Disease[CAH2_HUMAN] Defects in CA2 are the cause of osteopetrosis autosomal recessive type 3 (OPTB3) [MIM:259730]; also known as osteopetrosis with renal tubular acidosis, carbonic anhydrase II deficiency syndrome, Guibaud-Vainsel syndrome or marble brain disease. Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disease characterized by abnormally dense bone, due to defective resorption of immature bone. The disorder occurs in two forms: a severe autosomal recessive form occurring in utero, infancy, or childhood, and a benign autosomal dominant form occurring in adolescence or adulthood. Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis is usually associated with normal or elevated amount of non-functional osteoclasts. OPTB3 is associated with renal tubular acidosis, cerebral calcification (marble brain disease) and in some cases with mental retardation.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Function[CAH2_HUMAN] Essential for bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation (By similarity). Reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. Can hydrate cyanamide to urea. Involved in the regulation of fluid secretion into the anterior chamber of the eye.[6] [7] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe endosomal Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8) recognizes single-stranded RNA and initiates early inflammatory responses. Despite the importance of endosomal TLRs for human host defense against microbial pathogens, extensive activation may contribute to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. In contrast to the recent progress made in the development of modulators of plasma membrane-bound TLRs, little is known about endosomal TLR modulation and very few TLR8 inhibitors have been reported. In this study, we discovered and validated novel small-molecule TLR8 inhibitors. Fourteen potential TLR8 modulators were experimentally validated in HEK293T cells stably overexpressing human TLR8 and THP-1 macrophages. Five compounds inhibited TLR8-mediated signaling, representing a hit rate of 36%. The three most potent compounds neither cause cellular toxicity nor inhibition of TLR signaling induced by other receptor subtypes. Conclusively, we experimentally confirm novel and selective, pyrimidine-based TLR8 inhibitors with low cytotoxicity that are relevant candidates for lead optimization and further mechanistic studies.
