19844261 Micale L, Turturo MG, Fusco C, Augello B, Jurado LA, Izzi C, Digilio MC, Milani D, Lapi E, Zelante L, Merla G: Identification and characterization of seven novel mutations of elastin gene in a cohort of patients affected by supravalvular aortic stenosis. Eur J Hum Genet. 2010 Mar;18(3):317-23. Epub 2009 Oct 21.

In vitro analysis using minigenes and cycloheximide showed that some selected frameshift mutant alleles are substrates of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), confirming that the functional haploinsufficiency of the ELN gene is the main pathomechanism underlying SVAS.

The induction of elastin hnRNA and mRNA expression by TGF-beta was abolished by pretreatments with TGF-beta receptor I inhibitor, global transcription inhibitor actinomycin D, and partially blocked by addition of protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide, but was not affected by the p44/42 MAPK inhibitor U0126.

Human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were cultured either on gelatin-coated tissue culture polystyrene or in three-dimensional porous scaffolds composed of insoluble collagen and elastin. mRNA concentrations of cyclin E, as a marker of proliferation, and of tissue transglutaminase (tTG) as a marker of apoptosis, quantified by a real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and normalized to porphobilinogen deaminase mRNA concentrations, were analyzed. tTG mRNA expression levels were increased when apoptosis was induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha in combination with cycloheximide or by culturing the cells in serum-free culture medium.

Addition of cycloheximide blocked these increases and the downregulation of elastin mRNA by MG-132.
