CURRENT AND FUTURE STRATEGIES FOR THE • TREATMENT OF METABOLIC STORAGE DISORDERS • 1. BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION • 2. ENZYME REPLACEMENT THERAPY • 3. SUBSTRATE REDUCTION THERAPY • 4. MOLECULAR CHAPERONE THERAPY • 5. GENE THERAPY
Hereditary Lipid Storage Disorders Sphingolipidoses
SPHINGOSINE CH3 -(CH2)12-CH=CH-CH-CH-CH2OH OH NH2 3 2 1 18 Carbon atoms 1 and 2 arise from the amino acid serine Carbon atoms 3 to 18 arise from palmitic acid
CERAMIDE Sphingosine CH3 -(CH2)12-CH=CH-CH-CH-CH2OH OH NH CH3 - (CH2)22 - C = 0 Long Chain Fatty Acid
Gaucher Disease Type 1 (Non- Neuronopathic) Anemia Easy bruising due to low blood platelets Bone damage Enlarged liver Huge spleen
ACCUMULATING LIPID IN GAUCHER DISEASE GLUCOCEREBROSIDE SPHINGOSINE GLUCOSE FATTYACID
ENZYMATIC DEFECT IN GAUCHER DISEASE DEFICIENCY OF GLUCOCEREBROSIDASE SPHINGOSINE GLUCOSE FATTY ACID R. O. Brady et al. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 1965; 18: 221
MAJOR LIPID OF WHITE BLOOD CELLS CERAMIDELACTOSIDE SPHINGOSINE GLUCOSE GALACTOSE FATTY ACID
MAJOR LIPID OF RED BLOOD CELLS GLOBOSIDE SPHINGOSINE—GLUCOSE—GALACTOSE—GALACTOSE—N-ACETYGALACTOSAMINE FATTY ACID • 20-40 times more glucocerebroside arises from senescent • white blood cells than red blood cells
TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH LYSOSOMAL STORAGE DISORDERS Bone Marrow Transplantation
BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION (BMT) If a suitable match is available, BMT can cure a patient with type 1 Gaucher disease Risks Graft-versus host disease Continuous immunosuppression probably necessary Implication ? Gene therapy using transduced bone marrow stem cells
TREATMENT STRATEGIES 2. ENZYME REPLACEMENT THERAPY R. O. BRADY N Engl J Med 1966; 275: 312
GAUCHER DISEASE The required enzyme glucocerebrosidase is currently produced recombinantly in Chinese hamster ovary cells. It is necessary to modify the glycoform of this enzyme in order to target it to macrophages, the principal lipid- storing cells in the body of patients.
GLUCOCEREBROSIDASE IS TREATED WITH 3 EXOGLYCOSIDASES
Delivery of mannose-terminal glucocerebrosidase to lipid-storing macrophages (Kupffer cells in the liver) is increased 50-fold over that of unmodified glucocerebrosidase
RESULTS OF ENZYME REPLACEMENT THERAPY IN GAUCHER PATIENTSUSING MACROPHAGE- TARGETED GLUCOCEREBROSIDASE Spleen size decreases Liver size decreases Hemoglobin increases Blood platelets increase Skeleton improves
SPLEEN MRI OF ABDOMEN ERT 7 months ERT
MORE THAN 4,300 PATIENTS WITH GAUCHER DISEASE ARE NOW RECEIVING ENZYME REPLACEMENT THERAPY
TYPE 2 GAUCHER DISEASE Acute Neuronopathic Gaucher Disease
Neuronophagia in the brain of a patient with Type 2 Gaucher disease
WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF GLUCOCEREBROSIDE IN THE BRAIN?
Ganglioside GDIa SPHINGOSINE -GLUCOSE -GALACTOSE- N-ACETYGALACTOSAMINE- GALACTOSE FATTY ACID N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID
ENZYME REPLACEMENT THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 GAUCHER DISEASE No benefit of intravenous glucocerebrosidase on brain
WOULD DIRECTINTRACEREBRAL INJECTION OF GLUCOCEREBROSIDASE BE EFFECTIVE? (CONVECTION-ENHANCED DELIVERY)
Safety and Distribution of Mannose-terminal Glucocerebrosidase Injected into the Brain of Normal Rats G.C. Zirzow et al. Neurochemical Res 1999; 24: 301
NEURONAL UPTAKE OF INTRA-CEREBRALLY ADMINISTERED GLUCOCEREBROSIDASE
Safety Study of Intracerebrally Injected Glucocerebrosidase in Non-human Primates R. Lonser et al, Annals of Neurology 2005; 57: 543
TREATMENT STRATEGIES 3. SUBSTRATE REDUCTION THERAPY
REDUCE THE FORMATION OF GLUCOCEREBROSIDE SPHINGOSINE + UDP–GLUCOSE SPHINGOSINE GLUCOSE + UDP FATTY ACID FATTY ACID Glucocerebroside UDP-GLUCOSE = URIDINE DIPHOSPHATE GLUCOSE = SITE OF INHIBITION OF GLUCOSYLTRANSFERASE
Small Molecule Inhibitor of Glucocerebroside Formation MIGLUSTAT
SUBSTRATE DEPLETION MiglustatOGT 918 (Zavesca) has been approved for the treatment of patients with type 1 Gaucher disease for whom enzyme replacement therapy is not appropriate. (Cox T, Lachmann R, Hollak C, et al. Lancet 2000; 355: 1481)
Patient with Type 3a Chronic Neuronopathic Gaucher Disease Slow horizontal eye movement
SUBSTRATE DEPLETION • Ongoing NIH Investigation of OGT 918 in • Patients with Type 3 (Chronic Neuronopathic) • Gaucher Disease Who Also Receive Enzyme • Replacement Therapy to Control the Systemic • Manifestations of the Disease
TREATMENT STRATEGIES 4. MOLECULAR CHAPERONE THERAPY
