Popis: Summary: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major clinical sign of patients with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), especially in those carrying BBS10 mutations. Twenty-nine patients with BBS and 30 controls underwent a serum-targeted metabolomic analysis. In vitro studies were conducted in two kidney-derived epithelial cell lines, where Bbs10 was stably deleted (IMCD3-Bbs10−/−cells) and over-expressed. The CKD status affected plasmatic metabolite fingerprinting in both patients with BBS and controls. Specific phosphatidylcholine and acylcarnitines discriminated eGFR decline only in patients with BBS. IMCD3-Bbs10−/ cells displayed intracellular lipidaccumulation, reduced mitochondrial potential membrane and citrate synthase staining. Mass-Spectrometry-based analysis revealed that human BBS10 interacted with six mitochondrial proteins, in vitro. In conclusion, renal dysfunction correlated with abnormal phosphatidylcholine and acylcarnitines plasma levels in patients with BBS; in vitro, Bbs10 depletion caused mitochondrial defects while human BBS10 interacted with several mitochondria-related proteins, suggesting an unexplored role of this protein.
