Abstract

Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the less rare and severe genetic disease among the European population. Biochemical diagnosis of CF is based on the demonstration of increased chloride concentration in sweat samples, obtained during the sweat test (ST). WynSep developed a capillary electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection (CE-C4D) able to measure sweat chloride with a low sample volume. We evaluated the clinical feasibility of this device in a cohort of patients suspected of CF, in comparison with the common coulometric method (ChloroChek chloridometer). Methods: We determined sweat chloride concentration of 65 samples from patients referred to our institution to undergo a sweat test. Each sample was submitted to coulometric method first, then WynSep-CE, with or without internal standard (IS) subject to sufficient volume sample. Results: A total of 53 samples were analysed by both coulometric and WynSep-CE (using IS) methods. The method validation showed comparable analytical performances for both methods; no false positive or false negative was recorded. The two methods showed a high correlation (r = 0.993, p

Abstract

We report the case of a boy who was diagnosed with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) VII at two weeks of age. He harbored three missense β-glucuronidase (GUSB) variations in exon 3: two novel, c.422A>C and c.424C>T, inherited from his mother, and the rather common c.526C>T, inherited from his father. Expression of these variations in transfected HEK293T cells demonstrated that the double mutation c.422A>C;424C>T reduces β-glucuronidase enzyme activity. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), using UX003 (vestronidase alfa), was started at four months of age, followed by a hematopoietic stem cell allograft transplantation (HSCT) at 13 months of age. ERT was well tolerated and attenuated visceromegaly and skin infiltration. After a severe skin and gut graft-versus-host disease, ERT was stopped six months after HSCT. The last follow-up examination (at the age of four years) revealed a normal psychomotor development, stabilized growth curve, no hepatosplenomegaly, and no other organ involvement. Intriguingly, enzyme activity had normalized in leukocytes but remained low in plasma. This case report illustrates: (i) The need for an early diagnosis of MPS, and (ii) the possible benefit of a very early enzymatic and/or cellular therapy in this rare form of lysosomal storage disease.

Abstract

Sphingolipids play a key structural role in cellular membranes and/or act as signaling molecules. Inherited defects of their catabolism lead to lysosomal storage diseases called sphingolipidoses. Although progress has been made toward a better understanding of their pathophysiology, several issues still remain unsolved. In particular, whether lysosphingolipids, the deacylated form of sphingolipids, both of which accumulate in these diseases, are simple biomarkers or play an instrumental role is unclear. In the meanwhile, evidence has been provided for a high risk of developing malignancies in patients affected with Gaucher disease, the most common sphingolipidosis. This article aims at analyzing the potential involvement of lysosphingolipids in cancer. Knowledge about lysosphingolipids in the context of lysosomal storage diseases is summarized. Available data on the nature and prevalence of cancers in patients affected with sphingolipidoses are also reviewed. Then, studies investigating the biological effects of lysosphingolipids toward pro or antitumor pathways are discussed. Finally, original findings exploring the role of glucosylsphingosine in the development of melanoma are presented. While this lysosphingolipid may behave like a protumorigenic agent, further investigations in appropriate models are needed to elucidate the role of these peculiar lipids, not only in sphingolipidoses but also in malignant diseases in general.

Abstract

International audience; In hepatocytes, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) orchestrates a genomic and metabolic response required for homeostasis during fasting. This includes the biosynthesis of ketone bodies and of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21). Here we show that in the absence of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) in adipocytes, ketone body and FGF21 production is impaired upon fasting. Liver gene expression analysis highlights a set of fasting-induced genes sensitive to both ATGL deletion in adipocytes and PPARα deletion in hepatocytes. Adipose tissue lipolysis induced by activation of the β3-adrenergic receptor also triggers such PPARα-dependent responses not only in the liver but also in brown adipose tissue (BAT). Intact PPARα activity in hepatocytes is required for the cross-talk between adipose tissues and the liver during fat mobilization.

Abstract

ObjectiveWe evaluated the influence of sex on the pathophysiology of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We investigated diet-induced phenotypic responses to define sex-specific regulation between healthy liver and NAFLD to identify influential pathways in different preclinical murine models and their relevance in humans.DesignDifferent models of diet-induced NAFLD (high-fat diet, choline-deficient high-fat diet, Western diet or Western diet supplemented with fructose and glucose in drinking water) were compared with a control diet in male and female mice. We performed metabolic phenotyping, including plasma biochemistry and liver histology, untargeted large-scale approaches (liver metabolome, lipidome and transcriptome), gene expression profiling and network analysis to identify sex-specific pathways in the mouse liver.ResultsThe different diets induced sex-specific responses that illustrated an increased susceptibility to NAFLD in male mice. The most severe lipid accumulation and inflammation/fibrosis occurred in males receiving the high-fat diet and Western diet, respectively. Sex-biased hepatic gene signatures were identified for these different dietary challenges. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) co-expression network was identified as sexually dimorphic, and in vivo experiments in mice demonstrated that hepatocyte PPARα determines a sex-specific response to fasting and treatment with pemafibrate, a selective PPARα agonist. Liver molecular signatures in humans also provided evidence of sexually dimorphic gene expression profiles and the sex-specific co-expression network for PPARα.ConclusionsThese findings underscore the sex specificity of NAFLD pathophysiology in preclinical studies and identify PPARα as a pivotal, sexually dimorphic, pharmacological target.Trial registration numberNCT02390232.

Abstract

ObjectiveIn hepatocytes, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) acts as a lipid sensor that regulates hepatic lipid catabolism during fasting and orchestrates a genomic response required for whole-body homeostasis. This includes the biosynthesis of ketone bodies and the secretion of the starvation hormone fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21). Several lines of evidence suggest that adipose tissue lipolysis contributes to this specific process. However, whether adipose tissue lipolysis is a dominant signal for the extensive remodeling of liver gene expression dependent on PPARα has not been investigated.MethodsFirst, using mice lacking adipose tissue lipolysis through adipocyte-specific deletion of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), we characterized the responses dependent on adipocyte ATGL during fasting. Next, we performed liver whole genome expression analysis in fasted mice upon deletion of adipocyte ATGL or hepatocyte PPARα. Finally, we tested the consequences of hepatocyte-specific PPARα deficiency during pharmacological induction of adipocyte lipolysis with a β3-adrenergic receptor agonist.ResultsIn the absence of ATGL in adipocytes, ketone body and FGF21 productions were impaired in response to starvation. Liver transcriptome analysis revealed that adipocyte ATGL is critical for regulation of hepatic gene expression during fasting and highlighted a strong enrichment in PPARα target genes in this condition. Genome expression analysis confirmed that a large set of fasting-induced genes are sensitive to both ATGL and PPARα. Adipose tissue lipolysis induced by acute activation of the β3-adrenergic receptor also triggered PPARα-dependent responses in the liver, supporting a role for adipocyte-derived fatty acids as dominant signals for hepatocyte PPARα activity. In addition, the absence of hepatocyte PPARα altered brown adipose tissue (BAT) morphology and reduced UCP1 expression upon stimulation of the β3-adrenergic receptor. In agreement with this finding, mice lacking hepatocyte PPARα showed decreased tolerance to acute cold exposure.ConclusionsThese results underscore the central role of hepatocyte PPARα in the sensing of adipocyte-derived fatty acids and reveal that its activity is essential for full activation of BAT. Intact PPARα activity in hepatocytes is required for cross-talk between adipose tissues and the liver during fat mobilization during fasting and cold exposure.

Abstract

Ceramides are membrane lipids implicated in the regulation of numerous biological functions. Recent evidence suggests that specific subsets of molecular species of ceramide may play distinct physiological roles. The importance of this family of molecules in vertebrates is witnessed by the deleterious consequences of genetic alterations in ceramide metabolism. This brief review summarizes the clinical presentation of human disorders due to the deficiency of enzymes involved either in the biosynthesis or the degradation of ceramides. Information on the possible underlying pathophysiological mechanisms is also provided, based on knowledge gathered from animal models of these inherited rare conditions. When appropriate, tools for chemical and molecular diagnosis of these disorders and therapeutic options are also presented.

Abstract

The roles of ceramide and its catabolites, i.e., sphingosine and sphingosine 1-phosphate, in the development of malignancies and the response to anticancer regimens have been extensively described. Moreover, an abundant literature points to the effects of glucosylceramide synthase, the mammalian enzyme that converts ceramide to β-glucosylceramide, in protecting tumor cells from chemotherapy. Much less is known about the contribution of β-glucosylceramide and its breakdown products in cancer progression. In this chapter, we first review published and personal clinical observations that report on the increased risk of developing cancers in patients affected with Gaucher disease, an inborn disorder characterized by defective lysosomal degradation of β-glucosylceramide. The previously described mechanistic links between lysosomal β-glucosylceramidase, β-glucosylceramide and/or β-glucosylphingosine, and various hallmarks of cancer are reviewed. We further show that melanoma tumor growth is facilitated in a Gaucher disease mouse model. Finally, the potential roles of the β-glucosylceramidase protein and its lipidic substrates and/or downstream products are discussed.

Abstract

Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the less rare and severe genetic disease among the European population. Biochemical diagnosis of CF is based on the demonstration of increased chloride concentration in sweat samples, obtained during the sweat test (ST). WynSep developed a capillary electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection (CE-C4D) able to measure sweat chloride with a low sample volume. We evaluated the clinical feasibility of this device in a cohort of patients suspected of CF, in comparison with the common coulometric method (ChloroChek chloridometer). Methods: We determined sweat chloride concentration of 65 samples from patients referred to our institution to undergo a sweat test. Each sample was submitted to coulometric method first, then WynSep-CE, with or without internal standard (IS) subject to sufficient volume sample. Results: A total of 53 samples were analysed by both coulometric and WynSep-CE (using IS) methods. The method validation showed comparable analytical performances for both methods; no false positive or false negative was recorded. The two methods showed a high correlation (r = 0.993, p

Abstract

Sphingolipids comprise a wide variety of molecules containing a sphingoid long-chain base that can be N-acylated. These lipids are particularly abundant in the central nervous system, being membrane components of neurons as well as non-neuronal cells. Direct evidence that these brain lipids play critical functions in brain physiology is illustrated by the dramatic consequences of genetic disturbances of their metabolism. Inherited defects of both synthesis and catabolism of sphingolipids are now identified in humans. These monogenic disorders are due to mutations in the genes encoding for the enzymes that catalyze either the formation or degradation of simple sphingolipids such as ceramides, or complex sphingolipids like glycolipids. They cause varying degrees of central nervous system dysfunction, quite similarly to the neurological disorders induced in mice by gene disruption of the corresponding enzymes. Herein, the enzyme deficiencies and metabolic alterations that underlie these diseases are reviewed. Their possible pathophysiological mechanisms and the functions played by sphingolipids one can deduce from these conditions are discussed. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Brain Lipids.
