In vitro functional rescue by ivacaftor of an ABCB11 variant involved in PFIC2 and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy

ABSTRACT:

Background

ABCB11 variations are responsible for a spectrum of rare liver diseases, including progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2) and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). Current medical treatment of these conditions mostly relies on ursodeoxycholic acid with limited efficacy. We report on the in vitro study of the p.A257V missense variant of ABCB11 identified in a PFIC2 patient and in her mother who experienced ICP.

Results

The Ala257 residue is located outside the ATP-binding site of ABCB11. We show that the p.A257V variant of ABCB11 is correctly expressed at the canalicular membrane of HepG2 cells but that its function significantly decreased when studied in MDCK cells. This functional defect can be fully rescued by Ivacaftor.

Conclusion

Ivacaftor could be considered as a new pharmacological tool able to respond to an unmet medical need for patients with ICP and PFIC2 due to ABCB11 variations affecting ABCB11 function, even when the residue involved is not located in an ATP-binding site of ABCB11.

An expanded role for heterozygous mutations of ABCB4, ABCB11, ATP8B1, ABCC2 and TJP2 in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy.

Project description:Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) affects 1/140 UK pregnancies; with pruritus, hepatic impairment and elevated serum bile acids. Severe disease is complicated by spontaneous preterm delivery and stillbirth. Previous studies have reported mutations in hepatocellular transporters (ABCB4, ABCB11). High throughput sequencing in 147 patients was performed in the transporters ABCB4, ABCB11, ATP8B1, ABCC2 and tight junction protein 2 (TJP2). Twenty-six potentially damaging variants were identified with the following predicted protein changes: Twelve ABCB4 mutations - Arg47Gln, Met113Val, Glu161Gly, Thr175Ala, Glu528Glyfs*6, Arg590Gln, Ala601Ser, Glu884Ter, Gly722Ala, Tyr775Met (x2), Trp854Ter. Four potential ABCB11 mutations - Glu297Gly (x3) and a donor splice site mutation (intron 19). Five potential ATP8B1 mutations - Asn45Thr (x3), and two others, Glu114Gln and Lys203Glu. Two ABCC2 mutations - Glu1352Ala and a duplication (exons 24 and 25). Three potential mutations were identified in TJP2; Thr62Met (x2) and Thr626Ser. No patient harboured more than one mutation. All were heterozygous. An additional 545 cases were screened for the potential recurrent mutations of ATP8B1 (Asn45Thr) and TJP2 (Thr62Met) identifying three further occurrences of Asn45Thr. This study has expanded known mutations in ABCB4 and ABCB11 and identified roles in ICP for mutations in ATP8B1 and ABCC2. Possible novel mutations in TJP2 were also discovered.

Clinical and ABCB11 profiles in Korean infants with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis.

Project description:AimTo investigate clinical profiles and mutations of ABCB11 in Koreans with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis 2 and review the differences between Koreans and others.MethodsOf 47 patients with neonatal cholestasis, five infants had chronic intrahepatic cholestasis with normal γ-glutamyl transpeptidase. Direct sequencing analyses of ABCB11, including exons and introns, were performed from peripheral blood.ResultsLiving donor-liver transplantation was performed in four patients because of rapidly progressive hepatic failure and hepatocellular carcinoma. Three missense mutations were found in two patients: compound heterozygous 677C>T (S226L)/3007G>A (G1003R) and heterozygous 2296G>A (G766R). The mutations were located near and in the transmembranous space.ConclusionAlterations in the transmembrane of the bile salt export pump in the Korean infants were different from those previously reported in Chinese, Japanease, Taiwanese, and European patients.

Polymorphisms in ABCB11 and ATP8B1 Associated with Development of Severe Intrahepatic Cholestasis in Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Project description:We report a young man presenting with jaundice and severe debilitating intrahepatic cholestasis 7 months before the diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity was not raised. Liver biopsy demonstrated deficiency of canalicular GGT and bile salt export pump expression, which suggested "benign" recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis. Direct sequencing of genomic DNA was therefore undertaken to look for mutations in ATP8B1 and ABCB11. Cholestasis and pruritus are well recognized presenting features of Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, striking in this case is that the intrahepatic cholestasis presented and resolved 7 months before the diagnosis. Furthermore, 4 polymorphisms were identified in ATP8B1 in this patient-c.696T > C (rs319438), c.811A > C (rs319438), c.2855G > A (rs1296811) and c.3454G > A (rs222581)-and two polymorphisms in ABCB11-c.1331T > C (rs2287622) and c.3084A > G (rs497692); 2 of which have been associated with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. We therefore postulate that these polymorphisms predisposed this patient to the development of intrahepatic cholestasis within the abnormal pro-inflammatory cytokine milieu typical for Hodgkin's lymphoma. This case shows for the first time that some polymorphisms in ABCB11 and ATP8B1 may predispose to the development of intrahepatic cholestasis in Hodgkin's lymphoma. It also demonstrates the importance of close clinical surveillance for the development of Hodgkin's lymphoma in patients presenting with unexplained intrahepatic cholestasis.

Linc02527 promoted autophagy in Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy.

Project description:LncRNA plays a crucial role in human disease. However, the expression and function of LncRNA in ICP(Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy) is still not fully elucidated. In this study, we found Linc02527 was increased expression in placenta and serum of ICP patients. Ectopically expression of Linc02527 promoted autophagy and proliferate in HTR8 cells. Silencing Linc02527 suppressed the autophagy and proliferate in HTR8 cells. Mechanically study revealed that Linc02527 regulated the expression of ATG5 and ATG7 by sponging miR-3185. Linc02527 directly binding to YBX1 and activated P21. The growth of C57 mouse was retarded when autophagy was activated. In normal condition, inhibited autophagy using chloroquine did not affect the growth of C57 mouse. However, in the condition of autophagy was activated, inhibited autophagy using chloroquine can improve the growth of C57 mouse. Overall, the results of this study identified Linc02527 as a candidate biomarker in ICP and a potential target for ICP therapy. Chloroquine was a potential drug for ICP therapy.

The molecular genetics of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy.

Project description:Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), also known as obstetric cholestasis, causes maternal pruritus and liver impairment, and may be complicated by spontaneous preterm labour, fetal asphyxial events and intrauterine death. Our understanding of the aetiology of this disease has expanded significantly in the last decade due to a better understanding of the role played by genetic factors. In particular, advances in our knowledge of bile homeostasis has led to the identification of genes that play a considerable role in susceptibility to ICP. In this review we consider these advances and discuss the disease in the context of bile synthesis and metabolism, focusing on the genetic discoveries that have shed light on the molecular aetiology and pathophysiology of the condition.

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy: new insights into its pathogenesis.

Project description:AIM:To search a specific gene expression profile in women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) and to evaluate the maternal and foetal outcome. METHODS:We consecutively enrolled 12 women with ICP and 12 healthy pregnant controls. The gene expression profile was assayed with the microarray technique including a panel of 5541 human genes. Microarray data were validated by real-time PCR technique. RESULTS:Caesarean delivery was performed in eight patients with ICP versus three controls (p = 0.05). ICP women delivered at earlier gestational age than control (p < 0.001). Foetal distress was recorded in two babies, but we failed to find any correlation between bile salt concentration and foetal distress. Twenty genes potentially correlated with ICP were found differentially expressed (p < 0.05). Among these, three belong to genetic classes involved in pathogenic mechanisms of ICP: (1) pathophysiology of pruritus (GABRA2, cases versus controls = 2, upregulated gene); (2) lipid metabolism and bile composition (HLPT, cases versus controls = 0.6, down-regulated gene) and (3) protein trafficking and cytoskeleton arrangement (KIFC3, cases versus controls = 0.5, down-regulated gene). CONCLUSIONS:Different gene expression may contribute to the complex pathogenesis of ICP. An upregulation of GABRA2 receptor may indicate that GABA may play a role in the pathogenesis of pruritus in this condition.

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Z Variant (AAT PI*Z) as a Risk Factor for Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy.

Project description:Background: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP; prevalence 0.2-15.6%) is the most common pregnancy-related liver disorder. It may have serious consequences for a pregnancy, including increased risk of preterm delivery, meconium staining of amniotic fluid, fetal bradycardia, distress, and fetal demise. In cases of high bile acids (>100μmol/L), patients have 10-fold increase in the risk of stillbirth. Biophysical methods of fetal monitoring, such as cardiotocography, ultrasonography, or Doppler have been proven unreliable for risk prediction in the course of intrahepatic cholestasis. Therefore, we believe extensive research for more specific, especially early, markers should be carried out. By analogy with cholestasis in children with inherited alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), we hypothesized the SERPINA1 Z pathogenic variant might be related to a higher risk of cholestasis in pregnancy. This study aimed to investigate the most common AATD variants (Z and S SERPINA1 alleles) in a group of cholestatic pregnant women. Results: The Z carrier frequency was calculated to be 6.8%, which is much higher compared to the general population [2.3%; the Chi-squared test with Yates correction is 6.8774 (p=0.008)]. Conclusion: Increased prevalence of SERPINA1 PI*Z variant in a group of women with intrahepatic cholestasis may suggest a possible genetic origin of a higher risk of intrahepatic cholestasis in pregnancy.

Role of ABCC2 common variants in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy.

Project description:The pathogenesis of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a disorder that adversely affects maternal wellbeing and fetal outcome, is unclear. However, multiple factors probably interact along with a genetic predisposition. We would like to add some comments on a paper recently published concerning the role of ABCB11 and ABCC2 polymorphisms in both ICP and contraceptive-induced cholestasis, especially in the light of our recently published findings about a positive association between ICP and ABCC2 common variants.
