Alteration of the Pulmonary Surfactant System in Full-Term Infants with Hereditary ABCA3 Deficiency

Abstract: Our data provide evidence that ABCA3 mutations are associated not only with a deficiency of ABCA3 but also with an abnormal processing and routing of SP-B and SP-C, leading to severe alterations of surfactant homeostasis and respiratory distress syndrome. To identify infants with hereditary ABCA3 deficiency, we suggest a combined diagnostic approach including immunohistochemical, ultrastructural, and mutation analysis.

“…Exogenous expression of ABCA3 in cultured cells promotes lipid uptake into intracellular vesicles that generate lamellar body-like vesicles (7,18,21). ABCA3 deficiency in human and mice leads to decreased phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol in surfactant, dysgenesis of lamellar bodies, and respiratory distress (1,3,8,11,12,27). Considered together, these results indicate that ABCA3 is an essential lipid transporter in surfactant metabolism.…”

“…ABCA1, the best studied of the proteins, is causally linked to Tangier disease and is associated with defective phospholipid and cholesterol transport from intracellular lipid stores to the major amphipathic helical apoprotein of high density lipoprotein, apolipoprotein A-1 (8 -11). ABCA3 mutations cause a form of neonatal respiratory failure that arises from a failure to transport pulmonary phospholipids comprising surfactant from their storage site in the lamellar bodies of alveolar type II cells to the alveolar space (12)(13)(14). This transport process, like the one involving ABCA1, appears to depend on the lipidation of an acceptor amphipathic helical protein, surfactant protein B (15, 16).…”
