Mutations of the human cationic trypsinogen gene (PRSS1) are frequently found in association with hereditary pancreatitis. The most frequent variants p.N29I and p.R122H are recognized as disease‐causing mutations. Three pseudogene paralogs in the human trypsinogen family, including trypsinogen 6 (PRSS3P2), carry sequence variations in exon 3 that mimic the p.R122H mutation. In routine genetic testing of patients with chronic pancreatitis, we identified in two unrelated individuals similar gene conversion events of 24–71 nucleotides length between exon 3 of the PRSS1 (acceptor) and PRSS3P2 (donor) genes. The converted allele resulted in three nonsynonymous alterations c.343T>A (p.S115T), c.347G>C (p.R116P), and c.365_366delinsAT (p.R122H). Functional analysis of the conversion triple mutant revealed markedly increased autoactivation resulting in high and sustained trypsin activity in the presence of chymotrypsin C. This activation phenotype was identical to that of the p.R122H mutant. In addition, cellular secretion of the triple mutant from transfected HEK 293T cells was increased about twofold and this effect was attributable to mutation p.R116P. Our observations confirm and extend the notion that recombination events between members of the trypsinogen family can generate high‐risk PRSS1 alleles. The pathogenic phenotype of the novel conversion is explained by a unique combination of increased trypsinogen activation and secretion. 相似文献

The human pancreas secretes two major trypsinogen isoforms, cationic and anionic trypsinogen. To date, 19 genetic variants have been identified in the cationic trypsinogen gene (PRSS1) of patients with hereditary, familial, or sporadic chronic pancreatitis. A common feature of cationic trypsinogen mutants studied so far is an increased propensity for autocatalytic activation (autoactivation). This is thought to lead to premature intrapancreatic digestive protease activation. In contrast, no pancreatitis-associated mutations have been found in the anionic trypsinogen gene (PRSS2), suggesting that this isoform might play a relatively unimportant role in pancreatitis. To challenge this notion, here we describe the unique properties of the E79K cationic trypsinogen mutation (c.235G>A), which was identified in three European families affected by sporadic or familial pancreatitis cases. In vitro analysis of recombinant wild-type and mutant enzymes revealed that catalytic activity of E79K trypsin was normal, and its inhibition by pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor was unaffected. Although the E79K mutation introduces a potential new tryptic cleavage site, autocatalytic degradation (autolysis) of E79K-trypsin was also unchanged. Furthermore, in contrast to previously characterized disease-causing mutations, E79K markedly inhibited autoactivation of cationic trypsinogen. Remarkably, however, E79K trypsin activated anionic trypsinogen two-fold better than wild-type cationic trypsin did, while the common pancreatitis-associated mutants R122H or N29I had no such effect. The observations not only suggest a novel mechanism of action for pancreatitis-associated trypsinogen mutations, but also highlight the importance of interactions between the two major trypsinogen isoforms in the development of genetically determined chronic pancreatitis. 相似文献

Ten years ago, the groundwork for the discovery of the genetic basis of chronic pancreatitis was laid by linkage analyses of large kindreds with autosomal dominant hereditary chronic pancreatitis. Subsequent candidate gene sequencing of the 7q35 chromosome region revealed a strong association of the c.365G > A (p.R122 H) mutation of the PRSS1 gene encoding cationic trypsinogen with hereditary pancreatitis. In the following years, further mutations of this gene were discovered in patients with hereditary or idiopathic chronic pancreatitis. In vitro the mutations increase autocatalytic conversion of trypsinogen to active trypsin and thus probably cause premature, intrapancreatic trypsinogen activation in vivo. The clinical presentation is highly variable, but most affected mutation carriers have relatively mild disease. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on trypsinogen mutations and their role in pancreatic diseases. 相似文献

Over the past 5 years, several gain-of-function missense mutations in the human cationic trypsinogen gene (PRSS1, OMIM 276000) have been associated with hereditary and/or sporadic pancreatitis. This study reports a new pancreatitis-associated mutation--R116C (CGT > TGT: c.346C > T)--in the gene. 相似文献

Several missense mutations, including R122H, N29I, K23R, A16V and D22G, in the cationic trypsinogen gene (PRSS1), have been associated with certain forms of hereditary pancreatitis (HP). Their occurrence in the idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP) and whether novel mutations could be identified in PRSS1 remain to be further evaluated. These were addressed by the mutational screening of the entire coding sequence and the intronic/exonic boundaries of the PRSS1 gene in 221 ICP subjects, using a previously established denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis technique. Among the known PRSS1 mutations, only the R122H was detected in a single subject and the A16V in two subjects in the cohort, strengthening that HP-associated PRSS1 mutations are rare in ICP. Additional missense mutations, including P36R, E79K, G83E, K92N and V123M, were identified once separately. By analogy with the known PRSS1 mutations, predisposition to pancreatitis by some of them, particularly the V123M autolysis cleavage site mutation, is suspected. Functional analysis is expected to clarify their possible medical consequences. 相似文献

Gene conversion--the substitution of genetic material from another gene--is recognized as the underlying cause of a growing number of genetic diseases. While in most cases conversion takes place between a normal gene and its pseudogene, here we report an occurrence of disease-associated gene conversion between two functional genes. Chronic pancreatitis in childhood is frequently associated with mutations of the cationic trypsinogen gene (serine protease 1; PRSS1). We have analyzed PRSS1 in 1106 patients with chronic pancreatitis, and identified a novel conversion event affecting exon 2 and the subsequent intron. The recombination replaced at least 289 nucleotides with the paralogous sequence from the anionic trypsinogen gene (serine protease 2; PRSS2), and resulted in the PRSS1 mutations c.86A > T and c.161A > G, causing the amino acid substitutions N29I and N54S, respectively. Analysis of the recombinant N29I-N54S double mutant cationic trypsinogen revealed increased autocatalytic activation, which was solely due to the N29I mutation. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that gene conversion between two functional paralogous trypsinogen genes can occur and cause genetically determined chronic pancreatitis. 相似文献

Over the past decade, gene conversion has been shown increasingly to be a cause of human disease. Through this process, a functional gene is converted into a mutant by a homologous, nonfunctional one. In this article, we demonstrate that gene conversion is a likely cause of the mutations of the human cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1) gene that are associated with hereditary or sporadic pancreatitis, including the R122H (CGC>CAT: c.365-366 GC>AT), N29I (AAC>ATC: c.86A>T), and A16V (GCC>GTC: c.47C>T) missense mutations. This hypothesis is strongly supported by four lines of observation. First, human group I trypsinogen genes are tandemly repeated and share a high sequence homology between them. Secondly, a possible donor sequence for each variant is present in the PRSS1 gene's paralog(s). Thirdly, there exist uninterrupted sequence tracts ranging from 30 to 114 bp in the putatively converted regions. Finally, Chi-like and palindromic sequences are found in the vicinity of these missense mutations. This theory, if correct, will make the pancreatitis-associated PRSS1 mutations a unique example, as it shows that a functional gene may be converted by several paralogs, and that such an event may even occur between two functional genes (i.e., the N29I mutation), resulting in disease. This adds further to the diversity of genetic mechanisms underlying human disease. In addition, this genetic finding provides, for the first time, concrete evidence of the contribution made by gene conversion to the molecular evolution of the human trypsinogen family. 相似文献

Several genetic factors have been well known to predispose one to chronic pancreatitis (CP). However, little is known about the genetic factors that may provide a protective effect against the disease. Having found a nonsense mutation (c.111C>A; Y37X) and a splicing mutation (IVS2+1G>A) in the cationic trypsinogen gene (protease, serine, 1; PRSS1) in alcoholics without the development of CP, but not in alcoholics with CP and patients with hereditary or idiopathic CP, we propose that while "gain of function" mutations in the PRSS1 gene predispose one to pancreatitis, "loss of function" mutations in the gene may protect one against the disease. 相似文献

Hereditary pancreatitis (HP) is an autosomal dominant disease. Two heterozygous missense mutations, R122H (R117H) and N29I (N21I), in the cationic trypsinogen gene have been clearly associated with HP. The 'self-destruct' model proposed for the R122H mutation is discussed in connection with the existing theory of pancreatitis, and the basic biochemistry and physiology of trypsinogen, with particular reference to R122 as the primary autolysis site of the cationic trypsinogen. Two different genetic mechanisms are identified which cause the R122H mutation, and gene conversion is the likely cause of the N29I mutation. A unifying model, which highlights an indirect impairment on the R122 autolysis site is hypothesised for the N29I mutation. Possible predisposition to pancreatitis by additional DNA variants in the gene, such as the A16V signal peptide cleavage site mutation and the K23R activation peptide cleavage site mutation is suspected, but not proven. Evidence of genetic heterogeneity of HP is reviewed and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutations detected in HP families are re-evaluated. Finally, large scale association studies are expected to clarify the additional variants' role in pancreatitis and to identify new HP genes. 相似文献

Cationic trypsinogen and cystic fibrosis mutations have been identified in pancreatitis patients, although no study has looked for mutations in both genes in the same patient. Pancreatitis can be induced by alcohol, although not all alcoholics develop pancreatitis. We hypothesize that this phenomenon is due to a genetic predisposition in persons with alcohol‐related pancreatitis. We performed sequence analysis of the cationic trypsinogen‐coding region in 46 alcohol‐related pancreatitis patients and 16 patients with pancreatitis due to causes other than alcohol. We also screened for 40 cystic fibrosis mutations including the 5T allele. No cationic trypsinogen mutations were identified. Cystic fibrosis mutation screening identified the ΔF508 mutation in two Caucasian alcoholic patients (P < 0.025). The cystic fibrosis mutation carrier frequency in African‐American alcoholic patients was 3%, which was not significantly increased compared with the normal carrier frequency. The frequency of the 5T allele was not significantly increased compared with the normal population carrier frequency in either racial group. These results may suggest a role for the cystic fibrosis gene in alcohol‐related pancreatitis but indicate that cationic trypsinogen mutations are not a common predisposing risk factor for alcohol‐related pancreatitis. A multicenter study is necessary to attain sufficient numbers to come to a conclusion. Am. J. Med. Genet. 94:120–124, 2000. © 2000 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

L1CAM gene mutations cause neurodevelopmental disorders collectively termed L1 syndrome. Insufficient information about L1CAM variants complicates clinical prognosis, genetic diagnosis and genetic counseling. We combined clinical data, in silico effect predictions and functional analysis of four L1CAM variants, p.I37N, p.T38M, p.M172I and p.D202Y, located to the two N‐terminal Ig‐like domains present in five families with symptoms of L1 syndrome. Software tools predicted destabilizing effects of p.I37N and p.D202Y but results for p.T38M and p.M172I were inconsistent. Cell surface expression of mutant proteins L1‐T38M, L1‐M172I and L1‐D202Y was normal. Conversely, L1‐I37N accumulated in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and showed temperature‐sensitive protein maturation suggesting that p.I37N induces protein misfolding. L1CAM‐mediated cell–cell aggregation was severely impaired by L1CAM variants p.I37N, p.M172I and p.D202Y but was preserved by the variant p.T38M. Our experimental data indicate that protein misfolding and accumulation in the ER affect function of the L1CAM variant p.I37N whereas the variants p.M172I and p.D202Y impair homophilic interaction at the cell surface. 相似文献

Hereditary pancreatitis (HP) is the most common form of chronic relapsing pancreatitis in childhood, and may account for ∼25% of adult cases with chronic idiopathic pancreatitis. Recently, an arginine-histidine (R117H) mutation within the cationic trypsinogen gene was found in 5/5 families studied with HP. In this study we report on the results of linkage and direct mutational analysis for the common R117H mutation examined in 8 nonrelated families with hereditary pancreatitis. Two-point linkage analysis with the 7q35 marker D7S676, done initially in 4 families, yielded lod scores that were positive in 2, negative in one, and weakly positive in one. Direct mutational analysis of exon 3 of the cationic trypsinogen gene in 6 families showed that all symptomatic individuals tested were heterozygous for the R117H mutation. Also, several asymptomatic but at-risk relatives were found to be heterozygous for this mutation. Affected individuals in the remaining 2 families did not have the mutation. Radiation hybrid mapping using the Genebridge 4 panel assigned the trypsinogen gene to chromosome region 7q35, 2.9 cR distal to ETS WI-9353 and 3.8 cR proximal the dinucleotide repeat marker D7S676. The negative linkage and absence of the trypsinogen mutation in 2/8 families suggest locus heterogeneity in HP. Analysis of the R117H mutation is useful in identifying presymptomatic “at-risk” relatives and in genetic counseling. Also, it can be useful in identifying children and adults with isolated chronic idiopathic pancreatitis. Am. J. Med. Genet. 77:47–53, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Susceptibility to alcoholic chronic pancreatitis (ACP) could be genetically determined. Mutations in cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1), cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), and serine protease inhibitor, Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) genes have been variably associated with both the hereditary and the idiopathic form of chronic pancreatitis (CP). Our aim was to analyze the three genes in ACP patients. Mutational screening was performed in 45 unrelated ACP patients and 34 patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD). No mutation of PRSS1 was found in ACP and ALD patients. Three mutations of CFTR were detected in four ACP patients with a prevalence (8.9%) not significantly different from that observed (3.0%) in ALD patients and from that expected (3.2%) in our geographical area. Neither compound heterozygotes for CFTR nor trans-heterozygotes for CFTR/SPINK1 were found. One ACP patient (2.2%) was found to carry the most common mutation (N34S) of SPINK1 compared to none of the ALD patients (P=NS). In five other patients (two with ACP and three with ALD) other rare variants, including P55S, were found. In contrast with the hereditary and the idiopathic forms of CP, in which mutations of PRSS1, CFTR, and SPINK1 genes may occur, ACP is still a "gene(s)-orphan" disease. The supposed genetic susceptibility to ACP relies on other yet unknown gene(s) which could affect the alcohol metabolism or modulate the pancreatic inflammatory response to alcohol abuse. 相似文献

Hereditary pancreatitis is an autosomal dominant disorder with incomplete penetrance. It is characterised by recurring episodes of severe abdominal pain and often presents in childhood. Recently, a mutation in the cationic trypsinogen gene was identified in this disease. Previously, only one mutation at residue 117 of the trypsinogen gene has been found in the five separate hereditary pancreatitis families, four from the USA and one from Italy. Alteration of the Arg117 site is believed to disrupt a fail-safe mechanism for the inactivation of trypsin, leading to autodigestion of the pancreas under certain conditions. Molecular analysis of the trypsinogen gene was carried out on a hereditary pancreatitis family from the UK. The same G to A mutation at residue 117 was identified in this family, suggesting that this is a common mutation in hereditary pancreatitis. 相似文献

Hereditary pancreatitis (HP) is a rare inherited disorder, characterised by recurrent episodes of pancreatitis often beginning in early childhood. The mode of inheritance suggests an autosomal dominant trait with incomplete penetrance. The gene, or at least one of the genes, responsible for hereditary pancreatitis has been mapped to the long arm of chromosome 7 and a missense mutation, an arginine to histidine substitution at residue 117 in the trypsinogen cationic gene (try4) has been shown to segregate with the HP phenotype. The aim of this work was to investigate the molecular basis of hereditary pancreatitis. This study was performed on 14 HP families. The five exons of the trypsinogen cationic gene were studied using a specific gene amplification assay combined with denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). The present paper describes three novel mutations, namely K23R and N29I and a deletion -28delTCC in the promoter region. We also found a polymorphism in exon 4, D162D. In eight of these families we found a mutation which segregates with the disease. A segregation analysis using microsatellite markers carried out on the other families suggests genetic heterogeneity in at least one of them. Our findings confirm the implication of the cationic trypsinogen gene in HP and highlight allelic diversity associated with this phenotype. We also show that the pattern of inheritance of HP is probably complex and that other genes may be involved in this genetic disease. 相似文献

For decades there has been slow progress in understanding pancreatic diseases, particularly acute and chronic pancreatitis. As a result, there were no significant advances in the management of these patients. Treatment was mostly directed towards symptomatic relief and management of complications. A simple clinical observation that multiple members of a large family are affected by acute and chronic pancreatitis, some at very young age and in the absence of any alcohol use, led physician-scientists of the Midwest Multicenter Pancreatic Study Group (investigators from the University of Cincinnati, University of Kentucky, and University of Pittsburgh) to investigate the genetic basis of hereditary pancreatitis. Using information from the human genome project, the hereditary pancreatitis gene was identified as the cationic trypsinogen gene (protease serine 1, PRSS1). This discovery has led to the identification of a number of other genes and their products playing role in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic pancreatitis. In the emerging picture of pathogenesis of acute and chronic pancreatitis, trypsin appears to play a central role. This newly acquired knowledge is setting the stage for new preventive and management strategies for hereditary and sporadic acute and chronic pancreatitis. 相似文献

Hereditary pancreatitis (OMIM 167800) is thought to be associated with a mutation of the exon 3 of cationic trypsinogen (Nature Genet (1996): 14:141–145). This paper reports sequence data of two independent families suffering from this disease. PCR amplificates from leukocyte or buccal swab DNA showed no mutation of exon 3 of cationic trypsinogen. Instead, in exon 2, an A-to-T tranversion was found that led to the substitution of Asn by Ile in the sixth amino acid of the active trypsin. In exons 4 and 5, silent mutations were found. In the other expressed trypsinogens, several homozygous alterations not associated to hereditary pancreatitis were identified. As a model of pathogenesis, we hypothesize that mutation of trypsinogen in exon 2 could lead to premature cleavage of the activation peptide of trypsinogen or to altered intracellular transport.

Homocystinuria is a rare inborn error of methionine metabolism caused by cystathionine β‐synthase (CBS) deficiency. The prevalence of homocystinuria in Qatar is 1:1,800 births, mainly due to a founder Qatari missense mutation, c.1006C>T; p.R336C (p.Arg336Cys). We characterized the structure–function relationship of the p.R336C‐mutant protein and investigated the effect of different chemical chaperones to restore p.R336C‐CBS activity using three models: in silico, ΔCBS yeast, and CRISPR/Cas9 p.R336C knock‐in HEK293T and HepG2 cell lines. Protein modeling suggested that the p.R336C induces severe conformational and structural changes, perhaps influencing CBS activity. Wild‐type CBS, but not the p.R336C mutant, was able to restore the yeast growth in ΔCBS‐deficient yeast in a complementation assay. The p.R336C knock‐in HEK293T and HepG2 cells decreased the level of CBS expression and reduced its structural stability; however, treatment of the p.R336C knock‐in HEK293T cells with betaine, a chemical chaperone, restored the stability and tetrameric conformation of CBS, but not its activity. Collectively, these results indicate that the p.R336C mutation has a deleterious effect on CBS structure, stability, and activity, and using the chemical chaperones approach for treatment could be ineffective in restoring p.R336C CBS activity. 相似文献
