[Abstract]  Cystinuria is a rare genetic disorder characterized by recurrent, painful kidney stones, primarily composed of cystine, the dimer of the amino acid cysteine (Sumorok and Goldfarb, 2013). Using a mouse model of cystinuria, we have recently shown that administration of drugs that increase cystine solubility in the urine can be a novel therapeutic strategy for the clinical management of the disease (Zee et al., 2017). There is a large unmet need in the field for developing new drugs for cystinuria. To that end, here we describe a simple in vitro cystine solubility assay that is amenable for screening compounds to identify potential drugs that may influence cystine solubility. The assay includes preparing a supersaturated solution of cystine, incubating this solution with ... [摘要]  胱尿蛋白尿是一种罕见的遗传性疾病,其特征在于复发性疼痛的肾结石,主要由胱氨酸,氨基酸半胱氨酸的二聚体组成(Sumorok和Goldfarb,2013)。 使用小鼠模型的胱氨酸尿症,我们最近显示,在尿液中增加胱氨酸溶解度的药物的施用可能是临床治疗疾病的新型治疗策略(Zee等人,2017)。 在该领域需要开发用于开发新药用于胱氨酸尿症的很大需求。 为此,我们在此介绍一种简单的体外胱氨酸溶解度测定法,可用于筛选化合物以鉴定可能影响胱氨酸溶解度的潜在药物。 该测定包括制备胱氨酸过饱和溶液,将该溶液与选择的药物孵育,最后使用高压液相色谱 - 串联质谱(HPLC-MS / MS)定量在各种条件下沉淀的胱氨酸的量。
【背景】胱硫酸尿症是一种肾结石疾病,其特征在于肾脏近端小管中的胱氨酸转运蛋白的遗传缺陷,导致尿液中的胱氨酸负荷大量增加,其作为肾结石沉淀(Sumorok和Goldfarb,2013)。虽然分类为罕见的遗传疾病(约1 / 15,000个人)(Milliner和Murphy,1993; ...
