Replacement Therapy for Inherited Enzyme Deficiency — Macrophage-Targeted Glucocerebrosidase for Gaucher's Disease

Abstract: Intravenous administration of macrophage-targeted glucocerebrosidase produces objective clinical improvement in patients with type 1 Gaucher's disease. The hematologic and visceral responses to enzyme replacement develop more rapidly than the skeletal response.

“…However, in other lipid storage disorders such as Gaucher's disease low amounts of substituted enzyme are sufficient to reverse glucocerebroside storage, and upon BMT in mice with Sandhoff's disease the amount of gangliosides in the liver was substantially reduced although only 40% of normal ␤-hexosaminidase activity was reached in this organ. 19,20 Thus, compared with other lipid storage diseases stored sulfatide or ASA may have particular properties requiring comparatively large amounts of enzyme for amelioration of storage. The lysosomal deposition of sulfatide is paralleled by an enrichment of this sphingolipid in the cytoplasmic membrane and such membranes display physicochemical characteristics distinct from normal membranes.…”

“…[2] This disorder is characterized by an enlarged liver and spleen, anemia, painful bone lesions and in some cases neurological damage. The standard treatment for individuals with GCase deficiencies involves either enzyme replacement therapy with imiglucerase (Cerezyme, Genzyme Corp.) [3] or less frequently, substrate reduction therapy with mi-glustat (Zavesca, Actelion Ltd.). [4,5] Recently a third therapeutic approach, enzyme enhancement therapy (EET), utilizing small molecule pharmacological chaperone (PC) has been proposed.…”
