Abstract
Gaucher disease (GD) is caused by pathogenic mutations in GBA1, the gene that encodes the lysosomal enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase. Despite the existence of a variety of specific treatments for GD, they cannot completely reverse bone complications. Many studies have evidenced the impairment in bone tissue of GD, and molecular mechanisms of bone density alterations in GD are being studied during the last years and different reports emphasized its efforts trying to unravel why and how bone tissue is affected. The cause of skeletal density affection in GD is a matter of debates between research groups. and there are two opposing hypotheses trying to explain reduced bone mineral density in GD: increased bone resorption versus impaired bone formation. In this review, we discuss the diverse mechanisms of bone alterations implicated in GD revealed until the present, along with a presentation of normal bone physiology and its regulation. With this information in mind, we discuss effectiveness of specific therapies, introduce possible adjunctive therapies and present a novel model for GD-associated bone density pathogenesis. Under the exposed evidence, we may conclude that both sides of the balance of remodeling process are altered. In GD the observed osteopenia/osteoporosis may be the result of contribution of both reduced bone formation and increased bone resorption.

Abstract
Gaucher disease (GD) is caused by pathogenic mutations in GBA1, the gene that encodes the lysosomal enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase. Until now, treatments for GD cannot completely reverse bone problems. The aim of this work was to evaluate the potential of MSCs from GD patients (GD MSCs) to differentiate towards the osteoblast (GD Ob) and adipocyte (GD Ad) lineages, and their role in osteoclastogenesis. We observed that GD Ob exhibited reduced mineralization, collagen deposition and alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), as well as decreased gene expression of RUNX2, COLA1 and ALP. We also evaluated the process of osteoclastogenesis and observed that conditioned media from GD MSCs supernatants induced an increase in the number of osteoclasts. In this model, osteoclastogenesis was induced by RANKL and IL-1β. Furthermore, results showed that in GD MSCs there was a promotion in NLRP3 and PPAR-γ gene expression. Adipogenic differentiation revealed that GD Ad had an increase in PPAR-γ and a reduced RUNX2 gene expression, promoting adipocyte differentiation. In conclusion, our results show that GD MSCs exhibited deficient GD Ob differentiation and increased adipogenesis. In addition, we show that GD MSCs promoted increased osteoclastogenesis through RANKL and IL-1β. These changes in GD MSCs are likely to contribute to skeletal imbalance observed in GD patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A and generally causes multi-organ dysfunction. Heart disease is the main cause of death, due to severe left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and sudden death. In several heart diseases, the LV systolic dysfunction and ventricular arrhythmias are associated with mechanical dispersion (MD). The presence of MD in patients with FD has not been studied yet. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the prevalence of MD in patients with FD.
Methods
Complete echocardiographic and speckle tracking echocardiographic (STE) data were collected. MD is an index of inter-segmental discoordination of contraction which has been used to quantify LV dyssynchrony and was defined as the standard deviation (SD) of time to peak negative strain in 17 left ventricular segments. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether or not they had left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). MD was defined as an SD >49 msec.
Results
We studied 108 patients with FD, 24 patients (22%) were excluded due to inadequate imaging quality or presence of comorbidities, so the final study population consisted of 84 patients (mean age 33.3±14.6 years, 60.7% women). LVH in FD appears at older ages than in patients without LVH (48±12.5 y/o vs 27.8±11.1 y/o, p<0.0001). Patients with FD without LVH (Group I) showed normal global longitudinal peak strain (GLPS) (21.2±2.5%) and no MD (32.7±8.8 msec). In Group II (n=23) patients with FD with LVH, 17 (73.9%) had MD >49 msec prolonged mechanical dispersion (73.3±20.7 msec) and reduced GLPS (13.6±4.0%). MD was more pronounced in Fabry patients with LVH than in patients without LVH (63.4±24.7 msec vs. 32.7±8.8 msec, p<0.0001). GLPS was lower in Fabry patients with LVH than in patients without LVH (15.3±4.7% vs 21.2±2.5%, p<0.0001).

Conclusions
To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate the prevalence of mechanical dispersion in patients with FD. Mechanical dispersion was seen in 73.9% of patients with FD with LVH. This dyssynchrony should be taken into account in patients who develop heart failure or life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias.

Abstract
Gaucher disease (GD) is caused by mutations in the GBA gene that confer a deficient level of activity of glucocerebrosidase (GCase). This deficiency leads to the accumulation of the glycolipid glucocerebroside in the lysosomes of cells of monocyte/macrophage system. Bone compromise in Gaucher disease patients is the most disabling aspect of the disease. However, pathophysiological aspects of skeletal alterations are still poorly understood. On the other hand it is well known that inflammation is a key player in GD pathology. In this work, we revealed increased levels of the proinflammatory CD14(+)CD16(+) monocyte subset and increased inflammatory cytokine production by monocytes and T cells in the circulation of GD patients. We showed increased levels of osteoclast precursors in PBMC from patients and a higher expression of RANKL in the surface of T cells. PBMC from patients presented higher osteoclast differentiation compared to healthy controls when cultured in the presence of M-CSF alone or in combination with RANKL. In vitro treatment with Velaglucerase reduced osteoclast levels to control levels. On the other hand THP-1 derived osteoclast precursors cultured in the presence of conditioned media from PBMC of GD patients presented higher differentiation to active osteoclasts. This induction involved TNF-α and RANKL.

Abstract
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal disorder caused by the deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-Gal A). In males, the laboratory diagnosis is based on the demonstration of decreased levels of alpha-Gal A activity, while in females, the disease is diagnosed by the identification of a mutation in alpha-Gal A gene. Fabry disease in Argentina is underdiagnosed. To date, no comprehensive screening study of Fabry disease in our country has been reported. The present study aimed at developing a targeted screening for the detection of Fabry patients from Argentina based on the set of typical signs and symptoms. We received 121 blood samples from probable Fabry patients for enzymatic and genetic assay. We diagnosed six Fabry patients from six unrelated families, representing a yield of detection of 4.96%. The mutations detected in five of the families analysed were missense mutations: p.Leu243Trp, p.Asp155His, p.Leu415Pro, p.Cys94Tyr and p.Leu191Pro. After the detection of a Fabry patient, his/her relatives were also screened. In the course of these family studies, other 64 Fabry patients, 29 males and 35 females, were detected. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive screening of Fabry disease in Argentina. We detected 70 patients in a period of 2.5 years. The development of targeted protocols and the constitution of interdisciplinary groups for the identification of patients with Fabry disease are recommended to obtain a higher yield in the process.
