- Mitochondrial dysfunction and immune cell infiltration play crucial yet incompletely understood roles in the pathogenesis of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). This study aimed to identify immune-related mitochondrial genes critical to the pathological process of CAVD using multiomics approaches. The CIBERSORT algorithm was employed to evaluate immune cell infiltration characteristics in CAVD patients. An integrative analysis combining weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA), machine learning, and summary data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) was performed to identify key mitochondrial genes implicated in CAVD. Spearman's rank correlation analysis was also performed to assess the relationships between key mitochondrial genes and infiltrating immune cells. Compared with those in normal aortic valve tissue, an increased proportion of M0 macrophages and resting memory CD4 T cells, along with a decreased proportion of plasma cells and activated dendritic cells, were observed in CAVD patients. Additionally, eight key mitochondrial genes associated with CAVD, including PDK4, LDHB, SLC25A36, ALDH9A1, ECHDC2, AUH, ALDH2, and BNIP3, were identified through the integration of WGCNA and machine learning methods. Subsequent SMR analysis, incorporating multiomics data, such as expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) and methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTLs), revealed a significant causal relationship between ALDH9A1 expression and a reduced risk of CAVD. Moreover, ALDH9A1 expression was inversely correlated with M0 macrophages and positively correlated with M2 macrophages. These findings suggest that increased ALDH9A1 expression is significantly associated with a reduced risk of CAVD and that it may exert its protective effects by modulating mitochondrial function and immune cell infiltration. Specifically, ALDH9A1 may contribute to the shift from M0 macrophages to anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages, potentially mitigating the pathological progression of CAVD. In conclusion, ALDH9A1 represents a promising molecular target for the diagnosis and treatment of CAVD. However, further validation through in vivo and n vitro studies is necessary to confirm its role in CAVD pathogenesis and therapeutic potential. - Source: PubMed

Rosenfeld ElizabethDe León Diva D - Hyperinsulinism/hyperammonemia (HI/HA) syndrome has been known to be caused by dominant gain-of-function mutations in GLUD1, encoding the mitochondrial enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase. Pathogenic GLUD1 mutations enhance enzymatic activity by reducing its sensitivity to allosteric inhibition by GTP. Two recent independent studies showed that a similar HI/HA phenotype can be caused by biallelic mutations in SLC25A36, encoding pyrimidine nucleotide carrier 2 (PNC2), a mitochondrial nucleotide carrier that transports pyrimidine and guanine nucleotides across the inner mitochondrial membrane: one study reported a single case caused by a homozygous truncating mutation in SLC25A36 resulting in lack of expression of SLC25A36 in patients' fibroblasts. A second study described two siblings with a splice site mutation in SLC25A36, causing reduction of mitochondrial GTP content, putatively leading to hyperactivation of glutamate dehydrogenase. In an independent study, through combined linkage analysis and exome sequencing, we demonstrate in four individuals of two Bedouin Israeli related families the same disease-causing SLC25A36 (NM_018155.3) c.284 + 3A > T homozygous splice-site mutation found in the two siblings. We demonstrate that the mutation, while causing skipping of exon 3, does not abrogate expression of mRNA and protein of the mutant SLC25A36 in patients' blood and fibroblasts. Affected individuals had hyperinsulinism, hyperammonemia, borderline low birth weight, tonic-clonic seizures commencing around 6 months of age, yet normal intellect and no significant other morbidities. Chronic constipation, hypothyroidism, and developmental delay previously described in a single patient were not found. We thus verify that biallelic SLC25A36 mutations indeed cause HI/HA syndrome and clearly delineate the disease phenotype. - Source: PubMed

Deficiencies in SLC25A36 in mouse embryonic stem cells have been associated with mtDNA depletion as well as mitochondrial dysfunction. In human beings, diseases triggered by mutations have not been described yet. We report the first known case of SLC25A36 deficiency in a 12-year-old patient with hypothyroidism, hyperinsulinism, hyperammonemia, chronical obstipation, short stature, along with language and general developmental delay. Whole exome analysis identified the homozygous mutation c.803dupT, p.Ser269llefs*35 in the gene. Functional analysis of mutant SLC25A36 protein in proteoliposomes showed a virtually abolished transport activity. Immunoblotting results suggest that the mutant SLC25A36 protein in the patient undergoes fast degradation. Supplementation with oral uridine led to an improvement of thyroid function and obstipation, increase of growth and developmental progress. Our findings suggest an important role of SLC25A36 in hormonal regulations and oral uridine as a safe and effective treatment. - Source: PubMed
