Loss-of-function of MYO5B is the main cause of microvillus inclusion disease: 15 novel mutations and a CaCo-2 RNAi cell model

Abstract: Autosomal recessive microvillus inclusion disease (MVID) is characterized by an intractable diarrhea starting within the first few weeks of life. The hallmarks of MVID are a lack of microvilli on the surface of villous enterocytes, occurrence of intracellular vacuoles lined by microvilli (microvillus inclusions), and the cytoplasmic accumulation of periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive vesicles in enterocytes. Recently, we identified mutations in MYO5B, encoding the unconventional type Vb myosin motor protein, i… Show more

“…Defective mutations of mammalian MyoV lead to several genetic diseases, such as GS in humans (28) and a similar syndrome in horse MyoVa (29) and microvillus inclusion disease in human MyoVb (30,31). Most of these changes are frame-shift or truncation mutations, which invariably result in truncated proteins lacking all or part of the GTD (Table S2).…”

“…Myo5B-inactivating mutations, either point mutations or truncations, are responsible for the genesis of MVID, which causes severe neonatal diarrhea due to a prominent loss of apical microvilli in intestinal epithelial cells (7,26). Although no mutations in Rab8a been identified in MVID patients, this general intestinal cell phenotype is in part recapitulated in Rab8a knockout mice (27).…”

“…The essential function of microvilli in amplifying surface area is emphasized by the phenotype of patients with MVID, who present with congenital diarrhea in the first days (early-onset form) to months (late-onset) of life (Ruemmele et al, 2010). The defining histological features of MVID are substantial loss of the brush border, presence of intracellular vacuoles with microvilli (microvillus inclusions) and subapical secretory granules in enterocytes (Muller et al, 2008;Ruemmele et al, 2010;Wiegerinck et al, 2014).…”
