概括
线粒体中阿斯巴酸-谷氨酸载体1 (AGC1) 缺乏导致严重的神经问题. 在两名最年长的患者中,基因疗法显示出稳定的神经影像,其中一名患者表现出适度的进展.
科学领域:
- 生物化学 生物化学
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 遗传学 遗传学 是一个
背景情况:
- 线粒体酸盐 - 酸盐载体1 (AGC1) 对于酸盐 - 酸盐穿机至关重要,使NADH转移到线粒体中进行氧化酸化.
- 缺少AGC1会破坏这种穿,导致细胞质NADH的积累,NAD+的枯竭,以及氧化还原平衡的损失,特别是影响中枢神经系统.
- 这种缺陷是一种自体倒退性疾病,由于神经元N-乙酸 (NAA) 合成减少,导致发作,智力障碍和低血髓化.
研究的目的:
- 描述两位已知最年长的AGC1缺乏症患者的临床过程和神经成像发现.
- 评估热疗法对神经症状和AGC1缺乏症神经成像的长期影响.
- 研究大脑脊髓液 (CSF) 的代谢变化,以了解AGC1缺乏的病理生理学.
主要方法:
- 整体外基因组测序证实了两个受影响的兄弟姐妹的同卵性SLC25A12突变 (p.Gly398Val).
- 长度临床评估,MRI和MR光谱 (MRS) 在经过八年修改的阿特金斯/素饮食治疗后进行.
- 进行脑脊液 (CSF) 有机酸分析以评估代谢概况.
主要成果:
- 这些患者出现了发作,智力障碍,低压性-性脑,大脑缩,皮质发育不良,并减少了MRS上的NAA.
- 经过8年的性疗法,神经成像在很大程度上保持稳定,年长的兄弟姐妹表现出适度的发育进展,年轻的兄弟姐妹经历了轻微的回归.
- 脑脊液分析显示乳酸盐,酸盐,2-基酸盐和乙酸盐的含量升高,糖酸盐,糖酸盐和5-氧普罗林的含量降低,这表明氧化还原平衡受损.
结论:
- AGC1缺陷是一种严重的神经疾病,具有特征的神经成像发现.
- 长期的基因疗法在神经成像中表现为稳定,但对这些患者的临床结果有不同的影响.
- 在AGC1缺乏的CSF代谢概况表明显著的线粒体功能障碍和氧化还原失衡.

Inborn Errors of Metabolism
679
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a protein metabolism disorder characterized by high blood levels of the amino acid phenylalanine. This results from a mutation in the gene responsible for phenylalanine hydroxylase, an enzyme that converts phenylalanine into tyrosine. When this enzyme is deficient, phenylalanine builds up in the blood, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, rashes, seizures, growth deficiency, and severe mental retardation. An early diagnosis and a diet restricting phenylalanine intake...

Glucose Transporters
27.1K
Glucose transporters facilitate the transport of glucose across the cell membrane. In addition to glucose, some glucose transporters can also aid the movement of other hexoses such as fructose, mannose, and galactose.
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:

Lysosomal Hydrolases
4.4K
Lysosomes are the site for the degradation of macromolecules and biological polymers released during membrane trafficking events such as secretory, endocytic, autophagic, and phagocytic pathways. The membrane-enclosed area of the lysosome, called the lumen, contains hydrolytic enzymes active in an acidic environment. These acid hydrolases are functional at a pH between 4.5 and 5 and are involved in cellular processes such as cell signaling, energy metabolism, restoration of the plasma membrane,...
