Hepatic arginase deficiency fosters dysmyelination during postnatal CNS development.

, 2019
Deficiency of arginase is associated with hyperargininemia, and prominent features include spastic diplegia/tetraplegia, clonus, and hyperreflexia; loss of ambulation, intellectual disability and progressive neurological decline are other signs.

DataSheet8_Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Impairs Blood-Brain Barrier Partly Due to Release of Arginase From Injured Liver.ZIP

, 2021
Aim: Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (HIR) induces remote organs injury, including the brain. The homeostasis of the brain is maintained by the blood-brain barrier (BBB); thus, we aimed to investigate whether HIR impaired BBB and attempted to elucidate its ...

Deficiency of α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Attenuates Bleomycin-Induced Lung Fibrosis in Mice

Molecular Medicine, 2017
α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR, coded by Chrna7) is indispensable in dampening proinflammatory responses. However, whether α7 nAChR plays a role in regulating bleomycin (BLM)-induced lung fibrosis is less investigated.

Repurposing antimicrobial agents for neuroprotection: Mechanisms, clinical potential, and challenges

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial agents exert neuroprotective effects through modulation of interconnected pathways. Tetracyclines, macrolides, antimalarial agents, sulfones, and antiparasitic agents suppress neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis while preserving mitochondrial function and neurotransmission.

Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell- and mRNA-based Gene Therapy Strategies for Treatment of Arginase Deficiency [PDF]

, 2019
Urea cycle disorders are incurable enzymopathies that affect nitrogen metabolism and typically lead to hyperammonemia. Arginase deficiency is caused by biallelic mutations in ARG1, the final step of the urea cycle, and results biochemically in ...

Sickle Cell Disease: Historical Overview and Current Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide, yet the limited treatment options currently available do not always adequately control the disease and carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment is hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, a procedure that carries considerable challenges and numerous ...

Melittin Reprograms Tumor‐Associated Macrophages Through CD18‐Mediated Immunomodulation

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Melittin selectively targets CD18 to deplete M2‐TAMs and remodel the TME to suppress tumor growth. ABSTRACT Tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs), particularly the M2‐like subtype, contribute to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and promote tumor progression.

Argininemia: Pathophysiology and Novel Methods for Evaluation of the Disease

Applied Sciences
Argininemia or arginase-1 deficiency constitutes a rare, genetic, metabolic disorder caused by mutations in arginase 1—the last enzyme of the urea cycle—that hydrolyses L-arginine to ornithine and urea.
