Integrated profiling identifies DXS253E as a potential prognostic marker in colorectal cancer. Cancer Cell Int 2024; 24:213. [PMID: 38890691 PMCID: PMC11186088 DOI: 10.1186/s12935-024-03403-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence suggests that DXS253E is critical for cancer development and progression, but the function and potential mechanism of DXS253E in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain largely unknown. In this study, we evaluated the clinical significance and explored the underlying mechanism of DXS253E in CRC. METHODS DXS253E expression in cancer tissues was investigated using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. The Kaplan-Meier plot was used to assess the prognosis of DXS253E. The cBioPortal, MethSurv, and Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) databases were employed to analyze the mutation profile, methylation, and immune infiltration associated with DXS253E. The biological functions of DXS253E in CRC cells were determined by CCK-8 assay, plate cloning assay, Transwell assay, flow cytometry, lactate assay, western blot, and qRT-PCR. RESULTS DXS253E was upregulated in CRC tissues and high DXS253E expression levels were correlated with poor survival in CRC patients. Our bioinformatics analyses showed that high DXS253E gene methylation levels were associated with the favorable prognosis of CRC patients. Furthermore, DXS253E levels were linked to the expression levels of several immunomodulatory genes and an abundance of immune cells. Mechanistically, the overexpression of DXS253E enhanced proliferation, migration, invasion, and the aerobic glycolysis of CRC cells through the AKT/mTOR pathway. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that DXS253E functions as a potential role in CRC progression and may serve as an indicator of outcomes and a therapeutic target for regulating the AKT/mTOR pathway in CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Short stature, amelogenesis imperfecta, and skeletal dysplasia with scoliosis is a rare, autosomal recessive, skeletal disorder first described in 2018. This syndrome starts with pre- and postnatal developmental delay, and gradually presents with variable facial dysmorphisms, a short stature, amelogenesis imperfecta, and progressive skeletal dysplasia affecting the limbs, joints, hands, feet, and spine. CASE PRESENTATION We identified a homozygous novel nonsense mutation in exon 1 of SLC10A7 (NM_001300842.2: c.100G > T / p.Gly34*) segregating with the typical disease phenotype in a Han Chinese family. We reviewed the 12-year surgical treatment history with seven interventions on spine. CONCLUSION To date, only 12 cases of the SLC10A7 mutation have been reported, mainly from consanguineous families. Our patient showed a relatively severe and broad clinical phenotype compared with previously reported cases. In this patient, annual check-ups and timely surgeries led to a good outcome.

Abstract
The sodium-dependent organic anion transporter (SOAT, gene symbol SLC10A6) specifically transports 3'- and 17'-monosulfated steroid hormones, such as estrone sulfate and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, into specific target cells. These biologically inactive sulfo-conjugated steroids occur in high concentrations in the blood circulation and serve as precursors for the intracrine formation of active estrogens and androgens that contribute to the overall regulation of steroids in many peripheral tissues. Although SOAT expression has been detected in several hormone-responsive peripheral tissues, its quantitative contribution to steroid sulfate uptake in different organs is still not completely clear. Given this fact, the present review provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge about the SOAT by summarizing all experimental findings obtained since its first cloning in 2004 and by processing SOAT/SLC10A6-related data from genome-wide protein and mRNA expression databases. In conclusion, despite a significantly increased understanding of the function and physiological significance of the SOAT over the past 20 years, further studies are needed to finally establish it as a potential drug target for endocrine-based therapy of steroid-responsive diseases such as hormone-dependent breast cancer.

Amelogenesis imperfecta: Next-generation sequencing sheds light on Witkop's classification. Front Physiol 2023; 14:1130175. [PMID: 37228816 PMCID: PMC10205041 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1130175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a heterogeneous group of genetic rare diseases disrupting enamel development (Smith et al., Front Physiol, 2017a, 8, 333). The clinical enamel phenotypes can be described as hypoplastic, hypomineralized or hypomature and serve as a basis, together with the mode of inheritance, to Witkop's classification (Witkop, J Oral Pathol, 1988, 17, 547-553). AI can be described in isolation or associated with others symptoms in syndromes. Its occurrence was estimated to range from 1/700 to 1/14,000. More than 70 genes have currently been identified as causative. Objectives: We analyzed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) a heterogeneous cohort of AI patients in order to determine the molecular etiology of AI and to improve diagnosis and disease management. Methods: Individuals presenting with so called "isolated" or syndromic AI were enrolled and examined at the Reference Centre for Rare Oral and Dental Diseases (O-Rares) using D4/phenodent protocol (www.phenodent.org). Families gave written informed consents for both phenotyping and molecular analysis and diagnosis using a dedicated NGS panel named GenoDENT. This panel explores currently simultaneously 567 genes. The study is registered under NCT01746121 and NCT02397824 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/). Results: GenoDENT obtained a 60% diagnostic rate. We reported genetics results for 221 persons divided between 115 AI index cases and their 106 associated relatives from a total of 111 families. From this index cohort, 73% were diagnosed with non-syndromic amelogenesis imperfecta and 27% with syndromic amelogenesis imperfecta. Each individual was classified according to the AI phenotype. Type I hypoplastic AI represented 61 individuals (53%), Type II hypomature AI affected 31 individuals (27%), Type III hypomineralized AI was diagnosed in 18 individuals (16%) and Type IV hypoplastic-hypomature AI with taurodontism concerned 5 individuals (4%). We validated the genetic diagnosis, with class 4 (likely pathogenic) or class 5 (pathogenic) variants, for 81% of the cohort, and identified candidate variants (variant of uncertain significance or VUS) for 19% of index cases. Among the 151 sequenced variants, 47 are newly reported and classified as class 4 or 5. The most frequently discovered genotypes were associated with MMP20 and FAM83H for isolated AI. FAM20A and LTBP3 genes were the most frequent genes identified for syndromic AI. Patients negative to the panel were resolved with exome sequencing elucidating for example the gene involved ie ACP4 or digenic inheritance. Conclusion: NGS GenoDENT panel is a validated and cost-efficient technique offering new perspectives to understand underlying molecular mechanisms of AI. Discovering variants in genes involved in syndromic AI (CNNM4, WDR72, FAM20A … ) transformed patient overall care. Unravelling the genetic basis of AI sheds light on Witkop's AI classification.

Torcular pseudomass is frequently detected on fetal magnetic resonance imaging and reduces with gestational age. Pediatr Radiol 2023; 53:470-478. [PMID: 36437371 DOI: 10.1007/s00247-022-05549-7] [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: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 09/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The torcular pseudomass is an incidental extra-axial midline mass located between the venous sinuses and the occipital squama in the pediatric population. Although this structure is presumed to be a developmental feature, it has not been characterized on fetal MRI. OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency, imaging features and longitudinal in utero evolution of torcular pseudomass using fetal MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS We present a single-center retrospective study of fetal MRI performed at a tertiary hospital. Two independent reviewers first ordinally scored torcular pseudomass as absent, focal, crescentic or bulky based on morphology. We reviewed available follow-up fetal and postnatal MRI and further classified torcular pseudomass as stable, involuted or progressive. We also collected clinical and demographic data from electronic charts and compared them among categories, corrected for multiple comparisons. RESULTS This study included a total of 219 fetuses with median gestational age of 28 weeks (interquartile range [IQR]: 23-32 weeks). Torcular pseudomass was absent in 8% (n=17) and present as a focal mass in 15% (n=33), crescentic in 45% (n=98) and bulky in 32% (n=71) of the cases. Median gestational age was statistically different among torcular pseudomass categories and inversely associated with size. Follow-up fetal MRI was available in 9.6% (n=21) of cases (median interval 4 weeks; IQR: 2-9 weeks) and torcular pseudomass in these cases was classified as stable in 67% (n=14), involuted in 29% (n=6) and progressive in 5% (n=1). Postnatal MRI was available in 5% (n=12) of fetuses (median interval 11.5 months, IQR: 3-17 months), and among these cases torcular pseudomass was classified as stable in 33% (n=4) and involuted in 67% (n=8). CONCLUSION Torcular pseudomass is highly prevalent in the fetal population and shows a natural tendency to involute, even in utero, although it sometimes persists during early infanthood.

SLC10A7, an orphan member of the SLC10 family involved in congenital disorders of glycosylation. Hum Genet 2022; 141:1287-1298.

Abstract
SLC10A7, encoded by the so-called SLC10A7 gene, is the seventh member of a human sodium/bile acid cotransporter family, known as the SLC10 family. Despite similarities with the other members of the SLC10 family, SLC10A7 does not exhibit any transport activity for the typical SLC10 substrates and is then considered yet as an orphan carrier. Recently, SLC10A7 mutations have been identified as responsible for a new Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (CDG). CDG are a family of rare and inherited metabolic disorders, where glycosylation abnormalities lead to multisystemic defects. SLC10A7-CDG patients presented skeletal dysplasia with multiple large joint dislocations, short stature and amelogenesis imperfecta likely mediated by glycosaminoglycan (GAG) defects. Although it has been demonstrated that the transporter and substrate specificities of SLC10A7, if any, differ from those of the main members of the protein family, SLC10A7 seems to play a role in Ca2+ regulation and is involved in proper glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis, especially heparan-sulfate, and N-glycosylation. This paper will review our current knowledge on the known and predicted structural and functional properties of this fascinating protein, and its link with the glycosylation process.

Abstract
The biomechanical and biochemical properties of connective tissues are determined by the composition and quality of their extracellular matrix. This, in turn, is highly dependent on the function and organisation of the secretory pathway. The Golgi complex plays a vital role in directing matrix output by co-ordinating the post-translational modification and proteolytic processing of matrix components prior to their secretion. These modifications have broad impacts on the secretion and subsequent assembly of matrix components, as well as their function in the extracellular environment. In this Review, we highlight the role of the Golgi in the formation of an adaptable, healthy matrix, with a focus on proteoglycan and procollagen secretion as example cargoes. We then discuss the impact of Golgi dysfunction on connective tissue in the context of human disease and ageing.

Abstract
The solute carrier family 10 member SLC10A7 is a negative regulator of intracellular calcium signaling (RCAS). In cell culture, SLC10A7 expression is negatively correlated with store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) via the plasma membrane. SLC10A7-deficient cells have significantly increased calcium influx after treatment with thapsigargin for depletion of ER calcium stores, whereas SLC10A7/RCAS overexpression limits calcium influx. Genetic variants in the human SLC10A7 gene are associated with skeletal dysplasia and amelogenesis imperfecta and reveal loss of function on cellular calcium influx. More recently, an additional disease-related genetic variant (P303L) as well as some novel genetic variants (V235F, T221M, I136M, L210F, P285L, and G146S) have been identified. In the present study, these variants were expressed in HEK293 cells to study their subcellular localization and their effect on cellular calcium influx. All variants were properly sorted to the ER compartment and closely co-localized with the STIM protein, a functional component of SOCE. The variants P303L and L210F showed significantly reduced effects on cellular calcium influx compared to the wild type but still maintained some degree of residual activity. This might explain the milder phenotype of patients bearing the P303L variant and might indicate disease potential for the newly identified L210F variant. In contrast, all other variants behaved like the wild type. In conclusion, the occurrence of variants in the SLC10A7 gene should be considered in patients with skeletal dysplasia and amelogenesis imperfecta. In addition to the already established variants, the present study identifies another potential disease-related SLC10A7/RCAS variant, namely, L210F, which seems to be most frequent in South Asian populations.

The evolving genetic landscape of congenital disorders of glycosylation. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2021; 1865:129976. [PMID: 34358634 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2021.129976] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Accepted: 07/30/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) are an expanding and complex group of rare genetic disorders caused by defects in the glycosylation of proteins and lipids. The genetic spectrum of CDG is extremely broad with mutations in over 140 genes leading to a wide variety of symptoms ranging from mild to severe and life-threatening. There has been an expansion in the genetic complexity of CDG in recent years. More specifically several examples of alternate phenotypes in recessive forms of CDG and new types of CDG following an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern have been identified. In addition, novel genetic mechanisms such as expansion repeats have been reported and several already known disorders have been classified as CDG as their pathophysiology was better elucidated. Furthermore, we consider the future and outlook of CDG genetics, with a focus on exploration of the non-coding genome using whole genome sequencing, RNA-seq and multi-omics technology.

Dubail J, Cormier-Daire V. Chondrodysplasias With Multiple Dislocations Caused by Defects in Glycosaminoglycan Synthesis. Front Genet 2021; 12:642097. [PMID: 34220933 PMCID: PMC8242584 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2021.642097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2020] [Accepted: 05/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Chondrodysplasias with multiple dislocations form a group of severe disorders characterized by joint laxity and multiple dislocations, severe short stature of pre- and post-natal onset, hand anomalies, and/or vertebral anomalies. The majority of chondrodysplasias with multiple dislocations have been associated with mutations in genes encoding glycosyltransferases, sulfotransferases, and transporters implicated in the synthesis or sulfation of glycosaminoglycans, long and unbranched polysaccharides composed of repeated disaccharide bond to protein core of proteoglycan. Glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis is a tightly regulated process that occurs mainly in the Golgi and that requires the coordinated action of numerous enzymes and transporters as well as an adequate Golgi environment. Any disturbances of this chain of reactions will lead to the incapacity of a cell to construct correct glycanic chains. This review focuses on genetic and glycobiological studies of chondrodysplasias with multiple dislocations associated with glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis defects and related animal models. Strong comprehension of the molecular mechanisms leading to those disorders, mostly through extensive phenotypic analyses of in vitro and/or in vivo models, is essential for the development of novel biomarkers for clinical screenings and innovative therapeutics for these diseases.

[PMID: 32991969 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2020.129751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 72] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2020] [Revised: 08/12/2020] [Accepted: 08/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are inherited metabolic diseases caused by defects in the genes important for the process of protein and lipid glycosylation. With the ever growing number of the known subtypes and discoveries regarding the disease mechanisms and therapy development, it remains a very active field of study. SCOPE OF REVIEW This review brings an update on the CDG-related research since 2017, describing the novel gene defects, pathobiomechanisms, biomarkers and the patients' phenotypes. We also summarize the clinical guidelines for the most prevalent disorders and the current therapeutical options for the treatable CDG. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS In the majority of the 23 new CDG, neurological involvement is associated with other organ disease. Increasingly, different aspects of cellular metabolism (e.g., autophagy) are found to be perturbed in multiple CDG. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE This work highlights the recent trends in the CDG field and comprehensively overviews the up-to-date clinical recommendations.

The orphan solute carrier SLC10A7 is a novel negative regulator of intracellular calcium signaling. Sci Rep 2020; 10:7248. [PMID: 32350310 PMCID: PMC7190670 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-64006-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2020] [Accepted: 04/07/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
SLC10A7 represents an orphan member of the Solute Carrier Family SLC10. Recently, mutations in the human SLC10A7 gene were associated with skeletal dysplasia, amelogenesis imperfecta, and decreased bone mineral density. However, the exact molecular function of SLC10A7 and the mechanisms underlying these pathologies are still unknown. For this reason, the role of SLC10A7 on intracellular calcium signaling was investigated. SLC10A7 protein expression was negatively correlated with store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) via the plasma membrane. Whereas SLC10A7 knockout HAP1 cells showed significantly increased calcium influx after thapsigargin, ionomycin and ATP/carbachol treatment, SLC10A7 overexpression reduced this calcium influx. Intracellular Ca2+ levels were higher in the SLC10A7 knockout cells and lower in the SLC10A7-overexpressing cells. The SLC10A7 protein co-localized with STIM1, Orai1, and SERCA2. Most of the previously described human SLC10A7 mutations had no effect on the calcium influx and thus were confirmed to be functionally inactive. In the present study, SLC10A7 was established as a novel negative regulator of intracellular calcium signaling that most likely acts via STIM1, Orai1 and/or SERCA2 inhibition. Based on this, SLC10A7 is suggested to be named as negative regulator of intracellular calcium signaling (in short: RCAS).
