FAM111A is dispensable for electrolyte homeostasis in mice

ABSTRACT: Autosomal dominant mutations in FAM111A are causative for Kenny-Caffey syndrome type 2. Patients with Kenny-Caffey syndrome suffer from severe growth retardation, skeletal dysplasia, hypoparathyroidism, hypocalcaemia, hyperphosphataemia and hypomagnesaemia. While recent studies have reported FAM111A to function in antiviral response and DNA replication, its role in regulating electrolyte homeostasis remains unknown. In this study, we assessed the role of FAM111A in the regulation of serum electrolyte balance using a Fam111a knockout (Fam111a-/-) mouse model. Fam111a-/- mice displayed a normal weight and serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentration and exhibited unaltered magnesium, calcium and phosphate levels in serum and 24-hour urine. Expression of calciotropic (including Cabp28k, Trpv5, Klotho and Cyp24a1), magnesiotropic (including Trpm6, Trpm7, Cnnm2 and Cnnm4) and phosphotropic (Slc20a1, Slc20a2, Slc34a1 and Slc34a3) genes in the kidneys, duodenum and colon were not affected by Fam111a depletion. Only Slc34a2 expression was significantly upregulated in the duodenum, but not in the colon. Analysis of femurs showed unaffected bone morphology and density in Fam111a-/- mice. Kidney and parathyroid histology were also normal in Fam111a-/- mice. In conclusion, our study is the first to characterise the function of FAM111A in vivo and we report that FAM111A is not essential for growth or electrolyte homeostasis in mice.

Project description:Purpose: To investigate the expression and function of apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) in diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: The quantitative expression of APOC3 in aqueous humor of patients with DR was detected using our proteomic datasets (PXD046630 and PXD053634). A multiplex immunoassay was used to examine the level of APOC3 in serum of patients with DR. Western blot, immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to measure APOC3 expression in liver, duodenum, retina and serum of db/db mice and oxygen induced retinopathy (OIR) mice, and in the human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (hRMECs) exposed to high glucose, hypoxia or both of them. Cell proliferation, migration and tube formation assays were used to assessed the phenotypic characteristics of hRMECs treated with recombinant APOC3 (r-APOC3), hypoxia and both of them. RNA sequence analysis and inhibition assay were conducted to explore the pathway in r-APOC3 and hypoxia stimulation. Results: APOC3 expression were significantly increased in aqueous humor and serum of patients with DR, as well as in liver, duodenum, serum, and retina of db/db mice and OIR mice, while did not markedly change in both hRMECs and their conditioned medium when exposed to high glucose, hypoxia or both of them. r-APOC3 combined with hypoxia significantly enhanced the proliferation, migration and tube formation of hRMECs, and promoted the upregulation of MYC, VEGF and IL6. Inhibition of MYC expression alleviated the phenotypic changes in hRMECs treated with r-APOC3 combined with hypoxia.
