  29. poor solubility precipitates in joints, initiates chemical arthritis GOUT Why is uric acid acidic? uric acid (oxo) uric acid (enol) urate (dissociated anion) well soluble

  30. Hyperuricemia (gout) Symptoms: • urate crystals on the napkin (Lesch-Nyhan) • Na-urate crystals  kidney stones • urate in connective tissues and joints: „tophus”, inflammation, pain acute gouty arthritis chronic gouty arthritis Reason: Urate has low solubility (especially at acidic pH )

  31. gl -6-P PPP fr -6-P ri -5-P PRPP Reasons forhyperuricemia 1. PRPP overproduction • as a consequence of mutation • at the allosteric site of PRPP synthase, • the enzyme cannot be inhibited • overproduction of ribose-5-P e.g. gl-6-phosphatase deficiency (von Gierke’s disease) Gl- 6-P   fr- 6-P   ri- 5-P 

  32. 2. Absence of purine salvage reactions Reasons forhyperuricemia e.g. HPRT deficiency Decreased adenine, guanine reutilization  increased excretion

  33. Reasonsforhyperuricemia • 3. Low ATP level, disturbed ATP metabolism • strenuous exercise fructose intolerance (phosphate trap) see before

  34. 4. Secondary reasons: • tissue damage • cancer, cell damage • Overproduction of organic anions • (lactate, ketone bodies, drug derivatives) Reasonsforhyperuricemia  DNA breakdown overproduction of purines

  35. Competitive inhibitors Medication of gout: allopurinol Xanthine oxidase xanthine hypoxanthine allopurinol alloxanthine oxopurinol Hypoxanthine and xanthine in urine (better solubility)

  36. Allopurinol, a special purine analogue N-7 and C-8 have been scrambled up Blocks xanthine oxidase, the enzyme catalyzing the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid – cures gout

  37. ADA / PNP / (ADA + PNP) Symptoms: Reason: Mechanism: Treatment: ADA enzyme therapy, Enzyme deficiency: immunodeficiency, “NON-HIV AIDS” B/T lymphocyte deficiency adenosine   dATP (ATP)  dATP  inhibits ribonucleotide reductase  inhibits DNA synthesis  promotes apoptosis gene therapy

  38. Adenosine deaminase functions on the outer surface of red and white blood cell membranes (ectoenzyme) ADA ADA binding glycoprotein („complexing factor”)

  39. The pathogenesis of SCID - selective lymphotoxicity 1. Extracellular accumulation of (deoxy)adenosine (d)Ado A2 A1 Gi Gs dAdo cAMP  cAMP  Inhibition of the SAM/SAH cycle Impaired DNA synthesis

  40. The pathogenesis of SCID - selective lymphotoxicity 2. Intracellular accumulation of (deoxy)adenosine triphosphate Inhibition of ribonucleotide reductase Inhibition of cell proliferation dCK dATP  dAdo dAdo dAMP AK DNA strand breaks Inhibition of DNA polymerases Lymphocyte- selectivity!! apoptosis

  41. Clinical manifestation of SCID  Recurring, opportunistic infections: candidiasis, Pneumocystis-pneumonia  Absence of lymph nodes, no thymic shadow upon chest X-ray examination  Severe impairment of both humoral and cellular immunity:  lower than 500/μl total lymphocyte count  very low plasma immunoglobulin levels  Untreated patients die before their age of 2 years

  42. Treatment of ADA deficiency 1. Treatment of symptoms  Infections antibiotics, antiviral and antifungal drugs  Immunoglobulin supplementation Maternal immunoglobulins are effective in the first few weeks of life

  43. Treatment of ADA deficiency 2. Enzyme substitution  Red blood cell transfusion  Polyethylene-glycol-conjugated recombinanat ADA (PEG-ADA): intramuscular injection costs: 250,000 USD a year

  44. Treatment of ADA deficiency 3. Gene therapy Principle: Introduction of the normal allele into the patients’ own stem cells Ex vivo: Stem cells are transfected and trans- planted into the patient

  45. Ex vivo gene therapy

  46. Ashanti da Silva: the first patient in the world treated by retrovirus-mediated ADA gene therapy The introduced ADA gene functioned fine for a few months. Later on, PEG-ADA substitution therapy must have been restarted due to inactivation of the gene.
