Adult forms of glycogenosis type II

Abstract: The activity of acid α‐glucosidase in cultured fibroblasts from adult patients with the lysosomal storage disease glycogenosis type II is only 10% of normal. A normal activity per molecule is found for the mature as well as for the precursor form of acid α‐glucosidase in adult mutant fibroblasts. Excessive lysosomal breakdown of mature enzyme purified from mutant fibroblasts and taken up by acceptor cells does not occur. However, the NH4Cl‐stimulated secretion of a precursor form of acid α‐glucosidase by adult… Show more

“…Analogous results have been described in [19]; fibroblasts were cultured in the presence of NH&l and measured acid cu-glucosidase activity in the medium; the rate of appearance of the activity in the medium in mutant fibroblasts was -10% of that in control fibroblasts. The reduced secretion of newly synthesized aglucosidase in adult Pompe fibroblasts was not due to retention of the enzyme in the cells; in the presence of 10 mM NH&l, the same proportion of newly synthesized a-gluosidase (-50070) was found intracellularly in control fibroblasts (see also [l 11) as in adult Pompe fibroblasts.…”

“…The stability of acid a-glucosidase in lysosomes has been estimated by allowing purified enzyme to be endocytosed by fibroblasts from patients with the infantile form of Pompe's disease and monitoring the enzyme activity in the cells [ 191. aGlucosidase purified from fibroblasts from patients with the late-onset form of Pompe's disease had about the same half-life as that from secretions of control fibroblasts [19].…”

“…Enzyme deficiency leads to glycogenosis type II, an inherited glycogen-storage disorder (Hers, 1963). Several patients have been described with a defect in the synthesis or post-translational processing of lysosomal a-glucosidase (Reuser and Kroos, 1982;Beratis et al, 1983;Reuser et al, 1985Reuser et al, , 1987Martiniuk et al, 1986Martiniuk et al, , 1990aVan der Ploeg et al, 1989;Hermans et al, 1991a;Zhong et al, 1991).…”

“…Apart from clinical heterogeneity, there is also a high degree of biochemical and molecular heterogeneity. A multitude of mutant alleles has been suspected from the molecular abnormalities of the lysosomal a-glucosidase species in cultured fibroblasts and muscle cells from several patients (Reuser et al, 1978(Reuser et al, , 1985(Reuser et al, , 1987Beratis et al, 1978Beratis et al, , 1983; Reuser and Kroos, 1982;Van der Ploeg et al, 1989;Hoefsloot et al, 1990a). Genetic heterogeneity has been demonstrated more directly by Southernand Northern-blot analysis (Martiniuk et al, 1986(Martiniuk et al, , 1990aHoefsloot et al, 1988;Reuser et al, 1988).…”
