Recent studies have unveiled disrupted metabolism in the progression of cleft palate (CP), a congenital anomaly characterized by defective fusion of facial structures. Nonetheless, the precise composition of this disrupted metabolism remains elusive, prompting us to identify these components and elucidate primary metabolic irregularities contributing to CP pathogenesis. We established a murine CP model by retinoic acid (RA) treatment and analyzed control and RA-treated embryonic palatal tissues by LC-MS-based proteomic approach. We identified 220 significantly upregulated and 224 significantly downregulated proteins. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis revealed that these differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were involved in translation, ribosome assembly, mitochondrial function, mRNA binding, as well as key metabolic pathways like oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and amino acid biosynthesis. These findings suggest that dysregulated ribosome-related pathways and disrupted metabolism play a critical role in CP development. Protein-protein interaction analysis using the STRING database revealed a tightly connected network of DEPs. Furthermore, we identified the top 10 hub proteins in CP using the Cytohubba plugin in Cytoscape. These hub proteins, including RPL8, RPS11, ALB, PA2G4, RPL23, RPS6, CCT7, EGFR, HSPD1, and RPS28, are potentially key regulators of CP pathogenesis. In conclusion, our comprehensive proteomic analysis provides insights into the molecular alterations associated with RA-induced CP in Kun Ming mice. These findings suggest potential therapeutic targets and pathways to understand and prevent congenital craniofacial anomalies.
Cleft palate with ankyloglossia (CPX; OMIM 303400) is inherited as a Mendelian semidominant X-Linked disorder. Linkage studies resulted in mapping CPX to Xq13-q 21-31 region. TBX22 was identified as causing CPX. We report a new mutation in a Tunisian family and the first Arab family with X-Linked cleft palate and ankyloglossia. The family includes 6 affected members, 4 males and 2 females. Linkage study was performed using 9 microsatellite markers surrounding the CPX locus with a maximum lod score 1.81 at theta=0 with several markers. Sequence analysis of TBX22 gene revealed a novel change c.358C>T in exon 3 (R120W) located in the T-BOX domain; this change was present in all affected members and none of the 100 controls. A second modification in exon 4 (c.559G>A) predicted to result in a nonconservative substitution (E187 K) was present in the affected members but also in 2 controls, suggesting a polymorphism which functional role cannot be excluded without further study.
