BackgroundProgressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2) is a rare disorder caused by variants in the ABCB11 gene encoding the bile salt export pump (BSEP). We investigated the molecular defect in a PFIC2 infant and rescued the splicing defect with antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs).MethodsWhole-exome sequencing (WES) revealed compound heterozygous variants in the ABCB11 gene in a PFIC2 patient. Liver biopsy was immunostained for BSEP. The splicing effect of the candidate variants was investigated by minigene assay. ASOs were designed to rescue aberrant splicing.ResultsA Chinese girl of two nonconsanguineous healthy parents suffered from low glutamyl transpeptidase cholestasis and showed no response to the ursodeoxycholic acid. WES revealed that the patient was compound heterozygous for two novel variants in the ABCB11 gene: c.76+29T>G and c.390–2A>G. Liver immunohistochemistry showed the absence of BSEP. The variant c.76+29T>G was confirmed to retain 42 bp in the mature mRNA. The variant c.390–2A>G was confirmed to cause exon 6 skipping. We designed two ASOs and identified one of them that efficiently induced pseudoexon exclusion.ConclusionWe reported two novel variants of the ABCB11 gene, c.76+29T>G and c.390-2A>G, in a PFIC2 infant, thereby expanding the genotype of PFIC2. Our findings provide evidence for ASOs as a therapeutic approach for PFIC2 patients carrying intronic variants. 相似文献

Defects in transport proteins that are expressed at the hepatocyte canalicular membrane can cause severe impairment of hepatobiliary transport processes. Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) typically manifests in early childhood. Genetic variants in the aminophospholipid transporter FIC1 (ATP8B1 gene) cause PFIC1, characterized by elevated serum bile acids but normal or only mildly elevated gamma-GT levels. Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 (BRIC1) is also caused by ATP8B1 mutations. Defects in the function of the bile salt efflux pump (BSEP; ABCB11) cause PFIC2 or BRIC2, depending on the degree of BSEP impairment. A common BSEP variant, the V444A polymorphism, is commonly found in various types of cholestatic liver injury, including drug-induced liver injury. Finally, dysfunction of the multidrug resistance gene product MDR3 (ABCB4) leads to PFIC3, characterized by low biliary phospholipids and high gamma-GT levels in serum due to bile duct injury. All three transporter genes are also associated with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. Treatment options include ursodeoxycholic acid for milder forms and liver transplantation for severe pediatric cases. 相似文献

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Inherited dysfunction of the bile salt export pump BSEP (ABCB11) causes a progressive and a benign form of familial intrahepatic cholestasis, denominated as PFIC2 and BRIC2, respectively. We functionally characterized novel ABCB11 mutations encountered in two patients with a PFIC2 and a BRIC2 phenotype, respectively. METHODS: BSEP expression was determined in liver biopsies by immunohistochemistry. ABCB11 mutations were functionally characterized by taurocholate transport in SF9 cells transfected with human ABCB11. RESULTS: The PFIC2 patient was compound heterozygous for a splicing mutation in intron 4 ((+3)A > C) combined with an early stop codon at position 930 (R930X), while the BRIC2 patient was compound heterozygous for two nonsynonymous mutations in exon 9 (E297G) and exon 12 (R432T), respectively. Hepatic BSEP expression was absent in PFIC2 and preserved in BRIC2. In BRIC2, taurocholate transport was decreased to 13% and 20% of reference levels for R432T and E297G, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The intron 4 (+3)A > C, R930X and R432T represent previously undescribed mutations of the ABCB11 gene that confer a PFIC2 and a BRIC2 phenotype, respectively. By combining functional in-vitro characterization with immunohistochemical detection of variant BSEP we provide direct evidence for the role of ABCB11 mutations in the pathogenesis of different forms of intrahepatic cholestasis. 相似文献

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a heterogeneous group of autosomal disorders. PFIC type 2 is due to mutation in ABCB11, the gene encoding the bile salt export pump (BSEP) protein. The aim of the study was to describe a child with a de novo mutation in a compound heterozygous for ABCB11 gene. We report a 1.7‐year‐old girl who presented with pruritus, jaundice and liver dysfunction of PFIC type 2. Immunohistochemistry and molecular analysis are described. Liver biopsy showed micronodular cirrhosis and immunohistochemical staining for BSEP, the protein encoded by ABCB11, displayed a patchy and faint reactivity. Molecular analysis revealed two novel mutations of ABCB11. We give details that one mutation is transmitted by the mother while the second one appears a de novo mutation as mutations or a potential mosaicism were ruled out in the natural father. We further speculate that the ABCB11 mutations do not prevent BSEP glycoprotein to be expressed at the canalicular pole of hepatocytes, but interfere with its ability to export bile salts. As in most instances, mutational analysis is performed following the histochemical demonstration of an undetectable BSEP on liver biopsy specimen. This case stresses that clinical PFIC with an attenuated rather than absent BSEP immunostaining can still be due to ABCB11 mutations presumably encoding a functionally deficient protein. 相似文献

Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2) is a rare cholestatic disorder diagnosed in infancy or childhood that can lead to severe hepatic fibrosis and liver failure. Mutations in the ABCB11 gene result in a deficiency of the bile salt export protein (BSEP) and accumulation of bile inside the hepatocytes. Hepatocellular carcinoma is another condition associated with severe forms of deletion mutations in the ABCB11 gene. Treatment options including ursodeoxycholic acid biliary diversion have mixed outcomes and some patients require liver transplantation. Here, we describe two siblings with an extremely mild form of PFIC2 inherited from heterozygous parents. The elder sibling had acute liver failure at the age of six months and both siblings had pruritus, cholestasis, coagulopathy and fat-soluble-vitamin deficiencies in infancy but have been asymptomatic past infancy. Genetic testing of the siblings revealed that each were compound heterozygotes for two missense mutations of the ABCB11 gene: p.C68Y and p.R832H. Medical treatment typical for PFIC2 has not been necessary for either patient. This is the first report of these variants following a mild course in two affected patients. 相似文献

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) type 2 is caused by mutations in ABCB11, which encodes bile salt export pump (BSEP). We report a Thai female infant who presented with progressive cholestatic jaundice since 1 mo of age, with normal serum y-glutamyltransferase. Immunohistochemical staining of the liver did not demonstrate BSEP along the canaliculi, while multidrug resistance protein 3 was expressed adequately. Novel mutations in ABCB11, a four-nucleotide deletion in exon 3, c.90_93delGAAA, and a single-nucleotide insertion in exon 5, c.249_250insT, were identified, with confirmation in her parents. These mutations were predicted to lead to synthesis of truncated forms of BSEP. Immunostaining and mutation analysis thus established the diagnosis of PFIC type 相似文献

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is rare in young children. We attempted to see if immunohistochemical and mutational-analysis studies could demonstrate that deficiency of the canalicular bile acid transporter bile salt export pump (BSEP) and mutation in ABCB11, encoding BSEP, underlay progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC)--or "neonatal hepatitis" suggesting PFIC--that was associated with HCC in young children. We studied 11 cases of pediatric HCC in the setting of PFIC or "neonatal hepatitis" suggesting PFIC. Archival liver were retrieved and immunostained for BSEP. Mutational analysis of ABCB11 was performed in leukocyte DNA from available patients and parents. Among the 11 nonrelated children studied aged 13-52 months at diagnosis of HCC, 9 (and a full sibling, with neonatal hepatitis suggesting PFIC, of a tenth from whom liver was not available) had immunohistochemical evidence of BSEP deficiency; the eleventh child did not. Mutations in ABCB11 were demonstrated in all patients with BSEP deficiency in whom leukocyte DNA could be studied (n = 7). These mutations were confirmed in the parents (n = 14). With respect to the other 3 children with BSEP deficiency, mutations in ABCB11 were demonstrated in all 5 parents in whom leukocyte DNA could be studied. Thirteen different mutations were found. In conclusion, PFIC associated with BSEP deficiency represents a previously unrecognized risk for HCC in young children. Immunohistochemical evidence of BSEP deficiency correlates well with demonstrable mutation in ABCB11. 相似文献

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) and benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) are hereditary liver disorders; PFIC is characterized by severe progressive liver disease whereas BRIC patients have intermittent attacks of cholestasis without permanent liver damage. Mutations in ATP8B1 are present in PFIC type 1 and in a subset of BRIC patients. We hypothesized that a genetically distinct form of BRIC is associated with mutations in ABCB11. This gene encodes the bile salt export pump (BSEP) and is mutated in PFIC type 2. METHODS: Patients from 20 families were included; all had a normal ATP8B1 sequence. Sequencing of all 27 coding exons including the splice junctions of ABCB11 revealed 8 distinct mutations in 11 patients from 8 different families: one homozygous missense mutation (E297G) previously described in PFIC2 patients, 6 novel missense mutations, and one putative splice site mutation. RESULTS: In 12 families, no mutations in ATB8B1 or ABCB11 were detected. Pancreatitis is a known extrahepatic symptom in BRIC caused by ATP8B1 mutations, but was not present in BRIC patients with mutations in ABCB11. In contrast, cholelithiasis was observed in 7 of 11 BRIC patients with mutations in ABCB11, but has not been described in ATP8B1-affected BRIC patients. CONCLUSIONS: Mutations in ABCB11 are associated with BRIC, and consistent with the genetic classification of PFIC into 2 subtypes, we propose that this disorder be named BRIC type 2. 相似文献

Background and Aim: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2) results from genetic defects of the hepatobiliary bile salt export pump (BSEP, ABCB11 ) at chromosome 2q24. Patients with progressive cholestasis and liver cirrhosis usually need liver transplantation in the first decade. Mutations in ABCB11 are also associated with benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy in adult patients. We aimed to make the prenatal diagnosis of PFIC2.
Methods: Genetic diagnosis was performed by genomic DNA analysis. Prenatal genetic diagnosis was made by fetal amniotic DNA and chorionic DNA analysis.
Results: We report on two families of PFIC2 with inherited compound heterozygous mutations of ABCB11 (M183V and R303K in Family 1, V284L and 1145delC in Family 2) from the parents. An infant with heterozygous M183V mutation was later born healthy in Family 1. A fetus with compound heterozygous missense mutation V284L and 1145delC was terminated in Family 2.
Conclusion: Prenatal diagnosis of PFIC2 was helpful to prevent further affected children in families with this fatal disease. 相似文献

BackgroundProgressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) includes autosomal recessive cholestatic rare diseases of childhood.AimsTo update the panel of single genes mutations involved in familial cholestasis.MethodsPubMed search for “familial intrahepatic cholestasis” alone as well as in combination with other key words was performed considering primarily original studies and meta-analyses.ResultsPFIC1 involves ATP8B1 gene encoding for aminophospholipid flippase FIC1. PFIC2 includes ABCB11 gene, encoding for protein functioning as bile salt export pump. PFIC3 is due to mutations of ABCB4 gene responsible for the synthesis of class III multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein flippase. PFIC4 and PFIC5 involve tight junction protein-2 gene and NR1H4 gene encoding for farnesoid X receptor. Benign Intrahepatic Cholestasis, Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy and Low-phospholipid-associated cholelithiasis involve the same genes and are characterized by intermittent attacks of cholestasis, no progression to cirrhosis, reversible pregnancy-specific cholestasis and cholelithiasis in young people. Blood and liver tissue levels of bile-excreted drugs can be influenced by the presence of mutations in PFIC genes, causing drug-induced cholestasis. Mutations in PFIC genes might increase the risk of liver cancer.ConclusionThere is a high proportion of unexplained cholestasis potentially caused by specific genetic pathophysiologic pathways. The use of next generation sequencing and whole-exome sequencing could improve the diagnostic process in this setting. 相似文献

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive cholestatic diseases of childhood and represents the main indication for liver transplantation at this age; PFIC2 involves ABCB11 gene, that encodes the ATP-dependent canalicular bile salt export pump (BSEP). Benign intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) identifies a group of diseases involving the same genes and characterized by intermittent attacks of cholestasis with no progression to liver cirrhosis. Diagnosis with standard sequencing techniques is expensive and available only at a few tertiary centers. We report the application of next generation sequencing (NGS) in the diagnosis of the familial intrahepatic cholestasis with a parallel sequencing of three causative genes. We identified the molecular defects in ABCB11 gene in two different probands who developed a severe cholestatic disease of unknown origin. In the first patient a compound heterozygosity for the novel frameshift mutation p.Ser1100GlnfsX38 and the missense variant p.Glu135Lys was detected. In the second patient, triggered by contraceptive therapy, we identified homozygosity for a novel mis-sense variant p.Ala523Gly. In conclusion, these mutations seem to have a late onset and a less aggressive clinical impact, acting as an intermediate form between BRIC and PFIC. 相似文献

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC), an inherited liver disease of childhood, is characterized by cholestasis and either normal or increased serum gamma-glutamyltransferase activity. Patients with normal gamma-glutamyltransferase activity have mutations of the FIC1 locus on chromosome 18q21 or mutations of the BSEP gene on chromosome 2q24. Also, patients with bile acid synthesis defects have low gamma-glutamyltransferase activity. We investigated expression of the bile salt export pump (BSEP) in liver samples from patients with a PFIC phenotype and correlated this with BSEP gene mutations. METHODS: BSEP and multidrug resistance protein 2 (MRP2) expressions were studied by immunohistochemistry in liver specimens of 28 patients and BSEP gene mutation analysis in 19 patients. Bile salt kinetics were studied in 1 patient. RESULTS: Sixteen of 28 liver samples showed no canalicular BSEP staining. Staining for MRP2 showed a normal canalicular pattern in all but 1 of these samples. Ten of 19 patients showed BSEP gene mutations; BSEP protein expression was lacking in all 10 patients. No mutations were found in 9 of 19 patients, and in all except 1, BSEP protein expression was normal. Bile salt concentration in bile of BSEP-negative/MRP2-positive PFIC patients was 0.2 +/- 0.2 mmol/L (n = 9; <1% of normal) and in BSEP-positive PFIC patients 18.1 +/- 9.9 mmol/L (n = 3; 40% of normal). The kinetic study confirmed the dramatic decrease of bile salt secretion in BSEP-negative patients. CONCLUSIONS: The findings show a close correlation between BSEP gene mutations and canalicular BSEP expression. Biliary secretion of bile salts is greatly reduced in BSEP-negative patients. 相似文献

Background. Diagnosis of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a challenging matter that involves the summation of clinical, laboratory, radiological, and liver histological parameters; in addition to specific investigations to exclude other causes of neonatal cholestasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate liver tissue immunohistochemistry of bile salt export pump (BSEP) and multidrug resistance 3 (MDR3) proteins in differentiating PFIC from other causes of neonatal cholestasis, particularly, when genotyping is unavailable.Material and methods. The study included 25 patients diagnosed phenotypically as PFIC including 2 with PFIC1, 17 with PFIC2 and 6 with PFIC3. A second group of 25 cholestatic newborns with confirmed etiologies other than PFIC, termed as non-PFIC, included as controls. Liver biopsies from all patients were obtained and immunostained for BSEP and MDR3.Results. Negative immunoreaction of BSEP and MDR3 was found in the majority of PFIC group (76 and 64% respectively). Nonetheless, the negative immunoreaction was demonstrated in a considerable number of the non-PFIC group. BSEP immunoreaction was negative in the majority (82.4%) of PFIC2 but in none of the two patients with PFIC1. In addition, negative MDR3 immunoreaction was more frequently associated with PFIC3 compared to non-PFIC group.Conclusion. MDR3 and BSEP immunostaining would be a helpful tool in supporting the phenotypic diagnosis of PFIC subtypes and in differentiating PFIC from other causes of neonatal cholestasis. 相似文献

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC 2) results from mutations in ABCB11 gene coding bile salt export pump (BSEP). Medical treatment is usually unsuccessful and surgery intervention is necessary. Partial external biliary diversion (PEBD) is regarded as the first choice of surgical treatment. Ileal exclusion (IE) is an alternative operation if external stoma is not tolerated; however, a favorable outcome is uncertain. In chronic liver diseases pregnancy brings additional risk of deterioration of liver function and generally is not recommended. We present the first case report of successful pregnancy in a genetically confirmed PFIC 2 patient after surgical conversion from PEBD to IE. 相似文献

Background: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2) is a severe autosomal recessive liver disorder of childhood that can cause cholestasis and progress to end‐stage liver disease. ABCB11 gene mutations causing PFIC2 have been reported in some population groups, but not in mainland Chinese. Aims: To elucidate the existence of and characterize ABCB11 gene mutations in mainland Chinese with progressive intrahepatic cholestasis and low γ glutamyltransferase (GGT). Methods: Twenty‐four children presenting with progressive intrahepatic cholestasis and low GGT were admitted to a tertiary paediatric hospital in eastern China from January 2004 to July 2007. All encoding exons and flanking areas of the ABCB11 gene were sequenced. Hepatic histopathology results were obtained by review of the medical record. Results: Twelve novel mutations of ABCB11 gene were found in seven patients: three nonsense mutations, six missense mutations, two splicing mutations and one intronic mutation. Giant cell transformation of hepatocytes was demonstrated in all the four patients with ABCB11 mutations and four of 12 patients without mutations in coding sequences of ABCB11 gene who received liver needle biopsy. Conclusions: ABCB11 gene mutations play an important role in Chinese patients with progressive intrahepatic cholestasis and low GGT. The characteristics of ABCB11 gene mutations in Chinese are different from other population groups. Histological examination may be helpful in diagnosis of PFIC2. 相似文献

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) syndromes are characterized by defects in transporters of conjugated
bile acids into the bile canaliculus. Three genes (ATP8B1, ABCB11, ABCB4) are associated with the different forms, but no easy genotype–phenotype correlations help in the prioritization for gene
testing. We developed a denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) method to screen patients with PFIC for
mutations in ATP8B1 and ABCB11, and combined genetic analyses with immunolabeling in liver for the ABCB11 and ABCB4 gene products. Used in combination with commercially available antibodies on liver specimens, the DHPLC approach allowed
us to confirm the clinical diagnosis in two Italian sisters and to identify a novel missesnse mutation in ABCB11. Our findings are expected to facilitate detection of the molecular cause of PFIC in affected families. 相似文献

Genotyping is conclusive for the diagnosis of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3(PFIC3). Here we report a Chinese patient of PFIC3 with compound mutations in the ABCB4 gene. Liver biopsy was performed on a 17-year-old male patient with intrahepatic cholestasis of unknown etiology. Liver histology findings are indicative of intrahepatic cholestasis with extensive fibrosis. Genotyping revealed c.175C>T(p.L59L) mutation in exon 4, c.504C>T(p.N168N) mutation in exon 6, c.711A>T(p.I237I) mutation in exon 8, c.874A>T(p.K292X) in exon 9 and a novel mutation, c.1804G>T(p.G602W) in exon 15. Based on these findings, the patient was diagnosed with PFIC3. The novel mutation p.G602 W in exon 15 was predicted as probably damaging by Poly Phen-2 with a score of 0.986(sensitivity: 0.54; specificity: 0.94) and was predicted to affect protein function with a SIFT score of 0.01. 相似文献
