G418-mediated ribosomal read-through of a nonsense mutation causing autosomal recessive proximal renal tubular acidosis
|
|
Autosomal recessive proximal renal tubular acidosis is caused by mutations in the SLC4A4 gene encoding the electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1-A. The mutations that have been characterized thus far result in premature truncation, mistargeting, or decreased function of the cotransporter. Despite bicarbonate treatment to correct the metabolic acidosis, extrarenal manifestations...

Inhibition of retinal neovascularization by gene transfer of small interfering rna targeting hif-1[alpha] and vegf
|
|
Retinal neovascularization (NV) occurs in various ocular disorders including proliferative diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity and secondary neovascular glaucoma, which often result in blindness. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an essential growth factor for angiogenesis, and is particularly regulated by hypoxia inducible factor-1[alpha] (HIF-1[alpha]) under hypoxic conditions. Therefore, HIF-1[alpha]...

This strengthens the suspected role of LECs in the development of aphakic glaucoma. (Source: Investigative Ophthalmology)
