Résumé :

The lysosome is a vital cellular organelle that primarily functions as a recycling center for breaking down unwanted macromolecules through a series of hydrolases. Functional deficiencies in lysosomal proteins due to genetic mutations have been found in more than 50 lysosomal storage diseases that exhibit characteristic lipid/macromolecule accumulation and enlarged lysosomes. Recently, the lysosome has emerged as a new therapeutic target for drug development for the treatment of lysosomal storage diseases. However, a suitable assay for compound screening against the diseased lysosomes is currently unavailable. We have developed a Lysotracker staining assay that measures the enlarged lysosomes in patient-derived cells using both fluorescence intensity readout and fluorescence microscopic measurement. This phenotypic assay has been tested in patient cells obtained from several lysosomal storage diseases and validated using a known compound, methyl-β-cyclodextrin, in primary fibroblast cells derived from Niemann Pick C disease patients. The results demonstrate that the Lysotracker assay can be used in compound screening for the identification of lead compounds that are capable of reducing enlarged lysosomes for drug development.

Résumé :

Glycosphingolipids are cell-type-specific components of the outer leaflet of mammalian plasma membranes. Gangliosides, sialic acid–containing glycosphingolipids, are especially enriched on neuronal surfaces. As amphi-philic molecules, they comprise a hydrophilic oligosaccharide chain attached to a hydrophobic membrane anchor, ceramide. Whereas glycosphingolipid formation is catalyzed by membrane-bound enzymes along the secretory pathway, degradation takes place at the surface of intralysosomal vesicles of late endosomes and lysosomes catalyzed in a stepwise fashion by soluble hydrolases and assisted by small lipid-binding glycoproteins. Inherited defects of lysosomal hydrolases or lipid-binding proteins cause the accumulation of undegradable material in lysosomal storage diseases (GM1 and GM2 gangliosidosis; Fabry, Gaucher, and Krabbe diseases; and metachromatic leukodystrophy). The catabolic processes are strongly modified by the lipid composition of the substrate-carrying membranes, and the pathological accumulation of primary storage compounds can trigger an accumulation of secondary storage compounds (e.g., small glycosphingolipids and cholesterol in Niemann-Pick disease).

Résumé :

Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB (MPSIIIB) is a lysosomal storage disease (LSD) characterized by accumulation of heparan sulfate oligosaccharides (HSO), which results in progressive mental retardation, neurodegeneration and premature death in children. The underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Coming to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of MPSIIIB has become a necessity to assess the efficacy of gene therapy treatment regarding loss of neuronal plasticity, and to define the best conditions for treatment. To address the link between HSO accumulation and downstream pathological events, new cell models of MPSIIIB were created. First, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSc) were generated from fibroblasts of affected children, followed by differentiation of patient-derived iPSc into a neuronal progeny. Second, a HeLa cell model was created in which expression of shRNAs directed against a-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGLU), the deficient enzyme in MPSIIIB, is induced by tetracycline. Success in the isolation of these different models was pointed by the presence of cardinal features of MPSIIIB cell pathology. Studies in these models showed that: I) HSO excreted in the extracellular matrix modifies cell perception of environmental cues, affecting downstream signalling pathways with consequences on the Golgi morphology. II) Accumulation of intracellular storage vesicles, a hallmark of LSDs is due to overexpression of the cis-Golgi protein GM130 and subsequent Golgi alterations. It is likely that these vesicles are abnormal lysosomes formed in the cis- and medial-Golgi which are misrouted at an early step of lysosome biogenesis, giving rise to a dead-end compartment. III) Other cell functions controlled by GM130 are affected, including centrosome morphology and microtubule nucleation. These data point to possible consequences on cell polarization, cell migration and neuritogenesis.

Résumé :

Niemann-Pick type Cl (NPC1) disease is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder characterized by the accumulation of multiple lipids in the late endosome/lysosomal system and reduced acidic store calcium levels. Since the lysosomal system is involved in regulating aspects of transition metal ion homeostasis and its intracellular compartmentalization, we have investigated whether there are metal ion metabolism defects and haematological abnormalities in NPC1 disease. We have identified multiple haematological changes, including decreased haematocrit, haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin volume in mice.

Résumé :

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) comprise a broad disease group of inherited metabolic disorders, the majority of which are associated with CNS pathology, significant disability and reductions in life expectancy. LSDs are caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins critical for the correct functioning of lysosomal homeostasis. The disruption of lysosomal homeostasis results in the abnormal accumulation of lysosomal content, initiating intracellular pathological events, including calcium dysregulation and lysosomal membrane permeablisation (LMP) affecting cell function and inducing cellular death mechanisms. These pathological events are particularly damaging within the CNS, due to its limited capacity for regeneration. Despite intensive scientific research into these disorders, and an increased understanding of the pathological events underlying these diseases, effective treatments are still lacking for most LSDs. Several therapeutic approaches have been investigated in the last 30 years, including enzyme replacement therapy, bone marrow transplantation, substrate reduction therapy, chemical chaperones and gene therapy. However, the CNS pathology in many of the LSDs remains unaddressed due to the restricted ability of many therapeutic agents to cross the blood-brain barrier. The heat-shock response (HSR) is an emerging element involved in the pathogenesis of a variety of disorders. The HSR is a physiological response to a wide range of cellular stresses. It functions to protect the cell from the aggregation of misfolded proteins and LMP. Of the HSR, several key players are integral to mounting a heat shock response, these include the heat-shock factor 1 (HSF-1) and HSP70. In this thesis, we provide proof-of-principle for the use of recombinant HSP70, and the small molecule up-regulator of the HSR, arimoclomol in treatment of a range of LSDs. We show that HSP70 is able to access the CNS, and increase the degradative capacity of lysosomal hydrolases. This provides differential behavioural, biochemical and survival effects in LSD models of Niemann-Pick type C, Sandhoff and Fabry disease. Additional studies using the HSF-1 upregulator arimoclomol, show a complex dose-response between the different models, possibly reflecting essential differences in the calcium dysregulation between these disease states.

Résumé :

Inherited metabolic disorders can cause heart diseases, cardiomyopathy in particular, as well as cardiac arrhythmias, valvular and coronary diseases. More than 40 different inherited metabolic disorders can provoke cardiomyopathy, including lysosomal storage disorders, fatty acid oxidation defects, organic acidemias, amino acidopathies, glycogen storage diseases, congenital disorders of glycosylation as well as peroxisomal and mitochondrial disorders. If identified and diagnosed on time, some of congenital metabolic diseases could be successfully treated. It is important to assume them in cases when heart diseases are etiologically undefined. Rapid technological development has made it easier to establish the diagnosis of these diseases. This article will focus on common inherited metabolic disorders that cause heart diseases, as well as on diseases that might be possible to treat.

Résumé :

A 26-year-old woman was referred to a neurology outpatient clinic due to a 9-month history of generalized tonic-clonic seizures, gradually more frequent since onset. She additionally reports developing insidiously over four years ago, an asymmetrical tremor in the upper limbs (worse on the right hand), difficulty walking, speech disorders and decreased visual acuity on the right eye. She had a past medical history of major depressive disorder, but normal neuropsychomotor development in childhood, and did not drink alcohol or smoke tobacco. There is no family history of neurological conditions (she has three brothers and two healthy children). She reports consanguinity (maternal grandparents). Upon neurological examination, the patient was alert, attention was impaired and was not oriented to place or time. Speech was scanned. Her visual acuity was decreased in the right eye (20/100), right gaze-evoked nystagmus and slow saccades. Fundi in both eyes were normal and examination of the other cranial nerves was unremarkable. Based on Medical Research Council grading, the patient had a power of 5/5 in all muscle groups of the lower and upper limbs, deep tendon reflexes in upper limbs were brisk, normal in lower limbs, and plantar responses were flexor bilaterally. Sensory exam was also unremarkable in all four limbs. Appendicular ataxia was present in all members, with rest and intention tremor in upper limbs. During gait she had a noticeable widened base, and steps were unsteady and irregular. Meningismus was absent. A minimental exam was done: 21/30 (eight years of study), with impairment mainly in attention, language and planning. Routine blood tests including full blood count, fasting glucose, B12 level, renal profile, electrolytes, liver function tests, C- reactive protein, serum protein electrophoresis, thyroid function test and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were normal. Serologic tests for syphilis (venereal disease research laboratory), viral hepatitis B and C, and HIV serology were negative. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed 01 white blood cell/L, protein 32, glucose 68 mg/dL and absence of oligoclonal bands. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences showed significant cerebellar atrophy. Electroencephalogram was normal. A genetic panel was done which shows a mutation on TPP1 gene, compatible with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis-2 (CLN-2, OMIM #204500). Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN) is a progressive neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease caused by the accumulation of lipofuscin in the cerebellum and cerebral cortex, which results in neuronal death. There is an estimated incidence of < 0.5 per 100,000 live births in Europe; in Brazil its prevalence is unknown. With the identification of molecular defects, the CLNs are classified according to the underlying gene defect, regardless of the age at onset. CLN2 is caused by a deficiency of the tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1) enzyme secondary to mutations in the CLN2 gene, being the most prevalent type observed and the only treatable one. The clinical course includes refractory epilepsy to antiepileptic medications, progressive mental regression and deterioration, ataxia, myoclonus, and visual loss. On MRI, most patients have diffuse cerebellar atrophy, corroborating the clinical finding of central nervous system progressive degeneration.
