation rates in the wild-type, A109_Q120del, and empty vector control groups all decreased in the gradient Mn2+ solutions in a dose-dependent manner. The cell proliferation rate in the wild-type was lower than that in the A109_Q120del and empty vector control (both P < 0.01), indicating overexpression of normal SPCA1 may rather induce Golgi stress, and even cell death. The cell proliferation rate in the A109_Q120del was lower than that in the empty vector control (P < 0.01), indicating that overexpression of the mutated SPCA1 may decrease its detoxification capability. Three-dimensional (3D) structure model of SPCA1 built by SWISS-MODEL and PyMOL showed that absence of the 12 amino acids from p.Ala109 to p.Gln120 in the SPCA1 mutant can cause obviously shortened transmembrane 2, which may affect correct localization of SPCA1 on the Golgi.ConclusionThese results demonstrate that the ATP2C1 mutation (c.325-2A>G, p.Ala109_Gln120del) may cause impaired SPCA1 capability to detoxify Mn2+ and abnormal SPCA1 structure, which reveals a new side for the pathogenesis of HHD.
