Insights into the renal pathophysiology in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome-1 from urinary extracellular vesicle proteomics and a new mouse model.

ABSTRACT: Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type 1 (HPS-1) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder caused by defects in the biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex-3 (BLOC-3). Impaired kidney function is among its clinical manifestations. To investigate HPS-1 renal involvement, we employed 1D-gel-LC-MS/MS and compared the protein composition of urinary extracellular vesicles (uEVs) from HPS-1 patients to normal control individuals. We identified 1029 proteins, 149 of which were altered in HPS-1 uEVs. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis revealed disruptions in mitochondrial function and the LXR/RXR pathway that regulates lipid metabolism, which is supported by our novel Hps1 knockout mouse. Serum concentration of the LXR/RXR pathway protein ApoA1 in our patient cohort was positively correlated with kidney f
