Glycosphingolipid Storage in Fabry Mice Extends Beyond Globotriaosylceramide and is Affected by ABCB1 Depletion

Abstract: Aim:Fabry disease is caused by α-galactosidase A deficiency leading to accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) in tissues. Clinical manifestations do not appear to correlate with total Gb3 levels. Studies examining tissue distribution of specific acyl chain species of Gb3 and upstream glycosphingolipids are lacking.Material & methods/Results:Thorough characterization of the Fabry mouse sphingolipid profile by LC-MS revealed unique Gb3 acyl chain storage profiles. Storage extended beyond Gb3; all Fabry tiss… Show more

“…Furthermore, there were some differences between Fabry disease and age-related CSVD: in Fabry disease, it was dominated by glycosphingolipid changes, while in age-related CSVD ceramide changes were more prominent. Our study showed there were not statistically significant differences of ceramides in Fabry disease compared with control, consistent with previous reports [39,40]. It is currently believed that the vascular involvement of Fabry disease is related to the deposition of glycosphingolipids in endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells, probably due to induction of oxidative stress [41,42].…”

“…It has been shown different trihexosylceramides are deposited in different organs, leading to different pathophysiological changes. Levels of dihexosylceramides varied in our study, consistent with previous reports [39]. More research are still needed in the future to help us understand properties of different glycosphingolipids and their mechanism of regulation.…”

“…Mouse mdr1a/b knockdown results in decreased GSL levels in skin fibroblasts, but brain GSLs are unaltered ( 100 ), further indicating a cell-type-dependent role of ABCB1 in GSL synthesis. In cross-breeding of Fabry and ABCB1 knockout mice, we found that only the heart and spleen showed reduced GlcCer, whereas LacCer was generally elevated in these tissues and Gb 3 was not affected ( 101 ). It has been argued that lack of a clear phenotype for MDR knockout mice is not consistent with a physiological function ( 102 ); however, we show in this study that there is a marked overlap and redundancy for ABC proteins in GSL biosynthesis, possibly as GlcCer flippases.…”

“…Another difficulty in the pathogenesis studies of Fabry disease is the lack of appropriate experimental models, in which the effect of storage compounds on the disease phenotype can be investigated. Kamani et al robustly characterized GSLs in Fabry mice vs. WT mice, and demonstrated differential accumulation of Gb 3 species in Fabry mouse tissues, and a unique fold-change of Gb 3 in each tissue in Fabry mice relative to WT (18). However, because all the Gb 3 isoforms are increased in Fabry mice compared to WT controls, it remains unclear which Gb 3 species are responsible for the disease.…”
