A flippase-independent function of ATP8B1, the protein affected in familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1, is required for apical protein expression and microvillus formation in polarized epithelial cells
摘要：
Mutations in ATP8B1 cause familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1, a spectrum of disorders characterized by intrahepatic cholestasis, reduced growth, deafness, and diarrhea. ATP8B1 belongs to the P4 P-type adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) family of putative aminophospholipid translocases, and loss of aminophospholipid asymmetry in the canalicular membranes of ATP8B1-deficient liver cells has been proposed as the primary cause of impaired bile salt excretion. To explore the origin of the hepatic and extrahepatic symptoms associated with ATP8B1 deficiency, we investigated the impact of ATP8B1 depletion on the domain-specific aminophospholipid translocase activities and polarized organization of polarized epithelial Caco-2 cells. Caco-2 cells were stably transfected with short hairpin RNA constructs to block ATP8B1 expression. Aminophospholipid translocase activity was assessed using spin-labeled phospholipids. The polarized organization of these cells was determined by pulse
