Long-range and real-time PCR identification of a large SERPINC1 deletion in a patient with antithrombin deficiency. Int J Hematol 2024; 120:179-185.

Abstract
Congenital antithrombin (AT) or serpin C1 deficiency, caused by a SERPINC1 abnormality, is a high-risk factor for venous thrombosis. SERPINC1 is prone to genetic rearrangement, because it contains numerous Alu elements. In this study, a Japanese patient who developed deep vein thrombosis during pregnancy and exhibited low AT activity underwent SERPINC1 gene analysis using routine methods: long-range polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time PCR. Sequencing using long-range PCR products revealed no pathological variants in SERPINC1 exons or exon-intron junctions, and all the identified variants were homozygous, suggesting a deletion in one SERPINC1 allele. Copy number quantification for each SERPINC1 exon using real-time PCR revealed half the number of exon 1 and 2 copies compared with controls. Moreover, a deletion region was deduced by quantifying the 5'-upstream region copy number of SERPINC1 for each constant region. Direct long-range PCR sequencing with primers for the 5'-end of each presumed deletion region revealed a large Alu-mediated deletion (∼13 kb) involving SERPINC1 exons 1 and 2. Thus, a large deletion was identified in SERPINC1 using conventional PCR methods.

Abstract
Inflammation orchestrates a finely balanced process crucial for microorganism elimination and tissue injury protection. A multitude of immune and non-immune cells, alongside various proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, collectively regulate this response. Central to this regulation is post-transcriptional control, governing gene expression at the mRNA level. RNA-binding proteins such as tristetraprolin, Roquin, and the Regnase family, along with RNA modifications, intricately dictate the mRNA decay of pivotal mediators and regulators in the inflammatory response. Dysregulated activity of these factors has been implicated in numerous human inflammatory diseases, underscoring the significance of post-transcriptional regulation. The increasing focus on targeting these mechanisms presents a promising therapeutic strategy for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This review offers an extensive overview of post-transcriptional regulation mechanisms during inflammatory responses, delving into recent advancements, their implications in human diseases, and the strides made in therapeutic exploitation.

Abstract
The identification of inherited antithrombin deficiency (ATD) is critical to prevent potentially life-threatening thrombotic events. Causal variants in SERPINC1 are identified for up to 70% of cases, the majority being single-nucleotide variants and indels. The detection and characterization of structural variants (SVs) in ATD remain challenging due to the high number of repetitive elements in SERPINC1. Here, we performed long-read whole-genome sequencing on 10 familial and 9 singleton cases with type I ATD proven by functional and antigen assays, who were selected from a cohort of 340 patients with this rare disorder because genetic analyses were either negative, ambiguous, or not fully characterized. We developed an analysis workflow to identify disease-associated SVs. This approach resolved, independently of its size or type, all eight SVs detected by multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification, and identified for the first time a complex rearrangement previously misclassified as a deletion. Remarkably, we identified the mechanism explaining ATD in 2 out of 11 cases with previous unknown defect: the insertion of a novel 2.4 kb SINE-VNTR-Alu retroelement, which was characterized by de novo assembly and verified by specific polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing in the probands and affected relatives. The nucleotide-level resolution achieved for all SVs allowed breakpoint analysis, which revealed repetitive elements and microhomologies supporting a common replication-based mechanism for all the SVs. Our study underscores the utility of long-read sequencing technology as a complementary method to identify, characterize, and unveil the molecular mechanism of disease-causing SVs involved in ATD, and enlarges the catalogue of genetic disorders caused by retrotransposon insertions.

Clinical conditions and risk factors for inhibitor-development in patients with haemophilia: A decade-long prospective cohort study in Japan, J-HIS2 (Japan Hemophilia Inhibitor Study 2). Haemophilia 2022; 28:745-759. [PMID: 35689832 DOI: 10.1111/hae.14602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 05/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inhibitor-development is a serious complication in patients with haemophilia (PwH). Previous studies reported that therapeutic and genetic factors could be associated with these alloantibodies. Relevant clinical features such as genetic-background and different treatment regimens in Japan remain unclear, however. AIMS To analyse a nation-wide Japanese registry for PwH, and to examine risk factors for inhibitor-development. METHODS AND RESULTS Newly diagnosed patients with haemophilia A (PwHA) or haemophilia B (PwHB) without inhibitors after 2007, and with treatment records traceable from 0 to 75 exposure days (ED), were enrolled in the Japan Hemophilia Inhibitor Study 2 (J-HIS2) initiated in 2008. Of 417 patients (340 PwHA, 77 PwHB) from 46 facilities, 83 (76 PwHA, 7 PwHB) were recorded with inhibitors by July 2020. Inhibitors were observed in 31.0% of severe PwHA, 8.0% moderate and 1.6% mild and in 17.1% of severe PwHB. The majority of inhibitors (89.7% in severe PwHA and 71.4% in severe PwHB) were detected on or before 25ED (median 12ED in PwHA and 19ED in PwHB). Genotyping in these severe patients identified an association between inhibitor-development and null variants of F8 (P < .01) or F9 (P < .05). A lower incidence of inhibitors was recorded in severe PwHA treated with prophylaxis than in those treated on-demand (P < .01). A past-history of intracranial-haemorrhage appeared to be associated with inhibitor-development, while FVIII-concentrates infusion and routine vaccination on the same day was not related to inhibitor-development. CONCLUSION The J-HIS2 study has identified significant clinical variables associated with inhibitor-development in Japanese PwH, consistent with other global studies.

Abstract
Transferrin receptor-1 (TfR1) has essential iron transport and proposed signal transduction functions. Proper TfR1 regulation is a requirement for hematopoiesis, neurological development, and the homeostasis of tissues including the intestine and muscle, while dysregulation is associated with cancers and immunodeficiency. TfR1 mRNA degradation is highly regulated, but the identity of the degradation activity remains uncertain. Here, we show with gene knockouts and siRNA knockdowns that two Roquin paralogs are major mediators of iron-regulated changes to the steady-state TfR1 mRNA level within four different cell types (HAP1, HUVEC, L-M, and MEF). Roquin is demonstrated to destabilize the TfR1 mRNA, and its activity is fully dependent on three hairpin loops within the TfR1 mRNA 3′-UTR that are essential for iron-regulated instability. We further show in L-M cells that TfR1 mRNA degradation does not require ongoing translation, consistent with Roquin-mediated instability. We conclude that Roquin is a major effector of TfR1 mRNA abundance. Roquin is a major mediator of iron-regulated TfR1 mRNA instability Roquin-mediated instability requires three stem loops within the TfR1 3′-UTR Iron-regulated TfR1 mRNA instability can occur in the absence of Regnase-1

Abstract
Hyperinflammatory syndromes are life-threatening disorders caused by overzealous immune cell activation and cytokine release, often resulting from defects in negative feedback mechanisms. In the quintessential hyperinflammatory syndrome familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), inborn errors of cytotoxicity result in effector cell accumulation, immune dysregulation and, if untreated, tissue damage and death. Here, we describe a human case with a homozygous nonsense R688* RC3H1 mutation suffering from hyperinflammation, presenting as relapsing HLH. RC3H1 encodes Roquin-1, a posttranscriptional repressor of immune-regulatory proteins such as ICOS, OX40 and TNF. Comparing the R688* variant with the murine M199R variant reveals a phenotypic resemblance, both in immune cell activation, hypercytokinemia and disease development. Mechanistically, R688* Roquin-1 fails to localize to P-bodies and interact with the CCR4-NOT deadenylation complex, impeding mRNA decay and dysregulating cytokine production. The results from this unique case suggest that impaired Roquin-1 function provokes hyperinflammation by a failure to quench immune activation. Roquin-1 is a posttranscriptional regulator that controls the expression of many immune-related genes such as ICOS and TNFA. Here, the authors report a homozygous R688* loss of function mutation in Roquin-1 in a patient with syndromic uncontrolled hyperinflammation associated with immune cell activation and hypercytokinemia.

Molecular basis of SERPINC1 mutations in Japanese patients with antithrombin deficiency. Thromb Res 2019; 178:159-170. [PMID: 31030036 DOI: 10.1016/j.thromres.2019.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2018] [Revised: 03/20/2019] [Accepted: 04/05/2019] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital antithrombin (AT) deficiency, which arises from various SERPINC1 defects, is an autosomal-dominant thrombophilic disorder associated with a high risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism. PATIENTS/METHODS We investigated SERPINC1 defects in Japanese patients with congenital AT deficiency who developed venous thromboembolism or had a family history of deep vein thrombosis. We analyzed the full DNA sequences of SERPINC1 exons and exon-intron junctions by PCR-mediated direct sequencing. If no mutation was found, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was conducted for the relative quantification of the copy number of all exons in SERPINC1. If splice-site mutations were detected, mRNA splicing abnormalities were further investigated using an in vitro cell-based exontrap assay. RESULTS We identified 19 different SERPINC1 abnormalities, including 8 novel mutations, in 21 Japanese patients with AT deficiency. These abnormalities were distributed as follows: 9 missense mutations (42.9%), 3 nonsense mutations (14.3%), 1 splice-site mutation (4.8%), 2 small insertions (9.5%), 2 deletion mutations (9.5%) and 4 large deletions (19.0%). Cases with large deletions of SERPINC1 included Alu-mediated gene rearrangements and non-Alu-mediated complex gene rearrangements; the latter could conceivably be explained using the fork stalling and template switching (FoSTeS) model. CONCLUSIONS We identified a variety of SERPINC1 defects in Japanese patients with AT deficiency. The SERPINC1 mutations detected in patients with type I AT deficiency included single nucleotide missense or nonsense mutations, small intragenic insertions or deletions, and large genomic structural deletions. Large deletions of SERPINC1 were caused by various recurrent or non-recurrent complex genomic rearrangement mutations.

Abstract
: Inherited antithrombin (AT) deficiency is an autosomal dominant thrombotic disorder. We encountered a case of inherited type I AT deficiency and identified the causative mutation; a novel c.7430A>G missense mutation in the SERPINC1 gene in which tyrosine was substituted for cysteine at the 292nd amino acid. A recombinant AT protein with the 7430A>G mutation was not detected in cell lysates or culture supernatants. And then, our patient without personal or family history of thrombosis was pregnant woman with asymptomatic AT deficiency. Our patient treated with only AT concentrate therapy during pregnancy and she was able to safely give birth naturally and avoid thrombosis. We believe that this therapy for pregnant woman with asymptomatic AT deficiency is effective and safety as anticoagulant therapy during pregnancy.

Abstract
Inherited antithrombin (AT) deficiency is an autosomal dominant thrombotic disorder. We encountered a case of inherited type I AT deficiency and identified the mutation responsible; a novel 5406delA mutation in the SERPINC1 gene appeared to have caused a frameshift with premature termination at amino acid +283. The recombinant AT protein including 5406delA was not detected in cell lysates or culture supernatants. These results will contribute to the creation of an accurate database and define the molecular basis for AT deficiency.

Abstract
Hemophilia B is an X-linked recessive bleeding disorder caused by abnormalities of the coagulation factor IX gene (F9). Insertion mutations in F9 ranging from a few to more than 100 base pairs account for only a few percent of all hemophilia B cases. We investigated F9 to elucidate genetic abnormalities causing severe hemophilia B in a Japanese subject. We performed PCR-mediated analysis of F9 and identified a large insertion in exon 6. Next, we carried out direct sequencing of a PCR clone of the whole insert using nested deletion by exonuclease III and S1 nuclease. We identified an approximately 2.5-kb SINE-VNTR-Alu (SVA)-F element flanked by 15-bp duplications in the antisense orientation in exon 6. Additionally, we carried out exontrap analysis to assess the effect of this retrotransposition on mRNA splicing. We observed that regular splicing at exons 5 and 6 of F9 was disturbed by the SVA retrotransposition, suggesting that abnormal FIX mRNA may be reduced by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. In conclusion, this is the first report of SVA retrotransposition causing severe hemophilia B; only five cases of LINE-1 or Alu retrotranspositions in F9 have been reported previously.
