Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: SERPINA1 mutations cause retention of the otherwise secreted alpha-1 antitrypsin and lead to the proteotoxic alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-related liver disease. As mechanistic target of rapamycin is a key coordinator of proteostasis, we studied its role in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-related liver disease. METHODS: PiZ mice overexpressing the characteristic SERPINA1 mutation were mated...
