Abstract
Primary cilia have versatile functions, such as receiving signals from the extracellular microenvironment, mediating signaling transduction, and transporting ciliary substances, in tissue and organ development and clinical disease pathogenesis. During early development (embryos within 10 weeks) in the oral and maxillofacial region, defects in the structure and function of primary cilia can result in severe craniofacial malformations. For example, mice with mutations in the cilia-related genes Kif3a and IFT88 exhibit midline expansion and cleft lip/palate, which occur due to abnormalities in the fusion of the single frontonasal prominence and maxillary prominences. In the subsequent development of the oral and maxillofacial region, we discussed the regulatory role of primary cilia in the development of the maxilla, mandible, Meckel cartilage, condylar cartilage, lip, tongue, and tooth, among others. Moreover, primary cilia are promising regulators in some oral and maxillofacial diseases, such as tumors and malocclusion. We also summarize the regulatory mechanisms of primary cilia in oral and maxillofacial development and related diseases, including their role in various signaling transduction pathways. For example, aplasia of submandibular glands in the Kif3a mutant mice is associated with a decrease in SHH signaling within the glands. This review summarizes the similarities and specificities of the role of primary cilia in tissue and organ development and disease progression in the oral and maxillofacial region, which is expected to contribute several ideas for the treatment of primary cilia-related diseases.

[PMID: 38671463 PMCID: PMC11046915 DOI: 10.1186/s12920-024-01880-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Syndromic ciliopathies are a group of congenital disorders characterized by broad clinical and genetic overlap, including obesity, visual problems, skeletal anomalies, mental retardation, and renal diseases. The hallmark of the pathophysiology among these disorders is defective ciliary functions or formation. Many different genes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of these diseases, but some patients still remain unclear about their genotypes. METHODS The aim of this study was to identify the genetic causes in patients with syndromic ciliopathy. Patients suspected of or meeting clinical diagnostic criteria for any type of syndromic ciliopathy were recruited at a single diagnostic medical center in Southern Taiwan. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was employed to identify their genotypes and elucidate the mutation spectrum in Taiwanese patients with syndromic ciliopathy. Clinical information was collected at the time of patient enrollment. RESULTS A total of 14 cases were molecularly diagnosed with syndromic ciliopathy. Among these cases, 10 had Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), comprising eight BBS2 patients and two BBS7 patients. Additionally, two cases were diagnosed with Alström syndrome, one with Oral-facial-digital syndrome type 14, and another with Joubert syndrome type 10. A total of 4 novel variants were identified. A recurrent splice site mutation, BBS2: c.534 + 1G > T, was present in all eight BBS2 patients, suggesting a founder effect. One BBS2 patient with homozygous c.534 + 1G > T mutations carried a third ciliopathic allele, TTC21B: c.264_267dupTAGA, a nonsense mutation resulting in a premature stop codon and protein truncation. CONCLUSIONS Whole exome sequencing (WES) assists in identifying molecular pathogenic variants in ciliopathic patients, as well as the genetic hotspot mutations in specific populations. It should be considered as the first-line genetic testing for heterogeneous disorders characterized by the involvement of multiple genes and diverse clinical manifestations.

Abstract
Hypothalamic hamartomas (HHs) are congenital developmental malformations located in the hypothalamus. They are associated with a characteristic clinical manifestation known as gelastic seizures (GS). However, the traditional understanding of HHs has been limited, resulting in insufficient treatment options and high recurrence rates of seizures after surgery. This is consistent with the network hypothesis of focal epilepsy that the epileptogenic zone is not only limited to HH but may also involve the distant cerebral cortex external to the HH mass. The epilepsy network theory, on the other hand, provides a new perspective. In this study, we aim to explore HH-related epilepsy as a network disease, challenging the conventional notion of being a focal lesional disease. We analyze various aspects of HHs, including genes and signaling pathways, local circuits, the whole-brain level, phenotypical expression in terms of seizure semiology, and comorbidities. By examining HHs through the lens of network theory, we can enhance our understanding of the condition and potentially identify novel approaches for more effective management and treatment of epilepsy associated with HHs.

Identification of cuproptosis-related gene clusters and immune cell infiltration in major burns based on machine learning models and experimental validation. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1335675. [PMID: 38410514 PMCID: PMC10894925 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1335675] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Burns are a global public health problem. Major burns can stimulate the body to enter a stress state, thereby increasing the risk of infection and adversely affecting the patient's prognosis. Recently, it has been discovered that cuproptosis, a form of cell death, is associated with various diseases. Our research aims to explore the molecular clusters associated with cuproptosis in major burns and construct predictive models. Methods We analyzed the expression and immune infiltration characteristics of cuproptosis-related factors in major burn based on the GSE37069 dataset. Using 553 samples from major burn patients, we explored the molecular clusters based on cuproptosis-related genes and their associated immune cell infiltrates. The WGCNA was utilized to identify cluster-specific genes. Subsequently, the performance of different machine learning models was compared to select the optimal model. The effectiveness of the predictive model was validated using Nomogram, calibration curves, decision curves, and an external dataset. Finally, five core genes related to cuproptosis and major burn have been was validated using RT-qPCR. Results In both major burn and normal samples, we determined the cuproptosis-related genes associated with major burns through WGCNA analysis. Through immune infiltrate profiling analysis, we found significant immune differences between different clusters. When K=2, the clustering number is the most stable. GSVA analysis shows that specific genes in cluster 2 are closely associated with various functions. After identifying the cross-core genes, machine learning models indicate that generalized linear models have better accuracy. Ultimately, a generalized linear model for five highly correlated genes was constructed, and validation with an external dataset showed an AUC of 0.982. The accuracy of the model was further verified through calibration curves, decision curves, and modal graphs. Further analysis of clinical relevance revealed that these correlated genes were closely related to time of injury. Conclusion This study has revealed the intricate relationship between cuproptosis and major burns. Research has identified 15 cuproptosis-related genes that are associated with major burn. Through a machine learning model, five core genes related to cuproptosis and major burn have been selected and validated.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Joubert syndrome (JS) arises from defects of primary cilia resulting in potential malformations of the brain, kidneys, eyes, liver, and limbs. Several of the 35+ genes associated with JS have recognized genotype/phenotype correlations, but most genes have not had enough reported individuals to draw meaningful conclusions. METHODS A PubMed literature review identified 688 individuals with JS across 32 genes and 112 publications to bolster known genotype/phenotype relationships and identify new correlations. All included patients had the "molar tooth sign" and a confirmed genetic diagnosis. Individuals were categorized by age, ethnicity, sex and the presence of developmental disability/intellectual disability, hypotonia, abnormal eye movements, ataxia, visual impairment, renal impairment, polydactyly, and liver abnormalities. RESULTS Most genes demonstrated unique phenotypic profiles. Grouping proteins based on physiologic interactions established stronger phenotypic relationships that reflect known ciliary pathophysiology. Age-stratified data demonstrated that end-organ disease is progressive in JS. Most genes demonstrated a significant skew towards having variants with either residual protein function or no residual protein function. CONCLUSION This cohort demonstrates that clinically meaningful genotype/phenotype relationships exist within most JS-related genes and can be referenced to allow for more personalized clinical care.

Abstract
Primary cilia play a significant role in influencing cell fate, including apoptosis in multiple cell types. In the lesional epidermis of vitiligo patients, a reduced number of ciliated cells was observed. Our study also revealed a downregulation of oral-facial digital syndrome type 1 (OFD1) in the affected skin of vitiligo patients. However, it remains unknown whether primary cilia are involved in the control of melanocyte apoptosis. While both intraflagellar transport 88 (IFT88) and retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator-interacting protein-1 like (RPGRIP1L) are associated with ciliogenesis in melanocytes, only the knockdown of OFD1, but not IFT88 and RPGRIP1L, resulted in increased melanocyte apoptosis. OFD1 knockdown led to a decrease in the expression of proteins involved in cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions, including paxillin. The OFD1 amino acid residues 601-1012 interacted with paxillin, while the amino acid residues 1-601 were associated with ciliogenesis, suggesting that the OFD1 domains responsible for paxillin binding are distinct from those involved in ciliogenesis. OFD1 knockdown, but not IFT88 knockdown, inhibited melanocyte adhesion to the ECM, a defect that was restored by paxillin overexpression. In summary, our findings indicate that the downregulation of OFD1 induces melanocyte apoptosis, independent of any impairment in ciliogenesis, by reducing melanocyte adhesion to the ECM via paxillin.

Abstract
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common inherited retinal disease (IRD) and is characterized by photoreceptor degeneration and progressive vision loss. We report 4 patients presenting with RP from 3 unrelated families with variants in TBC1D32, which to date has never been associated with an IRD. To validate TBC1D32 as a putative RP causative gene, we combined Xenopus in vivo approaches and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived (iPSC-derived) retinal models. Our data showed that TBC1D32 was expressed during retinal development and that it played an important role in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) differentiation. Furthermore, we identified a role for TBC1D32 in ciliogenesis of the RPE. We demonstrated elongated ciliary defects that resulted in disrupted apical tight junctions, loss of functionality (delayed retinoid cycling and altered secretion balance), and the onset of an epithelial-mesenchymal transition-like phenotype. Last, our results suggested photoreceptor differentiation defects, including connecting cilium anomalies, that resulted in impaired trafficking to the outer segment in cones and rods in TBC1D32 iPSC-derived retinal organoids. Overall, our data highlight a critical role for TBC1D32 in the retina and demonstrate that TBC1D32 mutations lead to RP. We thus identify TBC1D32 as an IRD-causative gene.

[PMID: 38097330 PMCID: PMC10746289 DOI: 10.1053/j.akdh.2023.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023]
Abstract
Polycystic kidney diseases are a group of monogenically inherited disorders characterized by cyst development in the kidney with defects in primary cilia function central to pathogenesis. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has progressive cystogenesis and accounts for 5-10% of kidney failure (KF) patients. There are two major ADPKD genes, PKD1 and PKD2, and seven minor loci. PKD1 accounts for ∼80% of patients and is associated with the most severe disease (KF is typically at 55-65 years); PKD2 accounts for ∼15% of families, with KF typically in the mid-70s. The minor genes are generally associated with milder kidney disease, but for DNAJB11 and ALG5, the age at KF is similar to PKD2. PKD1 and PKD2 have a high level of allelic heterogeneity, with no single pathogenic variant accounting for >2% of patients. Additional genetic complexity includes biallelic disease, sometimes causing very early-onset ADPKD, and mosaicism. Autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease is characterized by severe PLD but limited PKD. The two major genes are PRKCSH and SEC63, while GANAB, ALG8, and PKHD1 can present as ADPKD or autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease typically has an infantile onset, with PKHD1 being the major locus and DZIP1L and CYS1 being minor genes. In addition, there are a range of mainly recessive syndromic ciliopathies with PKD as part of the phenotype. Because of the phenotypic and genic overlap between the diseases, employing a next-generation sequencing panel containing all known PKD and ciliopathy genes is recommended for clinical testing.

CEP162 deficiency causes human retinal degeneration and reveals a dual role in ciliogenesis and neurogenesis. J Clin Invest 2023; 133:e161156. [PMID: 36862503 PMCID: PMC10104899 DOI: 10.1172/jci161156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Defects in primary or motile cilia result in a variety of human pathologies, and retinal degeneration is frequently associated with these so-called ciliopathies. We found that homozygosity for a truncating variant in CEP162, a centrosome and microtubule-associated protein required for transition zone assembly during ciliogenesis and neuronal differentiation in the retina, caused late-onset retinitis pigmentosa in 2 unrelated families. The mutant CEP162-E646R*5 protein was expressed and properly localized to the mitotic spindle, but it was missing from the basal body in primary and photoreceptor cilia. This impaired recruitment of transition zone components to the basal body and corresponded to complete loss of CEP162 function at the ciliary compartment, reflected by delayed formation of dysmorphic cilia. In contrast, shRNA knockdown of Cep162 in the developing mouse retina increased cell death, which was rescued by expression of CEP162-E646R*5, indicating that the mutant retains its role for retinal neurogenesis. Human retinal degeneration thus resulted from specific loss of the ciliary function of CEP162.

Abstract
Centrosomes are microtubule organizing centers involved in chromosome segregation, spindle orientation, cell motility and cilia formation. In recent years, they have also emerged as key modulators of asymmetric cell division. Centrosomes are composed of two centrioles that initiate duplication in S phase. The conservative nature of centriole duplication means that the two centrioles of a G1 cell are of different ages. They are also structurally different as only the older centriole carry appendages, an assembly of a subset of proteins primarily required for cilia formation. In a growing tissue, the non-motile, primary cilium acts as a mechano- and sensory organelle that influences cell behavior via modulation of signaling pathways. Here, we discuss the most recent findings about distal appendage composition and function, as well as cell cycle-specific regulation and their implications in various diseases.

Abstract
The balance of protein synthesis and degradation is finely regulated and influences cellular homeostasis and biological processes (e.g., embryonic development and neuronal plasticity). Recent data demonstrated that centrosomal/ciliary proteins enable proteome control in response to spatial or microenvironmental stimuli. Here, we discuss recent discoveries regarding the role in the balance of the proteome of centrosomal/ciliary proteins associated with genetic disorders known as ciliopathies. In particular, OFD1 was the first example of a ciliopathy protein controlling both protein expression and autophagic/proteasomal degradation. Understanding the role of proteome balance in the pathogenesis of the clinical manifestations of ciliopathies may pave the way to the identification of a wide range of putative novel therapeutic targets for these conditions.

Abstract
Human airway smooth muscle (HASM) is the primary target of ßAR agonists used to control airway hypercontractility in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). ßAR agonists induce the production of cAMP by adenylyl cyclases (ACs), activate PKA and cause bronchodilation. Several other G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) expressed in human airway smooth muscle cells transduce extracellular signals through cAMP but these receptors elicit different cellular responses. Some G-protein coupled receptors couple to distinct adenylyl cyclases isoforms with different localization, partly explaining this compartmentation, but little is known about the downstream networks that result. We used quantitative phosphoproteomics to define the downstream signaling networks emanating from cAMP produced by two adenylyl cyclases isoforms with contrasting localization in uman airway smooth muscle. After a short stimulus of adenylyl cyclases activity using forskolin, phosphopeptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS and differences between cells overexpressing AC2 (localized in non-raft membranes) or AC6 (localized in lipid raft membranes) were compared to control human airway smooth muscle. The degree of AC2 and AC6 overexpression was titrated to generate roughly equal forskolin-stimulated cAMP production. 14 Differentially phosphorylated proteins (DPPs) resulted from AC2 activity and 34 differentially phosphorylated proteins resulted from AC6 activity. Analysis of these hits with the STRING protein interaction tool showed that AC2 signaling is more associated with modifications in RNA/DNA binding proteins and microtubule/spindle body proteins while AC6 signaling is associated with proteins regulating autophagy, calcium-calmodulin (Ca2+/CaM) signaling, Rho GTPases and cytoskeletal regulation. One protein, OFD1, was regulated in opposite directions, with serine 899 phosphorylation increased in the AC6 condition 1.5-fold but decreased to 0.46-fold by AC2. In conclusion, quantitative phosphoproteomics is a powerful tool for deciphering the complex signaling networks resulting from discreet signaling events that occur in cAMP compartments. Our data show key differences in the cAMP pools generated from AC2 and AC6 activity and imply that distinct cellular responses are regulated by these two compartments.

Abstract
Orofaciodigital syndrome I (OFD1-MIM #311200) is a rare ciliopathy characterized by facial dysmorphism, oral cavity, digit, and brain malformations, and cognitive deficits. OFD1 syndrome is an X-linked dominant disorder reported mostly in females. The gene responsible for this condition, OFD1 centriole and centriolar satellite protein (OFD1), is involved in primary cilia formation and several cilia-independent biological processes. The functional and structural integrity of the cilia impacts critical brain development processes, explaining the broad range of neurodevelopmental anomalies in ciliopathy patients. As several psychiatric conditions, such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and schizophrenia, are neurodevelopmental in nature, their connections with cilia roles are worth exploring. Moreover, several cilia genes have been associated with behavioral disorders, such as autism. We report on a three-year-old girl with a complex phenotype that includes oral malformations, severe speech delay, dysmorphic features, developmental delay, autism, and bilateral periventricular nodular heterotopia, presenting a de novo pathogenic variant in the OFD1 gene. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of autistic behavior in a female patient with OFD1 syndrome. We propose that autistic behavior should be considered a potential feature of this syndrome and that active screening for early signs of autism might prove beneficial for OFD1 syndrome patients.

Abstract
Background: Joubert syndrome (JBS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder associated with progressive renal, liver, and retinal involvement that exhibits heterogeneity in both clinical manifestations and genetic etiology. Therefore, it is difficult to make a definite prenatal diagnosis. Methods: Whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were performed to screen the causative gene variants in a suspected JBS family. RNA-seq and protein model prediction were performed to clarify the potential pathogenic mechanism. A more comprehensive review of previously reported cases with OFD1 variants is presented and may help to establish a genotype-phenotype. Results: We identified a novel non-sense variant in the OFD1 gene, OFD1 (NM_003611.3): c.2848A>T (p.Lys950Ter). Sanger sequencing confirmed cosegregation among this family. RNA-seq confirmed that partial degradation of mutant transcripts, which was predicted to be caused by the non-sense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) mechanism, may explain the reduction in the proportion of mutant transcripts. Protein structure prediction of the non-sense variant transcript revealed that this variant may lead to a change in the OFD1 protein structure. Conclusion: The genetic variation spectrum of JBS10 caused by OFD1 was broadened. The novel variants further deepened our insight into the molecular mechanism of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis is a heterogeneous group of disorders, leading to intrahepatic cholestasis, with the possibility of chronic liver failure and biliary cirrhosis. Oligodontia is either the manifestation of a specific syndrome or is non-syndromic. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of type 3 progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis and concurrent oligodontia, craniosynostosis, dens in dente, taurodontism, and delayed permanent dentition in the medical and dental literature. CASE PRESENTATION We present the dental and medical histories and comprehensive dental management of a girl with type 3 progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis and several dental anomalies, who was referred to a dental clinic due to severe dental caries and pain. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that PFIC with manifestations as oligodontia, craniosynostosis, dens in dente, taurodontism, and delayed permanent dentition, might indicate an unknown syndrome; otherwise, the craniofacial anomalies are the manifestations of an independent disease coinciding with PFIC. Moreover, our case is a good example of the importance of timely medical and dental care in confining further health-related complications. The patient was able to ingest without any pain or discomfort after receiving proper dental management.

Abstract
Prenatal imaging phenotypes and genotypes were analyzed in 13 cases prenatally diagnosed with Joubert syndrome (JS), all of which underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and genetic testing. Prenatal MRI diagnosed 10 cases as JS with a typical molar tooth sign (MTS), while prenatal ultrasound diagnosed or suspiciously diagnosed 11 cases as JS with typical or mild MTS in 10 cases. Mutations in JS-related genes and other prenatal JS imaging phenotypes were identified in 10 cases, including OFD1 in two cases [cerebellar vermis (CV) absence, posterior fossa dilation, ventriculomegaly, polydactyly, malformations of cortical development (MCD), and persistent left superior vena cava], TMEM67 in two cases (CV absence, polydactyly, hyperechoic kidneys or polycystic kidneys, posterior fossa dilation, and ventriculomegaly), CC2D2A in two cases (CV absence, polydactyly, MCD, agenesis of the corpus callosum, encephalocele and hydrocephalus, ventriculomegaly, and posterior fossa dilation), RPGRIP1L in one case (CV absence), TCTN3 in one case (CV absence, polydactyly, MCD, and posterior fossa dilation), CEP290 in one case (CV absence and polycystic kidney), and NPHP1 in one case (CV absence). The prenatal diagnosis of JS presents a number of challenges, including the variants of unknown significance, the lack of functional assessment in prenatal imaging, unclear phenotype–genotype relationships in prenatal evaluation, and the incorrect identification of the JS hallmark, the MTS, in prenatal imaging, especially on ultrasound. Although combined MRI, ultrasound, and exome sequencing could help improve the prenatal diagnosis of JS, there still exist significant challenges.

Non-Invasive Detection of a De Novo Frameshift Variant of STAG2 in a Female Fetus: Escape Genes Influence the Manifestation of X-Linked Diseases in Females. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11144182.

Abstract
Background: We report on a 20-week-old female fetus with a diaphragmatic hernia and other malformations, all of which appeared after the first-trimester ultrasound. Methods and Results: Whole trio exome sequencing (WES) on cell-free fetal DNA (cff-DNA) revealed a de novo frameshift variant of the X-linked STAG2 gene. Loss-of-function (LoF) STAG2 variants cause either holoprosencephaly (HPE) or Mullegama–Klein–Martinez syndrome (MKMS), are de novo, and only affect females, indicating male lethality. In contrast, missense mutations associate with milder forms of MKMS and follow the classic X-linked recessive inheritance transmitted from healthy mothers to male offspring. STAG2 has been reported to escape X-inactivation, suggesting that disease onset in LoF females is dependent on inadequate dosing for at least some of the transcripts, as is the case with a part of the autosomal dominant diseases. Missense STAG2 variants produce a quantity of transcripts, which, while resulting in a different protein, leads to disease only in hemizygous males. Similar inheritance patterns are described for other escapee genes. Conclusions: This study confirms the advantage of WES on cff-DNA and emphasizes the role of the type of the variant in X-linked disorders.

Abstract
The OFD1 protein is necessary for the formation of primary cilia and left–right asymmetry establishment but additional functions have also been ascribed to this multitask protein. When mutated, this protein results in a variety of phenotypes ranging from multiorgan involvement, such as OFD type I (OFDI) and Joubert syndromes (JBS10), and Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), to the engagement of single tissues such as in the case of retinitis pigmentosa (RP23). The inheritance pattern of these condition differs from X‐linked dominant male‐lethal (OFDI) to X‐linked recessive (JBS10, PCD, and RP23). Distinctive biological peculiarities of the protein, which can contribute to explain the extreme clinical variability and the genetic mechanisms underlying the different disorders are discussed. The extensive spectrum of clinical manifestations observed in OFD1‐mutated patients represents a paradigmatic example of the complexity of genetic diseases. The elucidation of the mechanisms underlying this complexity will expand our comprehension of inherited disorders and will improve the clinical management of patients.
