摘要:

目的 报告1例由SASH1基因c.1574C>G(p.T525R)变异位点导致的遗传性泛发性色素异常症(DUH)患者,并通过体外功能实验探讨该变异对黑色素表达的影响。方法 采集先证者及其父母外周血,提取DNA,利用全外显子组测序、Sanger测序技术明确致病性基因;生物信息学分析基因变异位点有害性;小鼠黑色素瘤细胞B16为细胞模型,Western blot分析SASH1基因c.1574C>G(p.T525R)变异对小眼相关转录因子(MITF)、酪氨酸酶(Tyrosinase)蛋白表达量的影响;体外黑色素定量实验分析该变异位点对人皮肤黑色素瘤细胞SK-MEL-1和B16细胞黑色素合成的影响。结果 基因测序结果显示,先证者检出SASH1基因c.1574C>G(p.T525R)变异;生物信息学分析该变异对蛋白质结构和功能造成影响的概率较大;Western blot结果显示该变异上调了黑色素合成过程中最关键的MITF及Tyrosinase的表达量;体外黑色素定量分析该变异可促使B16和SK-MEL-1细胞合成黑色素增加。结论 SASH1基因c.1574C>G(p.T525R)杂合变异与DUH发生相关,且该变异可促进黑色素瘤细胞合成黑色素增加。

Abstract:

Objective To report a case of dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) caused by the variant site of c.1574C>G (p.T525R) of SASH1 gene and discuss the effect of mutation on melanin synthesis by functional experiments in vitro. Methods DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of the proband and his parents, and pathogenic genes were identified by whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing. Bioinformatics was used to analyze the harmful gene variant site. Mouse melanoma cell B16 was used as the cell model, and Western blot assay was used to analyze the effect of SASH1 gene c.1574C>G (p.T525R) variation on the expression of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and Tyrosinase proteins. In vitro melanin quantification experiment was used to analyze the effect of this variant site on melanin synthesis in human melanoma cells SK-MEL-1 and B16 cells. Results Gene sequencing results showed that the proband was detected SASH1 gene c.1574C>G (p.T525R) mutation. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the variant had a high probability affecting protein structure and function. Western blot results showed that this variant site up-regulated the expression levels of MITF and Tyrosinase, which were the most critical in melanin synthesis. This variation analyzed by in vitro melanin quantification can increase the melanin synthesis in B16 and SK-MEL-1 cells. Conclusion The heterozygous variant c.1574C>G (p.T525R) of SASH1 gene is associated with DUH, and this mutation can promote the increase of melanin synthesis in melanoma cells.
