Autophagy in the retinal pigment epithelium: a new vision and future challenges
RPE cells have different systems (mitophagy, ER‐phagy, xenophagy, lipophagy, ribophagy, pexophagy, aggrephagy, and LAP) for breaking down and recycling damaged materials, allowing them to reduce ‘waste’ and reuse the ‘raw material’. Autophagosomes and phagosomes work as recycler and they take care of the cellular waste transport to the ‘incinerator ...

Allergic Reactions at Enzyme Replacement Therapy in Children with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II; Hunter syndrome) is rare hereditary disease caused by changes in the IDS gene and associated deficiency of lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S).

Clinical efficacy of Enzyme Replacement Therapy in paediatric Hunter patients, an independent study of 3.5 years [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Hunter Syndrome is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder due to the deficit of iduronate 2-sulfatase, an enzyme catalysing the degradation of the glycosaminoglycans (GAG) dermatan- and heparan-sulfate.

Diagnosing mucopolysaccharidosis IVA [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA; Morquio A syndrome) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder resulting from a deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) activity. Diagnosis can be challenging and requires agreement of

Expression of five iduronate-2-sulfatase site-directed mutations
Five point mutations (R88H, R88P, T118I, 959delT, R468Q) previously identified in the iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) gene of Italian Hunter patients were expressed in COS cells to evaluate their functional consequence on enzyme activity, processing and intracellular localization.

The Hunter Syndrome-Functional Outcomes for Clinical Understanding Scale (HS-FOCUS) Questionnaire: item reduction and further validation [PDF]
The adsorption of blood proteins, serum albumin (BSA), immunoglobulin G (IgG) and fibrinogen (FGN), onto model SiO2 planar surfaces coated with poly-l-lysine/heparin multilayers (PLL/HEP) has been investigated by means of ellipsometry and quartz crystal ...

In vitro recapitulation of the site-specific editing (to wild-type) of mutant IDS mRNA transcripts, and the characterization of IDS protein translated from the edited mRNAs [PDF]
The transfer of genomic information into the primary RNA sequence can be altered by RNA editing. We have previously shown that genomic variants can be RNA-edited to wild-type. The presence of distinct “edited” iduronate 2-sulfatase (IDS) mRNA transcripts

In vitro correction of iduronate-2-sulfatase deficiency by adenovirus-mediated gene transfer [PDF]
Hunter syndrome is a lethal lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of iduronate-2-sulfatase and characterized by severe skeletal and neurological symptoms. Only symptomatic treatments are available and, although bone marrow transplantation has been suggested, no encouraging results have been obtained so far.
