Sulfonylurea treatment in an infant with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus caused by an adenosine triphosphate binding cassette subfamily C member 8 gene mutation.

ABSTRACT: Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is an insulin-requiring monogenic form of diabetes that generally presents before six months of age. The following two types of NDM are known: transient NDM (TNDM) and permanent NDM (PNDM). Here we report on an infant with TNDM caused by a mutation (p.Gly832Cys) of the gene for the ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 8 (ABCC8). The patient exhibited hyperglycemia (600 mg/dL) at five weeks of age and insulin treatment was initiated. As genetic analysis identified a missense mutation within ABCC8, the insulin was replaced by glibenclamide at five months of age. Thereafter, the insulin was successfully withdrawn and his glycemic condition was well controlled at a dose of 0.0375 mg/kg/d. Since the patient's blood glucose was under control and serum C-peptide levels were measurable, glibenclamide was stopped at 1 yr, 10 mo of age. The lack of DM relapsed to date confirms the TNDM diagnosis. In conclusion, when insulin is replaced with a sulfonylurea-class medication (SU) in NDM patients, serum C-peptide levels should be closely monitored and fine adjustment of SU dose is recommended.

Project description:AbstractAberrant expression of adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette subfamily C (ABCC), one of the largest superfamilies and transporter gene families of membrane proteins, is associated with various tumors. However, its relationship with liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) remains unclear.We used the Oncomine, UALCAN, Human Protein Atlas, GeneMANIA, GO, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), TIMER, and Kaplan-Meier Plotter databases. On May 20, 2021, we searched these databases for the terms ABCC1, ABCC2, ABCC3, ABCC4, ABCC5, ABCC6, ABCC7, ABCC8, ABCC9, ABCC10, ABCC11, ABCC12, ABCC13, and "liver cancer." The exposure group comprised LIHC patients, and the control group comprised normal patients (those with noncancerous liver tissue). All patients shown in the retrieval language search were included. We compared the mRNA expression of these proteins in LIHC and control patients to examine the potential role of ABCC1-13 in LIHC.Relative to the normal liver tissue, mRNA expression of ABCC1/2/3/4/5/6/10 was significantly upregulated (P < .001), and that of ABCC9/11 significantly downregulated (both P < .001), in LIHC. ABCC mRNA expression varied with gender (P < .05), except for ABCC11-13; with tumor grade (P < 0.05), except for ABCC7/12/13; with tumor stage (P < .05), except for ABCC11-13; and with lymph node metastasis status (P < .05), except for ABCC7/8/11/12/13. Based on KEGG enrichment analysis, these genes were associated with the following pathways: ABC transporters, Bile secretion, Antifolate resistance, and Peroxisome (P < .05). Except for ABCC12/13, the ABCCs were significantly associated with B cell, CD8+ T cell, CD4+ T cell, macrophage, neutrophil, and dendritic cell infiltration (P < .05). High mRNA expression of ABCC1/4/5/8 (P < .05) and low expression of ABCC6/7/9/12/13 (P < .05) indicated poor prognosis. Prognostic significance was indicated for ABCC2/13 for both men and women (P < .05); for ABCC1/6/12/13 for tumor grades 1-3 (P < .05); for ABCC5/11/12/13 for all tumor stages (P < .05); for ABCC1/11/12/13 for American Joint Committee on Cancer T stages 1-3 (P < .05); and for ABCC1/5/6/13 for vascular invasion. None showed prognostic significance for microvascular invasion (P < .05).We identified ABCC1/2/3/4/5/6/9/10/11 as potential diagnostic markers, and ABCC1/4/5/6/7/8/9/12/13 as prognostic markers, of LIHC. Our future work will promote the use of ABCCs in the diagnosis and treatment of LIHC.

Project description:Sitosterolemia (OMIM ##210250), also known as phytosterolemia, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 5 (ABCG5) or member 8 (ABCG8) genes. This leads to abnormal functions of the transporter sterolin-1 protein encoded by ABCG5 and sterolin-2 protein encoded by ABCG8, respectively, which can hinder the formation of stable ABCG5/G8 heterodimers, decreasing its ability to transport sterols. As a result, phytosterols in tissue or plasma are significantly increased, leading to early onset atherosclerosis-related diseases and xanthelasma of tendons and skin. In this study, whole exome sequencing was performed on a Chinese Han proband with sitosterolemia to capture the target gene and screen for suspected pathogenic mutations. Sanger sequencing of the family members was performed to verify the relationship between family genetics and phenotypes. The structural and functional changes in the transporter sterolin-1 protein after the responsible mutation were predicted using bioinformatics analysis. A novel compound heterozygous mutation in the ABCG5 gene (NM_022436) was identified in a proband with sitosterolemia, one of which was inherited from the father: c.296T >G (p.M99R), and one from the mother: c.-76 C >T. SIFT, Polyphen2, and Mutation Taster software predicted that p.M99R may be the responsible variant and a novel variant. RNAFold software predicts that c.-76 C >T may affect the transcriptional information or the binding of RNA binding proteins by regulating the structure of RNA, and ultimately affect gene transcription or RNA stability and translation. Swiss model software predicts that the amino acid sequence around p.M99R is highly conserved, and p.M99R leads to instability of the tertiary structure of the ABCG5/ABCG8 heterodimer. GPS 5.0 predicted that M99R affects the phosphorylation of nearby amino acid sequences, and DUET and VarSite software predicted that M99R affects the stability of sterolin-1 and cause disease. The p.M99R and c.-76 C >T mutations led to the formation of unstable heterodimers, which disturbed sterol absorption and excretion in vivo. The compound heterozygous variants c.296 T >G (p.m99r) and C.-76 C >T on exon 3 of ABCG5 in this family may be the molecular genetic basis of sitosterolemia.
