BACKGROUND: Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a genetic disorder caused by aberrant motile cilia function that results in defective ciliary airway clearance and subsequently leads to recurrent airway infections and bronchiectasis. We aimed to determine: how many functional multiciliated airway cells are sufficient to maintain ciliary airway clearance?
METHODS: To answer this question we exploited the molecular defects of the X-linked recessive primary ciliary dyskinesia variant caused by pathogenic variants in DNAAF6 (PIH1D3), characterised by immotile cilia in affected males. We carefully analysed the clinical phenotype and molecular defect (using immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy) and performed in vitro studies (particle tracking in air-liquid interface cultures) and in vivo studies (radiolabelled tracer studies) to assess ciliary clearance of respiratory cells from female individuals with heterozygous and male individuals with hemizygous pathogenic DNAAF6 variants.
RESULTS: Primary ciliary dyskinesia male individuals with hemizygous pathogenic DNAAF6 variants displayed exclusively immotile cilia, absence of ciliary clearance and severe primary ciliary dyskinesia symptoms. Owing to random or skewed X-chromosome inactivation in six female carriers with heterozygous pathogenic DNAAF6 variants, 54.3±10% (range 38-70%) of multiciliated cells were defective. Nevertheless, in vitro and in vivo assessment of the ciliary airway clearance was normal or slightly abnormal. Consistently, heterozygous female individuals showed no or only mild respiratory symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that having 30-62% of multiciliated respiratory cells functioning can generate either normal or slightly reduced ciliary clearance. Because heterozygous female carriers displayed either no or subtle respiratory symptoms, complete correction of 30% of cells by precision medicine could improve ciliary airway clearance in individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia, as well as clinical symptoms.
