Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231810673. [PMID: 36142585 PMCID: PMC9505033 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231810673] [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: 08/14/2022] [Revised: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Skeletal Class III malocclusion with maxillary deficiency is a severe maxillofacial disease with unclear pathogenic mechanisms. We recruited a Han Chinese family who was clinically diagnosed with skeletal Class III malocclusion and maxillary deficiency. Using whole exome sequencing, a missense variant in ADAMTS2 (NM_014244: c.3506G>T: p.G1169V) was identified and predicted as deleterious by in silico tools. We also found ADAMTS2 variants associated with deficient maxillary development in a cohort. ADAMTS2 expression in HEK293 cells showed significant decrease due to the variant, which was also consistent in dental pulp stem cells from the proband and a healthy control. In the adamts2-knockdown zebrafish model, the length and width of the ethmoid plate, as well as the length of the palatoquadrate became significantly shorter than the control group (p < 0.001), while there was no significant difference in the length and width of the mandible. The expression of Sox3, which was required in early embryonic craniofacial development, was significantly downregulated in the adamts2-knockdown zebrafish embryos. Bioinformatic and cellular studies showed that the decreased expression of ADAMTS2 may inhibit downstream ErbB signaling pathway transduction and restrain subsequent osteogenesis in human adult mesenchymal stromal cells. Collectively, these data showed that ADAMTS2 (c.3506G>T: p.G1169V) may confer susceptibility to risk of skeletal Class III malocclusion with maxillary deficiency.

Abstract
Trio is a unique member of the Rho-GEF family that has three catalytic domains and is vital for various cellular processes in both physiological and developmental settings. TRIO mutations in humans are involved in craniofacial abnormalities, in which patients present with mandibular retrusion. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of Trio in neural crest cell (NCC)-derived craniofacial development, and there is still a lack of direct evidence to assign a functional role to Trio in NCC-induced craniofacial abnormalities. Methods: In vivo, we used zebrafish and NCC-specific knockout mouse models to investigate the phenotype and dynamics of NCC development in Trio morphants. In vitro, iTRAQ, GST pull-down assays, and proximity ligation assay (PLA) were used to explore the role of Trio and its potential downstream mediators in NCC migration and differentiation. Results: In zebrafish and mouse models, disruption of Trio elicited a migration deficit and impaired the differentiation of NCC derivatives, leading to craniofacial growth deficiency and mandibular retrusion. Moreover, Trio positively regulated Myh9 expression and directly interacted with Myh9 to coregulate downstream cellular signaling in NCCs. We further demonstrated that disruption of Trio or Myh9 inhibited Rac1 and Cdc42 activity, specifically affecting the nuclear export of β-catenin and NCC polarization. Remarkably, craniofacial abnormalities caused by trio deficiency in zebrafish could be partially rescued by the injection of mRNA encoding myh9, ca-Rac1, or ca-Cdc42. Conclusions: Here, we identified that Trio, interacting mostly with Myh9, acts as a key regulator of NCC migration and differentiation during craniofacial development. Our results indicate that trio morphant zebrafish and Wnt1-cre;Triofl/fl mice offer potential model systems to facilitate the study of the pathogenic mechanisms of Trio mutations causing craniofacial abnormalities.

Abstract
Aim: To investigate the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA regulome and nonsyndromic orofacial clefts. Materials & methods: The associations were evaluated by logistic regression model in stage I (504 cases and 455 controls) and stage II (1500 cases and 1386 controls). Functional experiments including luciferase activity assay, cell apoptosis and proliferation, serum miRNA expression, and mouse embryo RNA sequencing were performed. Results: Rs3830766 in the enhancer of hsa-miR-4260 was associated with cleft lip only (CLO) and enhancer activity. Hsa-miR-4260 expression decreased in the serum of CLO. Overexpression of miR-4260 inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis. UBB was the target gene of hsa-miR-4260. Conclusion: Rs3830766 in the hsa-miR-4260 enhancer that can interact with UBB was relevant to CLO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Craniofacial morphogenesis is the result of an intricate multistep network of tightly controlled spatial and temporal signalling that involves several molecules and transcription factors organized into highly coordinated pathways. Any alteration in even one step of this delicate process can lead to congenital malformations such as cleft palate. One of the first steps in embryonal orofacial development is the migration of cells from the neural crests to the branchial arches. Next, the cells have to proliferate, differentiate, move and connect to each other in order to correctly form the palate. Cell contraction, promoted by the interaction of non-muscle myosin II and actin A, is a crucial step in morphogenesis and is regulated by ROCK1 protein. METHODS A family-based association study was carried out in order to verify whether or not genetic variants of ROCK1 were associated with non-syndromic cleft palate (nsCP). Two cohorts from Italy and Iran, a total of 189 nsCP cases and their parents were enrolled. RESULTS The rs35996865-G allele was under-transmitted in cases of nsCP [P = .006, odds ratio (OR) = 0.63 (95% CI 0.45-0.88)]. CONCLUSION This investigation reveals for the first time data supporting a role for ROCK1 in nsCP aetiology.

Oral Dis 2018; 25:803-811. [PMID: 30578605 DOI: 10.1111/odi.13024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2018] [Revised: 12/02/2018] [Accepted: 12/07/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Non-syndromic tooth agenesis (NSTA) may share common genetic factors with non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were associated with individual's susceptibility to these anomalies. We selected five NSCL/P-associated SNPs from our previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) to test for the associations with NSTA. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 677 NSTA cases and 1,144 healthy controls were recruited in this case-control study. Five genome-wide NSCL/P-associated SNPs (rs2235371, rs7078160, rs8049367, rs4791774, and rs13041247) were genotyped by TaqMan platform and evaluated for the associations with NSTA using plink software. RESULTS No significant associations between these SNPs and risk of NSTA were observed in the overall analysis and subgroup analysis with the number of missing teeth. However, in the subgroup analysis by tooth position, rs8049367 was nominally associated with mandibular premolar agenesis (Dominant model: ORdom = 0.66, 95% CIdom = 0.47-0.93, pdom = 0.016; Heterozygote model: ORhet = 0.60, 95% CIhet = 0.41-0.88, Phet = 0.008). Rs4791774 showed a nominal association with congenitally missing maxillary canine (Dominant model: ORdom = 0.53, 95% CIdom = 0.28-0.98, pdom = 0.041; Heterozygote model: ORhet = 0.50, 95% CIhet = 0.26-0.97, Phet = 0.041) and premolar (Additive model: OR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.36-0.96, p = 0.035). CONCLUSION This study showed that NSCL/P susceptible loci rs8049367 and rs4791774 were probably associated with the risk of NSTA.
