GSTP1 knockdown induces metabolic changes affecting energy production and lipid balance in pancreatic cancer cells [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive cancer with limited treatment options, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic targets. Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of PDAC, enabling tumor cells to sustain rapid proliferation and ...

Pyridoxine-Dependent Epilepsy in Zebrafish Caused by Aldh7a1 Deficiency [PDF]
AbstractPyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a severe neonatal seizure disorder and is here modeled in aldh7a1 -/- zebrafish. Mutant larvae display spontaneous..Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare disease characterized by mutations in the lysine degradation gene ALDH7A1 leading to recurrent neonatal seizures, which are uniquely alleviated ...

Global Metabolomics Discovers Two Novel Biomarkers in Pyridoxine-Dependent Epilepsy Caused by ALDH7A1 Deficiency [PDF]
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare autosomal recessive developmental and epileptic encephalopathy caused by pathogenic variants in the ALDH7A1 gene (PDE-ALDH7A1), which mainly has its onset in neonates and infants. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent severe neurological sequelae or death.

Biochemical, structural, and computational analyses of two new clinically identified missense mutations of ALDH7A1. [PDF]
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 7A1 (ALDH7A1) catalyzes a step of lysine catabolism. Certain missense mutations in the ALDH7A1 gene cause pyridoxine dependent epilepsy (PDE), a rare autosomal neurometabolic disorder with recessive inheritance that affects almost 1:65,000 live births and is classically characterized by recurrent seizures from the neonatal period.

Structural and kinetic studies of human aldh7a1 and aldh9a1 [PDF]
The regulation and detoxification of endogenously and exogenously derived aldehydes is paramount to cellular survival due to the highly reactive nature of aldehydes as electrophiles. Human aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) are a superfamily of oxidoreductase enzymes that have critical roles in this regulation and detoxification.

The impact of ALDH7A1 variants in oral cancer development and prognosis [PDF]
The gene encoding aldehyde dehydrogenase 7 family member A1 (ALDH7A1) has been associated with the development and prognosis in multiple cancers; however, the role of ALDH7A1 polymorphisms in oral cancer remains unknown. For this purpose, the influences of ALDH7A1 rs13182402 and rs12659017 on oral cancer development and prognosis were analyzed.

Atypical pyridoxine dependent epilepsy resulting from a new homozygous missense mutation, in ALDH7A1 [PDF]
Pyridoxine dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare autosomal recessive neurometabolic disorder. In the classical form, seizures are observed within the first month of life, while in the atypical form seizures appear later in life, sometimes as late as at the age of 3 years of life.

Genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (ALDH7A1 deficiency) [PDF]
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy was recently shown to be due to mutations in the ALDH7A1 gene, which encodes antiquitin, an enzyme that catalyses the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent dehydrogenation of l-alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde/L-Delta1-piperideine 6-carboxylate.
