Coal tar and glucocorticosteroids are among the preparations used for the treatment of hyperproliferative inflammatory dermatosis. Coal tar generally seems to have a better effect on psoriasis capillitii than betamethasone-17-valerate. This finding is confirmed by investigations with human skin fibroblasts. The coal tar preparation Berniter has a strongly inhibitory effect on cell proliferation. The action of the preparation with tar can be clearly distinguished from the effect of the vehicle. At the ED50 concentration of the substance with tar, the vehicle without tar causes no inhibition. Based on weight equivalents Berniter has a greater inhibitory effect on proliferation of human skin fibroblasts than clobetasol-17-propionate. In the case of both substances protein biosynthesis is only affected at concentrations higher than those needed for the inhibition of proliferation. Berniter and the vehicle without tar have an equally strong effect on protein synthesis. Berniter affects the nucleoside triphosphatase bound to the nuclear membrane, and thus influences the nucleocytoplasmic transport of mRNA. The effect of the vehicle and the preparation containing tar on this parameter are very similar. Berniter has a positive effect on cell mobility. In preconfluent cultures the mobility of the cell is slightly increased and in confluent cultures significantly. Our results show that Berniter inhibits proliferation in cell cultures of human skin fibroblasts to a higher degree than clobetasol-17-propionate. It is to be assumed that neither the inhibition of protein synthesis nor the inhibition of mRNA transport play a causal role in the antiproliferative effect of coal tar. Inhibition of proliferation as a result of general damage to the cell can also be practically ruled out.

Darier disease (DD) is an autosomal-dominant skin disorder characterized by loss of adhesion between epidermal cells (acantholysis) and abnormal keratinization. Recently we constructed a 2.4-Mb, P1-derived artificial chromosome contig spanning the DD candidate region on chromosome 12q23-24.1. After screening several genes that mapped to this region, we identified mutations in the ATP2A2 gene, which encodes the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2(+)-ATPase type 2 isoform (SERCA2) and is highly expressed in keratinocytes. Thirteen mutations were identified, including frameshift deletions, in-frame deletions or insertions, splice-site mutations and non-conservative missense mutations in functional domains. Our results demonstrate that mutations in ATP2A2 cause DD and disclose a role for this pump in a Ca(2+)-signalling pathway regulating cell-to-cell adhesion and differentiation of the epidermis.

Darier's disease (DD) is an autosomal dominantly inherited skin disorder characterized by loss of adhesion between epidermal cells (acantholysis) and abnormal keratinization. Recently, we identified ATP2A2 encoding the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)ATPase isoform 2 as the defective gene in DD. Now we report a spectrum of ATP2A2 mutations in 19 families and six sporadic cases with DD and investigate genotype-phenotype correlations. All 21 exons and flanking intron boundaries were amplified and screened for mutations by conformation-sensitive gel electrophoresis and direct sequencing. We identified 24 novel mutations that are scattered throughout the ATP2A2 gene. Two families shared an identical mutation on a common disease-associated haplotype, suggesting inheritance from a common ancestor. The majority of the mutations (54%; 13/24) led to a premature termination codon which further supports the proposal that haploin-sufficiency is a common molecular mechanism for DD. Thirty-eight per cent of mutations (9/24) result in non-conservative amino acid substitutions at highly conserved positions. Two mutations predict mutated polypeptides lacking or carrying additional amino acids. Marked inter- and intrafamilial phenotypic variability of the disease was observed. These results illustrate the considerable diversity of ATP2A2 mutations causing DD and suggest that additional factors are important contributors to the clinical phenotype.

Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is an autosomal dominant skin disorder characterized by suprabasal cell separation (acantholysis) of the epidermis. Previous genetic linkage studies localized the gene to a 5 cM interval on human chromosome 3q21. After reducing the disease critical region to <1 cM, we used a positional cloning strategy to identify the gene ATP2C1, which is mutated in HHD. ATP2C1 encodes a new class of P-type Ca(2+)-transport ATPase, which is the homologue for the rat SPLA and the yeast PMR1 medial Golgi Ca(2+)pumps and is related to the sarco(endo)plasmic calcium ATPase (SERCA) and plasma membrane calcium ATPase (PCMA) families of Ca(2+)pumps. The predicted protein has the same apparent transmembrane organization and contains all of the conserved domains present in other P-type ATPases. ATP2C1 produces two alternative splice variants of approximately 4.5 kb encoding predicted proteins of 903 and 923 amino acids. We identified 13 different mutations, including nonsense, frameshift insertion and deletions, splice-site mutations, and non-conservative missense mutations. This study demonstrates that defects in ATP2C1 cause HHD and together with the recent identification of ATP2A2 as the defective gene in Darier's disease, provide further evidence of the critical role of Ca(2+)signaling in maintaining epidermal integrity.

Bipolar affective disorder is a genetically complex psychiatric disorder with a population prevalence of approximately 1%. We have previously reported cosegregation of bipolar affective disorder and Darier's disease, a dominant skin disorder with a neuropsychiatric component. The gene for Darier's disease was mapped to chromosome 12q23-q24.1 and linkage studies by us and others have subsequently implicated this region as harbouring a susceptibility gene for bipolar affective disorder. In this study we have investigated the Darier's disease gene ATP2A2, the calcium pumping ATPase SERCA2, as a potential susceptibility gene for bipolar disorder under the hypothesis that variations in SERCA2 have pleiotropic effects in brain. Support for this hypothesis comes from clinical evidence of neuropsychiatric abnormalities in Darier's disease, genetic data produced in our study showing non-random clustering of missense mutations in ATP2A2 in neuropsychiatric Darier patients, and functional data demonstrating the role of SERCA2 in intracellular calcium regulation. In a panel of 15 unrelated bipolar patients from multiply affected families showing increased allele sharing at markers in the 12q23-q24.1 region, we performed mutational screening of the ATP2A2 coding sequence, promoter regions, and 3' untranslated region and identified six sequence variations. These were analysed in a large sample of bipolar patients (n = 324) and control subjects (n = 327). Analysis of allele and genotype distributions for all six variations, and of haplotype frequencies showed no evidence for the involvement of ATP2A2 in producing susceptibility to bipolar disorder.

Mutations in the human ATP2A2 gene, encoding sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase isoform 2 (SERCA2), cause Darier disease, an autosomal dominant skin disease characterized by multiple keratotic papules in the seborrheic regions of the body. Mice with a single functional Atp2a2 allele (the mouse homolog of ATP2A2) were shown previously to have reduced levels of SERCA2 in heart and mildly impaired cardiac contractility and relaxation. Here we show that aged heterozygous mutant (Atp2a2(+/-)) mice develop squamous cell tumors of the forestomach, esophagus, oral mucosa, tongue, and skin. Squamous cell tumors occurred in 13/14 Atp2a2(+/-) mice but were not observed in age- and sex-matched wild-type controls. Hyperkeratinized squamous cell papillomas and carcinomas of the upper digestive tract were the most frequent finding among Atp2a2(+/-) mice, and many animals had multiple tumors. Western blot analyses showed that SERCA2 protein levels were reduced in skin and other affected tissues of heterozygous mice. The development of squamous cell tumors in aged Atp2a2(+/-) mice indicates that SERCA2 haploinsufficiency predisposes murine keratinocytes to neoplasia. These findings provide the first direct demonstration that a perturbation of Ca(2+) homeostasis or signaling can serve as a primary initiating event in cancer.

Darier's disease (DD) is a rare, dominantly inherited skin disorder with abnormal keratinization and acantholysis. Recently, mutations of ATP2A2 encoding the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase type 2 isoform (SERCA2) have been reported in Caucasian DD families. In the present study, we examined the ATP2A2 gene mutations of three sporadic (AS1,AS3,AS4) and one familial (AS2) Japanese DD patients. Sequence analysis revealed that the patients had novel mutations, one nonsense mutation (AS1 (C613X)) and three single base changes leading to amino acid substitutions (AS2 (L321F), AS3 (I274V), and AS4 (M719I)). These results demonstrate that distinct ATP2A2 gene mutations are present in Japanese DD patients.

Hailey-Hailey disease is an autosomal dominant skin disorder characterized by suprabasal cell separation (acantholysis) of the epidermis. Mutations in ATP2C1, the gene encoding a novel, P-type Ca2+-transport ATPase, were recently found to cause Hailey-Hailey disease. In this study, we used conformation-sensitive gel electrophoresis to screen all 28 translated exons of ATP2C1 in 24 Hailey-Hailey disease families and three sporadic cases with the disorder. We identified 22 different mutations, 18 of which have not previously been reported, in 25 probands. The novel mutations comprise three nonsense, six insertion/deletion, three splice-site, and six missense mutations and are distributed throughout the ATP2C1 gene. Six mutations were found in multiple families investigated here or in our previous study. Haplotype analysis revealed that two of these are recurrent mutations that have not been inherited from a common ancestor. Comparison between genotype and phenotype in 23 families failed to yield any clear correlation between the nature of the mutation and clinical features of Hailey-Hailey disease. The extensive interfamilial and intrafamilial phenotypic variability observed suggests that modifying genes and/or environmental factors may greatly influence the clinical features of this disease.

Darier's disease is an autosomal dominant skin disorder that is characterized by multiple keratotic papules, focal loss of adhesion and abnormal keratinization. Mutations in the ATP2A2 gene encoding sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium pumping ATPase type 2 have been identified as the molecular basis of Darier's disease. Segmental Darier's disease is a rare type of Darier's disease in which there is characteristic localization of the keratotic papules in a linear pattern following Blaschko's lines. In this study we examined ATP2A2 mutations in a Japanese patient with segmental Darier's disease. The samples from affected skin, unaffected skin and peripheral leucocytes were subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Direct sequencing of the PCR products was performed. Sequence analysis revealed that the patient had 160A-->G substitution mutation which predicts I54V. This novel mutation was present in the affected skin, but not in the unaffected skin or peripheral leucocytes. This is the first report of segmental Darier's disease caused by mosaicism for an ATP2A2 mutation in Japan.

Darier's disease is an autosomal dominantly inherited skin disorder, characterized by loss of adhesion between epidermal cells and abnormal keratinization. ATP2A2 encoding the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA)2 has been identified as the defective gene in Darier's disease. All mutations previously reported occur in the region of ATP2A2 encoding both SERCA2a and SERCA2b isoforms. These isoforms result from alternative splicing of exon 20, with SERCA2b being the major isoform expressed in the epidermis. In this report, we studied a family affected with Darier's disease and identified a deletion (2993delTG) in a region of exon 20 of ATP2A2, which is specific for SERCA2b. This heterozygous mutation predicts a frameshift with a premature termination codon (PTC+32aa) in the eleventh transmembrane domain of SERCA2b. It segregates with the disease phenotype in the family members tested, and functional analysis shows a drastic reduction of the expression of the mutated protein in comparison with the wild-type SERCA2b. Our result suggests that the mutated allele causes the disease phenotype through loss of function of SERCA2b isoform. This finding indicates that SERCA2b plays a key role in the biology of the epidermis, and its defects are sufficient to cause Darier's disease.
