The chemical chaperone, PBA, reduces ER stress and autophagy and increases collagen IV a5 expression in cultured fibroblasts from men With X-linked alport syndrome and missense mutations
Introduction: X-linked Alport syndrome (OMIM 301050) is caused by COL4A5 missense variants in 40% of families. This study examined the effects of chemical chaperone treatment (sodium 4-phenylbutyrate) on fibroblast cell lines derived from men with missense mutations. Methods: Dermal fibroblast cult...
