Familial acne inversa (AI) is one of the most important human genetic skin diseases. In primary study, we found that the γ-secretase subunits genes PSEN1, PSENEN and NCSTN3 mutations in six families with typical AI. It suggested that γ-secretase mutations may not only lead to familial Alzheimer disease but also play an important role in pathogenesis of AI. In present research, we plan to explore the pathogenic mechanism of PSEN1 Gene Mutation (p.P242LfsX11) in AI, which was found in one Chinese AI family. By use of the quantitative PCR, western blot, reporter gene assay and immunofluorescence technique, we hope to investigate the influence of the PSEN1 mutation on the genes expression in intracellular. Then we plan to find the influence of PSEN1 p.P242LfsX11 mutation on the development of skin lesions and the signaling molecules involved by using transgenic mice. The present study will be helpful to clarify how the γ-secretase worked in AI and provide the correct targets of effective treatments.
家族性反常性痤疮(acne inversa, AI)是人类重要的遗传性皮肤病之一。在前期的研究中,我们在6个中国家族性AI家系中分别发现了γ-分泌酶亚单位PSEN1、PSENEN和NCSTN三个基因的突变。这一结果提示,γ-分泌酶亚单位突变不仅会导致家族性阿尔兹海默氏病,而且在AI的发病中也发挥着重要的作用。本项目拟以我们在中国人家族性AI家系中发现的PSEN1致病突变p.P242LfsX11为切入点,利用定量PCR、蛋白质免疫印迹、报告基因实验和免疫荧光等,考察突变体在细胞内对相关基因表达的影响及可能的机制;通过转基因模型小鼠,观察突变体对皮肤发育的影响和涉及的信号分子,探讨γ-分泌酶亚单位PSEN1基因突变p.P242LfsX11的致病机制。以期阐明γ-分泌酶亚单位突变引发AI的机制,为研发有效治疗药物提供正确的靶点。
本课题组前期在6个中国家族性AI家系中分别发现了γ-分泌酶亚单位PSEN1、PSENEN和NCSTN三个基因的突变。这一结果提示,γ-分泌酶亚单位突变不仅会导致家族性阿尔兹海默氏病,而且在AI的发病中也发挥着重要的作用。本项目以发现的PSEN1致病突变p.P242LfsX11为切入点,利用定量PCR检测发现PSEN1p.P242LfsX11 mRNA表达水平明显下降,但是蛋白质免疫印迹、报告基因实验和免疫荧光等检测未发现PSEN1p.P242LfsX11对PSEN1蛋白表达量、稳定性及亚细胞定位有明显影响。皮肤特异性表达转基因模型小鼠已获得285枚成活的受精卵,分别移植到15 只假孕母鼠体内,原代小鼠孕育进行中。成功构建后,表型和涉及的信号通路分析,将为AI的发病分子机制提供理论依据。同时,本课题组对先天性厚甲、多发性软骨疣等家系进行致病基因突变分析,对男性无精症进行群体遗传学分析,并对实验室伦理学建设进行探讨,以期为临床诊断和家系成员的遗传咨询提供更好的依据。
