Mitochondrial respiration and characteristics of skeletal muscles in children with cerebral palsy

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Skeletal muscles utilize numerous mitochondria for energy production needed during muscle contraction. Mitochondria produce this energy through the electron transport chain. After an injury such as ACL‐injury in typically developing children, there is a reduction in muscle mitochondrial respiration and content.

miR-320c Regulates SERPINA1 Expression and Is Induced in Patients With Pulmonary Disease

open access: yesArchivos de Bronconeumología, 2021
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a genetic condition resulting in lung and liver disease with a great clinical variability. MicroRNAs have been identified as disease modifiers; therefore miRNA deregulation could play an important role in disease heterogeneity.

Shared dysregulation of complement and phosphorylation pathways in the cerebrospinal fluid of encephalitis, Aicardi–Goutières syndrome, and autism

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim To identify shared and disorder‐specific molecular alterations across encephalitis, Aicardi–Goutières syndrome (AGS), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteomics. Method In this cross‐sectional case–control study, mass‐spectrometry‐based proteomics was performed on archived CSF samples collected between ...

Identification and characterisation of twenty-two novel SERPINA1 pathological mutations

open access: yes, 2020
Background: Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is a serine protease inhibitor, encoded by the highly polymorphic SERPINA1 gene. Mutations in the SERPINA1 gene can lead to AAT deficiency (AATD), which is associated with a substantially increased risk of lung and ...

A Novel SERPINA1 Mutation Causing Serum Alpha1-Antitrypsin Deficiency

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Mutations in the SERPINA1 gene can cause deficiency in the circulating serine protease inhibitor α(1)-Antitrypsin (α(1)AT). α(1)AT deficiency is the major contributor to pulmonary emphysema and liver disease in persons of European ancestry, with a prevalence of 1 in 2500 in the USA.

Prevalence of the serpin peptidase inhibitor (alpha-1-antitrypsin) PI*S and PI*Z alleles in Brazilian children with liver disease

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2008
Serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade A (alpha-1 antiproteinase, antitrypsin), member 1 (SERPINA1) deficiency is one of the main genetic causes related to liver disease in children. In SERPINA1 deficiency the most frequent SERPINA1 alleles found are the PI*S

Alternative poly-adenylation modulates α1-antitrypsin expression in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2021
α1-anti-trypsin (A1AT), encoded by SERPINA1, is a neutrophil elastase inhibitor that controls the inflammatory response in the lung. Severe A1AT deficiency increases risk for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), however, the role of A1AT in COPD

The Role of Oxidative Stress in Periodontitis

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Oxidative stress is involved in multiple chemical reactions that take place in different intracellular organelles: mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, autophagy, and aging, and can be influenced by exogenous factors: nutrition, physical activity, psychological status, environmental conditions, microbiome, and drugs.

Influence of SERPINA1 Gene Polymorphisms on Anemia and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

open access: yesJournal of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, 2022
Background. Anemia is one of the predominant hematological conditions, whereas chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a predominant respiratory disease. These two diseases were found to be interlinked, but the physiological pathways are still unclear. Aim.
