Identification of a gene, ABCG5, important in the regulation of dietary cholesterol absorption.
Nat Genet. 2001 Jan;27(1):79-83., [PMID:11138003]

Abstract [show]
The molecular mechanisms regulating the amount of dietary cholesterol retained in the body, as well as the body's ability to exclude selectively other dietary sterols, are poorly understood. An average western diet will contain about 250-500 mg of dietary cholesterol and about 200-400 mg of non-cholesterol sterols. About 50-60% of the dietary cholesterol is absorbed and retained by the normal human body, but less than 1% of the non-cholesterol sterols are retained. Thus, there exists a subtle mechanism that allows the body to distinguish between cholesterol and non-cholesterol sterols. In sitosterolemia, a rare autosomal recessive disorder, affected individuals hyperabsorb not only cholesterol but also all other sterols, including plant and shellfish sterols from the intestine. The major plant sterol species is sitosterol; hence the name of the disorder. Consequently, patients with this disease have very high levels of plant sterols in the plasma and develop tendon and tuberous xanthomas, accelerated atherosclerosis, and premature coronary artery disease. We previously mapped the STSL locus to human chromosome 2p21 and further localized it to a region of less than 2 cM bounded by markers D2S2294 and D2S2291 (M.-H.L. et al., manuscript submitted). We now report that a new member of the ABC transporter family, ABCG5, is mutant in nine unrelated sitosterolemia patients.

The STSL locus has been mapped to human chromosome 2p21. Mutations in two tandem ABC genes, ABCG5 and ABCG8, encoding sterolin-1 and -2, respectively, are now known to be mutant in sitosterolemia. The identification of these genes should now lead to a better understanding of the molecular mechanism(s) governing the highly selective absorption and retention of cholesterol by the body. Indeed, it is the very existence of this disease that has given credence to the hypothesis that there is a molecular pathway that regulates dietary cholesterol absorption and sterol excretion by the body.

Mutations in the human ATP-binding cassette transporters ABCG5 and ABCG8 in sitosterolemia.
Hum Mutat. 2002 Aug;20(2):151., [PMID:12124998]

Abstract [show]
Phytosterolemia or Sitosterolemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by highly elevated plasma levels of plant sterols and cholesterol as a consequence of hyperabsorption and impaired biliary secretion of sterols. The disease is caused by mutations in two half size ATP-binding cassette transporters, ABCG5 and ABCG8. We have analyzed the genomic sequence of ABCG5 and ABCG8 in five well-characterized patients with Sitosterolemia. In the first patient we found a heterozygous mutation in exon 8 of the ABCG5 gene leading to a premature termination of the protein (Arg408Ter). This German patient is the first European showing a mutation of the ABCG5 gene. In a second patient we found a novel heterozygous mutation in exon 5 of ABCG8 (c.584T>A; Leu195Gln). Both patients were heterozygous for the identified mutation, but no mutation could be identified on the other chromosome. In three further analyzed patients we found mutations in exons 7, 9 and 11 of the ABCG8 gene, respectively, of which two result in a premature termination signal for translation products. One of these patients was compound heterozygous (Trp361Ter and Arg412Ter), the other was homozygous for Trp361Ter. The third patient was homozygous for an amino acid exchange (Gly574Arg). In conclusion this report describes one novel mutation affecting a highly conserved amino acid and two previously identified mutations in the ABCG8 gene. In addition, we identified for the first time a mutation in the ABCG5 gene of a European Sitosterolemia patient.

Abstract [show]
Mutations in ABCG5 (G5) or ABCG8 (G8) cause sitosterolemia, an autosomal recessive disease characterized by sterol accumulation and premature atherosclerosis. G5 and G8 are ATP-binding cassette (ABC) half-transporters that must heterodimerize to move to the apical surface of cells. We examined the role of N-linked glycans in the formation of the G5/G8 heterodimer to gain insight into the determinants of folding and trafficking of these proteins. Site-directed mutagenesis revealed that two asparagine residues (Asn(585) and Asn(592)) are glycosylated in G5 and that G8 has a single N-linked glycan attached to Asn(619). N-Linked glycosylation of G8 was required for efficient trafficking of the G5/G8 heterodimer, but mutations that abolished glycosylation of G5 did not prevent trafficking of the heterodimer. Both G5 and G8 are bound by the lectin chaperone, calnexin, suggesting that the calnexin cycle may facilitate folding of the G5/G8 heterodimer. To determine the effects of 13 disease-causing missense mutations in G5 and G8 on formation and trafficking of the G5/G8 heterodimer, mutant forms of the half-transporters were expressed in CHO-K1 cells. All 13 mutations reduced trafficking of the G5/G8 heterodimer from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex, and most prevented the formation of stable heterodimers between G5 and G8. We conclude that the majority of the molecular defects in G5 and G8 that cause sitosterolemia impair transport of the sterol transporter to the cell surface.

Abstract [show]
Sitosterolemia is a rare, autosomal recessive inherited sterol storage disease associated with high tissue and serum plant sterol concentrations, caused by mutations in the adenosine triphosphate-bind-ing cassette (ABC) transporter ABCG5 or ABCG8 genes. Markedly increased serum concentration of plant sterols. such as sitosterol and campesterol, cause premature atherosclerosis and massive xanthomas. Hitherto known treatments for sitosterolemia, including a low-sterol diet, bile-salt binding resins, ileal bypass surgery and low density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis have not yielded sufficient reduction of serum plant sterol levels and many patients show a sustained elevation of plant sterol levels, subsequently developing premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Ezetimibe, an inhibitor of intestinal cholesterol absorption through its binding to Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1), has been widely used for decreasing serum LDL-cholesterol levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia. Ezetimibe also reduces the gastrointestinal absorption of plant sterols, thereby also lowering the serum concentrations of plant sterols. This pharmacological property of ezetimibe shows its potential as a novel effective therapy for sitosterolemia. In the current review, we discuss the current therapy for patients with sitosterolemia and present two Japanese adolescent patients with this disease, one of whom underwent percutaneous coronary intervention for accelerated coronary atherosclerosis. Ezetimibe administration in addition to conventional drug therapy successfully reduced serum sitosterol levels by 51.3% and 48.9%, respectively, in the two patients, demonstrating ezetimibe as a novel and potent treatment agent for sitosterolemia that could work additively with conventional drug therapy.

Abstract [show]
Coronary artery disease is the most prevalent form of mortality and morbidity in Western countries. Studies in the last several decades have identified high LDL cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol as major risk factors leading to the disease. Human genetic studies have provided significant insight into the regulation of lipoprotein metabolism. In the last several years, the genes associated with several rare genetic diseases of lipid metabolism have been revealed. These landmark discoveries that identified mutant ABC cholesterol transporters as the underlying causes of these genetic disorders have paved the way for better understanding of the cellular cholesterol transport process and HDL biogenesis. This summary provides an overview and discussion of the most recent progress that includes molecular mechanism and regulation of cholesterol transport mediated by these ABC transporters.

Abstract [show]
Whilst conducting a scientific study, an elevated plasma plant sterol concentration of 3.07 mg/dL was established in one proband. Similar levels found in his mothers plasma (2.73 mg/dL) were suggestive of a heterozygous sitosterolemia. The resulting gene analysis for ATP binding cassette transporter G5/G8 (ABCG5/G8) revealed a heterozygous polymorphism in ABCG8 (Thr400Lys, rs4148217), which the proband had inherited from his father. However, a heterozygous amino acid exchange (Arg406Gln) in exon 9 of ABCG5 was revealed, which was inherited from his mother. Although not sufficient evidence exists to regard this sequence variation as a mutation, this previously unreleased sequence variation occurred in a "hot spot" area for sitosterolemia of the ABCG5 gene (exon 9) and the similar increased plasma plant sterol concentrations of the heterozygous mother contribute to the notion, that this very likely presents an inactivating mutation.

Novel donor splice site mutation of ABCG5 gene in sitosterolemia.
Mol Genet Metab. 2002 Feb;75(2):178-80., [PMID:11855938]

Abstract [show]
In a patient with sitosterolemia, we found two different mutations of the ATP-binding cassette, subfamily G, member 5 (ABCG5) gene. The first is a missense mutation that changes the amino acid residue at position 419 from arginine to histidine, i.e., R419H. The second is a novel splicing mutation affecting the invariant guanine at the first base of the donor splice site of intron 12, i.e., IVS12 + 1G --> A. The father of the patient is heterozygous for the missense mutation, and the mother is heterozygous for the splicing mutation. No mutations were found in the sister of the patient. Up until now, the missense mutation has only been found in Japanese patients with sitosterolemia. We believe that R419H in our Chinese patient may have the same origin as the mutation in the Japanese patients with sitosterolemia.

Abstract [show]
Sitosterolemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by (a) intestinal hyperabsorption of all sterols, including cholesterol and plant and shellfish sterols, and (b) impaired ability to excrete sterols into bile. Patients with this disease have expanded body pools of cholesterol and very elevated plasma plant-sterol species and frequently develop tendon and tuberous xanthomas, accelerated atherosclerosis, and premature coronary artery disease. In previous studies, we have mapped the STSL locus to human chromosome 2p21. Recently, we reported that a novel member of the ABC-transporter family, named "sterolin-1" and encoded by ABCG5, is mutated in 9 unrelated families with sitosterolemia; in the remaining 25 families, no mutations in sterolin-1 could be identified. We identified another ABC transporter, located <400 bp upstream of sterolin-1, in the opposite orientation. Mutational analyses revealed that this highly homologous protein, termed "sterolin-2" and encoded by ABCG8, is mutated in the remaining pedigrees. Thus, two highly homologous genes, located in a head-to-head configuration on chromosome 2p21, are involved as causes of sitosterolemia. These studies indicate that both sterolin-1 and sterolin-2 are indispensable for the regulation of sterol absorption and excretion. Identification of sterolin-1 and sterolin-2 as critical players in the regulation of dietary-sterol absorption and excretion identifies a new pathway of sterol transport.
