Abstract

Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA; Morquio A syndrome) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase, which results in systemic accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), keratan sulfate and chondroitin-6-sulfate. Accumulation of these GAGs causes characteristic features as disproportionate dwarfism associated with skeletal deformities, genu valgum, pigeon chest, joint laxity, and kyphoscoliosis. However, the pathological mechanism of systemic skeletal dysplasia and involvement of other tissues remain unanswered in the paucity of availability of an autopsied case and successive systemic analyses of multiple tissues. We report here a 20-year-old male autopsied case with MPS IVA, who developed characteristic skeletal features by the age of 1.5 years and died of acute respiratory distress syndrome five days later after occipito-C1-C2 cervical fusion. We pathohistologically analyzed postmortem tissues including trachea, lung, thyroid, humerus, aorta, heart, liver, spleen, kidney, testes, bone marrow, and lumbar vertebrae. The postmortem tissues relevant with clinical findings demonstrated 1) systemic storage materials in multiple tissues beyond cartilage, 2) severely vacuolated and ballooned chondrocytes in trachea, humerus, vertebrae, and thyroid cartilage with disorganized extracellular matrix and poor ossification, 3) appearance of foam cells and macrophages in lung, aorta, heart valves, heart muscle, trachea, visceral organs, and bone marrow, and 4) storage of chondrotin-6-sulfate in aorta. This is the first autopsied case with MPS IVA whose multiple tissues have been analyzed pathohistologically and these pathological findings should provide a new insight into pathogenesis of MPS IVA.

摘要

黏多糖贮积症 IVA(MPS IVA;Morquio A 综合征)是一种溶酶体贮积病,由 N-乙酰半乳糖胺-6-硫酸酯酶缺乏引起,导致糖胺聚糖(GAGs)、硫酸角质素和软骨素-6-硫酸的全身积累。这些 GAG 的积累导致特征性的不成比例的侏儒症,伴有骨骼畸形、膝外翻、鸡胸、关节松弛和脊柱侧凸。然而,由于缺乏尸检病例和对多个组织进行连续系统分析,全身性骨骼发育不良的病理机制和其他组织的参与仍未得到解答。我们在此报告一例 20 岁男性 MPS IVA 尸检病例,他在 1.5 岁时出现典型的骨骼特征,并在枕颈 C1-C2 融合后五天死于急性呼吸窘迫综合征。我们对包括气管、肺、甲状腺、肱骨、主动脉、心脏、肝脏、脾脏、肾脏、睾丸、骨髓和腰椎在内的尸检组织进行了病理组织学分析。与临床发现相关的尸检组织显示:1)多个组织中存在全身性储存物质,超出软骨范围;2)气管、肱骨、椎体和甲状软骨中的软骨细胞严重空泡化和气球样变,细胞外基质紊乱,骨化不良;3)肺、主动脉、心瓣膜、心肌、气管、内脏器官和骨髓中出现泡沫细胞和巨噬细胞;4)主动脉中存在软骨素-6-硫酸。这是首例经过病理组织学分析的 MPS IVA 尸检病例,这些病理发现应该为 MPS IVA 的发病机制提供新的见解。
