Risk of Stroke and Thrombus Formation From Delay Incontinence of a PLAATO-Device in Friedreich Ataxia
1: Clin Cardiol. 2009 Apr 7. [Epub ahead of print]Risk of Stroke and Thrombus Formation From Delay Incontinence of a PLAATO-Device in Friedreich Ataxia.Stöllberger C, Finsterer J, Avanzini M, Mölzer G, Weidinger F.Second Medical Department, Krankenanstalt Rudofstiftung.We present the case of a 76-year-old female with suspected Friedreich ataxia, in whom leakage and thrombosis of a percutaneously implanted left atrial appendage occluder (PLAATO) was observed 2 years after implantation. Because of late developing leakages and thrombi, regular transesophageal echocardiographic examinations should be carried out in patients with occluded left atrial appendagaes. In view of these complications and the potential important hemodynamic role of the left atrial appendage, the benefit of its occlusion is questionable, and the indications of PLAATO should be strongly reconsidered.

Inborn errors of metabolism as rare diseases with a specific global situation
"Hay que evitar el uso de fármacos potencialmente tóxicos mitocondriales. Entre los antibióticos son eficaces las tetraciclinas, ciprofloxacina y aminoglicósidos. Entre los antivirales hay que tener presente que los antiretrovirales pueden producir deplección mitocondrial. Entre los antiepilépticos evitar a ser posible valproico, hidantoínas y fenobarbital. Entre los anestésicos evitar etomitadato y thipentona en el síndrome de Kearns-Sayre y recordar la gran sensibilidad de estos pacientes para el antracurio y el roncuronio."

HUMAN GENES PLACED IN STEM CELLS SHOWN TO FUNCTION PROPERLY
MEDIA RELEASE Embargo 10am Tuesday 10 February 2009
HUMAN GENES PLACED IN STEM CELLS
SHOWN TO FUNCTION PROPERLY
Human genes placed in stem cells have been shown to function properly, according to new research at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute and Melbourne University.
This is the first report showing a full length human gene can be placed in a cord blood stem cell and work properly. This shows stem cells from patients with genetic diseases may be corrected in the lab, giving hope to those living with Cystic Fibrosis and Friedreich Ataxia.
The research found that when a normal copy of a gene was put into a cord blood stem cell, it worked properly when the stem cells form nerve, bone or lung cells in the laboratory. The paper will appear in the next issue of top journal Gene Therapy.
The researchers, led by Dr Faten Zaibak and Professor Bob Williamson, took a full length human gene that codes for a protein known as "frataxin". When this gene does not work properly, affected young people develop Friedreich Ataxia, a debilitating and life-threatening neurodegenerative disorder.
"This gene was introduced into a unique population of cord blood stem cells, which have been shown to form many different types of cells in the body. In some cases, the stem cells took up the gene and switched it on. The protein from the gene was found in the cells just as if it was made from a normal copy of the gene rather than one put there in the lab," Professor Williamson said.
"The stem cells continue to grow and retain the ability to form many cell types in the laboratory, including nerve and lung cells. This is the first report showing a full length human gene can be placed in a cord blood stem cell and work properly, with the stem cell remaining active and able to continue to multiply for months. However, it still remains to be shown that the cells will work if taken from the lab and used for treatment," Dr Zaibak said.
It is universally agreed that using cord blood stem cells is ethically acceptable, and free of the controversy surrounding embryonic stem cells.
"These results suggests that the cord blood stem cells capable of forming many different tissues can be collected from the patient at birth, corrected and then returned to the patient, bypassing any immune complications," Professor Williamson said.
The researchers, who are funded by the Australian Cystic Fibrosis Research Trust and the New Zealand Cystic Fibrosis Association, hope to carry out similar experiments with the cystic fibrosis gene. Currently, the cystic fibrosis gene is difficult to insert into the cell because of its large size.
The authors emphasised that treatment is still in the future, because it is essential to show that the cells can be introduced into a patient in a way that is proven to be safe and effective.

Frataxin is an essential mitochondrial protein whose reduced expression causes Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), a lethal neurodegenerative disease. It is believed that frataxin is an iron chaperone that participates in iron metabolism. We have tested this hypothesis using the bacterial frataxin ortholog, CyaY, and different biochemical and biophysical techniques. We observe that CyaY participates in iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly as an iron-dependent inhibitor of cluster formation, through binding to the desulfurase IscS. The interaction with IscS involves the iron binding surface of CyaY, which is conserved throughout the frataxin family. We propose that frataxins are iron sensors that act as regulators of Fe-S cluster formation to fine-tune the quantity of Fe-S cluster formed to the concentration of the available acceptors. Our observations provide new perspectives for understanding FRDA and a mechanistic model that rationalizes the available knowledge on frataxin.

La Frataxina bacteriana CyaY es el supervisor de la formación del cluster hierro-azufre catalizada por IscS.
La Frataxina es una proteína mitocondrial esencial cuya expresión reducida causa la ataxia de Friedreich (FRDA), una enfermedad neurodegenerativa letal. Se cree que la frataxina es una chaperona de hierro que participa en el metabolismo del hierro. Hemos probado esta hipótesis utilizando el ortólogo bacteriano de la frataxina, CyaY, y diferentes técnicas de bioquímica y biofísica. Observamos que CyaY participa en el ensamblaje del cluster hierro-azufre (Fe-S) como un inhibidor hierro-dependiente de la formación del cluster, a través de la unión a la desulfurasa IscS. La interacción con IscS implica la unión del hierro en la superficie de CyaY, que se conserva en toda la familia frataxina. Proponemos que las frataxinas son sensores del hierro que actúan como reguladores de la formación del cluster Fe-S para afinar la cantidad de cluster Fe-S que se forma según la concentración de los aceptores disponibles. Nuestras observaciones ofrecen nuevas perspectivas para entender el FRDA y un modelo mecanicista que racionaliza los conocimientos disponibles sobre la frataxina.
