ABSTRACT

Uremic neuropathy in children encompasses a wide range of central nervous system (CNS), peripheral nervous system (PNS), autonomic nervous system (ANS), and psychological abnormalities, which is associated with progressive renal dysfunction. Clinically, the diagnosis of uremic neuropathy in children is often made retrospectively when symptoms improve after dialysis or transplantation, due to there is no defining signs or laboratory and imaging findings. These neurological disorders consequently result in increased morbidity and mortality among children population, making uremia an urgent public health problem worldwide. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology, potential mechanisms, possible treatments, and the shortcomings of current research of uremic neuropathy in children. Mechanistically, the uremic neuropathy may be caused by retention of uremic solutes, increased oxidative stress, neurotransmitter imbalance, and disturbance of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Neuroimmune, including the change of inflammatory factors and immune cells, may also play a crucial role in the progression of uremic neuropathy. Different from the invasive treatment of dialysis and kidney transplantation, intervention in neuroimmune and targeted anti-inflammatory therapy may provide a new insight for the treatment of uremia.

ABSTRACT

RING finger proteins are zinc finger proteins containing the RING motifs. They act mainly as E3 ubiquitin ligases, bind the ubiquitin E2 conjugating enzyme and promote degradation of targeted proteins, Many novel genes have been isolated and differentially expressed in human adult and embryo testis by a testis cDNA-array differential display technique. A novel RING finger cDNA is highly expressed in adult testis and at low level in fetal testis. It was named Spg2. It contains a 2055 nucleotide ORF, encodes a 685-amino-acid RNF6 protein, and has a RING finger in its C terminal. NCBI Blast shows that the gene is located on chromosome 13 and contains five exons. A multiple tissue expression profile also indicates that it is highly expressed in human testis, so we speculate that it may be associated with human spermatogenesis by virtue of the action of its RING domain.
