Abstract
AIMS Patients with mutations in ATP8B1 develop progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 [PFIC1], a severe liver disease that requires life-saving liver transplantation. PFIC1 patients also present with gastrointestinal problems, including intestinal inflammation and diarrhoea, which are aggravated after liver transplantation. Here we investigate the intestinal function of ATP8B1 in relation to inflammatory bowel diseases. METHODS ATP8B1 expression was investigated in intestinal samples of patients with Crohn's disease [CD] or ulcerative colitis [UC] as well as in murine models of intestinal inflammation. Colitis was induced in ATP8B1-deficient mice with dextran sodium sulphate [DSS] and intestinal permeability was investigated. Epithelial barrier function was assessed in ATP8B1 knockdown Caco2-BBE cells. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments were performed in Caco2-BBE cells overexpressing ATP8B1-eGFP. Expression and localization of ATP8B1 and tight junction proteins were investigated in cells and in biopsies of UC and PFIC1 patients. RESULTS ATP8B1 expression was decreased in UC and DSS-treated mice, and was associated with a decreased tight junctional pathway transcriptional programme. ATP8B1-deficient mice were extremely sensitive to DSS-induced colitis, as evidenced by increased intestinal barrier leakage. ATP8B1 knockdown cells showed delayed barrier establishment that affected Claudin-4 [CLDN4] levels and localization. CLDN4 immunohistochemistry showed a tight junctional staining in control tissue, whereas in UC and intestinal PFIC1 samples, CLDN4 was not properly localized. CONCLUSION ATP8B1 is important in the establishment of the intestinal barrier. Downregulation of ATP8B1 levels in UC, and subsequent altered localization of tight junctional proteins, including CLDN4, might therefore be an important mechanism in UC pathophysiology.

Abstract
Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3) is a severe rare liver disease that affects between 1/50,000 and 1/100,000 children. In physiological conditions, bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, and then it flows to the small intestine to play its role in fat digestion. To prevent tissue damage, bile acids (BAs) are kept in phospholipid micelles. Mutations in phosphatidyl choline transporter ABCB4 (MDR3) lead to intrahepatic accumulation of free BAs that result in liver damage. PFIC3 onset usually occurs at early ages, progresses rapidly, and the prognosis is poor. Currently, besides the palliative use of ursodeoxycholate, the only available treatment for this disease is liver transplantation, which is really challenging for short-aged patients. To gain insight into the pathogenesis of PFIC3 we have performed an integrated proteomics and phosphoproteomics study in human liver samples to then validate the emerging functional hypotheses in a PFIC3 murine model. We identified 6246 protein groups, 324 proteins among them showing differential expression between control and PFIC3. The phosphoproteomic analysis allowed the identification of 5090 phosphopeptides, from which 215 corresponding to 157 protein groups, were differentially phosphorylated in PFIC3, including MDR3. Regulation of essential cellular processes and structures, such as inflammation, metabolic reprogramming, cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix remodeling, and cell proliferation, were identified as the main drivers of the disease. Our results provide a strong molecular background that significantly contributes to a better understanding of PFIC3 and provides new concepts that might prove useful in the clinical management of patients.

Abstract
P4-ATPases flip lipids from the exoplasmic to cytoplasmic leaflet of cell membranes, a property crucial for many biological processes. Mutations in P4-ATPases are associated with severe inherited and complex human disorders. We determined the expression, localization and ATPase activity of four variants of ATP8A2, the P4-ATPase associated with the neurodevelopmental disorder known as cerebellar ataxia, impaired intellectual development and disequilibrium syndrome 4 (CAMRQ4). Two variants, G447R and A772P, harboring mutations in catalytic domains, expressed at low levels and mislocalized in cells. In contrast, the E459Q variant in a flexible loop displayed wild-type expression levels, Golgi-endosome localization and ATPase activity. The R1147W variant expressed at 50% of wild-type levels but showed normal localization and activity. These results indicate that the G447R and A772P mutations cause CAMRQ4 through protein misfolding. The E459Q mutation is unlikely to be causative, whereas the R1147W may display a milder disease phenotype. Using various programs that predict protein stability, we show that there is a good correlation between the experimental expression of the variants and in silico stability assessments, suggesting that such analysis is useful in identifying protein misfolding disease-associated variants.

Abstract
The cryo-EM resolution revolution has heralded a new era in our understanding of eukaryotic lipid flippases with a rapidly growing number of high-resolution structures. Flippases belong to the P4 family of ATPases (type IV P-type ATPases) that largely follow the reaction cycle proposed for the more extensively studied cation-transporting P-type ATPases. However, unlike the canonical P-type ATPases, no flippase cargos are transported in the phosphorylation half-reaction. Instead of being released into the intracellular or extracellular milieu, lipid cargos are transported to their destination at the inner leaflet of the membrane. Recent flippase structures have revealed multiple conformational states during the lipid transport cycle. Nonetheless, critical conformational states capturing the lipid cargo "in transit" are still missing. In this review, we highlight the amazing structural advances of these lipid transporters, discuss various perspectives on catalytic and regulatory mechanisms in the literature, and shed light on future directions in further deciphering the detailed molecular mechanisms of lipid flipping.

Abstract
Inborn errors of bile acid metabolism (IEBAM) cause cholestasis during the neonatal period, and 8 types of IEBAM have been reported to date. IEBAM accounts for approximately 2% of cases of cholestasis of unknown cause. As only 10 patients have been identified in Japan, IEBAM presents diagnostic challenges due to the similarity of clinical symptoms with biliary atresia, thus necessitating precise differentiation to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures. Laboratory tests in IEBAM are characterized by normal γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and serum total bile acid (STBA) levels despite the presence of cholestasis; therefore, measuring STBA and GGT is essential to distinguishing biliary atresia from IEBAM. With suspected IEBAM, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis of urinary bile acids is needed to optimize diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy and avoid open cholangiography and initiate treatment for primary bile acids such as cholic acid or chenodeoxycholic acid. This prospective report aims to increase awareness of IEBAM by highlighting the characteristics of general blood test and bile acid profiles from LC/MS analyses of blood, urine, and stool samples.

Abstract
Type IV P-type ATPases (P4-ATPases) are a family of transmembrane enzymes that translocate lipid substrates from the outer to the inner leaflet of biological membranes and thus create an asymmetrical distribution of lipids within membranes. On the cellular level, this asymmetry is essential for maintaining the integrity and functionality of biological membranes, creating platforms for signaling events and facilitating vesicular trafficking. On the organismal level, this asymmetry has been shown to be important in maintaining blood homeostasis, liver metabolism, neural development, and the immune response. Indeed, dysregulation of P4-ATPases has been linked to several diseases; including anemia, cholestasis, neurological disease, and several cancers. This review will discuss the evolutionary transition of P4-ATPases from cation pumps to lipid flippases, the new lipid substrates that have been discovered, the significant advances that have been achieved in recent years regarding the structural mechanisms underlying the recognition and flipping of specific lipids across biological membranes, and the consequences of P4-ATPase dysfunction on cellular and physiological functions. Additionally, we emphasize the requirement for additional research to comprehensively understand the involvement of flippases in cellular physiology and disease and to explore their potential as targets for therapeutics in treating a variety of illnesses. The discussion in this review will primarily focus on the budding yeast, C. elegans, and mammalian P4-ATPases.

Abstract
Lipid transport is an essential cellular process with importance to human health, disease development, and therapeutic strategies. Type IV P-type ATPases (P4-ATPases) have been identified as membrane lipid flippases by utilizing nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD)-labeled lipids as substrates. Among the 14 human type IV P-type ATPases, ATP10D was shown to flip NBD-glucosylceramide (GlcCer) across the plasma membrane. Here, we found that conversion of incorporated GlcCer (d18:1/12:0) to other sphingolipids is accelerated in cells exogenously expressing ATP10D but not its ATPase-deficient mutant. These findings suggest that 1) ATP10D flips unmodified GlcCer as well as NBD-GlcCer at the plasma membrane and 2) ATP10D can translocate extracellular GlcCer, which is subsequently converted to other metabolites. Notably, exogenous expression of ATP10D led to the reduction in cellular hexosylceramide levels. Moreover, the expression of GlcCer flippases, including ATP10D, also reduced cellular hexosylceramide levels in fibroblasts derived from patients with Gaucher disease, which is a lysosomal storage disorder with excess GlcCer accumulation. Our study highlights the contribution of ATP10D to the regulation of cellular GlcCer levels and maintaining lipid homeostasis.

Abstract
Pathogenic ATP10B variants have been described in patients with Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy body disease, and we previously established ATP10B as a late endo-/lysosomal lipid flippase transporting both phosphatidylcholine (PC) and glucosylceramide (GluCer) from the lysosomal exoplasmic to cytoplasmic membrane leaflet. Since several other lipid flippases regulate cellular lipid uptake, we here examined whether also ATP10B impacts cellular lipid uptake. Transient co-expression of ATP10B with its obligatory subunit CDC50A stimulated the uptake of fluorescently (NBD-) labeled PC in HeLa cells. This uptake is dependent on the transport function of ATP10B, is impaired by disease-associated variants and appears specific for NBD-PC. Uptake of non-ATP10B substrates, such as NBD-sphingomyelin or NBD-phosphatidylethanolamine is not increased. Remarkably, in stable cell lines co-expressing ATP10B/CDC50A we only observed increased NBD-PC uptake following treatment with rotenone, a mitochondrial complex I inhibitor that induces transport-dependent ATP10B phenotypes. Conversely, Im95m and WM-115 cells with endogenous ATP10B expression, present a decreased NBD-PC uptake following ATP10B knockdown, an effect that is exacerbated under rotenone stress. Our data show that the endo-/lysosomal lipid flippase ATP10B contributes to cellular PC uptake under specific cell stress conditions.

Abstract
Children with Alagille syndrome and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) experience debilitating pruritus, for which there have been few effective treatment options. In the past 2 years, the ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT) inhibitors maralixibat and odevixibat have been approved for the management of cholestatic pruritus in these individuals, representing an important step forward in improving their quality of life. Emerging data suggest these drugs might also improve event-free survival, therefore potentially altering the typical disease course currently seen in these disorders. This Review will discuss how genetic advances have clarified the molecular basis of cholestatic disorders, facilitating the development of new therapeutic options that have only been evaluated in children. We focus specifically on the newly licensed IBAT inhibitors for patients with Alagille syndrome and PFIC and explore the next steps for these drugs in relation to other paediatric and adult cholestatic disorders, recognising that they have the potential to benefit a wider group of patients with gastrointestinal and liver disease.

Abstract
P4-ATPases, also known as flippases, translocate specific lipids from the exoplasmic leaflet to the cytoplasmic leaflet of biological membranes, thereby generating an asymmetric lipid distribution essential for numerous cellular functions. A debated issue is which pathway within the protein the lipid substrate follows during the translocation. Here we present a comprehensive mutational screening of all amino acid residues in the transmembrane segments M1, M2, M3, and M4 of the flippase ATP8A2, thus allowing the functionally important residues in these transmembrane segments to be highlighted on a background of less important residues. Kinetic analysis of ATPase activity of 130 new ATP8A2 mutants, providing Vmax values as well as apparent affinities of the mutants for the lipid substrate, support a translocation pathway between M2 and M4 ("M2-M4 path"), extending from the entry site, where the lipid substrate binds from the exoplasmic leaflet, to a putative exit site at the cytoplasmic surface, formed by the divergence of M2 and M4. The effects of mutations in the M2-M4 path on the function of the entry site, including loss of lipid specificity in some mutants, suggest that the M2-M4 path and the entry site are conformationally coupled. Many of the residues of the M2-M4 path possess side chains with a potential for interacting with each other in a zipper-like mode, as well as with the head group of the lipid substrate, by ionic/hydrogen bonds. Thus, the translocation of the lipid substrate toward the cytoplasmic bilayer leaflet is comparable to unzipping a zipper of salt bridges/hydrogen bonds.

Intestinal Atp8b1 dysfunction causes hepatic choline deficiency and steatohepatitis. Nat Commun 2023; 14:6763. [PMID: 37990006 PMCID: PMC10663612 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-42424-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Choline is an essential nutrient, and its deficiency causes steatohepatitis. Dietary phosphatidylcholine (PC) is digested into lysoPC (LPC), glycerophosphocholine, and choline in the intestinal lumen and is the primary source of systemic choline. However, the major PC metabolites absorbed in the intestinal tract remain unidentified. ATP8B1 is a P4-ATPase phospholipid flippase expressed in the apical membrane of the epithelium. Here, we use intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)-specific Atp8b1-knockout (Atp8b1IEC-KO) mice. These mice progress to steatohepatitis by 4 weeks. Metabolomic analysis and cell-based assays show that loss of Atp8b1 in IEC causes LPC malabsorption and thereby hepatic choline deficiency. Feeding choline-supplemented diets to lactating mice achieves complete recovery from steatohepatitis in Atp8b1IEC-KO mice. Analysis of samples from pediatric patients with ATP8B1 deficiency suggests its translational potential. This study indicates that Atp8b1 regulates hepatic choline levels through intestinal LPC absorption, encouraging the evaluation of choline supplementation therapy for steatohepatitis caused by ATP8B1 dysfunction.

Abstract
Asymmetric distribution of phospholipids in eukaryotic membranes is essential for cell integrity, signaling pathways, and vesicular trafficking. P4-ATPases, also known as flippases, participate in creating and maintaining this asymmetry through active transport of phospholipids from the exoplasmic to the cytosolic leaflet. Here, we present a total of nine cryo-electron microscopy structures of the human flippase ATP8B1-CDC50A complex at 2.4 to 3.1 Å overall resolution, along with functional and computational studies, addressing the autophosphorylation steps from ATP, substrate recognition and occlusion, as well as a phosphoinositide binding site. We find that the P4-ATPase transport site is occupied by water upon phosphorylation from ATP. Additionally, we identify two different autoinhibited states, a closed and an outward-open conformation. Furthermore, we identify and characterize the PI(3,4,5)P3 binding site of ATP8B1 in an electropositive pocket between transmembrane segments 5, 7, 8, and 10. Our study also highlights the structural basis of a broad lipid specificity of ATP8B1 and adds phosphatidylinositol as a transport substrate for ATP8B1. We report a critical role of the sn-2 ester bond of glycerophospholipids in substrate recognition by ATP8B1 through conserved S403. These findings provide fundamental insights into ATP8B1 catalytic cycle and regulation, and substrate recognition in P4-ATPases.

Management and outcomes after liver transplantation for progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Hepatol Commun 2023; 7:e0286. [PMID: 37756114 PMCID: PMC10531212 DOI: 10.1097/hc9.0000000000000286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a heterogeneous rare congenital cholestatic liver disease. Disease progression might necessitate liver transplantation (LT). The aim of this study was to describe the outcome of PFIC1-4 patients after LT. METHODS Electronic databases were searched to identify studies on PFIC and LT. Patients were categorized according to PFIC type, genotype, graft type, age at LT, time of follow-up, and complications and treatment during follow-up. RESULTS Seventy-nine studies with 507 patients met inclusion criteria; most patients were classified as PFIC1-3. The median age at LT was 50 months. The overall 5-year patient survival was 98.5%. PFIC1 patients with diarrhea after LT were at significant risk of developing graft steatosis ( p < 0.0001). Meta-analysis showed an efficacy of 100% [95% CI: 73.9%-100%] for surgical biliary diversion to ameliorate steatosis and 94.9% [95% CI: 53.7%-100%] to improve diarrhea (n = 8). PFIC2 patients with bile salt export pump (BSEP)2 or BSEP3-genotype were at significant risk of developing antibody-induced BSEP deficiency (AIBD) ( p < 0.0001), which was reported in 16.2% of patients at a median of 36.5 months after LT. Meta-analysis showed an efficacy of 81.1% [95% CI: 47.5%-100%] for rituximab-based treatment regimens to improve AIBD (n = 18). HCC was detected in 3.6% of PFIC2 and 13.8% of PFIC4 patients at LT. CONCLUSIONS Fifty percent of PFIC1 patients develop diarrhea and steatosis after LT. Biliary diversion can protect the graft from injury. PFIC2 patients with BSEP2 and BSEP3 genotypes are at significant risk of developing AIBD, and rituximab-based treatment regimens effectively improve AIBD. PFIC3 patients have no PFIC-specific complications following LT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine how advanced genetic analysis methods may help in clinical diagnosis. STUDY DESIGN We report a combined genetic diagnosis approach for patients with clinical suspicion of genetic liver diseases in a tertiary referral center, using tools either tier 1: Sanger sequencing on SLC2SA13, ATP8B1, ABCB11, ABCB4, and JAG1 genes, tier 2: panel-based next generation sequencing (NGS), or tier 3: whole-exome sequencing (WES) analysis. RESULTS In a total of 374 patients undergoing genetic analysis, 175 patients received tier 1 Sanger sequencing based on phenotypic suspicion, and pathogenic variants were identified in 38 patients (21.7%). Tier 2 included 216 patients (39 of tier 1-negative patients) who received panel-based NGS, and pathogenic variants were identified in 60 (27.8%). In tier 3, 41 patients received WES analysis, and 20 (48.8%) obtained genetic diagnosis. Pathogenic variants were detected in 6 of 19 (31.6%) who tested negative in tier 2, and a greater detection rate in 14 of 22 (63.6%) patients with deteriorating/multiorgan disease receiving one-step WES (P = .041). The overall disease spectrum is comprised of 35 genetic defects; 90% of genes belong to the functional categories of small molecule metabolism, ciliopathy, bile duct development, and membrane transport. Only 13 (37%) genetic diseases were detected in more than 2 families. A hypothetical approach using a small panel-based NGS can serve as the first tier with diagnostic yield of 27.8% (98/352). CONCLUSIONS NGS based genetic test using a combined panel-WES approach is efficient for the diagnosis of the highly diverse genetic liver diseases.

Atp8a1 deletion increases the proliferative activity of hematopoietic stem cells by impairing PTEN function. Cell Oncol (Dordr) 2023:10.1007/s13402-023-00797-7.

Abstract
PURPOSE The eukaryotic cell plasma membrane contains several asymmetrically distributed phospholipids, which is maintained by the P4-ATPase flippase complex. Herein, we demonstrated the biological effects and mechanisms of asymmetrical loss in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). METHODS An Atp8a1 knockout mouse model was employed, from which the HSC (long-term HSCs and short-term HSCs) population was analyzed to assess their abundance and function. Additionally, competitive bone marrow transplantation and 5-FU stress assays were performed. RNA sequencing was performed on Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells, and DNA damage was assayed using immunofluorescence staining and comet electrophoresis. The protein abundance for members of key signaling pathways was confirmed using western blotting. RESULTS Atp8a1 deletion resulted in slight hyperleukocytosis, associated with the high proliferation of HSCs and BCR/ABL1 transformed leukemia stem cells (LSCs). Atp8a1 deletion increased the repopulation capability of HSCs with a competitive advantage in reconstitution assay. HSCs without Atp8a1 were more sensitive to 5-FU-induced apoptosis. Moreover, Atp8a1 deletion prevented HSC DNA damage and facilitated DNA repair processes. Genes involved in PI3K-AKT-mTORC1, DNA repair, and AP-1 complex signaling were enriched and elevated in HSCs with Atp8a1 deletion. Furthermore, Atp8a1 deletion caused decreased PTEN protein levels, resulting in the activation of PI3K-AKT-mTORC1 signaling, further increasing the activity of JNK/AP-1 signaling and YAP1 phosphorylation. CONCLUSION We identified the role of Atp8a1 on hematopoiesis and HSCs. Atp8a1 deletion resulted in the loss of phosphatidylserine asymmetry and intracellular signal transduction chaos.

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.

Abstract
ATP8B1 is a phospholipid flippase and member of the type 4 subfamily of P-type ATPases (P4-ATPase) subfamily. P4-ATPases catalyze the translocation of phospholipids across biological membranes, ensuring proper membrane asymmetry, which is crucial for membrane protein targeting and activity, vesicle biogenesis, and barrier function. Here we have investigated the role of ATP8B1 in the endolysosomal pathway in macrophages. Depletion of ATP8B1 led to delayed degradation of content in the phagocytic pathway and in overacidification of the endolysosomal system. Furthermore, ATP8B1 knockdown cells exhibited large multivesicular bodies filled with intraluminal vesicles. Similar phenotypes were observed in CRISPR-generated ATP8B1 knockout cells. Importantly, induction of autophagy led to accumulation of autophagosomes in ATP8B1 knockdown cells. Collectively, our results support a novel role for ATP8B1 in lysosomal fusion in macrophages, a process crucial in the terminal phase of endolysosomal degradation.

Abstract
Candida albicans is a common cause of human mucosal yeast infections, and invasive candidiasis can be fatal. Antifungal medications are limited, but those targeting the pathogen cell wall or plasma membrane have been effective. Therefore, virulence factors controlling membrane biogenesis are potential targets for drug development. P4-ATPases contribute to membrane biogenesis by selecting and transporting specific lipids from the extracellular leaflet to the cytoplasmic leaflet of the bilayer to generate lipid asymmetry. A subset of heterodimeric P4-ATPases, including Dnf1-Lem3 and Dnf2-Lem3 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, transport phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and the sphingolipid glucosylceramide (GlcCer). GlcCer is a critical lipid for Candida albicans polarized growth and virulence, but the role of GlcCer transporters in virulence has not been explored. Here, we show that the Candida albicans Dnf2 (CaDnf2) requires association with CaLem3 to form a functional transporter and flip fluorescent derivatives of GlcCer, PC, and PE across the plasma membrane. Mutation of conserved substrate-selective residues in the membrane domain strongly abrogates GlcCer transport and partially disrupts PC transport by CaDnf2. Candida strains harboring dnf2-null alleles (dnf2ΔΔ) or point mutations that disrupt substrate recognition exhibit defects in yeast-to-hypha growth transition, filamentous growth, and virulence in systemically infected mice. The influence of CaDNF1 deletion on the morphological phenotypes is negligible, although the dnf1ΔΔ dnf2ΔΔ strain was less virulent than the dnf2ΔΔ strain. These results indicate that the transport of GlcCer and/or PC by plasma membrane P4-ATPases is important for the pathogenicity of Candida albicans.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) refers to a group of heterogeneous, mostly autosomal recessive disorders resulting from the inability to properly form and excrete bile from hepatocytes. The resulting shared phenotype is one of hepatocellular cholestasis. Clinical management targeting refractory itch and surgical interventions to interrupt the enterohepatic circulation are often pursued with variable efficacy. Recent development of the family of IBAT inhibitor therapeutics has introduced a novel tool in the armamentarium for the treatment of PFIC. AREAS COVERED Data from Phase 3 and 3 clinical trials were reviewed. The primary endpoints in most studies included effect on pruritus, serum bile acid levels, and quality of life metrics, with the duration of the study ranging between 24 and 72 weeks. Most common adverse events included diarrhea, vomiting, and elevation in transaminases. EXPERT OPINION IBAT inhibition with therapeutics such as odevibixat have shown that it is well-tolerated and efficacious in mitigating itch and reducing serum bile acid levels. While the few early published trials with odevixibat have shown good efficacy, what remains to be seen is long-term, sustainable improvement and if or how these medications will supplement or replace the current medical and surgical therapies available for managing PFIC disorders.

Gómez-Mellado VE, Chang JC, Ho-Mok KS, Bernardino Morcillo C, Kersten RHJ, Oude Elferink RPJ, Verhoeven AJ, Paulusma CC. ATP8B1 Deficiency Results in Elevated Mitochondrial Phosphatidylethanolamine Levels and Increased Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation in Human Hepatoma Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232012344. [PMID: 36293199 PMCID: PMC9604224 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232012344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
ATP8B1 is a phospholipid flippase that is deficient in patients with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 (PFIC1). PFIC1 patients suffer from severe liver disease but also present with dyslipidemia, including low plasma cholesterol, of yet unknown etiology. Here we show that ATP8B1 knockdown in HepG2 cells leads to a strong increase in the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) without a change in glycolysis. The enhanced OXPHOS coincides with elevated low-density lipoprotein receptor protein and increased mitochondrial fragmentation and phosphatidylethanolamine levels. Furthermore, expression of phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of mitochondrial-derived phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine, was reduced in ATP8B1 knockdown cells. We conclude that ATP8B1 deficiency results in elevated mitochondrial PE levels that stimulate mitochondrial OXPHOS. The increased OXPHOS leads to elevated LDLR levels, which provides a possible explanation for the reduced plasma cholesterol levels in PFIC1 disease.

Abstract
Variants in ATP8B1, ABCB11, and ABCB4 underlie the most prevalent forms of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis. We aim to describe variants in these genes in a cohort of patients with adult‐onset liver disease, and explore a genotype–phenotype correlation. Patients with onset of liver disease aged above 18 who underwent sequencing of cholestasis genes for clinical purposes over a 5‐year period were identified. Bioinformatic analysis of variants was performed. Liver histology was evaluated in patients with variants. Of the 356 patients tested, at least one variant was identified in 101 (28.4%): 46 ABCB4, 35 ABCB11, and 28 ATP8B1. Patients with ABCB4 variants had chronic liver disease (71.7%) and pregnancy‐associated liver dysfunction (75%), with a younger age of onset in more severe genotypes (p = 0.046). ABCB11 variants presented with pregnancy‐associated liver dysfunction (82.4%) and acute/episodic cholestasis (40%), with no association between age of onset and genotype severity. ATP8B1 variants were associated with chronic liver disease (75%); however, they were commonly seen in patients with an alternate etiology of liver disease and variants were of low predicted pathogenicity. In adults with suspected genetic cholestasis, variants in cholestasis genes were frequently identified and were likely to contribute to the development of liver disease, particularly ABCB4 and ABCB11. Variants were often in heterozygous state, and they should no longer be considered recessive Mendelian traits. Sequencing cholestasis genes in selected patients with adult‐onset disease should be considered, with interpretation in close collaboration with histopathologists and geneticists. Variants in cholestasis genes were found in patients with adult‐onset liver disease. ABCB4 variants are associated with chronic biliary disease, variants in ABCB11 are seen in patients with acute cholestasis, and the clinical significance of ATP8B1 variants is not clear.![]()

Abstract
The family of inherited intrahepatic cholestasis includes autosomal recessive cholestatic rare diseases of childhood involved in bile acids secretion or bile transport defects. Specific genetic pathways potentially cause many otherwise unexplained cholestasis or hepatobiliary tumours in a healthy liver. Lately, next-generation sequencing and whole-exome sequencing have improved the diagnostic procedures of familial intrahepatic cholestasis (FIC), as well as the discovery of several genes responsible for FIC. Moreover, mutations in these genes, even in the heterozygous status, may be responsible for cryptogenic cholestasis in both young and adults. Mutations in FIC genes can influence serum and hepatic levels of bile acids. Experimental studies on the NR1H4 gene have shown that high bile acids concentrations cause excessive production of inflammatory cytokines, resistance to apoptosis, and increased cell regeneration, all risk conditions for developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). NR1H4 gene encodes farnesoid X-activated receptor having a pivotal role in bile salts synthesis. Moreover, HCC and CCA can emerge in patients with several FIC genes such as ABCB11, ABCB4 and TJP2. Herein, we reviewed the available data on FIC-related hepatobiliary cancers, reporting on genetics to the pathophysiology, the risk factors and the clinical presentation.

Abstract
With the application of modern investigative technologies, cholestatic liver diseases of genetic etiology are increasingly identified as the root cause of previously designated "idiopathic" adult and pediatric liver diseases. Here, we review advances in the field enhanced by a deeper understanding of the phenotypes associated with specific gene defects that lead to cholestatic liver diseases. There are evolving areas for clinicians in the current era specifically regarding the role for biopsy and opportunities for a "sequencing first" approach. Risk stratification based on the severity of the genetic defect holds promise to guide the decision to pursue primary liver transplantation versus medical therapy or nontransplant surgery, as well as early screening for HCC. In the present era, the expanding toolbox of recently approved therapies for hepatologists has real potential to help many of our patients with genetic causes of cholestasis. In addition, there are promising agents under study in the pipeline. Relevant to the current era, there are still gaps in knowledge of causation and pathogenesis and lack of fully accepted biomarkers of disease progression and pruritus. We discuss strategies to overcome the challenges of genotype-phenotype correlation and draw attention to the extrahepatic manifestations of these diseases. Finally, with attention to identifying causes and treatments of genetic cholestatic disorders, we anticipate a vibrant future of this dynamic field which builds upon current and future therapies, real-world evaluations of individual and combined therapeutics, and the potential incorporation of effective gene editing and gene additive technologies.

Abstract
Familial intrahepatic cholestasis 1 (FIC1) disease is a genetic disorder characterized by hepatic and gastrointestinal disease due to ATP8B1 deficiency, often requiring liver transplantation (LT). Extrahepatic symptoms, such as diarrhea, malabsorption, and failure to thrive, do not improve and instead may be aggravated after LT. We describe a patient with FIC1 disease who underwent LT at 2 years, 8 months of age. After LT, the child developed severe refractory diarrhea and failed to thrive. The response to bile acid resins was unsatisfactory, and the parents declined our recommendation for partial external biliary diversion (PEBD). Quality of life was extremely impaired, especially due to severe diarrhea, making school attendance impossible. Attempting to reduce the total bile acids, we initiated off-label use of the ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT) inhibitor Elobixibat (Goofice™), later converted to Odevixibat (Bylvay™). After six months of treatment, the patient showed less stool output, increased weight and height, and improved physical energy levels. The child could now pursue higher undergraduate education. In our patient with FIC1 disease, the use of IBAT inhibitors was effective in treating chronic diarrhea and failure to thrive. This approach is novel; further investigations are needed to clarify the exact mode of action in this condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis is an expanding group of autosomal recessive intrahepatic cholestatic disorders. Recently, next-generation sequencing allowed identifying new genes responsible for new specific disorders. Two biochemical phenotypes have been identified according to gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity. Mutations of the myosin 5B gene (MYO5B) are known to cause microvillus inclusion disease. Recently, different mutations in MYO5B gene have been reported in patients with low-GGT cholestasis. METHODS A multicenter retrospective and prospective study was conducted in 32 children with cryptogenic intrahepatic cholestasis. Clinical, biochemical, histological, and treatment data were analyzed in these patients. DNA from peripheral blood was extracted, and all patients were studied by whole exome sequencing followed by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS Six patients out of 32 had mutations in the MYO5B gene. Of these six patients, the median age at disease onset was 0.8 years, and the median length of follow-up was 4.2 years. The most common signs were pruritus, poor growth, hepatomegaly, jaundice, and hypocholic stools. Two patients also showed intestinal involvement. Transaminases and conjugated bilirubin were moderately increased, serum bile acids elevated, and GGT persistently normal. At anti-Myo5B immunostaining, performed in liver biopsy of two patients, coarse granules were evident within the cytoplasm of hepatocytes while bile salt export pump was normally expressed at the canalicular membrane. Six variants in homozygosity or compound heterozygosity in the MYO5B gene were identified, and three of them have never been described before. All nucleotide alterations were located on the myosin motor domain except one missense variant found in the isoleucine-glutamine calmodulin-binding motif. CONCLUSIONS We identified causative mutations in MYO5B in 18.7% of a selected cohort of patients with intrahepatic cholestasis confirming a relevant role for the MYO5B gene in low-GGT cholestasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a collective term for a heterogenous group of rare, inherited cholestasis syndromes. The number of genes underlying the clinical PFIC phenotype is still increasing. While progressive liver disease and its sequelae such as portal hypertension, pruritus and hepatocellular carcinoma determine transplant-free survival, extrahepatic manifestations may cause relevant morbidity. METHODS We performed a literature search for extrahepatic manifestations of PFIC associated with pathogenic gene variants in ATP8B1, ABCB11, ABCB4, TJP2, NR1H4 and MYO5B. To illustrate the extrahepatic symptoms described in the literature, PFIC cases from our centres were revisited. RESULTS Extrahepatic symptoms are common in PFIC subtypes, where the affected gene is expressed at high levels in other tissues. While most liver-associated complications resolve after successful orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), some extrahepatic symptoms show no response or even worsen after OLT. CONCLUSION The spectrum of extrahepatic manifestations in PFIC highlights essential, non-redundant roles of the affected genes in other organs. Extrahepatic features contribute towards low health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and morbidity in PFIC. While OLT is often the only remaining, curative treatment, potential extrahepatic manifestations need to be carefully monitored and addressed.

Abstract
Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 (BRIC1) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by intermittent episodes of jaundice and intense pruritus and caused by pathogenic variants of adenosine triphosphatase phospholipid transporting 8B1 (ATP8B1). The presence of genetic heterogeneity in the variants of ATP8B1 is suggested. Herein, we describe a unique clinical course in a patient with BRIC1 and a novel heterozygous pathogenic variant of ATP8B1. A 20-year-old Japanese man experienced his first cholestasis attack secondary to elevated transaminase at 17 years of age. Laboratory examinations showed no evidence of liver injury caused by viral, autoimmune, or inborn or acquired metabolic etiologies. Since the patient also had elevated transaminase and hypoalbuminemia, he was treated with ursodeoxycholic acid and prednisolone. However, these treatments did not relieve his symptoms. Histopathological assessment revealed marked cholestasis in the hepatocytes, Kupffer cells, and bile canaliculi, as well as a well-preserved intralobular bile duct arrangement and strongly expressed bile salt export pump at the canalicular membrane. Targeted next-generation sequencing detected a novel heterozygous pathogenic variant of ATP8B1 (c.1429 + 2T > G). Taken together, the patient was highly suspected of having BRIC1. Ultimately, treatment with 450 mg/day of rifampicin rapidly relieved his symptoms and shortened the symptomatic period.

Abstract
P4-ATPases flip lipids from the exoplasmic to the cytosolic leaflet, thus maintaining lipid asymmetry in eukaryotic cell membranes. Mutations in several human P4-ATPase genes are associated with severe diseases, for example in ATP8B1 causing progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis, a rare inherited disorder progressing toward liver failure. ATP8B1 forms a binary complex with CDC50A and displays a broad specificity to glycerophospholipids, but regulatory mechanisms are unknown. Here, we report functional studies and the cryo-EM structure of the human lipid flippase ATP8B1-CDC50A at 3.1 Å resolution. We find that ATP8B1 is autoinhibited by its N- and C-terminal tails, which form extensive interactions with the catalytic sites and flexible domain interfaces. Consistently, ATP hydrolysis is unleashed by truncation of the C-terminus, but also requires phosphoinositides, most markedly phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-phosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3), and removal of both N- and C-termini results in full activation. Restored inhibition of ATP8B1 truncation constructs with a synthetic peptide mimicking the C-terminal segment further suggests molecular communication between N- and C-termini in the autoinhibition and demonstrates that the regulatory mechanism can be interfered with by exogenous compounds. A recurring (G/A)(Y/F)AFS motif of the C-terminal segment suggests that this mechanism is employed widely across P4-ATPase lipid flippases in plasma membrane and endomembranes.

Structural insights into the activation of autoinhibited human lipid flippase ATP8B1 upon substrate binding. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2022; 119:e2118656119. [PMID: 35349344 PMCID: PMC9168909 DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2118656119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
ATP8B1 is a P4 ATPase that maintains membrane asymmetry by transporting phospholipids across the cell membrane. Disturbance of lipid asymmetry will lead to the imbalance of the cell membrane and eventually, cell death. Thus, defects in ATP8B1 are usually associated with severe human diseases, such as intrahepatic cholestasis. The present structures of ATP8B1 complexed with its auxiliary noncatalytic partners CDC50A and CDC50B reveal an autoinhibited state of ATP8B1 that could be released upon substrate binding. Moreover, release of this autoinhibition could be facilitated by the bile acids, which are key factors that alter the membrane asymmetry of hepatocytes. This enabled us to figure out a feedback loop of bile acids and lipids across the cell membrane. The human P4 ATPase ATP8B1 in complex with the auxiliary noncatalytic protein CDC50A or CDC50B mediates the transport of cell-membrane lipids from the outer to the inner membrane leaflet, which is crucial to maintain the asymmetry of membrane lipids. Its dysfunction usually leads to an imbalance of bile-acid circulation and eventually causes intrahepatic cholestasis diseases. Here, we found that both ATP8B1–CDC50A and ATP8B1–CDC50B possess a higher ATPase activity in the presence of the most favored substrate phosphatidylserine (PS), and, moreover, that the PS-stimulated activity could be augmented upon the addition of bile acids. The 3.4-Å cryo-electron microscopy structures of ATP8B1–CDC50A and ATP8B1–CDC50B enabled us to capture a phosphorylated and autoinhibited state, with the N- and C-terminal tails separately inserted into the cytoplasmic interdomain clefts of ATP8B1. The PS-bound ATP8B1–CDC50A structure at 4.0-Å resolution indicated that the autoinhibited state could be released upon PS binding. Structural analysis combined with mutagenesis revealed the residues that determine the substrate specificity and a unique positively charged loop in the phosphorylated domain of ATP8B1 for the recruitment of bile acids. Together, we supplemented the Post–Albers transport cycle of P4 ATPases with an extra autoinhibited state of ATP8B1, which could be activated upon substrate binding. These findings not only provide structural insights into the ATP8B1-mediated restoration of human membrane lipid asymmetry during bile-acid circulation, but also advance our understanding of the molecular mechanism of P4 ATPases.

Abstract
Sequencing exomes/genomes have been successful for identifying recessive genes; however, discovery of dominant genes including deafness genes (DFNA) remains challenging. We report a new DFNA gene, ATP11A, in a Newfoundland family with a variable form of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Genome-wide SNP genotyping linked SNHL to DFNA33 (LOD = 4.77), a locus on 13q34 previously mapped in a German family with variable SNHL. Whole-genome sequencing identified 51 unremarkable positional variants on 13q34. Continuous clinical ascertainment identified several key recombination events and reduced the disease interval to 769 kb, excluding all but one variant. ATP11A (NC_000013.11: chr13:113534963G>A) is a novel variant predicted to be a cryptic donor splice site. RNA studies verified in silico predictions, revealing the retention of 153 bp of intron in the 3' UTR of several ATP11A isoforms. Two unresolved families from Israel were subsequently identified with a similar, variable form of SNHL and a novel duplication (NM_032189.3:c.3322_3327+2dupGTCCAGGT) in exon 28 of ATP11A extended exon 28 by 8 bp, leading to a frameshift and premature stop codon (p.Asn1110Valfs43Ter). ATP11A is a type of P4-ATPase that transports (flip) phospholipids from the outer to inner leaflet of cell membranes to maintain asymmetry. Haploinsufficiency of ATP11A, the phospholipid flippase that specially transports phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), could leave cells with PS/PE at the extracellular side vulnerable to phagocytic degradation. Given that surface PS can be pharmaceutically targeted, hearing loss due to ATP11A could potentially be treated. It is also likely that ATP11A is the gene underlying DFNA33.

Abstract
The negatively charged aminophospholipid, phosphatidylserine (PtdSer), is located in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane in normal cells, and may be exposed to the outer leaflet under some immune and blood coagulation processes. Meanwhile, Ptdser exposed to apoptotic cells can be recognized and eliminated by various immune cells, whereas on the surface of activated platelets Ptdser interacts with coagulation factors prompting enhanced production of thrombin which significantly facilitates blood coagulation. In the case where PtdSer fails in exposure or mistakenly occurs, there are occurrences of certain immunological and haematological diseases, such as the Scott syndrome and Systemic lupus erythematosus. Besides, viruses (e.g., Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Ebola virus (EBOV)) can invade host cells through binding the exposed PtdSer. Most recently, the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been similarly linked to PtdSer or its receptors. Therefore, it is essential to comprehensively understand PtdSer and its functional characteristics. Therefore, this review summarizes Ptdser, its eversion mechanism; interaction mechanism, particularly with its immune receptors and coagulation factors; recognition sites; and its function in immune and blood processes. This review illustrates the potential aspects for the underlying pathogenic mechanism of PtdSer-related diseases, and the discovery of new therapeutic strategies as well.

Clinical outcomes of surgical management for rare types of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis: a case series. Surg Case Rep 2022; 8:10.

Abstract
Background Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a heterogeneous group of genetic autosomal recessive diseases that cause severe cholestasis, which progresses to cirrhosis and liver failure, in infancy or early childhood. We herein report the clinical outcomes of surgical management in patients with four types of PFIC. Case presentation Six patients diagnosed with PFIC who underwent surgical treatment between 1998 and 2020 at our institution were retrospectively assessed. Living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) was performed in 5 patients with PFIC. The median age at LDLT was 4.8 (range: 1.9–11.4) years. One patient each with familial intrahepatic cholestasis 1 (FIC1) deficiency and bile salt export pump (BSEP) deficiency died after LDLT, and the four remaining patients, one each with deficiency of FIC1, BSEP, multidrug resistance protein 3 (MDR3), and tight junction protein 2 (TJP2), survived. One FIC1 deficiency recipient underwent LDLT secondary to deterioration of liver function, following infectious enteritis. Although he underwent LDLT accompanied by total external biliary diversion, the patient died because of PFIC-related complications. The other patient with FIC1 deficiency had intractable pruritus and underwent partial internal biliary diversion (PIBD) at 9.8 years of age, pruritus largely resolved after PIBD. One BSEP deficiency recipient, who had severe graft damage, experienced recurrence of cholestasis due to the development of antibodies against BSEP after LDLT, and eventually died due to graft failure. The other patient with BSEP deficiency recovered well after LDLT and there was no evidence of posttransplant recurrence of cholestasis. In contrast, recipients with MDR3 or TJP2 deficiency showed good courses and outcomes after LDLT. Conclusions Although LDLT was considered an effective treatment for PFIC, the clinical courses and outcomes after LDLT were still inadequate in patients with FIC1 and BSEP deficiency. LDLT accompanied by total biliary diversion may not be as effective for patients with FIC1 deficiency.

Abstract
Cells internalize proteins and lipids in the plasma membrane (PM) and solutes in the extracellular space by endocytosis. The removal of PM by endocytosis is constantly balanced by the replenishment of proteins and lipids to PM through recycling pathway. Recycling endosomes (REs) are specific subsets of endosomes. Besides the established role of REs in recycling pathway, recent studies have revealed unanticipated roles of REs in membrane traffic and cell signalling. In this review, we highlight these emerging issues, with a particular focus on phosphatidylserine (PS), a phospholipid that is highly enriched in the cytosolic leaflet of RE membranes. We also discuss the pathogenesis of Hermansky Pudlak syndrome type 2 (HPS2) that arises from mutations in the AP3B1 gene, from the point of view of dysregulated RE functions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 (PFIC1) arises from biallelic variants in the ATP8B1 gene that annul FIC1 activity, resulting in progressive liver disease. Liver transplant (LT) is indicated in refractory disease; however, post-LT complications including worsening diarrhea and steatohepatitis progressing to fibrosis with graft loss have been reported. We aim to describe long-term outcomes of PFIC1 LT recipients at our center, focusing on the histological changes of the allografts. METHODS We assessed 7 PFIC1 patients post-LT at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh (CHP). All pre-transplant, explant, and sequential post-transplant pathology samples were reviewed. Continuous data are presented as the mean ± SD. We compared the pre- and post-transplant height and weight z-scores using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RESULTS Seven (29% male) patients with PFIC1 received a LT (n = 6) or had post-LT care (n = 1) at CHP. Six had confirmed or suspected identical genetic. At a mean follow-up of 10.9 years, both patient survival and graft survival were 100%. Diarrhea persisted (n = 3) or newly developed (n = 4) in all patients after LT contributing to ongoing growth failure, with mean z-scores -2.63 (weight) and -2.98 (height) at follow-up. Histologically, allograft steatosis was common but was not accompanied by significant inflammation, ballooning, or fibrosis. CONCLUSION We show that extrahepatic disease persists and near-universal allograft steatosis occurs. However, at a mean follow-up period of over 10 years, no patients developed steatohepatitis or significant fibrosis, and both patient survival and graft survival are excellent.

Genes (Basel) 2021; 12:1837. [PMID: 34828443 PMCID: PMC8621872 DOI: 10.3390/genes12111837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Revised: 11/15/2021] [Accepted: 11/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Many inherited conditions cause cholestasis in the neonate or infant. Next-generation sequencing methods can facilitate a prompt diagnosis in some of these cases; application of these methods in patients with liver diseases of unknown cause has also uncovered novel gene-disease associations and improved our understanding of physiological bile secretion and flow. By helping to define the molecular basis of certain cholestatic disorders, these methods have also identified new targets for therapy as well patient subgroups more likely to benefit from specific therapies. At the same time, sequencing methods have presented new diagnostic challenges, such as the interpretation of single heterozygous genetic variants. This article discusses those challenges in the context of neonatal and infantile cholestasis, focusing on difficulties in predicting variant pathogenicity, the possibility of other causal variants not identified by the genetic screen used, and phenotypic variability among patients with variants in the same genes. A prospective, observational study performed between 2010-2013, which sequenced six important genes (ATP8B1, ABCB11, ABCB4, NPC1, NPC2 and SLC25A13) in an international cohort of 222 patients with infantile liver disease, is given as an example of potential benefits and challenges that clinicians could face having received a complex genetic result. Further studies including large cohorts of patients with paediatric liver disease are needed to clarify the spectrum of phenotypes associated with, as well as appropriate clinical response to, single heterozygous variants in cholestasis-associated genes.

Abstract
Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 (PFIC1) results from biallelic pathogenic variants in ATP8B1. This study sought second pathogenic variants in ATP8B1 by whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in four unrelated low γ-glutamyl transpeptidase cholestasis patients in whom clinical suspicion of PFIC1 was high and gene-panel or Sanger sequencing had identified only one pathogenic variant in ATP8B1. Sanger sequencing confirmed WGS findings and determined the origin of each variant. Novel nonrecurrent structural variants in three patients (patient 1 to patient 3) were identified in trans: g.55396652_55403080del (6427-bp deletion), g.55335906_55346620dup (10,715-bp duplication), and g.55362063_55364293dup (2231-bp duplication). One synonymous variant in patient 4 was recognized in trans (c.1029G>A, p. Thr343Thr) and demonstrated as deleterious. In conclusion, WGS improves genetic diagnostic yield in PFIC1. These findings expand the gene-variant spectrum associated with familiar intrahepatic cholestasis 1 (FIC1) disease and for the first time report tandem duplication in ATP8B1 associated with cholestasis.

Zool Res 2021; 42:650-659.

Abstract
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is distributed asymmetrically in the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells. Phosphatidylserine flippase (P4-ATPase) transports PS from the outer leaflet of the lipid bilayer to the inner leaflet of the membrane to maintain PS asymmetry. The β subunit TMEM30A is indispensable for transport and proper function of P4-ATPase. Previous studies have shown that the ATP11A and TMEM30A complex is the molecular switch for myotube formation. However, the role of Tmem30a in skeletal muscle regeneration remains elusive. In the current study, Tmem30a was highly expressed in the tibialis anterior (TA) muscles of dystrophin-null (mdx) mice and BaCl2-induced muscle injury model mice. We generated a satellite cell (SC)-specific Tmem30a conditional knockout (cKO) mouse model to investigate the role of Tmem30a in skeletal muscle regeneration. The regenerative ability of cKO mice was evaluated by analyzing the number and diameter of regenerated SCs after the TA muscles were injured by BaCl2-injection. Compared to the control mice, the cKO mice showed decreased Pax7+ and MYH3+ SCs, indicating diminished SC proliferation, and decreased expression of muscular regulatory factors (MYOD and MYOG), suggesting impaired myoblast proliferation in skeletal muscle regeneration. Taken together, these results demonstrate the essential role of Tmem30a in skeletal muscle regeneration.

Abstract
Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) is a rare hereditary cholestatic liver disorder. Accurate diagnosis and timely interventions are important in determining outcomes. Besides clinical and pathologic diagnosis, genetic study of BRIC remains limited. Here, we report a young man enduring recurrent jaundice and severe pruritus for 15 years. The increased level of direct bilirubin was the main biochemical abnormality, and the work-up for common causes of jaundice were unremarkable. Liver biopsy showed extensive cholestasis of hepatocytes in zone 3. The novel homozygous variant including c.1817T > C and p.I606T was detected on his ATP8B1gene. The patient was finally diagnosed with BRIC-1. His symptoms were relieved, and liver function tests returned to normal after taking ursodeoxycholic acid. This case provides a different perspective to the methodology employed when dealing with cases of jaundice and helping diagnose rare diseases.

Abstract
Bile acids perform vital functions in the human liver and are the essential component of bile. It is therefore not surprising that the biology of bile acids is extremely complex, regulated on different levels, and involves soluble and membrane receptors as well as transporters. Hereditary disorders of these proteins manifest in different pathophysiological processes that result in liver diseases of varying severity. In this review, we summarize our current knowledge of the physiology and pathophysiology of bile acids with an emphasis on recently established analytical approaches as well as the molecular mechanisms that underlie signaling and transport of bile acids. In this review, we will focus on ABC transporters of the canalicular membrane and their associated diseases. As the G protein-coupled receptor, TGR5, receives increasing attention, we have included aspects of this receptor and its interaction with bile acids.

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.

Abstract
Recent studies on liver disease burden worldwide estimated that cirrhosis is the 11th most common cause of death globally, and there is a great need for new therapies to limit the progression of liver injuries in the early stages. Cholestasis is caused by accumulation of hydrophobic bile acids (BA) in the liver due to dysfunctional BA efflux or bile flow into the gall bladder. Therefore, strategies to increase detoxification of hydrophobic BA and downregulate genes involved in BA production are largely investigated. Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) has a central role in BA homeostasis and recent publications revealed that changes in autophagy due to BA-induced reactive oxygen species and increased anti-oxidant response via nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2), result in dysregulation of FXR signaling. Several mechanistic studies have identified new dysfunctions of the cholestatic liver at cellular and molecular level, opening new venues for developing more performant therapies.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the lethal diseases that arise due to the molecular alterations in the cell. One of those alterations associated with cancer corresponds to differential expression of Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a nuclear receptor regulating bile, cholesterol homeostasis, lipid, and glucose metabolism. FXR is known to regulate several diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular diseases, the two highly reported causes of mortality globally. Recent studies have shown the association of FXR overexpression with cancer development and progression in different types of cancers of breast, lung, pancreas, and oesophagus. It has also been associated with tissue-specific and cell-specific roles in various cancers. It has been shown to modulate several cell-signalling pathways such as EGFR/ERK, NF-κB, p38/MAPK, PI3K/AKT, Wnt/β-catenin, and JAK/STAT along with their targets such as caspases, MMPs, cyclins; tumour suppressor proteins like p53, C/EBPβ, and p-Rb; various cytokines; EMT markers; and many more. Therefore, FXR has high potential as novel biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of cancer. Thus, the present review focuses on the diverse role of FXR in different cancers and its agonists and antagonists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The etiology of cholestasis remains unknown in many children. We surveyed the genome of children with chronic cholestasis for variants in genes not previously associated with liver disease and validated their biological relevance in zebrafish and murine models. METHOD Whole-exome (n = 4) and candidate gene sequencing (n = 89) was completed on 93 children with cholestasis and normal serum γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels without pathogenic variants in genes known to cause low GGT cholestasis such as ABCB11 or ATP8B1. CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas9 genome editing was used to induce frameshift pathogenic variants in the candidate gene in zebrafish and mice. RESULTS In a 1-year-old female patient with normal GGT cholestasis and bile duct paucity, we identified a homozygous truncating pathogenic variant (c.198delA, p.Gly67Alafs∗6) in the ABCC12 gene (NM_033226). Five additional rare ABCC12 variants, including a pathogenic one, were detected in our cohort. ABCC12 encodes multidrug resistance-associated protein 9 (MRP9) that belongs to the adenosine 5'-triphosphate-binding cassette transporter C family with unknown function and no previous implication in liver disease. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting revealed conserved MRP9 protein expression in the bile ducts in human, mouse, and zebrafish. Zebrafish abcc12-null mutants were prone to cholangiocyte apoptosis, which caused progressive bile duct loss during the juvenile stage. MRP9-deficient mice had fewer well-formed interlobular bile ducts and higher serum alkaline phosphatase levels compared with wild-type mice. They exhibited aggravated cholangiocyte apoptosis, hyperbilirubinemia, and liver fibrosis upon cholic acid challenge. CONCLUSIONS Our work connects MRP9 with bile duct homeostasis and cholestatic liver disease for the first time. It identifies a potential therapeutic target to attenuate bile acid-induced cholangiocyte injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a liver disorder of pregnancy characterized by pruritus, elevated liver enzymes and fasting serum bile acids. Genetic predisposition has been suggested to play a role in its etiology and mutations in the ATP8B1(OMIM ∗602397) (FIC1), ABCB11(OMIM ∗603201) (BSEP), and ABCB4(OMIM ∗171060) (MDR3) genes have been implicated. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the possible role of ATP8B1, ABCB11, and ABCB4 gene mutations in the patients with ICP. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 25 patients who were diagnosed with ICP were included in the study. Genetic test results and mutation status of the patients as assessed by the next-generation sequencing technology were retrospectively retrieved from the hospital database. RESULTS Of all patients, significant alterations in the ATP8B1 (n = 2), ABCB11 (n = 1), and ABCB4 (n = 7) genes were observed in 10 patients using the molecular analysis testing. All these alterations were heterozygous. Of these alterations, four were reported in the literature previously, while six were not. Using the in-silico parameters, there was a pathogenic alteration in the ABCB4 gene in one patient, while there was no clinically relevant alteration in the other gene mutations in the remaining nine patients. CONCLUSION Considering the fact that the alterations were compatible with clinical presentations of the ICP patients and the incidence of these mutations is low in the general population, we believe that our study results are clinically relevant. Further molecular genetic tests in ICP patients and functional studies supporting the results would shed light into the clinical importance of these alterations.
