Protective role of the alpha-1-antitrypsin in intervertebral disc degeneration

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2021
Background Intervertebral disc degeneration is a complex disease with high prevalence. It suggests that cell death, senescence, and extracellular matrix degradation are involved in the pathogenesis. Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), a serine protease inhibitor,

Mass Spectrometry Structural Proteomics Enabled by Limited Proteolysis and Cross‐Linking

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exploration of protein structure and function stands at the forefront of life science and represents an ever‐expanding focus in the development of proteomics. As mass spectrometry (MS) offers readout of protein conformational changes at both the protein and peptide levels, MS‐based structural proteomics is making significant strides in the

Diagnosis of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency by DNA analysis of children with liver disease

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2001
Background - Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disorder which is transmitted in a co-dominant, autosomal form. Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency affects mainly the lungs and the liver leading, in the latter case, to neonatal cholestasis, chronic ...

All-atom simulations reveal how single point mutations promote serpin misfolding

, 2018
Protein misfolding is implicated in many diseases, including the serpinopathies. For the canonical inhibitory serpin {\alpha}1-antitrypsin (A1AT), mutations can result in protein deficiencies leading to lung disease, and misfolded mutants can accumulate ...

Management of chronic airway diseases:What can we learn from real-life data? [PDF]

, 2017
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (hereafter referred to as bronchiectasis) are distinct but related airway diseases: COPD is characterised by persistent and usually

The Plasma Free Fatty Acid Carrier Proteome is Altered in Diet‐Induced and Genetically Obese Mice

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We aimed to examine the effect of obesity on the plasma free fatty acid (FFA) carrier proteome in mice. Methods From 6 to 20 weeks of age, male and female C57BL/6J wild‐type mice were fed either a low‐fat diet (10% of kilocalories from fat) or a high‐fat diet (60% of kilocalories from fat), and leptin‐deficient ob/ob mice were fed a ...

Comparative evaluation of serum alpha-1antitrypsin levels in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma and in subjects with tobacco habit without carcinoma

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2019
Aim/Objectives: To evaluate serum levels of Alpha-1 antitrypsin in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma and compare them with that of healthy subjects with and without tobacco habits. Materials and Method: The sample of 83 subjects was divided into

CemOrange2 fusions facilitate multifluorophore subcellular imaging in C. elegans [PDF]

, 2019
Due to its ease of genetic manipulation and transparency, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has become a preferred model system to study gene function by microscopy.

Novel Therapeutics for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: From Empirical Bronchodilation to Precision Medicine

Respirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains the third leading cause of death worldwide, and conventional bronchodilator‐based therapies have limited efficacy in preventing exacerbations and disease progression. The 2024–2026 period represents a historic inflection point: three mechanistically distinct agents received Food and Drug ...

Assessing Major Adverse Liver Outcomes With Baclofen Compared to Acamprosate in Compensated Alcohol‐Associated Cirrhosis

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
We conducted a nationwide, multicenter cohort study using a target trial emulation framework to compare baclofen and acamprosate in patients with compensated alcohol‐associated cirrhosis. After matching, baclofen initiation was associated with a higher 1‐year risk of major adverse liver outcomes, driven primarily by hepatic encephalopathy, particularly
