Overview

DBA has revealed itself as a "Ribosomapathy. Mutations in ribosomal protein genes have been confirmed to be the direct cause of faulty erythropoiesis and anemia.DBA mutations reduce the actual numbers of ribosomes in blood precursor cells. Without enough ribosomes, the precursors can’t produce enough GATA1, so mature red cells never form. Other blood cells — like platelets, T cells, and B cells — are not affected since they’re not dependent on GATA1. Based on a documented pathogenetic hypothesis which has been named " ribosomal stress ", ultimately a defective ribosome biosynthesis leads to apoptosis in those defective erythroid progenitors which in turn is leading to erythroid failure. In ‘‘ribosomal stress, reduced RP synthesis activates p53 that induces the downstream events and leads to cell cycle termination or apoptosis, leading to erythroid failure.

Pathophysiology

Mutations in ribosomal protein genes have been confirmed to be the direct cause of faulty erythropoiesis and anemia.[1]. DBA has revealed itself as a "Ribosomapthy".

Ribosomal protein gene mutations---> Ribosomal protein Insufficiency ---> Imbalance of Ribosomal Assembly Intermediates ---> Free Ribosomal proteins bind to inhibitors of P53 and Stabilize P53 expression ---> P53 Activation ---> Cell Cycle Arrest

Researchers found Ribosomal protein gene mutations reduce the actual numbers of ribosomes in blood precursor cells. Without enough ribosomes, the precursors can’t produce enough GATA1, which is essential for precursor cells to differentiate into red blood cells, so mature red cells never form. Based on a documented pathogenetic hypothesis which has been named " ribosomal stress ", ultimately a defective ribosome biosynthesis leads to apoptosis in those defective erythroid progenitors which in turn is leading to erythroid failure. In ‘‘ribosomal stress, reduced RP synthesis activates p53 that induces the downstream events and leads to cell cycle termination or apoptosis.[2] Finally, this phenomenon results in the DBA phenotype of anemia, deprived growth, and results in congenital abnormalities. Mutated RP genes in DBA encode ribosomal proteins which are involved in either the small (RPS) or large (RPL) subunits of these proteins and the scarcity of these proteins can result the development of the disease.[3] Other blood cells — like platelets, T cells, and B cells — are not affected and can still develop since they’re not dependent on GATA1.[4][5][6][7][8]

In the remaining 10-15% of DBA cases, no abnormal genes have yet been identified. It is likely that mutations are in a regulatory region including intronic regions and promoters in one of the known RP genes may account for the DBA phenotype. [9]
