Effects of switching from agalsidase-α to agalsidase-β on biomarkers, renal and cardiac parameters, and disease severity in fabry disease forming neutralizing antidrug antibodies: a case report. CEN Case Rep 2024; 13:290-296.

Abstract
Fabry disease is an X-linked hereditary disorder caused by deficient α-galactosidase A (GLA) activity. Patients with Fabry disease are often treated with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). However, ERT often induces the formation of neutralizing antidrug antibodies (ADAs), which may impair the therapeutic efficacy. Here, we report the case of a 32-year-old man with Fabry disease and resultant neutralizing ADAs who was treated by switching from agalsidase-α to agalsidase-β. We monitored biomarkers, such as plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3), urinary globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), urinary mulberry bodies, renal and cardiac parameters, and disease severity during the treatment period. Although plasma lyso-Gb3 and urinary Gb3 levels quickly decreased within two months after the initiation of ERT with agalsidase-α, they gradually increased thereafter. The urinary mulberry bodies continued to appear. Both the ADA titer and serum mediated GLA inhibition rates started to increase after two months. Moreover, 3.5 years after ERT, the vacuolated podocyte area in the renal biopsy decreased slightly from 23.1 to 18.9%. However, plasma lyso-Gb3 levels increased, and urinary Gb3, mulberry body levels, and ADA titers remained high. Therefore, we switched to agalsidase-β which reduced, but did not normalize, plasma lyso-Gb3 levels and stabilized renal and cardiac parameters. Disease severity was attenuated. However, urinary Gb3 and mulberry body levels did not decrease noticeably in the presence of high ADA titers. The kidneys take up a small amount of the administered recombinant enzyme, and the clearance of Gb3 that has accumulated in the kidney may be limited despite the switching from agalsidase-α to agalsidase-β.

Profiles of Globotriaosylsphingosine Analogs and Globotriaosylceramide Isoforms Accumulated in Body Fluids from Various Phenotypic Fabry Patients. Intern Med 2024; 63:1531-1537. [PMID: 37866916 PMCID: PMC11189715 DOI: 10.2169/internalmedicine.2493-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives Fabry disease is characterized by the systemic accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and globotriaosylsphingosine (Lyso-Gb3), which are widely used as biomarkers of the disease. However, few reports have described the relationship of Lyso-Gb3 analogs and Gb3 isoforms with the disease. The present study determined the profiles of Lyso-Gb3 analogs and Gb3 isoforms accumulated in body fluids from various phenotypic Fabry patients to elucidate the basis of the disease. Methods Plasma Lyso-Gb3 and related analogs were measured in 15 classic Fabry men, 6 later-onset Fabry men, 11 Fabry women, and 36 controls, while urinary Gb3 isoforms were measured in 5 classic Fabry men, 5 later-onset Fabry men, 17 Fabry women, and 11 controls, using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Furthermore, these values were monitored for a classic Fabry man, in whom neutralizing anti-drug antibodies had developed following enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). Results The levels of plasma Lyso-Gb3 analogs/urinary Gb3 isoforms were higher in Fabry patients than in controls, especially in classic Fabry men. However, minor differences in the ratio of each Lyso-Gb3 analog and Gb3 isoform with respect to the total Lyso-Gb3 analogs and Gb3 isoforms, respectively, were observed among individual classic Fabry men. Their time courses were well associated with the development and attenuation of anti-drug antibodies in a patient with classic Fabry disease during ERT. Conclusion Quantification of Lyso-Gb3 analogs and Gb3 isoforms provides us with more detailed information about the substrates that accumulated in the body fluids of Fabry patients than does quantification of Lyso-Gb3 and Gb3 alone, so this approach may be useful for elucidating the basis of Fabry disease.

Sphingolipidoses in Morocco: Chemical profiling for an affordable and rapid diagnosis strategy. Prostaglandins Other Lipid Mediat 2023; 168:106751. [PMID: 37295489 DOI: 10.1016/j.prostaglandins.2023.106751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Sphingolipidoses are a group of metabolic diseases in which lysosomal hydrolases dysfunction disrupt normal sphingolipids' metabolism, leading to excess accumulation in cellular compartments and excretion in urine. These pathologies represent a significant burden among Moroccan population, for which an easy access to enzymatic assays and genetic tests is not guaranteed. Parallel analytical methods thus have to be developed for preliminary screening. In this study, 107 patients were addressed to the metabolic platform of the Marrakesh Faculty of Medicine for diagnosis confirmation. Thin-Layer Chromatography was used as a first step to perform chemical profiling of the patients' urinary lipids, allowing 36% of the patients to be efficiently oriented towards the adequate enzymatic assay. UPLC-MS/MS analyses of urinary sulfatides excreted in urines patient had been used to control the reliability of TLC analysis and to obtain more accurate information related to the sulfatides isoforms. This analytical process combining TLC with UPLC-MS/MS has enabled rapid and appropriate patient management in a reduced time and with reduced resources.

Abstract
We monitored anti-drug antibodies and disease-specific biomarkers in three patients with a nonsense mutation from a Japanese Fabry family treated with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). In two male patients from the family, neutralizing anti-drug antibodies were induced at an early stage of ERT, the antibody titer peak being found at an earlier stage of ERT in the patient treated with 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta than in that treated with 0.2 mg/kg agalsidase alfa. Then, the antibody titers decreased with continuation of ERT. The formation of neutralizing anti-drug antibodies adversely affected the plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (Lyso-Gb3) level and urinary globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) excretion in both patients, the impact being greater in the patient treated with 0.2 mg/kg agalsidase alfa than in that treated with 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta. The difference might be explained by the different doses of the infused enzymes based on supersaturation of the antibodies. In a heterozygous Fabry female from the family, no sign of antibody formation was found, and both the plasma Lyso-Gb3 level and urinary Gb3 excretion, which were moderately increased at the baseline, decreased gradually. No deterioration of the manifestations or laboratory findings was observed during ERT in either of the patients. Thus, monitoring of anti-drug antibodies and biomarkers in these Fabry patients provided us with important information on their pathological condition during ERT.

Abstract
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal disease due to a deficiency in the activity of the lysosomal-galactosidase A (GalA), a key enzyme in the glycosphingolipid degradation pathway. FD is a complex disease with a poor genotype–phenotype correlation. In the early stages, FD could involve the peripheral nervous system (acroparesthesias and dysautonomia) and the ski (angiokeratoma), but later kidney, heart or central nervous system impairment may significantly decrease life expectancy. The advent of omics technologies offers the possibility of a global, integrated and systemic approach well-suited for the exploration of this complex disease. In this narrative review, we will focus on the main metabolomic studies, which have underscored the importance of detecting biomarkers for a diagnostic and prognostic purpose in FD. These investigations are potentially useful to explain the wide clinical, biochemical and molecular heterogeneity found in FD patients. Moreover, the quantitative mass spectrometry methods developed to evaluate concentrations of these biomarkers in urine and plasma will be described. Finally, the complex metabolic biomarker profile depicted in FD patients will be reported, which varies according to gender, types of mutations, and therapeutic treatment.
