Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 (PAPP-A2) is a metalloproteinase that specifically cleaves IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-5. Mutations in the PAPP-A2 gene have recently been shown to cause postnatal growth failure in humans, with specific skeletal features, due to the resulting decrease in IGF-1 bioavailability. However, a pharmacological treatment of this entity is yet to be established.
A 10.5-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy, siblings from a Spanish family, with short stature due to a homozygous loss-of-function mutation in the PAPP-A2 gene (p.D643fs25*) and undetectable PAPP-A2 activity, were treated with progressive doses (40, 80, 100, and 120 μg/kg) of recombinant human IGF-1 (rhIGF-1) twice daily for 1 year. There was a clear increase in growth velocity and height in both siblings. Bioactive IGF-1 was increased, and spontaneous GH secretion was diminished after acute administration of rhIGF-1, whereas serum total IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels remained elevated. No episodes of hypoglycemia or any other secondary effects were observed during treatment.
Short-term treatment with rhIGF-1 improves growth in patients with PAPP-A2 deficiency.
妊娠相关血浆蛋白-A2(PAPP-A2)是一种金属蛋白酶,可特异性切割胰岛素样生长因子结合蛋白-3(IGFBP-3)和胰岛素样生长因子结合蛋白-5(IGFBP-5)。最近研究表明,PAPP-A2基因突变会导致人类出生后生长发育迟缓,并伴有特定的骨骼特征,这是由于IGF-1生物利用度降低所致。然而,针对该疾病的药物治疗方法尚未确立。
一名10.5岁女孩和一名6岁男孩为西班牙家庭的兄妹,因PAPP-A2基因纯合功能缺失突变(p.D643fs25*)导致身材矮小,且PAPP-A2活性检测不到。他们每天两次接受递增剂量(40、80、100和120μg/kg)的重组人生长激素(rhIGF-1)治疗,持续1年。兄妹俩的生长速度和身高均明显增加。急性给予rhIGF-1后,生物活性IGF-1增加,自发性生长激素分泌减少,而血清总IGF-1和IGFBP-3水平仍保持升高。治疗期间未观察到低血糖发作或任何其他副作用。
rhIGF-1短期治疗可改善PAPP-A2缺乏患者的生长情况。
