Anticalcification effects of DS-1211 in pseudoxanthoma elasticum mouse models and the role of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase in ABCC6-deficient ectopic calcification

Scientific Reports, 2022
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a multisystem, genetic, ectopic mineralization disorder with no effective treatment. Inhibition of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) may prevent ectopic soft tissue calcification by increasing endogenous ...

The Human Face of ABCC6 [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2020
Researchers working on basic and translational clinical science related to ABC transporters are enthusiastic and dedicated investigators. As the field has grown, so has its contribution to human disease. Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) International, an advocacy organization established by non‐scientists, began supporting research and convenings on ...

The Consideration of Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum as a Progeria Syndrome

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2023
Background: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ATP-binding cassette sub-family C member 6 (ABCC6) gene.

ABCC6 Knockdown Fuels Cell Proliferation by Regulating PPARα in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
The ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter family is ubiquitous in eukaryotes, specifically in vertebrates, and plays a crucial role in energy homeostasis, cell signaling, and drug resistance.

ABCC6-Related Left Ventricular Papillary Muscle Calcification. [PDF]

JACC Case Rep
Extensive papillary muscle calcification may be observed in ischemic heart disease or after thoracic radiotherapy. Rarely, it can be part of an underlying Mendelian disorder.A 70-year-old woman presented with bilateral angioid streaks on funduscopy, identified after a transient ischemic attack.

Lifelong impact of ENPP1 Deficiency and the early onset form of ABCC6 Deficiency from patient or caregiver perspective

PLoS ONE, 2022
The ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase family member 1 (ENPP1) and ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 6 (ABCC6) proteins play a prominent role in inhibiting ectopic calcification and arterial stenosis. Patients with ENPP1 Deficiency or

Abcc6 Null Mice—a Model for Mineralization Disorder PXE Shows Vertebral Osteopenia Without Enhanced Intervertebral Disc Calcification With Aging

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Chronic low back pain is a highly prevalent health condition intricately linked to intervertebral disc degeneration. One of the prominent features of disc degeneration that is commonly observed with aging is dystrophic calcification. ATP-binding cassette

A Spectrum of ABCC6 Mutations Is Responsible for Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum [PDF]

The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2001
To better understand the pathogenetics of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), we performed a mutational analysis of ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 6 (ABCC6) in 122 unrelated patients with PXE, the largest cohort of patients yet studied. Thirty-six mutations were characterized, and, among these, 28 were novel variants (for a total of 43 PXE ...

Role of ABCC6 in PXE and cancer therapy

, 2021
ABCC6 is a membrane transporter whose mutations cause the Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), a complex autosomal recessive disease characterized by ectopic mineralization of soft connective tissues.
