Study of this disease has provided important insight into cholesterol metabolism and a common metropolitan disease, coronary artery disease. This article presented interviews with some of the key players: Michael R. Hayden, director and senior scientist, Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics, University of British Columbia, Canada; Stephan Rust, cholesterol metabolism group leader at the Institut für Arterioskleroseforschung an der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universistät; and Gerd Schmitz, a physician and director of the Institut for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, University Hospital, Regensburg.

Medline Citation Abstract To define the metabolic defect in Tangier disease, we studied the kinetics of [125I]-high-density lipoprotein apolipoproteins (apolipoproteins A-I and A-II) in 11 normal subjects, two obligate heterozygotes, and two homozygotes. Mean synthesis of apolipoproteins A-1 and A-11 was 8.24 mg per kilogram per day in the normal group, 7.94 in heterozygotes and 3.66 in homozygotes. The mean plasma-residence time for both apolipoproteins was 5.21 days in the normal subjects, 3.41 days in heterozygotes, and 0.52 days in homozygotes. In normal subjects and heterozygotes the apolipoproteins were catabolized at similar rates, whereas in homozygotes apolipoprotein A-I was catabolized at a much greater fractional rate than apolipoprotein A-II. These findings indicate that the deficiency of these apolipoproteins in Tangier disease is largely due to rapid and altered catabolism.

Extractions: February 2000 features mice harboring a targeted mutation of the murine Abc1 gene , encoding ATP-binding cassette 1 (chromosome 4). et al. report that Abc1 homozygous null mice exhibit morphologic alterations and disturbances in their lipoprotein metabolism in concordance with Tangier disease (OMIM: and ). In addition, both Abc1-null mutant and TD cells displayed an extensively expanded Golgi complex. Loss of ABC1 resulted in marked impairment of the secretory pathway involving caveolin. FRAP analysis in vital cells showed that the Golgi secretory route involving vesicular budding was disturbed. Finally, both Abc1-null cells and TD cells were shown to be unable to release cholesterol and phospholipids in the presence of apo-AI, whereas overexpression of human ABC1 resulted in increased export of these lipids from the cell.

Extractions: Dominique Verlaan Cholesterol Efflux: Tangier Disease and the Abc1 gene Tangier Disease (TD) is a rare autosommaly recessive inherited Mendelian disease. Affected individuals usually present very large orange tonsils, enlarged liver, spleen and lymph nodes and most importantly have reduced level of high density lipoproteins (HDL) in their plasma as well as hypocholesterolemia. TD was previously linked to chromosome 9q31. Brooks-Wilson et al. (1999) have done linkage analysis in two TD families in the region of 9q31 and have found a 10 cM candidate region. Mutation screening was performed on three possible gene found in that region, which could be involved in cholesterol efflux. The two TD families were found to have mutations in the Abc1 gene. Those mutations segregate with complete concordance within the family. TD and familial HDL deficiency (FHA) are also shown to be allelic disorder. The Abc1 gene encodes an ATP-binding cassette transporter and is a key gatekeeper in intracellular cholesterol transport. It is part of a superfamily of conserved protein involved in membrane transport of diverse substrates such as amino acids, peptides, vitamins and steroid hormones. Orso et al.

It is unclear at present if Tangier disease is invariably associated with premature coronary heart disease. The images on this slide show the colonic mucosa of a patient with Tangier disease and a biopsy from this mucosa showing the presence of cholesterol laden macrophage foam cells.
Extractions: Slide 19 (click here for details) Mutations in the ATP binding cassette transporter gene (ABC1) causes Tangier disease One of the most exciting findings to emerge from lipid research in recent years has been the discovery that Tangier disease, a condition which is associated in the homozygous state with almost complete lack of circulating HDL and cholesterol accumulation in macrophages, is due to mutations in the ATP binding cassette transporter gene 1 (ABC1). This slide shows the structure of the ABC1 protein as it is located in the plasma membrane and also indicates the position of the amino acid changes which have been described in Tangier disease.

Extractions: Tangier disease. Tangier disease is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by absence of plasma high-density lipoproteins (HDL), cholesterol ester accumulation in macrophages, progressive neuropathy and atherosclerosis. Known by synonyms such as an-a-lipoproteinemia, a-High-Density Lipoprotein Deficiency, alphalipoproteinemia, and Familial Alpha-Lipoprotein Deficiency, Tangier disease is caused by a defect in chromosome 9q31 affecting the gene product ATP binding cassette transporter-1 (ABC-1). The ABC-1 protein controls a cellular pathway that secretes cholesterol and phospholipids to lipid-poor apolipoproteins. The inability of the apolipoproteins to acquire cellular lipids leads to their rapid degradation and an over-accumulation of cholesterol in macrophages. The disorder has been found among inhabitant of Tangier Island in Chesapeake Bay, most of whom are descendants of the first settlers of 1686. Other affected families have been found in Missouri, Kentucky, and Europe. Clinically, enlarged orange-yellow tonsils, hepatosplenomegaly, enlarged lymph nodes, and premature coronary artery disease with an increased risk of myocardial infarction characterize Tangier's disease. In fact, the combination of enlarged orange-yellow tonsils and low plasma cholesterol is considered pathognomonic of the disease. In addition, sensory neuropathy such as slowly progressive pain and temperature loss, facial diplegia, and muscle wasting of the hands are common. Patient's serum displays hypocholesterolemia, markedly reduced high-density lipoproteins, and high triglycerides. No specific treatment is available.
