Diamond Blackfan anemia 2008–2009: broadening the scope of ribosome biogenesis disorders

Abstract: Purpose of Review-Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) is an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by erythroid failure, congenital anomalies and predisposition to cancer. Recently, the notion of DBA as a disorder of ribosome biogenesis has been clarified. Correlations between molecular underpinnings and disease pathophysiology while elusive are beginning to emerge. Advances in these areas will be explored in this review Recent Findings-All known genes mutated in DBA encode ribosomal proteins associate… Show more

“…25 Intriguingly, DBA, a congenital BM failure syndrome, exhibits erythroid defects similar to 5qϪ syndrome, and in recent studies researchers suggest that both conditions are caused by reduced dosage of one or more ribosomal protein genes. 2,5 To date, the underlying cellular pathophysiology and potential approaches to treatment for these diseases have been difficult to unravel. 3630 McGOWAN et al BLOOD, 29 SEPTEMBER 2010 ⅐ VOLUME 118, NUMBER 13 For personal use only.…”

“…25 Intriguingly, DBA, a congenital BM failure syndrome, exhibits erythroid defects similar to 5qϪ syndrome, and in recent studies researchers suggest that both conditions are caused by reduced dosage of one or more ribosomal protein genes. 2,5 To date, the underlying cellular pathophysiology and potential approaches to treatment for these diseases have been difficult to unravel. During earlier studies of pigmentary mutations in mice, we realized that reduced dosage of the ribosomal protein genes, Rps6, Rps19, and Rps20, led to activation of p53 in which the differential and specific response of individual cell types in the skin and blood gave rise to a pleiotropic syndrome that was likely relevant to 5qϪ MDS and DBA.…”

“…In patients bearing a RPS19 deficiency, the levels of GATA1 were found to be reduced in the erythroid progenitor population while p53 and TNFα expression were increased in the non-erythroid progenitors [18,20] . Inhibition of TNFα in a zebrafish model of RPS19-deficiency was able to rescue the observed anemia, suggesting TNFα expression has a significant role in the observed phenotype [20] .…”

“…DBA is mainly characterized by a profound anemia, but like FA, other congenital defects (growth retardation, cranialfacial abnormalities, defects in the heart and urinary system) are observe in a significant portion of patients (up to 50%). These individuals have an increased incidence of developing MDS and AML as well as some other forms of cancer [1,18] . DBA appears to result from altered ribosomal RNA (rRNA) processing which, in turn, affects ribosome biogenesis of the 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits and alters mRNA processing/transport and translation; thus having pleiotropic effects on cellular growth and survival [18] .…”
