IFITM5 c.−14C>T mutation causes variable type V osteogenesis imperfecta phenotype and decreased COL1A1 expression but increased mineralization by cultured proband osteoblasts

Introduction: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by bone fragility. OI type V, with autosomal dominant inheritance, is characterized by ossification of the forearm interosseus membrane, radiodense metaphyseal bands, propensity for hyperplastic callus formation, and mesh-like lamellation on bone histology. Type V OI probands are reported to have white sclerae and normal teeth. Recent reports identified the cause of type V OI as a ...

Bone tissue phenotyping reveals increased matrix mineralization, elevated osteocyte lacunar density and altered vascularity in a new OI mouse model carrying a leucine substitution for the BRIL p.Serine42 residue

Objectives: A common feature of nearly all forms of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a hypermineralized bone matrix. Null mutations in SERPINF1, encoding the potent antiangiogenic factor PEDF, lead to type VI OI with excessive osteoid formation, abnormal osteoblast-osteocyte development and increased matrix mineralization. Recently, atypical type VI OI has been delineated, caused by a loss-of-function mutation (p.S40L) in IFITM5 the causative gene for type V OI. The 6 cases rep...

A novel mutation in IFITM5, encoding BRIL, impairs osteoblast production of PEDF and causes atypical type VI osteogenesis imperfecta

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type V is caused by a unique dominant mutation (c.−14C>T) in IFITM5, which encodes BRIL, a transmembrane ifitm-like protein most strongly expressed in osteoblasts, while type VI OI is caused by recessive null mutations in SERPINF1, encoding pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF). We identified a 25-year-old woman with severe OI, whose dermal fibroblasts and cultured osteoblasts displayed minimal secretion of PEDF, but ...

Lack of PEDF within the bone matrix is associated with osteoidosis and abnormally high bone mineral content

Background and methods: Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a potent antiangiogenic factor, ubiquitously expressed and secreted in human tissues. Hypertrophic cartilage and osteoblasts express PEDF that binds to type I collagen and glycosaminoglycans in the extracellular matrix. Two rare forms of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) with intact collagen synthesis are associated with PEDF deficiency. Histological observations revealed excessive osteoid formation and prolonged m...

Bone with uncleavable type I collagen C-propeptide has abnormal development of multiple bone cell populations and increased bone mineral density with age

Mutations in the C-propeptide cleavage site of both COL1A1 and COL1A2 cause dominant high bone mass (HBM) osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), characterized by bone hypermineralization. To elucidate the role of C-propeptide processing in bone formation, we generated heterozygous HBM mice in which both residues of the COL1A1 cleavage site were mutated to prevent cleavage by BMP1. HBM mice are smaller than WT in both weight and length and have extremely brittle bones....
