Investigation on ABCC6-Deficient Human Hepatocytes Generated by CRISPR–Cas9 Genome Editing [PDF]
Patients affected by the rare disease pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) exhibit the calcification of elastic fibers in ocular, dermal, and vascular tissues. These symptoms are triggered by mutations in the ATP-binding cassette transporter subfamily C member

ABCC6 deficiency is associated with activation of BMP signaling in liver and kidney [PDF]
Mutations in ABCC6 (ATP‐binding cassette, subfamily C, member 6), an orphan transporter expressed in the liver, are the cause of pseudoxanthoma elasticum.

ABCC6 pathogenic variants are associated with hemorrhagic phenotypes in Japanese patients with severe cerebral small vessel disease [PDF]
ABCC6 pathogenic variants affect ischemic and hemorrhagic lesions in multiple organs and represent the third most common cause of hereditary cerebral small vessel diseases (CSVD) in Japan, yet their CSVD phenotypes remains unclear.

Inhibition of ABCC6 Transporter Modifies Cytoskeleton and Reduces Motility of HepG2 Cells via Purinergic Pathway [PDF]
ABCC6, belonging to sub-family C of ATP-binding cassette transporter, is an ATP-dependent transporter mainly present in the basolateral plasma membrane of hepatic and kidney cells.

Pediatric ABCC6 deficiency: a genotypic and phenotypic analysis [PDF]
Background ABCC6 deficiency is caused by variants in the ABCC6 gene, leading to dysfunction of the ABCC6 protein. This can result in the development of the infantile phenotype, generalized arterial calcification of infancy type 2 (GACI2), or the ...

Loss of ABCC6 in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Leads to Elevated Reactive Oxygen Species Formation and a Senescence-like Phenotype [PDF]
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is an autosomal-recessive disorder caused by mutations in ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 6 (ABCC6). In addition to the calcification and fragmentation of elastic fibers as the pathomechanistic cause of PXE ...

The liver regulates ectopic calcification in Abcc6-deficient models of pseudoxanthoma elasticum [PDF]
Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum (PXE) is a rare disease caused by loss of function of the ATP-binding cassette C (ABC) member 6 (Abcc6) gene and characterized by ectopic calcification of multiple tissues, but the physiological reasons underlying ectopic ...

Conserved transcriptional co-regulation of pyrophosphate homeostasis genes governs systemic mineralization factors in mice and humans [PDF]
Inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) is a key inhibitor of ectopic calcification, yet transcriptional regulation of genes controlling its systemic production and degradation (ABCC6, ALPL, ANKH, and ENPP1) remains poorly understood.

Ocular Manifestations Leading to the Diagnosis of Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum with a Novel Heterozygous ABCC6 Mutation: A Case Report [PDF]
Introduction: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a progressive hereditary disease caused by the calcification and degeneration of elastic fibers, affecting the skin, retina, blood vessels, and gastrointestinal tracts.

Liver-directed base editing of ABCC6 prevents ectopic calcification in a variant-humanized mouse model of pseudoxanthoma elasticum [PDF]
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is an autosomal recessive connective tissue disorder characterized by ectopic calcification of elastic fibers throughout the skin, retina, and arteries.
