TL;DR

A glial cell model deficient in the NAGLU enzyme via CRISPR/Cas9 editing system in the U-87MG cell line exhibited typical traits for MPS IIIB, including decreased enzyme activity and mitochondrial mass, as well as increased lysosomal mass, neutral lipids, total glycosaminoglycans, and total reactive oxygen species.

Proteomic Signatures in Neuronal and Glial Cell Models of Niemann-Pick Disease Type C

Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by the accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and glycosphingolipids in the late endosomal/lysosomal system, resulting in region-specific neurodegeneration. While the mechanism through which defective NPC1 protein and thus altered chole...

Unraveling the metabolic landscape of alkaptonuria through a human-relevant in vitro liver disease model

Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder of tyrosine catabolism caused by a deficient homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase (HGD) enzyme. This results in the accumulation of homogentisic acid (HGA), driving a progressive multisystem pathology characterized by debilitating early-onset osteoarthritis due to conn...

Decoding the Cellular Response to Methylthioadenosine Uncovers Novel Targets for Chronic Liver Disease

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3), caused by MDR3 deficiency (MDR2 in mice), is a lethal pediatric liver disease characterized by early-onset persistent cholestasis, progressive fibrosis, cirrhosis, and eventual liver failure. MDR3 is a phosphatidylcholine transporter located in the canalicul...

Targeting p66Shc by natural-derived and synthetic compounds in organ toxicity

The p66Shc protein functions as a cellular stress sensor that facilitates the elimination of irreversibly damaged cells under physiological conditions. However, during chronic stress, this pathway becomes maladaptive, contributing to progressive tissue degeneration. The present study reviews the involvement of p66S...
