Abstract
SUMMARY The impairment of osteoblast differentiation is one cause of the glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GCOP). The quantitative proteomic analysis of the dexamethasone (DEX)-induced effects of osteoblast differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis using stable-isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) demonstrated drastic changes of some key proteins in MC3T3-E1 cells. INTRODUCTION The impairment of osteoblast differentiation is one of the main explanations of GCOP. SILAC enables accurate quantitative proteomic analysis of protein changes in cells to explore the underlying mechanism of GCOP. METHODS Osteoprogenitor MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with or without 10(−6) M DEX for 7 days, and the differentiation ability, proliferation, and apoptosis of the cells were measured. The protein level changes were analyzed using SILAC and liquid chromatography-coupled tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS In this study, 10(−6) M DEX inhibited both osteoblast differentiation and proliferation but induced apoptosis in osteoprogenitor MC3T3-E1 cells on day 7. We found that 10(−6) M DEX increased the levels of tubulins (TUBA1A, TUBB2B, and TUBB5), IQGAP1, S100 proteins (S100A11, S100A6, S100A4, and S100A10), myosin proteins (MYH9 and MYH11), and apoptosis and stress proteins, while inhibited the protein levels of ATP synthases (ATP5O, ATP5H, ATP5A1, and ATP5F1), G3BP-1, and Ras-related proteins (Rab-1A, Rab-2A, and Rab-7) in MC3T3-E1 cells. CONCLUSIONS Several members of the ATP synthases, myosin proteins, small GTPase superfamily, and S100 proteins may participate in functional inhibition of osteoblast progenitor cells by GCs. Such protein expression changes may be of pathological significance in coping with GCOP.

Abstract
The term lissencephaly covers a group of rare malformations sharing the common feature of anomalies in the appearance of brain convolutions (characterised by simplification or absence of folding) associated with abnormal organisation of the cortical layers as a result of neuronal migration defects during embryogenesis. Children with lissencephaly have feeding and swallowing problems, muscle tone anomalies (early hypotonia and subsequently limb hypertonia), seizures (in particular, infantile spasms) and severe psychomotor retardation. Multiple forms of lissencephaly have been described and their current classification is based on the associated malformations and underlying aetiology. Two large groups can be distinguished: classical lissencephaly (and its variants) and cobblestone lissencephaly. In classical lissencephaly (or type I), the cortex appears thickened, with four more or less disorganised layers rather than six normal layers. In the variants of classical lissencephaly, extra-cortical anomalies are also present (total or subtotal agenesis of the corpus callosum and/or cerebellar hypoplasia). The classical lissencephalies and the variant forms can be further divided into several subgroups. Four forms can be distinguished on the basis of their genetic aetiology: anomalies in the LIS1 gene (isolated lissencephaly and Miller-Dieker syndrome), anomalies in the TUBA3 and DCX genes, and lissencephalies caused by mutations in the ARX gene (XLAG syndrome, X-linked lissencephaly with agenesis of the corpus callosum). The incidence of all forms of type I lissencephaly is around 1 in 100,000 births. In addition to these four entities, isolated lissencephalies without a known genetic defect, lissencephalies with severe microcephaly (microlissencephaly) and lissencephalies associated with polymalformative syndromes are also included in the group of classical lissencephalies. Cobblestone lissencephaly (formally referred to as type II) is present in three entities: the Walker-Warburg, Fukuyama and MEB (Muscle-Eye-Brain) syndromes. It is characterised by global disorganisation of cerebral organogenesis with an uneven cortical surface (with a pebbled or cobblestone appearance). Microscopic examination reveals total disorganisation of the cortex and the absence of any distinguishable layers. Management is symptomatic only (swallowing problems require adapted feeding to prevent food aspiration, articular and respiratory physiotherapy to prevent orthopaedic problems resulting from hyptonia and treatment of gastrooesophageal reflux). The epilepsy is often resistant to treatment. The encephalopathy associated with lissencephaly is often very severe and affected children are completely dependent on the carer.

Abstract
Lissencephaly (LIS) is a brain malformation manifested by a smooth cerebral surface, thickened cortical mantle and microscopic evidence of incomplete neuronal migration, excluding polymicrogyria and other cortical dysplasias. It is important to consider LIS in the diagnosis of developmental delay as many patients may be diagnosed as cerebral palsy. It may have familial occurrence and can occur in sibs of same family often leading to a diagnostic problem. Several lissencephaly syndromes have been described. Here a familial syndrome of lissencephaly is reported. Autosomal recessive inheritance is suggested by recurrence in sibs within the same family, but germ cell mosaicism for a dominant mutation cannot be excluded.

Abstract
Orofaciodigital syndromes (OFD) are a group of diseases classified according to the phenotype and the mode of inheritance. We report on a fetus presenting with some features of the OFDs but with additional global cerebral dysgenesis. Ultrasonography at 19 weeks of pregnancy disclosed hypoplasia of the cerebral hemispheres with a large intrahemispheric cyst, as well as dysmorphic facial features and brachy-syndactyly IV-V. Fetal brain MRI confirmed these features and disclosed additional morphological anomalies: Agenesis of the vermis, complete agenesis of the corpus callosum, pachygyria of the left hemisphere. Pathological examination showed a disproportionate fetus with large head and short limbs. Dysmorphic features included hypertelorism, broad nasal root, long philtrum, severe micrognathia, microstomia, cleft palate, and lobulated tongue. Radiographs showed distal malformations of the four limbs. Neuropathological examination showed a severe disturbance of the architecture of both hemispheres, more severe on the right side, with four cystic structures located between the hemispheres. Olfactory stalks, mammillary bodies, and midline structures were absent. Cerebellum and brainstem were hypoplastic. On the right hemisphere as on most part of the left one, microscopic findings displayed a complete disruption of the developing mantle with disturbance of the neuronal migration. The present fetus fulfilled the diagnosis of OFD syndrome: Dysmorphic features, cleft palate and lobulate tongue and polysyndactylies of the feet and hands. The cerebral involvement would make it closer to OFD type VI, but brain malformations were far more severe in the present case, with complex and generalized cortical dysgenesis, evoking a disturbance occurring at a very early stage of the embryogenesis.

Abstract
A third type of lissencephaly that does not fufil diagnostic criteria of type I ("classical") and type II ("cobblestone") lissencephaly was described by our group as a new entity identified as OMIM 601160. This lethal familial syndrome comprises micrencephaly/lissencephaly and a spectrum of abnormalities lined to a severe fetal akinesia deformation sequence. Neuropathological findings suggest severe neurodegeneration leading to a marked neuronal dropout of the entire central nervous system and atrophy. Similar neuropathological findings have been described in the Neu-Laxova syndrome (NLS), an apparently different lethal malformation syndrome. Neuropathological similarities between OMIM 601160 and NLS raise the question of clinicopathological variability and genetic heterogeneity of type III lissencephaly. To answer this question, we compared our clinicopathological findings in a series of fetuses with OMIM 601160 to pathological data reported in NLS. In the study, 5 unrelated families with 7 affected fetuses were included. Interestingly, we found striking clinicopathological similarities between OMIM 601160 and NLS, which may represent a variability of a single neurodegenerative disease with early prenatal onset. Molecular studies in multiplex families defined through detailed clinicopathological screening are needed to clarify the distinction, if any, between these two entities.

Abstract
We report two sisters with a new syndrome of simplified gyral pattern, normal head circumference at birth but with subsequent development of microcephaly, intractable seizures, and early death. Dysmorphic features included coarse face, hypertrichosis, short nose, paranasal widening, long philtrum, short neck, upper limb micromelia, single transverse palmar lines, and clasp thumbs. The proband had repeated convulsions from shortly after birth and she required continuous artificial ventilation. Neurological examination showed absent sucking, rooting, Moro and grasping reflexes. MRI revealed a diffuse simplified gyral pattern with apparent agyria over the frontal lobes. Biochemical screening gave normal results. Her older sister had bilateral renal pelvic dilatation on prenatal ultrasound. She also developed severe convulsions on the first day of life, and she had to be artificially ventilated for 38 days. She had severe developmental retardation and neurological examination showed absence of spontaneous movements and Moro reflex, weak sucking reflex, and hypertonicity. CT scan of the brain showed a simplified gyral pattern. At 3 months, she developed hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia with normal levels of vitamin D and alkaline phosphatase, and parathyroid hormone level was low. Other biochemical tests gave normal results. She died at 5 months due to a massive aspiration event. Based on the unique clinical and radiological features found in our patients, we propose that this is a new syndrome.

Abstract
Neu-Laxova Syndrome (NLS) is a severe disorder with intrauterine growth retardation, edema, and characteristic face (including microcephaly with receding forehead, protuberant eyes, a flattened nose, deformed ears, cleft palate, and micrognathia). Ichthyosis is often present. Limb anomalies include hypoplastic fingers and syndactyly of fingers and toes. Patients are usually stillborn or die shortly after birth. We report five unrelated patients--four with atypical NLS and one with typical NLS. All five patients were stillbirths. Clinically, the atypical NLS patients showed a large skull; rhizo-, meso-, and acromelia; and hypoplasia of the metacarpals and phalanges. The feet were similarly affected. Radiographically, the atypical patients showed interpediculate narrowing and hypoplastic vertebral bodies. The long bones were stick-like, showing diaphyseal widening that spared the metaphyses and was more pronounced in the lower extremities. The ilia had a half-moon configuration with widening of the sacrosciatic notches. The ischia were vertical and the pubic bone was absent. The typical NLS patient showed microcephaly, normal vertebral body, and long bone ossification, but a pelvic configuration similar to that of the atypical NLS patients. The common and distinguishing clinical and radiographic features are reviewed. Scott et al. [1981: Am J Med Genet 9:165-175] described two patients with NLS with radiographic and clinical findings similar to patients 1-4 reported here. Patients 1-4 of this report lack the typical findings of NLS and likely represent a distinct lethal skeletal dysplasia.
