Clinical, biochemical, and molecular spectrum of nephropathic cystinosis: Two novel CTNS mutations

open access: yesSaudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation
Background: Nephropathic cystinosis (NC) is an autosomal recessive disease. Mutations in the CTNS gene encoding the lysosomal membrane cystine transporter cystinosin are identified as the molecular basis of cystinosis.

Heme Oxygenase‐1 Differentially Controls Pigmentation in Physiological and Pathological Melanogenesis

open access: yesPigment Cell &Melanoma Research, Volume 39, Issue 4, July 2026.
HO‐1 acts as a context‐dependent regulator of pigmentation, enhancing tyrosinase activity and melanin accumulation in melanoma cells while having no detectable effect on pigmentation in the non‐malignant melanocyte models tested. ABSTRACT Melanogenesis is a defining feature of melanocyte biology and influences melanoma pathogenesis; however, tumor ...

The Promoter of a Lysosomal Membrane Transporter Gene, CTNS, Binds Sp-1, Shares Sequences with the Promoter of an Adjacent Gene, CARKL, and Causes Cystinosis If Mutated in a Critical Region

open access: yes, 2001
Although >55 CTNS mutations occur in patients with the lysosomal storage disorder cystinosis, no regulatory mutations have been reported, because the promoter has not been defined. Using CAT reporter constructs of sequences 5′ to the CTNS coding sequence,

Disruption of a cystine transporter downregulates expression of genes involved in sulfur regulation and cellular respiration

open access: yesBiology Open, 2016
Cystine and cysteine are important molecules for pathways such as redox signaling and regulation, and thus identifying cellular deficits upon deletion of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cystine transporter Ers1p allows for a further understanding of cystine

Quantitative in vivo and ex vivo confocal microscopy analysis of corneal cystine crystals in the Ctns−/− knockout mouse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
PurposeThe purpose of this study was to assess the ability of quantitative in vivo confocal microscopy to characterize the natural history and detect changes in crystal volume in corneas from a novel animal model of cystinosis, the cystinosin (Ctns ...

Effect of ELX-02 on pathologic cystine accumulation and mRNA levels in CTNSW138X/del57kb fibroblasts (WG2379).

open access: yes, 2019
A. Half-cystine per mg protein after 72-hour exposure to ELX-02 (200 and 400 μg/mL) was 53% of untreated baseline. B. CTNS transcript levels (RT-qPCR) were increased in CTNSW138X/del57kl fibroblasts treated with ELX-02 (200 and 400 μg/mL) for 72 h ...

Clinical Use and Measurement of Cardiac Troponin (cTn)

open access: yesProceedings of Singapore Healthcare, 2012
Cardiac troponins are cardio-specific and are widely used for the early diagnosis and triage of patients with acute coronary syndromes in conjunction with clinical history, electrocardiographic changes and imaging. Troponin is also useful for the prediction of outcomes in acute coronary syndromes, renal failure, sepsis, and critically ill patients. New
