PURPOSE: The present study investigated a pathogenic mutation and its mechanism on membranous cataract in a congenital membranous cataract family.
METHODS: An autosomal dominant four-generation Chinese congenital membranous cataract family was recruited and whole-exome sequencing was performed to screen for sequence variants. Candidate variants were validated using polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing. Wild-type and mutant low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5-like (LRP5L) plasmids were constructed and transfected into human lens epithelial cells (HLE B-3) and human anterior lens capsules. The cell lysates, nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins, and basement membrane components of HLE B-3 cells were harvested. LRP5L and laminin γ1 were knocked down in HLE B-3 cells using specific small-interfering RNA. The protein expression levels of LRP5L, laminin γ1, and c-MAF were detected using immunoblotting and immunofluorescence.
RESULTS: We identified a novel suspected pathogenic mutation in LRP5L (c.107C > G, p.P36R) in the congenital membranous cataract family. This mutation was absent in 300 normal controls and 300 age-related cataract patients. Bioinformatics analysis with PolyPhen-2 and SIFT suggested that LRP5L-P36R was pathogenic. LRP5L upregulated laminin γ1 expression in the cytoplasmic proteins of HLE B-3 cells and human anterior lens capsules, and LRP5L-P36R inhibited the effects of LRP5L. LRP5L upregulated c-MAF expression in the nucleus and cytoplasm of HLE B-3 cells, and LRP5L-P36R inhibited c-MAF expression via inhibition of laminin γ1.
CONCLUSION: Our study identified a novel gene, LRP5L, associated with congenital membranous cataract, and its mutant LRP5L-P36R contributed to membranous cataract development via inhibition of laminin γ1 and c-MAF.
