Objective To clarify the pathogenic mutations and provide references for prevention and treatment strategies and prenatal diagnosis by gene detection in 3 pedigrees with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Methods The family history and clinical data of 3 ADPKD pedigrees who admitted to our department of urology during 2017 and 2020 were collected in this study. The peripheral blood samples of these family members were harvested for DNA extraction. Targeted amplification and high-throughput sequencing was used to screen suspected pathogenic mutations in probands, and then these obtained mutations were verified and analyzed in the probands and their family members by Sanger sequencing. The pathogenicity of these mutations was analyzed with bioinformation analysis and the evaluation criteria of the American Society of Medical Genetics. Results Ultrasound examination showed that all the probands from the 3 families had polycystic kidneys, at the clinical stages of G1, G3a, and G5 respectively. The deletion frameshift mutation c.5933delA (p.Asn1978fs), nonsense heterozygous mutation c.6871C>T (G2291X) and deletion frameshift mutation of c.894_897delCCCT (p.299Sfs*34) in polycystic kidney disease 1 (PKD1) gene were detected in pedigrees 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The above variants in the 3 families were in line with phenotype-genotype separation. Conclusion We identify the pathogenic variants in the 3 pedigrees of hereditary polycystic kidney disease, among which c.5933delA and c.894_897delCCCT are new mutations, and c.6871C>T is a known pathogenic mutation.
Objective:To investigate the effect of overexpression of leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains 1 (LRIG1) on the proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of glioma cells and its molecular mechanism.Methods:U373 cells were cultured in dulbeeeo modified eagle medium (DMEM) medium and divided into control group and LRIG1 group. Control Group was infected with control lentivirus and LRIG1 group was infected with over-expressed lentivirus. The positive cells were screened after 48 hours. Cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and 5-Ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining, cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry staining, and cell invasion was detected by Transwell staining. The expression levels of the proteins associated with apoptosis and invasion was analyzed by Western blotting.Results:Compared with control group (1.24±0.21), the expression level of LRIG1 protein in LRIG1 group (2.81±0.30) significantly increased ( t=3.015, P<0.05). Compared with the control group (1.74±0.25), the light absorption value of LRIG1 group (1.12 ± 0.18) significantly decreased ( t=3.641, P<0.05). Compared with the control group [(78.65±10.58)%], the EdU positive rate [(34.02 ± 8.01)%] in LRIG1 group significantly reduced ( t=4.387, P<0.05). Compared with the control group [(5.02±1.81)%], the apoptosis rate of LRIG1 group [(25.49 ± 6.89)%] significantly increased ( t=6.914, P<0.05). Compared with the control group (88.14±9.28), the number of invasive cells (39.48±5.81) in LRIG1 group significantly decreased ( t=5.498, P<0.05). Compared with control group (0.58±0.10), the expression level of cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease (Caspase)-3 protein in LRIG1 group (1.16±0.13) significantly increased ( t=3.001, P<0.05). Compared with control group (1.18±0.18), the expression level of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 in LRIG1 group (0.44±0.11) significantly decreased ( t=3.482, P<0.05). Conclusion:Over-expression of LRIG1 can significantly inhibit the proliferation and invasion of Glioma cells and promote tumor cell apoptosis.
Objective:To investigate the effects of miR-4295 on proliferation, invasion and epithelial mesenchymal transition of glioma cells by targeting leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains 1 (LRIG1).Methods:120 cases gliomas and adjacent tissues from June 2018 to April 2020 were selected as the research objects. The expression level of miR-4295 in gliomas and adjacent tissues was analyzed by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). MiR-4295 silencing cell line (experimental group) and control cell line (control group) were established by lentivirus in U251 glioma cell line. The proliferation ability of the two groups was analyzed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). The invasion ability was analyzed by Transwell. The expression of epithelial mesenchymal markers in the control group and the experimental group was analyzed by Western blotting. The miR-4295 gene was analyzed by bioinformatics and double luciferase reporter gene, and the expression level of cell target protein in control group and experimental group was analyzed by Western blotting. T test was used to compare the data between groups, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Results:The expression of miR-4295 in gliomas (1.29±0.20) was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues (2.81±0.19, t=2.809, P<0.05). Compared with the control group (1.07±0.15), the expression level of miR-4295 in the experimental group (0.38±0.11) significantly reduced ( t=2.441, P<0.05). Compared with the control group (1.61±0.25), the 48 h absorbance value (1.22±0.18) of the experimental group significantly reduced ( t=2.091, P<0.05). Compared with the control group [ (89.27±9.10) cells], the number of invasive cells in the experimental group [ (32.49±5.94) cells] significantly decreased ( t=4.109, P<0.05). The expression levels of N-cadherin and Vimentin in the experimental group (0.30±0.11, 0.37±0.12) were significantly lower than those in the control group (1.13±0.13, 1.20±0.19, t=3.091, 2.861, P<0.05). Bioinformatics and double luciferase reporter gene showed that LRIG1 was the target gene of miR-4295. The relative expression level of LRIG1 in the adjacent tissues (1.05±0.22) was significantly lower than of tumor tissues (0.23±0.11, t=3.021, P<0.05). Compared with the control group (0.35±0.13), the relative expression level of LRIG1 in the experimental group significantly increased (0.89±0.17, t=2.198, P<0.05). Conclusion:MiR-4295 regulates the proliferation, invasion and epithelial mesenchymal transition of glioma cells by targeting LRIG1.
