Abstract

To explore mutations in the additional sex combs-like 3 (ASXL3) gene in two Chinese families with congenital heart disease (CHD). Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was used to reveal a novel compound heterozygous mutation in the ASXL3 gene that was associated with CHD. Sanger sequencing of a further 122 CHD patients was used to determine an additional compound heterozygous mutation in the ASXL3 gene. Cell apoptosis was examined by MTS assay and flow cytometry. The cardiac structure was identified via hematoxylin-eosin (HE), Masson's trichrome, and ultrasound scanning. RNA sequencing was performed to identify a series of differentially expressed mRNAs. The mRNA and protein expressions were identified by quantitative real-time PCR and western blotting, respectively. A compound heterozygous mutation c.2168C > G (p.Pro723Arg) and c.5449C > G (p.Pro1817Ala) in the ASXL3 gene associated with CHD was identified. Overexpression of this compound heterozygous mutation in HL-1 cells resulted in increased apoptosis and reduced cell viability. Moreover, it affected cardiac structure and fibrosis in mice. There were 126 downregulated mRNAs and 117 upregulated mRNAs between the ASXL3 compound heterozygous mutation c.2168C > G (p.Pro723Arg) and c.5...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
