Glc4 is believed to reflect body glycogen content and/or turnover. However, dietary polysaccharide intake may influence Glc4 excretion, potentially limiting the utility of Glc4 as a monitoring biomarker in hepatic GSDs. We aimed to investigate the association of dietary polysaccharide intake with Glc4 excretion. Urinary Glc4 excretion (mmol/mmol creatinine and mmol/24 h) was analyzed using a validated LC-MS/MS method. Data was analyzed from 65 kidney transplant recipients and 58 healthy kidney donors in the TransplantLines cohort study. Spearman's correlation and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed. In the multivariable analysis, dry lean body mass (DLBM), dietary polysaccharide intake, transplantation status, age, sex, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) served as independent variables. Daily variation was examined in 21 healthy individuals of urinary Glc4 excretion in 2-h collections over a 24-h period. Mixed generalized additive models were built to study the association of prior polysaccharide intake with Glc4 excretion. No (univariate) associations were found between polysaccharide intake and Glc4 excretion. However, a significant interaction between DLBM and polysaccharide on 24 h Glc4 excretion was observed in the multivariate analysis. Glc4 excretion throughout the day exhibited no relationship to prior polysaccharide intake. Our findings suggest an indirect effect of polysaccharide intake on Glc4 excretion, potentially due to changes in muscle glycogen content and/or turnover. We have found no evidence that dietary polysaccharides under normal intakes increase urinary Glc4 directly.</p>","PeriodicalId":16281,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142502177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A better understanding of the interactions between heme synthesis and global metabolism would improve the management of AIP patients. An untargeted metabolomic analysis was performed on the urine of 114 patients with overt AIP and asymptomatic carriers using liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry. The collected data were analyzed by combining univariate and multivariate analyses. A total of 239 metabolites were annotated in urine samples by matching chromatographic and mass spectral characteristics with those from our chemical library. Twenty-six metabolites, including porphyrin precursors, intermediates of tryptophan or glycine metabolism and, unexpectedly, bile acids, showed significant concentration differences between the phenotypic groups. Dysregulation of bile acid metabolism was confirmed by targeted quantitative analysis, which revealed an imbalance in favor of hydrophobic bile acids associated with changes in conjugation, which was more pronounced in the severe phenotype. Using a random forest model, the cholic acid/chenodeoxycholic acid ratio enables the differential classification of severe patients from other patients with a diagnostic accuracy of 84%. The analysis of urine samples revealed significant modifications in the metabolome of AIP patients.

DS is a major component of the extracellular matrix of heart valves, which can be affected in MPS II. We investigated the natural history of valve disease in MPS II and the impact of long-term intravenous enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with recombinant I2S (idursulfase). In total, 604 cardiac examinations were assessed from serial follow-up of 80 male patients (49 neuronopathic). Valve disease was classified according to standard practice from hemodynamic features evident from echocardiography. The natural history group comprised 48 patients (up to 14.8 years of follow-up; median, 2.6 years; 24 patients started ERT during the study); 56 patients were treated (up to 14.2 years of follow-up; median, 6.2 years). Lifetime GAG burden (calculated from urinary GAG measurements) correlated significantly with the degree of valve disease. Onset of moderate-to-severe valve disease was significantly delayed in treated (median age at onset, 29.1 ± 2 [95% CI: 25.2-32.9] years; Kaplan-Meier estimation) versus untreated patients (17.6 ± 1 [95% Cl: 15.8-19.4] years; p < 0.0001). Cox regression modeling found that long-term ERT reduced the probability of developing severe valve disease (χ², 32.736; significant after 5 years of ERT).

Mutations in more than 100 genes have been demonstrated to cause LS. The disease most commonly affects brain development and function, resulting in cognitive and motor impairment. The underlying pathogenesis is challenging to ascertain due to the diverse range of symptoms exhibited by affected individuals and the variability in prognosis. To understand the disease mechanisms of different LS-causing mutations and to find a suitable treatment, several different model systems have been developed over the last 30 years. This review summarizes the established disease models of LS and their key findings. Smaller organisms such as yeast have been used to study the biochemical properties of causative mutations. Drosophila melanogaster, Danio rerio, and Caenorhabditis elegans have been used to dissect the pathophysiology of the neurological and motor symptoms of LS. Mammalian models, including the widely used Ndufs4 knockout mouse model of complex I deficiency, have been used to study the developmental, cognitive, and motor functions associated with the disease. Finally, cellular models of LS range from immortalized cell lines and trans-mitochondrial cybrids to more recent model systems such as patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). In particular, iPSCs now allow studying the effects of LS mutations in specialized human cells, including neurons, cardiomyocytes, and even three-dimensional organoids. These latter models open the possibility of developing high-throughput drug screens and personalized treatments based on defined disease characteristics captured in the context of a defined cell type. By analyzing all these different model systems, this review aims to provide an overview of past and present means to elucidate the complex pathology of LS.
