Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by impaired mucociliary clearance due to defects in motile cilia. This study investigates the impact of loss-of-function mutations in the gene on the ciliary structure and function in three PCD patients. Using a multimodal approach, we integrated molecular genetic testing, transmission electron microscopy, the high-speed video microscopy assay and immunofluorescence staining to analyze ciliary motility and protein expression in both ex vivo and in vitro-obtained ciliary cells. Our results revealed that the pathogenic variant c.198_200delinsCC (p.Phe67ProfsTer10) in led to the absence of the functional CFAP300 protein, the complete loss of outer and inner dynein arms and immotile cilia. Air-liquid interface (ALI)-cultured cells from patients exhibited no ciliary beating, contrasting with healthy controls. Immunostaining confirmed the absence of CFAP300 in patient-derived cilia, underscoring its critical role in dynein arm assembly. These findings highlight the diagnostic utility of ALI cultures combined with functional and protein analyses for PCD, offering a clinically actionable framework that can be readily incorporated into standard diagnostic workflows.
原发性纤毛运动障碍(PCD)是一种基因异质性疾病,其特征是由于运动性纤毛缺陷导致黏液纤毛清除功能受损。本研究调查了该基因功能丧失突变对三名PCD患者纤毛结构和功能的影响。我们采用多模态方法,整合分子遗传学检测、透射电子显微镜、高速视频显微镜检测和免疫荧光染色,以分析体外和体外获得的纤毛细胞中的纤毛运动和蛋白质表达。我们的结果显示,该基因中的致病变异c.198_200delinsCC(p.Phe67ProfsTer10)导致功能性CFAP300蛋白缺失、外动力蛋白臂和内动力蛋白臂完全丧失以及纤毛运动不能。与健康对照相比,患者的气液界面(ALI)培养细胞未表现出纤毛摆动。免疫染色证实患者来源的纤毛中不存在CFAP300,强调了其在动力蛋白臂组装中的关键作用。这些发现突出了ALI培养结合功能和蛋白质分析对PCD的诊断效用,提供了一个可轻松纳入标准诊断工作流程的临床可行框架。
