Abstract
Hereditary cholestatic liver disease caused by a class of autosomal gene mutations results in jaundice, which involves the abnormality of the synthesis, secretion, and other disorders of bile acids metabolism. Due to the existence of a variety of gene mutations, the clinical manifestations of children are also diverse. There is no unified standard for diagnosis and single detection method, which seriously hinders the development of clinical treatment. Therefore, the mutated genes of hereditary intrahepatic cholestasis were systematically described in this review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Progressive Familial Intrahepatic cholestasis type I (PFIC1) is a rare congenital hepatopathy causing cholestasis with progressive liver disease. Surgical interruption of the enterohepatic circulation, e.g., surgical biliary diversion (SBD) can slow down development of liver cirrhosis. Eventually, end stage liver disease necessitates liver transplantation (LT). PFIC1 patients might develop diarrhea, graft steatosis and inflammation after LT. SBD after LT was shown to be effective in the alleviation of liver steatosis and graft injury. CASE REPORT Three PFIC1 patients received LT at the ages of two, two and a half and five years. Shortly after LT diarrhea and graft steatosis was recognized, SBD to the terminal ileum was opted to prevent risk for ascending cholangitis. After SBD, inflammation and steatosis was found to be reduced to resolved, as seen by liver biochemistry and ultrasounds. Diarrhea was reported unchanged. CONCLUSION We present three PFIC1 cases for whom SBD to the terminal ileum successfully helped to resolve graft inflammation and steatosis.

Acinar ATP8b1/LPC pathway promotes macrophage efferocytosis and clearance of inflammation during chronic pancreatitis development. Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:893. [PMID: 36273194 PMCID: PMC9588032 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-022-05322-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Revised: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
Noninflammatory clearance of dying cells by professional phagocytes, termed efferocytosis, is fundamental in both homeostasis and inflammatory fibrosis disease but has not been confirmed to occur in chronic pancreatitis (CP). Here, we investigated whether efferocytosis constitutes a novel regulatory target in CP and its mechanisms. PRSS1 transgenic (PRSS1Tg) mice were treated with caerulein to mimic CP development. Phospholipid metabolite profiling and epigenetic assays were performed with PRSS1Tg CP models. The potential functions of Atp8b1 in CP model were clarified using Atp8b1-overexpressing adeno-associated virus, immunofluorescence, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), and lipid metabolomic approaches. ATAC-seq combined with RNA-seq was then used to identify transcription factors binding to the Atp8b1 promoter, and ChIP-qPCR and luciferase assays were used to confirm that the identified transcription factor bound to the Atp8b1 promoter, and to identify the specific binding site. Flow cytometry was performed to analyze the proportion of pancreatic macrophages. Decreased efferocytosis with aggravated inflammation was identified in CP. The lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) pathway was the most obviously dysregulated phospholipid pathway, and LPC and Atp8b1 expression gradually decreased during CP development. H3K27me3 ChIP-seq showed that increased Atp8b1 promoter methylation led to transcriptional inhibition. Atp8b1 complementation substantially increased the LPC concentration and improved CP outcomes. Bhlha15 was identified as a transcription factor that binds to the Atp8b1 promoter and regulates phospholipid metabolism. Our study indicates that the acinar Atp8b1/LPC pathway acts as an important "find-me" signal for macrophages and plays a protective role in CP, with Atp8b1 transcription promoted by the acinar cell-specific transcription factor Bhlha15. Bhlha15, Atp8b1, and LPC could be clinically translated into valuable therapeutic targets to overcome the limitations of current CP therapies.

The Effect of Sex and Obesity on the Gene Expression of Lipid Flippases in Adipose Tissue. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11133878.

Abstract
Molecular mechanisms behind obesity and sex-related effects in adipose tissue remain elusive. During adipocyte expansion, adipocytes undergo drastic remodelling of lipid membrane compositions. Lipid flippases catalyse phospholipid translocation from exoplasmic to the cytoplasmic leaflet of membranes. The present study aimed to analyse the effect of sex, obesity, and their interactions on the gene expression of two lipid flippases—ATP8A1 and ATP8B1—and their possible microRNA (miR) modulators in visceral adipose tissue (VAT). In total, 12 normal-weight subjects (5 premenopausal women and 7 men) and 13 morbidly obese patients (7 premenopausal women and 6 men) were submitted to surgery, and VAT samples were obtained. Gene expression levels of ATP8A1, ATP8B1, miR-548b-5p, and miR-4643 were measured in VAT. Our results showed a marked influence of obesity on VAT ATP8A1 and ATP8B1, although the effects of obesity were stronger in men for ATP8A1. Both genes positively correlated with obesity and metabolic markers. Furthermore, ATP8B1 was positively associated with miR-548b-5p and negatively associated with miR-4643. Both miRs were also affected by sex. Thus, lipid flippases are altered by obesity in VAT in a sex-specific manner. Our study provides a better understanding of the sex-specific molecular mechanisms underlying obesity, which may contribute to the development of sex-based precision medicine.

Abstract
Recent evidence points towards the role of genotype to understand the phenotype, predict the natural course and long term outcome of patients with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC). Expanded role of the heterozygous transporter defects presenting late needs to be suspected and identified. Treatment of pruritus, nutritional rehabilitation, prevention of fibrosis progression and liver transplantation (LT) in those with end stage liver disease form the crux of the treatment. LT in PFIC has its own unique issues like high rates of intractable diarrhoea, growth failure; steatohepatitis and graft failure in PFIC1 and antibody-mediated bile salt export pump deficiency in PFIC2. Drugs inhibiting apical sodium-dependent bile transporter and adenovirus-associated vector mediated gene therapy hold promise for future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Mutations in ATPase phospholipid transporting 8B1 (ATP8B1) can lead to familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 (FIC1) deficiency, or progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1. The rarity of FIC1 deficiency has largely prevented a detailed analysis of its natural history, effects of predicted protein truncating mutations (PPTMs), and possible associations of serum bile acid (sBA) concentrations and surgical biliary diversion (SBD) with long-term outcome. We aimed to provide insights by using the largest genetically defined cohort of patients with FIC1 deficiency to date. APPROACH AND RESULTS This multicenter, combined retrospective and prospective study included 130 patients with compound heterozygous or homozygous predicted pathogenic ATP8B1 variants. Patients were categorized according to the number of PPTMs (i.e., splice site, frameshift due to deletion or insertion, nonsense, duplication), FIC1-A (n = 67; no PPTMs), FIC1-B (n = 29; one PPTM), or FIC1-C (n = 34; two PPTMs). Survival analysis showed an overall native liver survival (NLS) of 44% at age 18 years. NLS was comparable among FIC1-A, FIC1-B, and FIC1-C (% NLS at age 10 years: 67%, 41%, and 59%, respectively; P = 0.12), despite FIC1-C undergoing SBD less often (% SBD at age 10 years: 65%, 57%, and 45%, respectively; P = 0.03). sBAs at presentation were negatively associated with NLS (NLS at age 10 years, sBAs < 194 µmol/L: 49% vs. sBAs ≥ 194 µmol/L: 15%; P = 0.03). SBD decreased sBAs (230 [125-282] to 74 [11-177] μmol/L; P = 0.005). SBD (HR 0.55, 95% CI 0.28-1.03, P = 0.06) and post-SBD sBA concentrations < 65 μmol/L (P = 0.05) tended to be associated with improved NLS. CONCLUSIONS Less than half of patients with FIC1 deficiency reach adulthood with native liver. The number of PPTMs did not associate with the natural history or prognosis of FIC1 deficiency. sBA concentrations at initial presentation and after SBD provide limited prognostic information on long-term NLS.

Triggers of benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis and its pathophysiology: a review of literature. Acta Gastroenterol Belg 2021; 84:477-486. [PMID: 34599573 DOI: 10.51821/84.3.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) is a rare genetic disorder that is characterized by episodes of cholestasis followed by complete resolution. The episodic nature of BRIC raises concerns about its possible trigger factors. Indeed, case reports of this orphan disease have associated BRIC to some triggers. In the absence of any reviews, we reviewed BRIC trigger factors and its pathophysiology. The study consisted of a systematic search for case reports using PubMed. Articles describing a clear case of BRIC associated with a trigger were included resulting in 22 articles that describe 35 patients. Infection was responsible for 54.3% of triggered episodes, followed by hormonal, drugs, and miscellaneous causes reporting as 30%, 10%, and 5.7% respectively. Females predominated with 62.9%. The longest episode ranged between 3 months to 2 years with a mean of 32.37 weeks. The mean age of the first episode was 14.28 ranging between 3 months to 48 years. Winter and autumn were the major seasons during which episodes happened. Hence, BRIC is potentially triggered by infection, which is most commonly a viral infection, hormonal disturbances as seen in oral contraceptive pills and pregnancy state, and less commonly by certain drugs and other causes. The appearance of cholestasis during the first two trimesters of pregnancy compared to intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy could help to differentiate between the two conditions. The possible mechanism of BRIC induction implicates a role of BSEP and ATP8B1. While estrogen, drugs, and cytokines are known to affect BSEP, less is known about their action on ATP8B1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The majority of unexplained respiratory distress syndrome (URDS) cases in late preterm and term infants are caused by genetic abnormalities, with the most common of these being ABCA3 gene mutation. At present, it is unclear to neonatologists whether URDS patients with ABCA3 mutation have similar or more challenging clinical profiles to those without any defined genetic abnormalities. Our study aimed to answer this question by comparing the clinical characteristics of severe URDS patients with homozygous or compound heterozygous ABCA3 mutations, a single ABCA3 mutation, or no defined genetic abnormalities. METHODS This retrospective cohort study involved 39 late preterm and term infants with URDS underwent a clinical exome sequencing at a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit between January 2013 and December 2019. Based on the sequencing result, the study subjects were classified into the homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations, single ABCA3 mutation, or no defined genetic abnormalities groups. The major outcomes, including mortality, the age of symptom onset and development of severe RDS, and the radiological score, were compared between the groups. RESULTS A novel splicing site (c.3862+1G>C) was identified in one twin with homozygous expression. Patients with homozygous or compound heterozygous ABCA3 mutations exhibited symptom onset and development of severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) earlier than those with a single mutation or no genetic abnormalities (P<0.05). These patients also had higher mortality rates than those without genetic abnormalities (P=0.029). The total radiological scores were 51.14±4.91, 44.20±6.54, 35.91±4.42 for patients with homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations, a single mutation, and a wild-type gene, respectively, with significant differences between the groups observed by pairwise comparison (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Late preterm or term infants with URDS due to homozygous or compound heterozygous ABCA3 mutations exhibited more challenging clinical profiles than those without genetic abnormalities. However, whether this relationship exists between patients with a single ABCA3 mutation and those without genetic abnormalities warrants further study.

Abstract
The liver is beyond any doubt the most important metabolic organ of the human body. This function requires an intensive crosstalk within liver cellular structures, but also with other organs. Membrane transport proteins are therefore of upmost importance as they represent the sensors and mediators that shuttle signals from outside to the inside of liver cells and/or vice versa. In this review, we summarize the known literature of liver transport proteins with a clear emphasis on functional and structural information on ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which are expressed in the human liver. These primary active membrane transporters form one of the largest families of membrane proteins. In the liver, they play an essential role in for example bile formation or xenobiotic export. Our review provides a state of the art and comprehensive summary of the current knowledge of hepatobiliary ABC transporters. Clearly, our knowledge has improved with a breath-taking speed over the last few years and will expand further. Thus, this review will provide the status quo and will lay the foundation for new and exciting avenues in liver membrane transporter research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS ABCB11 deficiency presenting in infancy is believed generally to manifest as persistent/progressive cholestasis. We describe a group of patients with biallelic ABCB11 variants whose disorder manifested as transient neonatal cholestasis (TNC). METHODS Neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis in 68 children (31 males) with biallelic predictedly pathogenic variants (PPV) in ABCB11 was classified as transient (TNC group, n = 23, 11 males), intermittent (benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis [BRIC] group, n = 3, 1 male) or persistent/ progressive (progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis [PFIC] group, n = 42, 19 males). Clinical, genetic and bile salt export pump (BSEP) expression information was correlated with outcomes. RESULTS The median onset age of jaundice was 3 days (birth to 2 months) for the TNC group and 10.5 days (birth to 3 months) for the PFIC group (P = .034). The median length of follow-up of TNC patients was 44 months (12 months-168 months). At presentation, hepatobiliary-injury biomarker values were similar between the groups (P > .05). TNC patients (17/23) more often than PFIC patients (20/42, P = .041) harboured biallelic non-null variants (predicted not to terminate translation prematurely). TNC patient livers (7/7) more often than PFIC patient livers (5/16, P = .005) expressed immunohistochemically detectable BSEP. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed better prognosis for patients with BSEP expression (P = .009). Too few BRIC patients were available for statistical study. CONCLUSIONS Neonatal cholestasis associated with biallelic PPV in ABCB11 can resolve temporarily or persistently in one third of cases. Resolution is more likely in patients with biallelic non-null PPV or with liver BSEP expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic defects account for a substantial proportion of pediatric cholestasis. This study explored the molecular findings in a large cohort of Chinese patients with inherited cholestasis. METHODS Between January 2012 and June 2016, 809 Chinese pediatric patients with suspected inherited intrahepatic cholestasis were evaluated by Sanger sequencing and/or panel sequencing. RESULTS Of the 809 patients, 273 (33.7%) obtained a genetic diagnosis. The rate of positive genetic diagnosis in patients with disease onset at 0-3 month of age was higher than that in patients with disease onset at 4 month of age or later. There were 17 distinct genetic defects diagnosed. The top 4 resulted from mutations in SLC25A13 (44.3%), JAG1 (24.5%), ABCB11 (11.0%), and ATP8B1 (5.9%). All 17 genetic disorders were diagnosed in patients with disease onset at 0-3 months of age; but only 5 were diagnosed in patients with disease onset beyond 4 months of age. A total of 217 distinct pathogenic variants, including 41 novel variants, were identified. Ten recurrent mutations were detected in SLC25A13, ATP8B1, and CYP27A1. They accounted for 48.2% of the total 477 mutant alleles. CONCLUSIONS There were 17 distinct genetic disorders diagnosed in Chinese pediatric patients with inherited cholestasis.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to analyze the pathogenicity of rare/novel synonymous or intronic variants identified in ABCB11 heterozygotes presenting as progressive intrahepatic cholestasis with low γ-glutamyltransferase. METHODS The enrolled variants were identified in ABCB11 between October 2009 and June 2016. The effects on pre-RNA splicing were analyzed by in silico tools and minigene splicing assay. RESULTS There were three intronic (c.908 + 5G > A, c.2815-8A > G, and c.612-15_-6del10bp) and two synonymous (c.1809G > A, p.K603 K and c.2418C > T, p.G806G) variants with unknown significance identified in ABCB11 of five ABCB11 heterozygotes. Parental studies were carried out for four patients, and revealed that the variants with unknown significance were compound heterozygous with other pathogenic variants. The five variants with unknown significance had minor allele frequency <0.1% or were absent from controls, and had positive prediction results by in silico tools. The effects on pre-RNA splicing were further confirmed by minigene splicing assay. c.908 + 5A caused abnormal splicing in at least 78.5 ± 3.8% of products using a cryptic splice site (ss) 22 nucleotides (nt) upstream of the wild-type (WT) 5'ss. Seven nucleotides of intron 22 upstream of the WT 3'ss was retained for all products from c.2815-8G. c.612-15_-6del caused exon 8 skipping in 24.8 ± 7.7% of products, and 55 nt of exon 8 downstream of the WT 3'ss removal in remaining products. c.1809A led to exon 15 skipping. c.2418 T removed exon 20 and 62 nt of exon 21 downstream of the WT 3'ss by using a cryptic ss. CONCLUSIONS We successfully identified five pathogenic synonymous or intronic variants with some common features. These features might help to choose the right variant for further functional assay.

Abstract
Background and Aims Genetic defects in ATP8B1 or ABCB11 account for the majority of cholestasis with low GGT. But the ranges for GGT in patients with ATP8B1 or ABCB11 deficiency are unclear. This study tried to unravel the features of GGT in these patients that improve diagnostic efficiency. Methods This study enrolled 207 patients with chronic cholestasis who were ordered to test for ATP8B1 and/or ABCB11 from January 2012 to December 2015. Additional 17 patients with ATPB81 or ABCB11 deficiency diagnosed between January 2004 and December 2011 were also enrolled in this study. 600 population-matched children served as controls. Clinical data were obtained by retrospectively reviewing medical records. Results A total of 26 patients were diagnosed with ATP8B1 deficiency and 30 patients were diagnosed with ABCB11 deficiency. GGT levels were similar between the two disorders at any observed month of age, but varied with age. The peak GGT value was <70U/L in the 2nd~6th month of life, <60U/L in the 7th~12th month and <50U/L beyond one year. GGT levels in patients with a genetic diagnosis were different from that in patients without a genetic diagnosis and controls. Larger ranges for GGT were found in patients without a genetic diagnosis. Some controls had GGT≥70U/L in the 2nd~6th month. Of the 207 patients, 39 (18.8%) obtained a genetic diagnosis. 111 patients met the ranges described above, including all the 39 patients with ATP8B1 or ABCB11 deficiency. The sensitivity was 100.0%. The rate of a positive molecular diagnosis increased to 35.1% (39/111 vs. 39/207, X2 = 10.363, P = 0.001). The remaining 96 patients exceeded the ranges described above and failed to receive a genetic diagnosis. These patients accounted for 43.8% of sequencing cost. Conclusions GGT levels in patients with ATP8B1 or ABCB11 deficiency varied with age. The peak GGT value was <70U/L in the 2nd~6th month of life, <60U/L in the 7th~12th month and <50U/L beyond one year.
