Overview of sphingolipidosis (Lipid storage Diseases)


he sphingolipidosis (lipid storage diseases) are a group of inherited diseases that are caused by a genetic defect in the catabolism of lipids containing sphingosine. They are part of a larger group of lysosomal disorders and exhibit several constant features:
(1) Complex lipids containing ceramide accumulate in cells, particularly neurons, causing neuro degeneration and shortening the life span.
(2) The rate of synthesis of the stored lipid is normal.
(3) The enzymatic defect is in the lysosomal degradation pathway of sphingolipids.
(4) The extent to which the activity of the affected enzyme is decreased is similar in all tissues.
There is no effective treatment for many of the diseases, although some success has been achieved with enzyme replacement therapy and bone marrow transplantation in the treatment of Gaucher’s and Fabry’s diseases. Other promising approaches are substrate deprivation therapy to inhibit the synthesis of sphingolipids and chemical chaperone therapy. Gene therapy for lysosomal disorders is also currently under investigation.

DiseaseEnzyme DeficiencyLipid AccumulatingClinical Symptoms
Tay Sach’s DiseaseHexosaminidase AGM2 GangliosideMental retardation, blindness, muscular weakness
Fabry’s diseaseα-GalactosidaseGlobotriaosylceramideSkin rash, kidney failure (full symptoms only in males; X-linked recessive).
Metachromatic leukodystrophyArylsulfatase ASulfogalactosylceramideMental retardation and Psychologic disturbances in adults; demyelination.
Krabbe’s diseaseβ-GalactosidaseGalactosylceramideMental retardation; myelin almost absent.
Gaucher’s diseaseβ -GlycosidaseGlucosyl ceramideEnlarged liver and spleen, erosion of long bones, mental retardation in infants.
Niemann-Pick diseaseSphingomyelinase SphigomyelinEnlarged liver and spleen, mental retardation; fatal in early life.
Farber’s diseaseCeramidaseCeramideHoarseness, dermatitis, skeletal deformation, mental retardation; fatal in early life

Hyperlipoproteinemia



 A) Primary Hyperlipoproteinemia
TYPECLASSIFICATIONBIOCHEMICAL DEFECTINHERITANCEPLASMA LIPIDS AND LIPOPROTEINSCLINICAL FEATURES
I.Familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency(Hyperchylomicronemia)Deficiency of lipoprotein lipase. A variant of this diseases can be produced by deficiency of apo CII.Autosomal recessiveTG↑, cholesterol may also be increased, Chylomicrons ++, VLDL↑, HDL and LDL ↓.Refrigeration test confirms the presence of chylomicrons in serumPresent in early childhood, Eruptive xanthomas, Recurrent abdominal pain, no premature cardiovascular disease
II.Familial Hypercholesterolemia(FHC)No enzyme deficiency but there is increased synthesis of apo- B protein and there is impaired degradation of LDLAutosomal dominantLDL ↑, total cholesterol ↑, VLDL  and TG are also raisedXanthomas, corneal arcus, increased risk of premature Cardiovascular disease.
III.Familial Dysbeta lipoproteinemiaAlso called- Broad beta disease , ‘Remnant removal disease”Increase concentration of apo-E, increased synthesis of Apo B, conversion of normal VLDL to IDL and its degradation without conversion to LDL. Defect in Remnant removal.Autosomal dominantLDL↑, VLDL↑, actual rise in IDL which appears as Broad beta band on electrophoresis. TG↑, cholesterol may also be increased.Tuberous and Palmar xanthomas, increased risk of premature Cardiovascular disease and peripheral vascular disease.
IV.Familial Hypertriglyceridemia(FHTG)Increased synthesis  and decreased catabolism of endogenous TGsAutosomal dominantHyper pre beta lipoproteinemia VLDL↑, TG and cholesterol also↑, α and β-lipoproteins are subnormal (HDL↓ and LDL↓). There is associated impaired Glucose TolerancePresents in early childhood, and is commonly associated with CHD, Diabetes Mellitus, Alcoholism and  obesity
V.Combined HyperlipidemiaUsually secondary to other disorders like obesity, excessive alcohol intake, renal failure and pancreatitis etc. Exact biochemical defect is not knownAutosomal dominantComplex lipoprotein pattern, Increase in both chylomicrons and pre β-lipoproteins (VLDL), TG and cholesterol also↑↑, α and β-lipoproteins are subnormal (HDL↓ and LDL↓).Xanthomas are frequently present impaired glucose tolerance, frequently found associated with CHD, Diabetes Mellitus, Alcoholism and  obesity

Hypolipoproteinemia
DiseaseBiochemical defectInheritanceLaboratory findingsClinical manifestations
Familial HypobetalipoproteinemiaInability to synthesize ApoB100 and Apo-B48Autosomal dominantLDL between 10 to 50 % of normal, Cholesterol low but Triglycerides and Chylomicrons normal.Mostly asymptomatic, but there is decreased risk of CHD
AbetalipoproteinemiaNo synthesis or secretion  of Apo B containing lipoproteinsRare inherited diseaseVLDL↓, LDL↓↓, B-100↓, B-48↓, decrease in TG and a marked ↓in Serum total cholesterol, prolonged prothrombin time.Malabsorption, mental and physical retardation, acanthocytosis, Atypical retinitis pigmentosa, fatty infiltration of intestinal mucosal cells and liver.
HypoalphalipoproteinemiaNot knownAutosomal dominantHDL↓, Cholesterol and TGs normalIncreased risk of CHD
Familial Alpha lipoprotein deficiency(Tangier’s disease)Deficiency of alpha lipoprotein. Cholesteryl esters are deposited in the reticulo endothelial system, but functions of major organs are not affectedAutosomal recessiveLow or absent HDL, Lack of Alpha band on electrophoresis.Orange yellow tonsils and adenoids, muscle weakness, atrophy, recurrent peripheral neuropathies and depressed tendon reflexes. The pharyngeal and rectal mucosa is also orange colored.(The orange color is due to deposition of cholesteryl esters.) There is increased predisposition to Atherosclerosis.

Regulatory Mechanisms- Lipid Metabolism

Enzyme
Pathway
Effect of substrate concentration
Allosteric Modification/ Fed back Inhibition
Induction/ Repression
Clinical Significance
Acetyl co A Carboxylase
Fatty acid synthesis
Activity increases during well fed state
Activity decrease during fasting
Activator-
Citrate,
ATP
Acetyl co A
Insulin-by causing de phosphorylation by stimulating protein phosphatase
Inhibitors-
Long chain fatty acids, Epinephrine, Glucagon- via changes in phosphorylation state through c AMP mediated phosphorylation cascade
Induced byInsulin

Repressed byGlucagon
Activity decreases in diabetes Mellitus
Carnitine Acyl Transferase
Carnitine shuttle
Activity low in fed state, high during fasting
Activated byGlucagon through lipolysis and provision of fatty acids for oxidation

Inhibited by insulin and malonyl co A

Inherited CAT-I deficiencyaffects only the liver, resulting in reduced fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis, with hypoglycemia.
HMG co A Reductase
Cholesterol synthesis
Activity low in fasting state,
Activated by Insulin, Thyroid hormone

Inhibited by –Glucagon, Glucocorticoids,(By reversible phosphorylation)
Dietary cholesterol (Hepatic synthesis)
Mevalonate and cholesterol ,the products of pathway

Expression of HMG COA reductase is regulated by sterol regulatory element binding protein
Also induced by Insulin
Activity high in Diabetes mellitus die to availability of excess Acetyl co A.

Activity inhibited by Statins used as cholesterol lowering drugs.
