Production in yeast of alpha-galactosidase A, a lysosomal enzyme applicable to enzyme replacement therapy for Fabry disease.
A mammalian-like sugar moiety was created in glycoprotein by Saccharomyces cerevisiae in combination with bacterial alpha-mannosidase to produce a more economic enzyme replacement therapy for patients with Fabry disease. We introduced the human alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-GalA) gene into an S. cerevisiae mutant that was deficient in the outer chains of N-linked mannan. The recombinant alpha-Ga...
متن کاملEnzyme replacement therapy for Anderson-Fabry disease.
BACKGROUND Anderson-Fabry disease is an X-linked defect of glycosphingolipid metabolism. Progressive renal insufficiency is a major source of morbidity, additional complications result from cardio- and cerebro-vascular involvement. Survival is reduced among affected males and symptomatic female carriers. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of enzyme replacement therapy compare...
متن کاملAnderson-Fabry disease: enzyme replacement therapy.
Sir, Anderson-Fabry disease is a metabolic lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of the enzyme a-galactosidase A and inherited as an X-linked recessive trait. The progressive accumulation of glycosphingolipids (globotriaosylceramide, GB3) in blood, vessels and cells from several organs and tissues causes significant multi-systemic damage in homozygous males and in carrier females. Fo...
متن کاملEnzyme replacement therapy in Fabry disease: a randomized controlled trial.
CONTEXT Fabry disease is a metabolic disorder without a specific treatment, caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-gal A). Most patients experience debilitating neuropathic pain and premature mortality because of renal failure, cardiovascular disease, or cerebrovascular disease. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous alpha-gal A for F...
متن کاملParadoxical Response to Enzyme Replacement Therapy of Fabry Disease Cardiomyopathy.
A 53-year-old asymptomatic man with no family history of Fabry disease or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) exhibited increased ECG voltages (Figure [A]) and primary cardiac hypertrophy (left ventricular maximal wall thickness 16 mm and myocardial mass 163.2 g) with preserved contractility at cardiac magnetic resonance (Figure [D]). He was diagnosed in 2006 to be affected by Fabry disease cardi...
