Molecular pathology of Crigler-Najjar type I and II and Gilbert's syndromes. (1/55)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Crigler-Najjar syndromes type I and II and Gilbert's syndrome are familial unconjugated hyperbilirubinemias caused by genetic lesions involving a single complex locus encoding for bilirubin-UDP-glucuronosyltransferase which is involved in the detoxification of bilirubin by conjugation with glucuronic acid. Over the last few years a number of different mutations affecting this gene have been characterized. The aim of this work is to review the molecular pathology of Crigler-Najjar and Gilbert's syndromes, to discuss its impact on the clinical and genetic classification of these conditions, and on the diagnostic evaluation of clinical pictures associated with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. EVIDENCE AND INFORMATION SOURCES: The authors of the present review are involved in the clinical management of patients with familial unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia as well as in the characterization of its molecular bases. Evidence from journal articles covered by the Science Citation Index and Medline has been reviewed and collated with personal data and experience. STATE OF THE ART AND PERSPECTIVES: It has been known for many years that mild to severe deficiency of bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase in the liver is the cause of two types of familial unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, Crigler-Najjar syndromes I and II, and Gilbert's syndrome. Since the characterization of the gene encoding for bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, a number of mutations affecting the expression of this gene have been identified. These mutations can be classified into three groups: mutations which result in a reduced production of a normal enzyme; mutations which give rise to the synthesis of a structurally abnormal and dysfunctional enzyme; mutations which completely abolish the expression of the affected allele. The combination of mutations affecting the coding region of the gene and of promoter mutations which reduce the expression of the gene accounts for the wide clinical spectrum of familial unconjugated hyperbilirubinemias, ranging from the clinically negligible Gilbert's syndrome to the severe and often fatal Crigler-Najjar type I syndrome. A better understanding of the genetics of these conditions and the availability of molecular diagnosis will improve the diagnostic efficiency and afford better informed genetic counseling, not only for Crigler-Najjar and Gilbert's syndromes, but also for several acquired conditions characterized by unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.

Auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation for Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I. (2/55)

OBJECTIVE: To determine if auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation (APOLT) has the long-term potential to correct the underlying abnormality in Crigler-Najjar syndrome type 1 (CNS1) without the need for total liver replacement. BACKGROUND: Orthotopic liver transplantation has been used successfully to replace the defective enzyme in CNS1. Experimental studies have shown that only 1% to 2% of the normal hepatocyte mass is needed for bilirubin conjugation. If APOLT corrects the underlying metabolic abnormality, it has the advantage of preserving the native liver, which would serve as a "safety net" should the graft fail, and there is the potential for gene therapy in the future with possible withdrawal of immunosuppression. METHODS: Seven APOLT procedures were performed in six recipients with CNS1. Median age at transplantation was 10.5 years. Six transplants were performed as a left auxiliary liver transplant, and one was performed as a right auxiliary liver transplant. Median serum bilirubin level at transplantation was 320 micromol/L. All patients required 12 to 16 hours of phototherapy daily before the transplant to maintain serum bilirubin levels between 250 and 350 micromol/L. RESULTS: Median serum bilirubin level was 50 micromol/L at day 5 after the transplant and 23 micromol/L at a median follow-up of 32 months. In four children, early severe acute rejection developed, requiring conversion to tacrolimus; one underwent a second transplant for chronic rejection and graft atrophy but died from lymphoproliferative disease 6 months after the second transplant. CONCLUSIONS: This report shows that APOLT is technically feasible and provides adequate hepatocyte mass to correct the underlying metabolic abnormality in CNS1. (+info)

Correction of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase gene defect in the gunn rat model of crigler-najjar syndrome type I with a chimeric oligonucleotide. (3/55)

Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I is characterized by unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia resulting from an autosomal recessive inherited deficiency of hepatic UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 activity. The enzyme is essential for glucuronidation and biliary excretion of bilirubin, and its absence can be fatal. The Gunn rat is an excellent animal model of this disease, exhibiting a single guanosine (G) base deletion within the UGT1A1 gene. The defect results in a frameshift and a premature stop codon, absence of enzyme activity, and hyperbilirubinemia. Here, we show permanent correction of the UGT1A1 genetic defect in Gunn rat liver with site-specific replacement of the absent G residue at nucleotide 1206 by using an RNA/DNA oligonucleotide designed to promote endogenous repair of genomic DNA. The chimeric oligonucleotide was either complexed with polyethylenimine or encapsulated in anionic liposomes, administered i.v., and targeted to the hepatocyte via the asialoglycoprotein receptor. G insertion was determined by PCR amplification, colony lift hybridizations, restriction endonuclease digestion, and DNA sequencing, and confirmed by genomic Southern blot analysis. DNA repair was specific, efficient, stable throughout the 6-month observation period, and associated with reduction of serum bilirubin levels. Our results indicate that correction of the UGT1A1 genetic lesion in the Gunn rat restores enzyme expression and bilirubin conjugating activity, with consequent improvement in the metabolic abnormality.

Stimulation of defective Gunn-rat liver uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase activity in vitro by alkyl ketones. (4/55)

Addition of alkyl ketone (10mM) to Gunn-rat liver homogenates increased UDP-glucuronyltransferase activity towards 2-aminophenol by 10--20 fold, up to enhanced values of enzyme activity observed with similarly treated Wistar-rat liver homogenates. Alkyl ketones also activate the defective enzyme purified from Gunn-rat liver. This genetic deficiency of UDP-glucuronyltransferase activity is no longer apparent when assayed in the presence of alkyl ketones. (+info)

Bilirubin adsorption therapy and subsequent liver transplantation cured severe bilirubin encephalopathy in a long-term survival patient with Crigler-Najjar disease type I. (5/55)

Crigler-Najjar disease (CN) type I is characterized by persistent unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia from birth. The male patient here was diagnosed with this disease as a neonate and had been treated by phototherapy. At age 16 he suddenly developed generalized convulsions, followed by impaired cognitive function. The serum level of bilirubin was extremely high (total bilirubin: 41.7 mg/dl) and there were no other detectable causes responsible for the metabolic encephalopathy. He received bilirubin adsorption therapy several times, and the bilirubin encephalopathy improved in response to the fall in the serum level of bilirubin. After this he underwent a successful liver transplantation in Australia, and recovery of his mental faculties was satisfactory. Within the subsequent 3 years epileptic abnormal discharges on the electroencephalogram disappeared. Phototherapy alone can not prevent the rise in the serum level of bilirubin in adolescent or adult patients with CN type I, therefore such patients tend to experience life-threatening bilirubin encephalopathy. To save patients with the acute onset type of bilirubin encephalopathy, sufficient bilirubin adsorption followed by liver transplantation appears to be the most recommended therapeutic approach.

Bile bilirubin pigment analysis in disorders of bilirubin metabolism in early infancy. (6/55)

BACKGROUND: Early and accurate diagnosis of Crigler-Najjar syndrome, which causes prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia in infancy, is important, as orthotopic liver transplantation is the definitive treatment. AIM: To determine whether bilirubin pigment analysis of bile in infants with prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia provides useful diagnostic information in the first 3 months of life. METHODS: Retrospective review of patients with prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia referred to the liver unit, Birmingham Children's Hospital, for the diagnosis of Crigler-Najjar syndrome. Bile bilirubin pigment composition was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Initial diagnoses were made based on the result of bile bilirubin pigment composition. Final diagnoses were made after reviewing the clinical course, response to phenobarbitone, repeat bile bilirubin pigment composition analysis, and genetic studies. RESULTS: Between 1992 and 1999, nine infants aged less than 3 months of age with prolonged hyperbilirubinaemia underwent bile bilirubin pigment analyses. Based on these, two children were diagnosed with Crigler-Najjar syndrome (CNS) type 1, six with CNS type 2, and one with Gilbert's syndrome. Five children whose initial diagnosis was CNS type 2 had resolution of jaundice and normalisation of serum bilirubin after discontinuing phenobarbitone, and these cases were thought to be normal or to have Gilbert's syndrome. One of the initial cases of CNS type 1 responded to phenobarbitone with an 80% reduction in serum bilirubin consistent with CNS type 2. In all, the diagnoses of six cases needed to be reviewed. CONCLUSIONS: Early bile pigment analysis, performed during the first 3 months of life, often shows high levels of unconjugated bilirubin or bilirubin monoconjugates, leading to the incorrect diagnosis of both type 1 and type 2 Crigler-Najjar syndrome.

Gene therapy for inherited hyperbilirubinemias. (7/55)

Crigler-Najjar syndrome type 1 (CN-1) is a potentially lethal condition, and is the only inherited disorder of bilirubin metabolism that needs treatment beyond the neonatal period. Currently, orthotopic liver transplantation is the only available cure for CN-1. Because the liver architecture is not disturbed in CN-1 and partial correction of bilirubin-UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1) activity is expected to be sufficient for protection against kernicterus, cell and gene therapies are being developed using the Gunn rat as an animal model of the disease. Ex vivo gene therapy based on the transplantation of genetically manipulated hepatocytes and in vivo gene transfer using recombinant adenovirus and Simian virus 40 (SV40)-based vectors have yielded significant success. The novel strategy of in vivo site-directed mutagenesis has also resulted in modest, but significant, correction of the genetic abnormality. Newer viral and nonviral gene delivery methods are being explored and have been discussed in brief. In summary, effective gene therapy methods have been validated in Gunn rats. Despite considerable remaining hurdles, gene therapy for CN-1 could become a clinical reality by the turn of this decade. (+info)

Postnatal development of uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase activity towards bilirubin and 2-aminophenol in human liver. (8/55)

UDP-glucuronyltransferase activities towards 2-aminophenol and bilirubin were studied in a total of 70 human subjects, including premature and full-term newborn babies, infants, children and adults. These two activities have been reported in rat to develop latefoetally and neonatally respectively, but in man they both develop neonatally. There is a linear relationship between the logarithm of each liver transferase activity and the logarithm of the number of days after birth during the first 3 months of life, after which each activity remains constant.
