Mutational spectrum of the CTNS gene in Italy [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Human Genetics, 2003
Classic nephropathic or infantile cystinosis (NC) is an autosomal recessive disorder; the gene coding for the integral membrane protein cystinosin, which is responsible for membrane transport of cystine (CTNS), was cloned. Mutation analysis of the CTNS gene of Caucasian patients revealed a common 57-kb deletion, and several other mutations spread ...

A Leptin Receptor Antagonist Attenuates Adipose Tissue Browning and Muscle Wasting in Infantile Nephropathic Cystinosis-Associated Cachexia

open access: yesCells, 2021
Mice lacking the functional cystinosin gene (Ctns−/−), a model of infantile nephropathic cystinosis (INC), exhibit the cachexia phenotype with adipose tissue browning and muscle wasting.

Targeting interleukin‐1 for reversing fat browning and muscle wasting in infantile nephropathic cystinosis

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2021
Background Ctns−/− mice, a mouse model of infantile nephropathic cystinosis, exhibit hypermetabolism with adipose tissue browning and profound muscle wasting.

Myocardial Injury Predicts Risk of Short-Term All-Cause Mortality in Patients With COVID-19: A Dose–Response Meta-Analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
ObjectivePredictive value of myocardial injury as defined by elevated cardiac tropnins (cTns) in patients with COVID-19 has not been fully investigated. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the dose–response relationship between myocardial injury and

Transcriptional and Posttranscriptional Regulation of the CTNS Gene [PDF]

open access: yesPediatric Research, 2011
Cell cysteine (Cys) levels and/or the [Cys/CySS] redox potential have been shown to regulate mRNA levels of the CTNS gene, which encodes for a lysosomal cystine (CySS) carrier that is defective in cystinosis. To investigate the mechanisms involved CTNS mRNA regulation, different portions of the CTNS promotor were cloned into a luciferase vector and ...

Stem cell microvesicles transfer cystinosin to human cystinotic cells and reduce cystine accumulation in vitro. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Cystinosis is a rare disease caused by homozygous mutations of the CTNS gene, encoding a cystine efflux channel in the lysosomal membrane. In Ctns knockout mice, the pathologic intralysosomal accumulation of cystine that drives progressive organ damage ...

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Gene Therapy for Cystinosis: From Bench-to-Bedside

open access: yesCells, 2021
Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive metabolic disease that belongs to the family of lysosomal storage disorders. The gene involved is the CTNS gene that encodes cystinosin, a seven-transmembrane domain lysosomal protein, which is a proton-driven cystine
