Disease relevance of SLC12A3

  • We genotyped 11 common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SLC12A3 gene in 177 patients with ESRD due to type 2 diabetes and 184 patients with diabetic retinopathy but with no signs of renal involvement [1].
  • In contrast, NCCT patients had hypocalciuria, hypomagnesemia, and marked hypokalemia [2].
  • We examined the genetic involvement of the TSC gene in essential hypertension in Japanese. DESIGN: Participants were recruited from outpatients of Osaka University Hospital. We investigated 386 hypertensive and 371 normotensive subjects [3].
  • Simultaneous mutations in the CLCNKB and SLC12A3 genes in two siblings with phenotypic heterogeneity in classic Bartter syndrome [4].
  • BACKGROUND: To investigate the genetic cause of inherited hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis associated with Gitelman's syndrome, we searched for mutations in the SLC12A3 gene (thiazide-sensitive NaCl cotransporter) among a set of patients from the Czech Republic and Slovakia [5].
 

High impact information on SLC12A3

  • Our survey of more than 1,200 SNPs indicates that more than 80% of TSC and Washington University candidate SNPs are polymorphic and that approximately 50% of the candidate SNPs from these two sources are common SNPs (with minor allele frequency of > or =20%) in any given population [6].
  • Wild-type WNK4 inhibits NCCT-mediated Na-influx by reducing membrane expression of the cotransporter ((22)Na-influx reduced 50%, P < 1 x 10(-9), surface expression reduced 75%, P < 1 x 10(-14) in the presence of WNK4) [7].
  • PHAII-causing missense mutations, which are remote from the kinase domain, also prevent inhibition of NCCT activity, providing insight into the pathophysiology of the disorder [7].
  • To address this possibility, we measured NCCT-mediated Na(+) influx and membrane expression in the presence of wild-type and mutant WNK4 by heterologous expression in Xenopus oocytes [7].
  • The Cl(-) dependence of PHAII phenotypes, their sensitivity to thiazide diuretics, and the observation that they constitute a "mirror image" of the phenotypes resulting from loss of function mutations in the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter (NCCT) suggest that PHAII may result from increased NCCT activity due to altered WNK signaling [7].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of SLC12A3

  • In a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial, TSC 30% was compared with unfractionated heparin 5000 U/ml for prevention of catheter-related infections, thrombosis, and bleeding complications [8].
  • BACKGROUND: The combination of isosulfan blue (Lymphazurin) 1% and 99(m)Tc sulfur colloid (TSC) may improve the feasibility and accuracy of lymphatic mapping for colorectal cancer [9].
 

Biological context of SLC12A3

 

Anatomical context of SLC12A3

  • OBJECTIVE: The thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter (TSC) is located in the distal renal tubules [3].
  • In this study, extensive mutational analyses of SLC12A3 were performed in 27 patients with GS, including genomic DNA sequencing, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, cDNA analysis, and quantification of allele-specific transcripts, in parallel with functional analyses in Xenopus laevis oocytes and detailed phenotyping [15].
  • This promoter, and all other promoter constructs from SLC12A3, displayed repressor activity in CHO cells [16].
  • Protein-DNA interactions between the 182 bp region immediately upstream of the start codon and the nuclear proteins from rat kidney cortex and HeLa cells were examined to further clarify the role of the putative binding sites for SLC12A3 expression [16].
  • We sequenced 1959 bp of the 5' flanking region of human SLC12A3, located the area of transcription initiation, and used deletion constructs of the flanking region to determine areas that affect reporter gene expression in two cell lines, MDCT and CHO [16].
 

Associations of SLC12A3 with chemical compounds

  • Polymorphism of the solute carrier family 12 (sodium/chloride transporters) member 3, SLC12A3, gene at exon 23 (+78G/A: Arg913Gln) is associated with elevation of urinary albumin excretion in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes: a 10-year longitudinal study [11].
  • The majority of patients with Gitelman syndrome carry inactivating mutations in the SLC12A3 gene encoding the sodium-chloride cotransporter located in the distal convoluted tubule [12].
  • RESULTS: All patients were homozygous for the same splice site mutation, guanine to thymine in the first position of intron 9 of SLC12A3 gene [12].
  • Molecular cloning, expression pattern, and chromosomal localization of the human Na-Cl thiazide-sensitive cotransporter (SLC12A3) [17].
  • The homology of the hTSC with rat TSC (rTSC) and rat bumetanide-sensitive sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter (rBSC) was 86% and 64%, respectively, at the nucleotide level, and 92% and 61%, respectively, at the amino acid level [18].
 

Regulatory relationships of SLC12A3

  • Recent studies have revealed that cell surface expression of TSC is regulated by WNK1 and WNK4 [19].
