Immune response hinders therapy for lysosomal storage diseases.
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for the lysosomal storage disease mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) involves i.v. injection of alpha-l-iduronidase, which can be taken up by cells throughout the body. While a significant immune response to ERT has been shown in patients with MPS I, little is known about what effect anti-enzyme antibodies have on treatment efficacy. In this issue of the JCI, Dicks...
متن کاملEnzyme replacement therapy for lysosomal storage diseases.
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has been approved for 6 lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) worldwide including Japan. These diseases include Gaucher disease (GD), Fabry disease, mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) types I, II, and VI, and Pompe disease (PD). The efficacy and safety of ERT for LSDs has been confirmed by extensive clinical trials. However, there are still obstacles to successful ERT, suc...
متن کاملMolecular Therapy for Lysosomal Storage Diseases
Lysosomes are organella involving the catabolism of biomolecules extracellularly and intra‐ cellularly incorporated, which contain more than 60 distinct acidic hydrolases (lysosomal enzymes) and their co-factors. Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are caused by germ-line gene mutations encoding lysosomal enzymes, their activator proteins, integral membrane proteins, cholesterol transporters and ...
متن کاملLysosomal storage diseases
Lysosomes are cytoplasmic organelles that contain a variety of different hydrolases. A genetic deficiency in the enzymatic activity of one of these hydrolases will lead to the accumulation of the material meant for lysosomal degradation. Examples include glycogen in the case of Pompe disease, glycosaminoglycans in the case of the mucopolysaccharidoses, glycoproteins in the cases of the oligosac...
متن کاملClarifying lysosomal storage diseases.
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a class of metabolic disorders caused by mutations in proteins critical for lysosomal function. Such proteins include lysosomal enzymes, lysosomal integral membrane proteins, and proteins involved in the post-translational modification and trafficking of lysosomal proteins. There are many recognized forms of LSDs and, although individually rare, their combi...
