Abstract
BACKGROUND Oculoauriculovertebral Spectrum (OAVS) encompasses abnormalities on derivatives from the first and second pharyngeal arches including macrostomia, hemifacial microsomia, micrognathia, preauricular tags, ocular and vertebral anomalies. We present genetic findings on a three-generation family affected with macrostomia, preauricular tags and uni- or bilateral ptosis following an autosomal dominant pattern. METHODS We generated whole genome sequencing data for the proband, affected parent and unaffected paternal grandparent followed by Sanger sequencing on 23 family members for the top 10 candidate genes: KCND2, PDGFRA, CASP9, NCOA3, WNT10A, SIX1, MTF1, KDR/VEGFR2, LRRK1, and TRIM2 We performed parent and sibling-based transmission disequilibrium tests and burden analysis via a penalized linear mixed model, for segregation and mutation burden respectively. Next, via bioinformatic tools we predicted protein function, mutation pathogenicity and pathway enrichment to investigate the biological relevance of mutations identified. RESULTS Rare missense mutations in SIX1, KDR/VEGFR2, and PDGFRA showed the best segregation with the OAV phenotypes in this family. When considering any of the 3 OAVS phenotypes as an outcome, SIX1 had the strongest associations in parent-TDTs and sib-TDTs (p=0.025, p=0.052) (unadjusted p-values). Burden analysis identified SIX1 (RC=0.87) and PDGFRA (RC=0.98) strongly associated with OAVS severity. Using phenotype-specific outcomes, sib-TDTs identified SIX1 with uni- or bilateral ptosis (p=0.049) and ear tags (p=0.01), and PDGFRA and KDR/VEGFR2 with ear tags (both p<0.01). CONCLUSION SIX1, PDGFRA, and KDR/VEGFR2 are strongly associated to OAVS phenotypes. SIX1 has been previously associated with OAVS ear malformations and is co-expressed with EYA1 during ear development. Efforts to strengthen the genotype-phenotype co-relation underlying the OAVS are key to discover etiology, family counseling and prevention.

[PMID: 38433559 PMCID: PMC10910234 DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.2411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemifacial macrosomia (HFM, OMIM 164210) is a complex and highly heterogeneous disease. FORKHEAD BOX I3 (FOXI3) is a susceptibility gene for HFM, and mice with loss of function of Foxi3 did exhibit a phenotype similar to craniofacial dysmorphism. However, the specific pathogenesis of HFM caused by FOXI3 deficiency remains unclear till now. METHOD In this study, we first constructed a Foxi3 deficiency (Foxi3-/- ) mouse model to verify the craniofacial phenotype of Foxi3-/- mice, and then used RNAseq data for gene differential expression analysis to screen candidate pathogenic genes, and conducted gene expression verification analysis using quantitative real-time PCR. RESULTS By observing the phenotype of Foxi3-/- mice, we found that craniofacial dysmorphism was present. The results of comprehensive bioinformatics analysis suggested that the craniofacial dysmorphism caused by Foxi3 deficiency may be involved in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Quantitative real-time PCR results showed that the expression of PI3K-Akt signaling pathway-related gene Akt2 was significantly increased in Foxi3-/- mice. CONCLUSION The craniofacial dysmorphism caused by the deficiency of Foxi3 may be related to the expression of Akt2 and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. This study laid a foundation for understanding the function of FOXI3 and the pathogenesis and treatment of related craniofacial dysmorphism caused by FOXI3 dysfunction.

Wei F, Gu Y, He L, Kapoor A, Lin X, Dong Y, Su Y, Neira SV, Tang D. HSD17B6 delays type 2 diabetes development via inhibiting SREBP activation. Metabolism 2023:155631. [PMID: 37330135 DOI: 10.1016/j.metabol.2023.155631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The SREBP/SCAP/INSIG complex plays an essential role in SREBP activation and de novo lipogenesis. Whether the activation process is affected by hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 6 (HSD17B6) remains unknown. METHODS SREBP's transcriptional activities were analyzed using an SRE-luciferase (SRE-luc) reporter in 293T cells, Huh7 hepatoma cells, and primary human hepatocytes following a variety of conditions, including ectopic expression of HSD17B6, HSD17B6 mutants defective in its enzymatic activities, knockdown of HSD17B6, and cholesterol starvation. The interaction between HSD17B6 and SREBP/SCAP/INSIG complex was analyzed in 293T cells, Huh7 cells and mouse liver upon ectopic expression of HSD17B6 and its mutants; the interaction was also analyzed using endogenous proteins. The impacts of HSD17B6 on SREBP target expression, glucose tolerance, diet-induced obesity, and type 2 diabetes (T2D) were examined using Huh7 cells in vitro, and with C57BL/6 and NONcNZO10/LtJ T2D mice in vivo. RESULTS HSD17B6 binds to the SREBP/SCAP/INSIG complex and inhibits SREBP signaling in cultured hepatocytes and mouse liver. Although HSD17B6 plays a role in maintaining the equilibrium of 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the prostate, a mutant defective in androgen metabolism was as effective as HSD17B6 in inhibiting SREBP signaling. Hepatic expression of both HSD17B6 and the defective mutant improved glucose intolerance and reduced hepatic triglyceride content in diet-induced obese C57BL/6 mice, while hepatic knockdown of HSD17B6 exacerbated glucose intolerance. Consistent with these results, liver-specific expression of HSD17B6 in a polygenic NONcNZO10/LtJ T2D mice reduced T2D development. CONCLUSIONS Our study unveils a novel role of HSD17B6 in inhibiting SREBP maturation via binding to the SREBP/SCAP/INSIG complex; this activity is independent of HSD17B6's sterol oxidase activity. Through this action, HSD17B6 improves glucose tolerance and attenuates the development of obesity-induced T2D. These findings position HSD17B6 as a potential therapeutic target for T2D therapy.

Exploration of Novel Genetic Evidence and Clinical Significance Into Hemifacial Microsomia Pathogenesis. J Craniofac Surg 2023; 34:834-838.

Abstract
The authors browsed through past genetic findings in hemifacial microsomia along with our previously identified mutations in ITGB4 and PDE4DIP from whole genome sequencing of hemifacial microsomia patients. Wondering whether these genes influence mandibular bone modeling by regulation on osteogenesis, the authors approached mechanisms of hemifacial microsomia through this investigation into gene knockdown effects in vitro. MC3T3E1 cells were divided into 5 groups: the negative control group without osteogenesis induction or siRNA, the positive control group with only osteogenesis induction, and 3 gene silenced groups with both osteogenesis induction and siRNA. Validation of transfection was through fluorescence microscopy and quantitative real-time Polymerase chain reaction on knockdown efficiency. Changes in expression levels of the 3 genes during osteogenesis and impact of Itgb4 and Pde4dip knockdown on osteogenesis were examined by quantitative real-time Polymerase chain reaction, alkaline phosphatase, and alizarin red staining. Elevation of osteogenic genes Alpl, Col1a1, Bglap, Spp1, and Runx2 verified successful osteogenesis. Both genes were upregulated under osteogenic induction, while they had different trends over time. Intracellular fluorophores under microscope validated successful transfection and si-m-Itgb4_003, si-m-Pde4dip_002 had satisfactory knockdown effects. During osteogenesis, Pde4dip knockdown enhanced Spp1 expression (1.95±0.13 folds, P =0.045). The authors speculated that these genes may have different involvements in osteogenesis. Stimulated expression of Spp1 by Pde4dip knockdown may suggest that Pde4dip inhibits osteogenesis.

Abstract
The etiology of oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) is not well established. About half of patients show a positive family history. The etiology of familiar cases is unclear but appears genetically heterogeneous. This motivated us to report a case of OAVS with microtia, ptosis, facial microsomy, and fusion of vertebral bodies associated with a novel genetic etiology, including a deletion at 1p36.12-13. This case report expands on the genetic etiology of OAVS. Furthermore, it also expands the clinical manifestations of patients with interstitial deletions of the de 1p36.12-13 region.

Abstract
Oculo-auriculo-vertebral syndrome (OAVS) is a clinically heterogeneous disorder, with both genetic and environmental contributors. Multiple genes have been associated with OAVS and common molecular pathways, such as retinoic acid and the PAX-SIX-EYA-DACH (PSED) network, are being implicated in the disease pathophysiology. Biallelic homozygous nonsense or hypomorphic missense mutations in PAX1 cause otofaciocervical syndrome type 2 (OTFCS2), a similar but more severe multi-system disorder that can be accompanied by severe combined immunodeficiency due to thymic aplasia. Here we have identified a multi-generational family with mild features of OAVS segregating a heterozygous frameshift in PAX1. The four base duplication is expected to result in nonsense-mediated decay, and therefore cause a null allele. While there was full penetrance of the variant, expressivity of facial and ear features were variable. Our findings indicate there can be monoallelic and biallelic disorders associated with PAX1, and further implicate the PSED network in OAVS.

Abstract
Regulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation is critical for most, if not all, fundamental cellular processes. However, we still do not fully understand the complex and tissue-specific roles of protein tyrosine phosphatases in the normal heart or in cardiac pathology. This review compares and contrasts the various roles of protein tyrosine phosphatases known to date in the context of cardiac disease and development. In particular, it will be considered how specific protein tyrosine phosphatases control cardiac hypertrophy and cardiomyocyte contractility, how protein tyrosine phosphatases contribute to or ameliorate injury induced by ischaemia / reperfusion or hypoxia / reoxygenation, and how protein tyrosine phosphatases are involved in normal heart development and congenital heart disease. This review delves into the newest developments and current challenges in the field, and highlights knowledge gaps and emerging opportunities for future research.

Abstract
Oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) or Goldenhar syndrome is due to an abnormal development of first and second branchial arches derivatives during embryogenesis and is characterised by hemifacial microsomia associated with auricular, ocular and vertebral malformations. The clinical and genetic heterogeneity of this spectrum with incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity, render its molecular diagnosis difficult. Only a few recurrent CNVs and genes have been identified as causatives in this complex disorder so far. Prenatal environmental causal factors have also been hypothesised. However, most of the patients remain without aetiology. In this review, we aim at updating clinical diagnostic criteria and describing genetic and non-genetic aetiologies, animal models as well as novel diagnostic tools and surgical management, in order to help and improve clinical care and genetic counselling of these patients and their families.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oculoauriculovertebral spectrum (OAVS) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous disorder that occurs due to a developmental field defect of the first and second pharyngeal arches. Even though recent whole exome sequencing studies (WES) have led to identification of several genes associated with this spectrum in a subset of individuals, complete pathogenesis of OAVS remains unsolved. In this study, molecular genetic etiology of OAVS was systematically investigated. DESIGN/SETTING/PATIENTS A cohort of 23 Turkish patients with OAVS, referred to Hacettepe University Hospital, Department of Pediatric Genetics from 2008 to 2018, was included in this study. Minimal diagnostic criteria for OAVS were considered as unilateral microtia or hemifacial microsomia with preauricular skin tag. The cohort was clinically reevaluated for craniofacial and extracranial findings. Molecular etiology was investigated using candidate gene sequencing following copy number variant (CNV) analysis. WES was also performed for 2 of the selected patients. RESULTS Patients in the study cohort presented similar demographic and phenotypic characteristics to previously described patients in the literature except for a higher frequency of bilaterality, cardiac findings, and intellectual disability/developmental delay. CNV analysis revealed a possible genetic etiology for 3 patients (13%). Additional WES in 1 of the 2 patients uncovered a novel heterozygous nonsense variant in Elongation factor Tu GTP-binding domain-containing 2 (EFTUD2) causing mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM), which clinically overlaps with OAVS. CONCLUSION Detailed clinical evaluation for any patient with OAVS is recommended due to a high rate of accompanying systemic findings. We further expand the existing genetic heterogeneity of OAVS by identifying several CNVs and a phenotypically overlapping disorder, MFDM.
