One of the two major pharmacological subdivisions of adrenergic receptors that were originally defined by the relative potencies of various adrenergic compounds. The alpha receptors were initially described as excitatory receptors that post-junctionally stimulate SMOOTH MUSCLE contraction. However, further analysis has revealed a more complex picture involving several alpha receptor subtypes and their involvement in feedback regulation.

Lignocellulose degradation by Phanerochaete chrysosporium: purification and characterization of the main alpha-galactosidase. (1/449)

The main alpha-galactosidase was purified to homogeneity, in 30% yield, from a solid culture of Phanerochaete chrysosporium on 1 part wheat bran/2 parts thermomechanical softwood pulp. It is a glycosylated tetramer of 50 kDa peptide chains, which gives the N-terminal sequence ADNGLAITPQMG(?W)NT(?W)NHFG(?W)DIS(?W)DTI. It is remarkably stable, with crude extracts losing no activity over 3 h at 80 degrees C, and the purified enzyme retaining its activity over several months at 4 degrees C. The kinetics of hydrolysis at 25 degrees C of various substrates by this retaining enzyme were measured, absolute parameters being obtained by active-site titration with 2',4',6'-trinitrophenyl 2-deoxy-2, 2-difluoro-alpha-D-galactopyranoside. The variation of kcat/Km for 1-naphthyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside with pH is bell-shaped, with pK1=1.91 and pK2=5.54. The alphaD(V/K) value for p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside is 1.031+/-0.007 at the optimal pH of 3.75 and 1.114+/-0.006 at pH7.00, indicating masking of the intrinsic effect at optimal pH. There is no alpha-2H effect on binding galactose [alphaD(Ki)=0.994+/-0.013]. The enzyme hydrolyses p-nitrophenyl beta-L-arabinopyranoside approximately 510 times slower than the galactoside, but has no detectable activity on the alpha-D-glucopyranoside or alpha-D-mannopyranoside. Hydrolysis of alpha-galactosides with poor leaving groups is Michaelian, but that of substrates with good leaving groups exhibits pronounced apparent substrate inhibition, with Kis values similar to Km values. We attribute this to the binding of the second substrate molecule to a beta-galactopyranosyl-enzyme intermediate, forming an E.betaGal. alphaGalX complex which turns over slowly, if at all. 1-Fluoro-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl fluoride, unlike alpha-D-galactopyranosyl fluoride, is a Michaelian substrate, indicating that the effect of 1-fluorine substitution is greater on the first than on the second step of the enzyme reaction.  (+info)

Aging accentuates and bone marrow transplantation ameliorates metabolic defects in Fabry disease mice. (2/449)

Fabry disease is an X-linked metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-Gal A). The enzyme defect leads to the systemic accumulation of glycosphingolipids with alpha-galactosyl moieties consisting predominantly of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). In patients with this disorder, glycolipid deposition in endothelial cells leads to renal failure and cardiac and cerebrovascular disease. Recently, we generated alpha-Gal A gene knockout mouse lines and described the phenotype of 10-week-old mice. In the present study, we characterize the progression of the disease with aging and explore the effects of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) on the phenotype. Histopathological analysis of alpha-Gal A -/0 mice revealed subclinical lesions in the Kupffer cells in the liver and macrophages in the skin with no gross lesions in the endothelial cells. Gb3 accumulation and pathological lesions in the affected organs increased with age. Treatment with BMT from the wild-type mice resulted in the clearance of accumulated Gb3 in the liver, spleen, and heart with concomitant elevation of alpha-Gal A activity. These findings suggest that BMT may have a potential role in the management of patients with Fabry disease.  (+info)

Differential expression of three alpha-galactosidase genes and a single beta-galactosidase gene from Aspergillus niger. (3/449)

A gene encoding a third alpha-galactosidase (AglB) from Aspergillus niger has been cloned and sequenced. The gene consists of an open reading frame of 1,750 bp containing six introns. The gene encodes a protein of 443 amino acids which contains a eukaryotic signal sequence of 16 amino acids and seven putative N-glycosylation sites. The mature protein has a calculated molecular mass of 48,835 Da and a predicted pI of 4.6. An alignment of the AglB amino acid sequence with those of other alpha-galactosidases revealed that it belongs to a subfamily of alpha-galactosidases that also includes A. niger AglA. A. niger AglC belongs to a different subfamily that consists mainly of prokaryotic alpha-galactosidases. The expression of aglA, aglB, aglC, and lacA, the latter of which encodes an A. niger beta-galactosidase, has been studied by using a number of monomeric, oligomeric, and polymeric compounds as growth substrates. Expression of aglA is only detected on galactose and galactose-containing oligomers and polymers. The aglB gene is expressed on all of the carbon sources tested, including glucose. Elevated expression was observed on xylan, which could be assigned to regulation via XlnR, the xylanolytic transcriptional activator. Expression of aglC was only observed on glucose, fructose, and combinations of glucose with xylose and galactose. High expression of lacA was detected on arabinose, xylose, xylan, and pectin. Similar to aglB, the expression on xylose and xylan can be assigned to regulation via XlnR. All four genes have distinct expression patterns which seem to mirror the natural substrates of the encoded proteins.  (+info)

Molecular cloning of a human UDP-galactose:GlcNAcbeta1,3GalNAc beta1, 3 galactosyltransferase gene encoding an O-linked core3-elongation enzyme. (4/449)

Using the full-length amino-acid sequences of the human beta1,3 galactosyltransferase (beta3GalT)-I, -II and III enzymes as query, we have identified an additional member of the beta3GalT gene family within a sequenced region of the human chromosome 21 as found in GenBank. The novel human beta3GalT-V gene included an open reading frame of 933 bp encoding a protein of 310 amino acids with a short N-terminal cytoplasmic tail, a single predicted transmembrane domain and a large lumenal catalytic domain. The human beta3GalT-V protein showed 34%, 27%, 31% and 23% sequence identity with the human beta3GalT-I, -II, -III and -IV enzymes, respectively. The expression of beta3GalT-V as a recombinant protein in Sf9 insect cells confirmed the galactosyltransferase activity catalyzed by this enzyme. Similarly to beta3GalT-I, -II and -III, the beta3GalT-V enzyme used beta-linked GlcNAc as an acceptor, but unlike the former enzymes beta3GalT-V exhibited a marked preference for the O-linked core3 GlcNAcbeta1,3GalNAc substrate. The beta3GalT-V gene was mainly expressed in human small intestine and to a lesser extent in pancreas and testis. Although beta3GalT-V transcripts were not detected in normal colon tissue, based on Northern analysis, beta3GalT-V mRNA was found in the adenocarcinoma cell line Colo 205.  (+info)

Fifteen-year follow-up of a heterozygous Fabry's disease patient associated with pre-excitation syndrome. (5/449)

A 47-year-old woman with heterozygous Fabry's disease with pre-excitation syndrome has been followed up for 15 years. Diagnosis was confirmed by the typical electron microscopic feature of the endomyocardial specimen and a decreased plasma alpha-galactosidase activity. As the disease progressed, the interventricular septum thickened from 11 to 17 mm as measured by echocardiography, while the AH interval was prolonged from 80 to 140 msec. In Fabry's disease, the PR interval has been reported to be variable from short PR to AV block. Therefore, this case may be helpful to understand the time course in the AV conduction abnormalities with the progression of Fabry's disease.  (+info)

Purification and characterization of recombinant Mortierella vinacea alpha-galactosidases I and II expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. (6/449)

The cDNAs coding for Mortierella vinacea alpha-galactosidases I and II were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae under the control of the yeast GAL10 promoter. The recombinant enzymes purified to homogeneity from the culture filtrate were glycosylated, and had properties identical to those of the native enzymes except for improving the heat stability of alpha-galactosidase II and decreasing the specific activities of both enzymes.  (+info)

Cloning of the gene encoding a novel thermostable alpha-galactosidase from Thermus brockianus ITI360. (7/449)

An alpha-galactosidase gene from Thermus brockianus ITI360 was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant protein was purified. The gene, designated agaT, codes for a 476-residue polypeptide with a calculated molecular mass of 53, 810 Da. The native structure of the recombinant enzyme (AgaT) was estimated to be a tetramer. AgaT displays amino acid sequence similarity to the alpha-galactosidases of Thermotoga neapolitana and Thermotoga maritima and a low-level sequence similarity to alpha-galactosidases of family 36 in the classification of glycosyl hydrolases. The enzyme is thermostable, with a temperature optimum of activity at 93 degrees C with para-nitrophenyl-alpha-galactopyranoside as a substrate. Half-lives of inactivation at 92 and 80 degrees C are 100 min and 17 h, respectively. The pH optimum is between 5.5 and 6.5. The enzyme displayed high affinity for oligomeric substrates. The K(m)s for melibiose and raffinose at 80 degrees C were determined as 4.1 and 11.0 mM, respectively. The alpha-galactosidase gene in T. brockianus ITI360 was inactivated by integrational mutagenesis. Consequently, no alpha-galactosidase activity was detectable in crude extracts of the mutant strain, and it was unable to use melibiose or raffinose as a single carbohydrate source.  (+info)

Gene assignment in the spider monkey (Ateles paniscus chamek--APC): APE-MYH7 to 2q; AR-GLA-F8C to the X chromosome. (8/449)

Comparative gene assignment between the spider monkey species Ateles paniscus chamek (APC) and man (HSA) showed conserved syntenic associations despite extensive karyotypic rearrangement between species. Two HSA 14q genes were allocated to APC 2q, being syntenic to other HSA 14q and HSA 15q markers previously assigned to APC 2q, and to HSA 12q genes previously assigned to APC 2p. These findings were consistent with A. geoffroyi chromosome painting with human whole-chromosome probes, indicating that the genus Ateles is karyotypically very rearranged. On the other hand, three human X-linked markers were assigned to the Ateles X chromosome, indicating that this chromosome is evolutionary stable.  (+info)

Ninety-five of 121 (79%) adult patients and 11 of 16 (69%) pediatric patients (106 of 137, 74% of all patients) treated with Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) in clinical studies have developed IgG antibodies to Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) . Most patients who develop IgG antibodies do so within the first 3 months of exposure. IgG seroconversion in pediatric patients was associated with prolonged half-life of Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) , a phenomenon rarely observed in adult patients [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY and Use in Specific Populations]. A possible cause for this prolongation likely pertains to the ability of antibodies to act as carriers for their antigens. Among the 14 female patients exposed to Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) in clinical studies, four (two adult and two pediatric patients) developed IgG antibodies to Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) . IgG antibodies to Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) were purified from 15 patients with high antibody titers ( ≥ 12,800) and studied for inhibition of in ...

alpha-Galactosidase from tomato has been immobilized on Sepabead EC-EA and Sepabead EC-HA, which were activated with ethylendiamino and hexamethylenediamino groups, respectively. Two strategy was used for the covalent immobilization of alpha-galactosidase on the aminated Sepabeads: covalent immobilization of enzyme on glutaraldehyde activated support and cross-linking of the adsorbed enzymes on to the support with glutaraldehyde. By using these two methods, all the immobilized enzymes retained very high activity and the stability of the enzyme was also improved. The obtained results showed that, the most stable immobilized alpha-galactosidase was obtained with the second strategy. The immobilized enzymes were characterized with respect to free counterpart. Some parameters effecting to the enzyme activity and stability were also analyzed. The optimum temperature and pH were found as 60 degrees C and pH 5.5 for all immobilized enzymes, respectively. All the immobilized alpha-galactosidases were ...

Defects in the enzyme alpha-galactosidase lead to the buildup of globotriaosylceramide, causing Fabrys disease.[3] The pharmaceutical drug migalastat enhances the function of alpha-galactosidase and is used to treat Fabrys. Globotriaosylceramide is also one of the targets of Shiga toxin, which is responsible for pathogenicity of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). The bacterial Shiga toxin can be used for targeted therapy of gastric cancer, because this tumor entity expresses the receptor of the Shiga toxin. For this purpose an unspecific chemotherapeutical is conjugated to the B-subunit to make it specific. In this way only the tumor cells, but not healthy cells should be destroyed during therapy.[4] ...

Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare, potentially lethal systemic disorder, capable of affecting both adults and children, causing thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) that leads to the formation of thrombus within small blood vessels with multiple organ failure. The pathogenesis of the aHUS is part of a sort of chronic and uncontrolled activation of the complement system by genetic mutation of some proteins usually responsible for its self-regulation. Today, the rapid diagnosis of the disease and the timely start of treatment with eculizumab, improve outcomes of renal failure, stroke and heart attack. Fabry disease is a rare tesaurismosis, X linked, due to the deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A, necessary for the physiological catabolism of glycosphingolipids. Multisystem clinical manifestations lead to a serious degenerative pathology.

AGAW : Diagnosis of Fabry disease in male patients   Verifying abnormal serum alpha-galactosidase results in male patients with a clinical presentation suggestive of Fabry disease
A natural IgG antibody (anti-Gal) with alpha-galactosyl binding specificity has been found in large amounts (0.5 - 1.0% of serum IgG) in all individuals tested. It has been purified by affinity chromatography on a column of melibiose-Sepharose. In addition to its affinity for normal and pathological senescent human red cells, the antibody readily interacts with rabbit red blood cell (RRBC) glycolipids with alpha-galactosyl terminal residues. Two types (glycosidic linkages of 1----3 vs. 1----4) of rabbit red cells glycolipids with terminal alpha-galactosyl residues were tested for antibody binding. The antibody specifically bound to glycolipids with Gal alpha 1----3 terminal residues, and treatment of these glycolipids with alpha-galactosidase abolished binding. Hemagglutination inhibition studies with oligosaccharides of known structure also showed that the antibody binds specifically to glycoconjugates with an alpha 1----3 terminal galactose residue. Anti-Gal did not bind to a human B-active ...

Among the areas of research are: (1) The alarm signals and the receptors that alert the immune system to potential danger; (2) The mechanisms by which sentinel cells (dendritic cells) acquire and display antigens to CD8 T cells (cross presentation), a process that is essential for immune surveillance of tissues; and, (3) The antigen presentation pathway by which virally infected or cancer cells display their antigens to effector CD8 T cells (MHC class I antigen presentation), a process that is essential for the immune system to detect and eliminate these pathological cells. The laboratory is in a new state of the art research building and part of a very strong and interactive immunology community at UMass Medical School. UMass Medical School is located in Worcester Massachusetts, just outside of Boston. Interested ...
Background: Anderson-Fabry disease is a multisystem X linked disorder of lipid metabolism frequently associated with cardiac symptoms, including left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy gradually impairing cardiac function. Evidence showing that enzyme-replacement therapy (ERT) can be effective in reducing LV hypertrophy and improving myocardial function in the long term is limited. Objective: This study aimed to assess the long-term effects of ERT with recombinant α-galactosidase A (agalsidase beta, Fabrazyme) on LV function and myocardial signal intensity in 11 patients with Anderson-Fabry disease. Patients: Eleven patients (eight males, three females) with varying stages of genetically confirmed Anderson-Fabry disease were examined by means of physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging before ERT with agalsidase beta at 1 mg/kg every other week (study 1) and after a mean treatment duration of 45 months (study 2). Results: At 45 months of treatment, LV mass and LV wall thickness had ...

N2 - Chronic kidney disease is a major complication of Fabry disease. Podocytes accumulate globotriaosylceramide inclusions more than other kidney cell types in Fabry patients. Podocyte injury occurs early in age, and is progressive. Since injured podocytes detach into the urine (podocyturia), we hypothesized that podocyturia would increase in Fabry patients and correlate with clinical severity of Fabry nephropathy. Urine specimens from 39 Fabry patients and 24 healthy subjects were evaluated for podocyturia. Most of the Fabry patients and many healthy subjects had podocyturia. The number of podocytes per gram of urine creatinine ...

People with Fabry Disease have an alteration in their genetic material (DNA) which causes a deficiency of the alpha-galactosidase A enzyme. Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) is a drug that helps to break down and removes certain types of fatty substances called glycolipids. These glycolipids are normally present within the body in most cells. In Fabry disease, glycolipids build up in various tissues such as the liver, kidney, skin, and blood vessels because a-galactosidase A is not present, or is present in small quantities. The build up of glycolipid (globatriaosylceramide or GL-3) levels in these tissues in particular is thought to cause the clinical symptoms that are common to Fabry disease. This study analyzed the safety and efficacy of Fabrazyme in the treatment of patients with Fabry disease that previously participated in the AGAL-008-00 (NCT0074984) study ...
BACKGROUND: Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A. Central nervous system (CNS) manifestations consist mainly of cerebrovascular events. Brain MRI results are often abnormal. Purpose: The aim of the study was to describe CNS involvement in a group of Italian patients with AFD. METHODS: Clinical and brain MRI data of 43 patients with AFD (25 men, 41.94+/-10.83 years old and 18 women, 52.48+/-17.50 years old) were analysed retrospectively. 17 male patients and 7 female patients were under treatment with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). RESULTS: All 43 patients had signs or symptoms of AFD. 16 men (64%) and 13 women (72%) demonstrated CNS involvement, although with varying severity. Overall, 6 men and 5 women had suffered from cerebrovascular accidents with an age at onset of 33.64+/-13.65 years and 53.68+/-11.71 years, respectively. Brain MR images were abnormal in 16/25 men and in 13/16 women. During CNS monitoring, ...

This will be a Phase IV multi-center, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Because Fabry disease is a rare genetic disorder, centers will need to work aggressively to identify patients to take part in this study. We will be working with families, Fabry patient organizations and medical centers throughout our area to identify patients for this very important clinical trial. We are very pleased to ...
Fabry Disease Market: Report. The primary disease process starts in infancy, or even as early as in the fetal stage of development. In FD, lysosomal storage and cellular dysfunction are believed to trigger a cascade of events including cellular death, compromised energy metabolism, small vessel injury, K(Ca) channel dysfunction in endothelial cells, oxidative stress, impaired autophagosome maturation, tissue ischemia and, importantly, development of irreversible cardiac and renal tissue fibrosis.. Fabry Disease Market: Classification. Fabry Disease is classified as the Type 1 classic and Type 2 later-onset on the basis of phenotype of the disease. Both sub-types result in renal failure, and/or cardiac disease, and early death. Type 2 later-onset Fabry Disease is more frequent as compared to Type 1 classic Fabry Disease.. Fabry Disease Market: Symptoms. Symptoms of the disorders like Schindler disease, Gaucher disease, Fucosidosis, Erythromelalgia can be similar to those of Fabry disease. Thus ...
Background/Aims: Fabry disease is a treatable cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) characterized by a genetic deficiency of a-galactosidase A. European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) recommends screening for Fabry disease in CKD patients. However, this is based on expert opinion and there are no reports of the prevalence of Fabry disease in stage 1-5 CKD. Hence, we investigated the prevalence of Fabry disease in CKD patients not receiving renal replacement therapy. Methods: This prospective study assessed a-galactosidase activity in dried blood spots in 313 stage 1-5 CKD patients, 167 males, between ages of 18-70 years whose etiology of CKD was unknown and were not receiving renal replacement therapy. The diagnosis was confirmed by GLA gene mutation analysis. Results: Three (all males) of 313 CKD patients (0.95%) were diagnosed of Fabry disease, for a prevalence in males of 1.80%. Family screening identified 8 aditional Fabry patients with CKD. Of a total of 11 Fabry patients, 7 were male and ...
Introduction. Fabry disease is a rare genetic lysosomal storage disorder of glycosphingolipids with X-linked transmission and an estimated incidence of 1:40,000-1:117,000 live male births.1 Partial or complete deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (a-Gal A) results in altered metabolism and progressive lysosomal accumulation of the substrate (mostly globotriaosylceramide, Gb3).2 The responsible gene is located on the long arm of the chromosome X (Xq22). More than 600 mutations have been identified with variable phenotypical expression.3. Clinically we distinguish the classical form and two variants, cardiac and renal. In the classical form clinical manifestations appear during childhood or early adolescence including acroparesthesias, angiokeratomas and corneal opacities.4 Progressive accumulation of Gb3 in the kidneys, heart and central nervous system lead to renal failure, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and cerebral vascular accidents limiting life expectancy. The cardiac variant of the ...
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked hereditary disease caused by mutations in the AGAL gene encoding the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is the current cornerstone of Fabry disease management. Involvement of kidney, heart and the central nervous system shortens life span, and fibrosis of these organs is a hallmark of the disease. Fibrosis was initially thought to result from tissue ischemia secondary to endothelial accumulation of glycosphingolipids in the microvasculature. However, despite ready clearance of endothelial deposits, ERT is less effective in patients who have already developed fibrosis. Several potential explanations of this clinical observation may impact on the future management of Fabry disease. Alternative molecular pathways linking glycosphingolipids and fibrosis may be operative; tissue injury may recruit secondary molecular mediators of fibrosis that are unresponsive to ERT, or fibrosis may represent irreversible tissue injury that ...
In this paper, two cases of renal biopsy showing identical lipid deposits were presented. In the first case, these lipid deposits were due to inhibition of intralysosomal alpha-galactosidase A activity (presumable hydroxychloroquine-induced renal phospholipidosis) and in the second case, due to a mutation in the gene encoding the referred enzyme.. FD is a X-chromosome linked genetic disorder characterized by disturbance in glycosphingolipid catabolism, caused by a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. Early signs and symptoms occur from childhood to adolescence and include intermittent paresthesia and acroparesthesia, Fabry crisis (episodes of intense pain), recurrent fever, angiokeratomas, cornea verticillata, mild proteinuria, globotriaosylceramide in urinary sediment and digestive symptoms such as both diarrhea and constipation, nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps. Manifestations in adolescence and adulthood include renal disorders (which can progress to end-stage kidney ...
Fabrys is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. As a result, a buildup of glycosphyngolipids in cellular lysosomes occurs, a process thought to lead to cellular dysfunction. The effects are particularly seen in the nervous system, causing painful acroparesthesias; cardiac myocytes, leading to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; and the kidneys, where endothelial storage of glycosphingolipids leads to vascular insufficiency and glomerular damage. A typical affected male will manifest frequent episodes of burning limb pain starting in childhood, which unfortunately respond poorly to analgesics. Other early signs of Fabrys include gastrointestinal pain and hypohydrosis, due to involvement of nerves innervating the gut and skin. Angiokeratomas, small reddish-purple lesions characteristic of the disease, are often present, especially in the groin area (and are often missed on physical examination).. Cardiac and renal involvement usually manifest ...
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder that leads to excessive deposition of globotriaosylceramide ( GL-3) throughout the body. Skin, eye, kidney, heart, brain, and peripheral nervous system are highly vulnerable. Fabry disease is often difficult to diagnose since signs and symptoms are often nonspecific.. Symptoms. Many symptoms associated with Fabry disease are nonspecific making it a difficult disease to diagnosis. Not all symptoms may appear nor develop in any particular order. However, younger patients may have some or all of the following:. ...

Fabry disease is an X-linked dominant condition that affects 1 in 40,000 to 60,000 males. The prevalence in females is unknown. [1] Fabry disease results from mutations in the GLA gene encoding alpha-galactosidase A. The inability to metabolize glycosphingolipids causes a buildup in globotriaosylceramide in the cells found in nerves, vasculature, and other tissues including the cornea. This is a systemic disease that commonly presents as numbness and tingling of the hands and feet (acroparesthesias), skin lesions (angiokeratomas), decreased sweating (hypohidrosis), gastrointestinal dysfunction, kidney dysfunction, heart disease, vascular disease, and the following ophthalmic findings: corneal verticillata and vascular tortuosity. [2]. Corneal verticillata was first reported by Gruber in 1946 but it was not until 1969 when verticillata was attributed to Fabry disease by Franceschetti et al. [3,4] Corneal verticillata are also associated with many medications that cause subepithelial deposits and ...
Abstract. Fabry disease (FD) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the gene for the α-galactosidase A (GLA) enzyme. The absence of the enzyme or its activity results in the accumulation of glycosphingolipids, mainly globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), in different tissues, leading to a wide range of clinical manifestations. More than 1000 natural variants have been described in the GLA gene, most of them affecting proper protein folding and enzymatic activity. Currently, FD is treated by enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) or pharmacological chaperone therapy (PCT). However, as both approaches show specific drawbacks, new strategies (such as new forms of ERT, organ/cell transplant, substrate reduction therapy, or gene therapy) are under extensive study. In this review, we summarize GLA mutants described so far and discuss their putative application for the development of novel drugs for the treatment of FD. Unfavorable mutants with lower activities and stabilities than wild-type enzymes ...
Patients affected by a rare and potentially fatal inherited metabolic disorder called Fabry disease are now benefiting from a new treatment that researchers at Childrens Hospital of Iowa helped create.. Fabry disease affects approximately 5,000 people worldwide. The average lifespan of people diagnosed with the disorder is 50 years. The disease is caused by a deficiency of an enzyme called alpha-galactosidase A. Patients affected by the condition can develop kidney failure, strokes, heart disease and disabling pain. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved a medication called Fabrazyme, produced by Genzyme General, for the treatment of Fabry disease. The therapy replaces the missing enzyme in order to help correct the disorder. The treatment took 30 years of research to develop.. Thomas Loew, M.D., associate professor (clinical) at Childrens Hospital of Iowa in University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, helped conduct the research that led to the FDAs approval of ...
Background: Fabry disease. an X-linked deficiency of α-galactosidase A coded by the GLA gene, leads to intracellular globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) accumulation. Although less common than in males, chronic kidney disease, occurs in ~15% of females. Recent studies highlight the importance of podocyte injury in Fabry nephropathy development and progression. We hypothesized that the greater the % of podocytes with active wild-type GLA gene (due to X-inactivation of the mutant copy) the less is the overall podocyte injury. Methods: Kidney biopsies from 12 treatment-naive females with Fabry disease, ages 15 (8-63), median [range], years were studied by electron microscopy and compared with 4 treatment-naive male patients.. Results: In females, 51 (13-100)% of podocytes (PC) per glomerulus had no GL-3 inclusions, this consistent with a non-Fabry podocyte phenotype (NFPC). In PC with GL-3 inclusions [Fabry podocyte phenotype (FPC)], GL-3 volume density per podocyte was virtually identical in females and ...
Enzyme replacement therapy can reduce storage, ease pain, and preserve organ function in some individuals with Fabry disease. Drugs are often prescribed to treat pain that accompanies Fabry disease but does not treat the disorder. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved migalastat (Galafold) as an oral medication for adults with Fabry disease who have a certain genetic mutation. Anti-platelet medications can help prevent strokes and medications that lower blood pressure can slow the decline of kidney function in people with Fabry disease. ...
Cardiac microvascular function abnormalities in Fabry patients have been demonstrated by measurements of myocardial blood flow and coronary flow reserve, an index of microvascular function.14 In addition, a survey of female Fabry patients revealed that cardiac ischemia could be confirmed by ECG and serological markers in the absence of coronary artery stenosis, suggesting that the ischemia in these patients was of microvascular origin.11 However, widespread coronary artery disease also has been documented in Fabry patients15 and noted at autopsy in a male patient who died of a massive myocardial infarction.16 In the present study, we characterized the baseline pathology of GL-3 accumulation in cardiac biopsies and demonstrated its successful clearance from the microvasculature after enzyme replacement therapy.. It has long been established that GL-3 is transported in low- and high-density lipoprotein particles17-19 and that vascular cells accumulate GL-3 from the circulation through the ...
Fabry disease is a rare enzyme deficiency known as a lysosomal storage disease. Wikipedia The enzyme involved, alpha galactosidase A, is coded by the GLA gene. OMIM Although Fabry disease has been considered an X-linked recessive condition, female carriers of a single mutated GLA gene may have significant symptoms. Enzyme replacement therapy is helpful, although it is currently extremely expensive, and production problems have led to shortages of the drug. [1] ...
Related Gene(s): GLA. Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a marked deficiency of α-galactosidase A enzyme activity. Affected individuals are unable to degrade globotriaosylceramide (GL-3, also called Gb3) and related glycolipids in their lysosomes. The progressive accumulation of GL-3 and its derivative, lyso-GL-3, results in symptoms that include characteristic skin lesions (angiokeratomas), decreased sweating (hypohidrosis), chronic fatigue, depression, neuropathic pain in the hands and feet (acroparesthesia), gastrointestinal issues, strokes, cardiac disease (including left ventricular hypertrophy, leading to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), and renal disease (proteinuria to end stage renal disease).. Fabry disease affects both men and women (heterozygotes), but the testing strategy varies based on sex. α-galactosidase A enzyme analysis alone detects all affected males, but is not reliable for the detection of Fabry disease in heterozygotes. Sequencing of the ...

Note the presence of a hyperechogenic region in the posterior wall (mid-wall level, arrow), corresponding to localized fibrosis. C. Right ventricular free wall hypertrophy from subcostal view.. In most cases of FD, the LVH is concentric and non-obstructive; however, an asymmetrical hypertrophy with septal thickening and posterior wall fibrotic thinning may present in advanced cases. There have also been rare case reports of patients with obstructive forms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The LVH is progressive in nature, and is rarely severe in children or adolescents. Of note, the echocardiographically derived cardiac mass is proportional to the electrocardiographic LVH low-voltage on the ECG, presenting an argument against Fabry disease in these patients.. Right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy is also common [9] (around 70% of Fabry patients display it) and may progress to RV dilation (Figure 1C). ...
BACKGROUND: Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder frequently associated with cerebrovascular disease. In recent years, the prevalence of FD has been reported to be up to 4% in cryptogenic young stroke patients. However, there have been no population-based studies in unselected patients with transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or stroke across the full range of ages. METHODS: We determined the prevalence of FD mutations in consecutive patients from a population-based study of acute TIA or ischaemic stroke (Oxford Vascular Study). Analysis included amplifying of the α-galactosidase A gene by polymerase chain reaction, denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (dHPLC) analysis and sequencing using standard automated sequencing protocols [Mutation Surveyor software (Softgenetics)] where the dHPLC indicated a possible mutation. RESULTS: Samples of 1046 consecutive patients (52% women; mean age 73.2 years; 15% age |60 years; 572 stroke; 474 TIA) were tested. No patient had a known

We developed a mass spectrometric procedure to quantify sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in biological materials. The use of newly synthesized (13)C5 C18-S1P and commercial C17-S1P as internal standards rendered very similar results with respect to linearity, limit of detection and limit of quantitation. Caution is warranted with determination of plasma S1P levels. Earlier it was reported that S1P is elevated in plasma of Fabry disease patients. We investigated this with the improved quantification. No clear conclusion could be drawn for patient plasma samples given the lack of uniformity of blood collection and plasma preparation. To still obtain insight, plasma and tissues were identically collected from α-galactosidase A deficient Fabry mice and matched control animals. No significant difference was observed in plasma S1P levels. A significant 2.3 fold increase was observed in kidney of Fabry mice, but not in liver and heart. Comparative analysis of S1P in cultured fibroblasts from normal ...

Fabrys disease is a multi-systemic disease, meaning it affects several systems of the body. Thus, Fabry management requires a multidisciplinary, expert team. The most common treatment is Enzyme Replacement Therapy, which aims to replace what the body is lacking. In this case, the body is lacking functional alpha-Gal A enzyme. The treatment is given in the form of bi-weekly infusions. Also, new oral medications (Chaperone therapy) can be administered for specific mutations. However, patients also require a comprehensive therapeutic approach from an expert team. The core team involved in the management of Fabrys disease usually includes a kidney doctor, a heart specialist, and a pain management specialist. Other doctors, including a digestive and lung disease specialist may be involved in the management as well.. Typically, physicians recommend the following:. ...
