The CTNS-MTORC1 axis couples lysosomal cystine to epithelial cell fate decisions and is a targetable pathway in cystinosis

open access: yesAutophagy, 2023
Differentiation and fate decisions are critical for the epithelial cells lining the proximal tubule (PT) of the kidney, but the signals involved remain unknown.

[Cystinosis: From the gene identification to the first gene therapy clinical trial].

open access: yesMedecine sciences : M/S, 2023
Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive metabolic disease characterized by lysosomal accumulation of cystine in all the cells of the body. Infantile cystinosis begins in infancy by a renal Fanconi syndrome and eventually leads to multi-organ failure ...

Worldwide disparities in access to treatment and investigations for nephropathic cystinosis: a 2023 perspective

open access: yesPediatric nephrology (Berlin, West), 2023
Nephropathic cystinosis (NC) is a rare lysosomal disease, leading to early kidney failure and extra-renal comorbidities. Its prognosis strongly relies on early diagnosis and treatment by cysteamine.

Evaluation of the efficacy of cystinosin supplementation through CTNS mRNA delivery in experimental models for cystinosis

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Messenger RNA (mRNA) therapies are emerging in different disease areas, but have not yet reached the kidney field. Our aim was to study the feasibility to treat the genetic defect in cystinosis using synthetic mRNA in cell models and ctns ^−/− zebrafish ...

ER-associated degradation in cystinosis pathogenesis and the prospects of precision medicine

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2023
Cystinosis is a lysosomal storage disease that is characterized by the accumulation of dipeptide cystine within the lumen. It is caused by mutations in the cystine exporter, cystinosin.

Enteric-Coated Cysteamine Bitartrate in Cystinosis Patients

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2023
Cystinosis is a severe inherited metabolic storage disease caused by the lysosomal accumulation of cystine. Lifelong therapy with the drug cysteamine bitartrate is necessary. Cysteamine cleaves intralysosomal cystine, and thereafter, it can exit from the

Thermo-responsive and mucoadhesive gels for the treatment of cystinosis.

open access: yesBiomaterials Advances, 2023
Mucoadhesive thermogels were developed by crosslinking poly(n-isopropylacrylamide) based polymers with chitosan and incorporating disulfide bridges, capable of releasing cysteamine upon interaction with mucin, for the treatment of cystinosis.

Assessing the integrity of auditory processing and sensory memory in adults with cystinosis (CTNS gene mutations)

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2021
Background Cystinosis, a rare lysosomal storage disease, is characterized by cystine crystallization and accumulation within tissues and organs, including the kidneys and brain.

The Pitfall of White Blood Cell Cystine Measurement to Diagnose Juvenile Cystinosis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease, caused by mutations in the CTNS gene, resulting in multi-organ cystine accumulation. Three forms of cystinosis are distinguished: infantile and juvenile nephropathic cystinosis affecting ...

Latest Clinical Approaches in the Ocular Management of Cystinosis: A Review of Current Practice and Opinion from the Ophthalmology Cystinosis Forum

open access: yesOphthalmology and Therapy, 2018
Cystinosis, a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by intracellular cystine accumulation, occurs in an estimated 1/100,000–200,000 live births. Ocular non-nephropathic cystinosis is typically diagnosed during adulthood, when patients present with ...
