Acute liver failure-induced arginine deficiency impairs blood-brain barrier via inhibiting mTORC1-S6K1/4EBP1 pathway and inducing autophagy. [PDF]

open access: yesCell Death Dis
Blood-brain barrier (BBB) impairment plays a crucial role in the development of hepatic encephalopathy. Our previous work demonstrated that hepatic ischemia-reperfusion-induced acute liver failure (ALF) impairs the BBB by releasing arginase, but the ...

Arginase activity - a marker of disease status in patients with visceral leishmaniasis in ethiopia. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The underlying mechanisms resulting in the profound immune suppression characteristic of human visceral leishmaniasis (VL) are not fully understood. Here, we tested the hypothesis that arginase, an enzyme associated with immunosuppression, is higher in ...

Epithelial arginase-1 is a key mediator of age-associated delayed healing in vaginal injury

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Pelvic organ prolapse is a disorder that substantially affects the quality of life of millions of women worldwide. The greatest risk factors for prolapse are increased parity and older age, with the largest group requiring surgical intervention being ...

Cytotoxicity of tumor antigen specific human T cells is unimpaired by arginine depletion. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Tumor-growth is often associated with the expansion of myeloid derived suppressor cells that lead to local or systemic arginine depletion via the enzyme arginase.

Review of Multi-Modal Imaging in Urea Cycle Disorders: The Old, the New, the Borrowed, and the Blue

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2021
The urea cycle disorders (UCD) are rare genetic disorder due to a deficiency of one of six enzymes or two transport proteins that act to remove waste nitrogen in form of ammonia from the body.

Arginase from kiwifruit: properties and seasonal variation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The in vitro activity of arginase (EC 3.5.3.1) was investigated in youngest-mature leaves and roots (1-3 mm diameter) of kiwifruit vines (Actinidia deliciosa var. deliciosa) during an annual growth cycle, and enzyme from root material partially purified.

Local increase of arginase activity in lesions of patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis in Ethiopia. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease that is in Ethiopia mainly caused by the parasite Leishmania aethiopica. This neglected tropical disease is common in rural areas and causes serious morbidity.

Novel ARG1 variants identified in a patient with arginase 1 deficiency

open access: yesHuman Genome Variation, 2021
We report a case of a 13-year-old boy with arginase 1 deficiency carrying a new variant in ARG1. Sanger sequencing identified the compound heterozygous variants: NM_000045.4: c.365G>A (p.Trp122*)/c.820G>A (p.Asp274Asn).

Age-related alteration of arginase activity impacts on severity of leishmaniasis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
BACKGROUND: The leishmaniases are a group of vector-borne parasitic diseases that represent a major international public health problem; they belong to the most neglected tropical diseases and have one of the highest rates of morbidity and mortality. The

Mouse Model for Human Arginase Deficiency [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Biology, 2002
Deficiency of liver arginase (AI) causes hyperargininemia (OMIM 207800), a disorder characterized by progressive mental impairment, growth retardation, and spasticity and punctuated by sometimes fatal episodes of hyperammonemia. We constructed a knockout mouse strain carrying a nonfunctional AI gene by homologous recombination.
