Calcium signaling can elicit different pathways involved in an extreme variety of biological processes. Calcium levels must be tightly regulated in a spatial and temporal manner in order to be efficiently and properly utilized in the host physiology. The Ca2+ -ATPase, encoded by pmr-1 gene, was first identified in yeast and localized to the Golgi and it appears to be involved in calcium homeostasis. PMR-1 function is evolutionary conserved from yeast to human, where mutations in the orthologous gene ATP2C1 cause Hailey-Hailey disease...

Relapsing Linear Acantholytic Dermatosis (RLAD) is a rare disease that manifests as recurring episodes of crusted and vesicular lesions distributed in a Blaschkoid pattern with histology resembling Hailey-Hailey or Darier's disease. RLAD is hypothesized to be a mosaic form of a known acantholytic disorder, but this hypothesis has lacked genetic conformation. To determine the genetic abnormalities causing RLAD, we performed exome sequencing of affected tissue and blood in a single subject. Exome sequencing of an punch biopsy revealed a c...

Hailey-Hailey disease is an autosomal genetic disease caused by mutations in one of the two ATP2C1 alleles encoding the secretory pathway Ca2+ /Mn2+ -ATPase, hSPCA1. The disease almost exclusively affects epidermis, where it mainly results in acantholysis of the suprabasal layers. The etiology of the disease is complex and not well understood. We applied a yeast based complementation system to characterize fourteen disease-causing ATP2C1 missense mutations in presence or absence of wild type ATP2C1 or ATP2A2, encoding SERCA2...

We have sequenced the whole genomes of eight proven Holstein bulls from the four half-sib or full-sib families with extremely high and low estimated breeding values (EBV) for milk protein percentage (PP) and fat percentage (FP) using Illumina re-sequencing technology. Consequently, 2.3 billion raw reads were obtained with an average effective depth of 8.1×. After single nucleotide variant (SNV) calling, total 10,961,243 SNVs were identified, and 57,451 of them showed opposite fixed sites between the bulls with high and low EBVs within each family (called as common differential SNVs)...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disorder in the old population. Among its monogenic variants, a frequent cause is a mutation in the Parkin gene (Prkn). Deficient function of Parkin triggers ubiquitous mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation in the brain, but it remains unclear how selective neural circuits become vulnerable and finally undergo atrophy. We attempted to go beyond previous work mostly done in peripheral tumor cells, which identified protein targets of Parkin activity, an ubiquitin E3 ligase...

Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD), also known as familial benign chronic pemphigus, is an autosomal dominant genodermatosis. It is characterized by erosions, blisters and erythematous plaques at sites of friction or intertriginous areas. The pathogenic gene of HHD has been revealed as the ATPase secretory pathway Ca2+ transporting 1 gene ( ATP2C1), which encodes the protein, secretory pathway Ca 2+ /Mn 2+ -ATPase 1 (SPCA1). ATP2C1 gene mutations are responsible for HHD by resulting in abnormal Ca 2+ homeostasis in the skin and giving rise to acantholysis, a characteristic pathology of HHD...

Blood platelets can interact with bacteria, possibly leading to platelet activation, cytokine and microparticle release and immune signalling. Besides, bacteria can also affect the platelet RNA content. We investigated the impact of non-pathogenic K12 and pathogenic O18:K1 Escherichia (E.) coli strains on platelet activation, RNA expression patterns, and selected proteins. Depending on bacteria concentration, contact of platelets with E. coli K12 lead to an increase of P-selectin (24-51.3%), CD63 (15.9-24.3%), PAC-1 (3...

Specific gene knockdown facilitated by short interfering RNA (siRNA) is a potential approach for suppressing the expression of ion channels and transporter proteins to kill breast cancer cells. The overexpression of calcium ion channels and transporter genes is seen in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. Since naked siRNA is anionic and prone to nuclease-mediated degradation, it has limited permeability across the cationic cell membrane and short systemic half-life, respectively. Carbonate apatite (CA) nanoparticles were formulated, characterized, loaded with a series of siRNAs, and delivered into MCF-7 and 4T1 breast cancer cells to selectively knockdown the respective calcium and magnesium ion channels and transporters...

The term orthodisease defines human disorders in which the pathogenic gene has orthologs in model organism genomes. Yeasts have been instrumental for gaining insights into the molecular basis of many human disorders, particularly those resulting from impaired cellular metabolism. We and others have used yeasts as a model system to study the molecular basis of Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD), a human blistering skin disorder caused by haploinsufficiency of the gene ATP2C1 the orthologous of the yeast gene PMR1 ...

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a potentially life-threatening mucocutaneous autoimmune blistering disease. Patients develop non-healing erosions and blisters due to cell-cell detachment of keratinocytes (acantholysis), with subsequent suprabasal intraepidermal splitting. Identified almost 30 years ago, desmoglein-3 (Dsg3), a Ca2+ -dependent cell adhesion molecule belonging to the cadherin family, has been considered the "primary" autoantigen in PV. Proteomic studies have identified numerous autoantibodies in patients with PV that have known roles in the physiology and cell adhesion of keratinocytes...

Hailey-Hailey disease, or benign familial pemphigus, is a rare blistering disease originally described in 1939. The disease is due to an autosomal dominant mutation in the ATP2C1 gene on chromosome 3, which encodes for an adenosine triphosphate-dependent calcium pump in the Golgi apparatus whose function is to maintain intercellular calcium homeostasis. Common treatments for Hailey-Hailey disease involve calcineurin inhibitors, topical corticosteroids, topical or systemic antibiotics, topical antifungals, ablative lasers, or botulin toxin...

BACKGROUND Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is a rare autosomal dominant skin condition. The ATP2C1 gene was identified as the defective gene in HHD. To date, 166 pathogenic mutations in ATP2C1 have been observed worldwide. The aim of this study was to identify variations in HHD and summarize the features of the mutations identified in China. MATERIAL AND METHODS We examined 2 familial and 2 sporadic cases of HHD. Genomic DNA polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing of the ATP2C1 were performed from HHD patients, unaffected family members, and 200 healthy individuals...

Recent studies found that mutations in the human SLC30A10 gene, which encodes a manganese (Mn) efflux transporter, are associated with hypermanganesemia with dystonia, polycythemia, and cirrhosis (HMDPC). However, the relationship between Mn metabolism and HMDPC is poorly understood, and no specific treatments are available for this disorder. Here, we generated two zebrafish slc30a10 mutant lines using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Compared to wild-type animals, mutant adult animals developed significantly higher systemic Mn levels, and Mn accumulated in the brain and liver of mutant embryos in response to exogenous Mn...

Cumulus cells (CCs) are considered as an important source to predict oocyte quality. Despite numerous candidate genes in CCs have been identified for embryonic developmental competence, the results are inconsistent. The next generation RNA-sequencing was used to investigate the transcriptomic differences in CCs from in vitro matured oocytes did or did not develop to blastocyst stage following in vitro fertilization (IVF). In our study, the corresponding mouse oocytes were traced using a single-cell tracking system, and CCs were pooled into groups based on the embryonic developmental outcomes...

Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is a rare autosomal dominant acantholytic dermatosis, characterized by a chronic course of repeated and exacerbated skin lesions in friction regions. The pathogenic gene of HHD was reported to be the ATPase calcium-transporting type 2C member 1 gene (ATP2C1) located on chromosome 3q21-q24. Its function is to maintain normal intracellular concentrations of Ca2+ /Mn2+ by transporting Ca2+ /Mn2+ into the Golgi apparatus. ATP2C1 gene mutations are reportedly responsible for abnormal cytosolic Ca2+ /Mn2+ levels and the clinical manifestations of HHD...
