Abstract

Pompe disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency of acid α-glucosidase (GAA), an enzyme responsible for hydrolyzing lysosomal glycogen. Deficiency of GAA leads to systemic glycogen accumulation in the lysosomes of skeletal muscle, motor neurons, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle and motor neuron pathology are known to contribute to respiratory insufficiency in Pompe disease, but the role of airway pathology has not been evaluated. Here we propose that GAA enzyme deficiency disrupts the function of the trachea and bronchi and this lower airway pathology contributes to respiratory insufficiency in Pompe disease. Using an established mouse model of Pompe disease, the mouse, we compared histology, pulmonary mechanics, airway smooth muscle (ASM) function, and calcium signaling between and age-matched wild-type (WT) mice. Lysosomal glycogen accumulation was observed in the smooth muscle of both the bronchi and the trachea in but not WT mice. Furthermore, mice had hyporesponsive airway resistance and bronchial ring contraction to the bronchoconstrictive agents methacholine (MCh) and potassium chloride (KCl) and to a bronchodilator (albuterol). Finally, calcium signaling during bronchiolar smooth muscle contraction was impaired in mice indicating impaired extracellular calcium influx. We conclude that GAA enzyme deficiency leads to glycogen accumulation in the trachea and bronchi and impairs the ability of lower ASM to regulate calcium and respond appropriately to bronchodilator or constrictors. Accordingly, ASM dysfunction may contribute to respiratory impairments in Pompe disease.

摘要

庞贝病是一种常染色体隐性疾病,由酸性α-葡萄糖苷酶(GAA)缺乏引起,GAA是一种负责水解溶酶体糖原的酶。GAA缺乏导致骨骼肌、运动神经元和平滑肌的溶酶体中出现全身性糖原积累。已知骨骼肌和运动神经元病变会导致庞贝病患者出现呼吸功能不全,但气道病变的作用尚未得到评估。在此,我们提出GAA酶缺乏会破坏气管和支气管的功能,这种下气道病变会导致庞贝病患者呼吸功能不全。我们使用已建立的庞贝病小鼠模型(小鼠),比较了其与年龄匹配的野生型(WT)小鼠之间的组织学、肺力学、气道平滑肌(ASM)功能和钙信号传导。在小鼠而非WT小鼠的支气管和气管平滑肌中观察到溶酶体糖原积累。此外,小鼠对支气管收缩剂乙酰甲胆碱(MCh)和氯化钾(KCl)以及支气管扩张剂(沙丁胺醇)的气道阻力和支气管环收缩反应低下。最后,小鼠细支气管平滑肌收缩过程中的钙信号传导受损,表明细胞外钙内流受损。我们得出结论,GAA酶缺乏会导致气管和支气管中糖原积累,并损害下呼吸道ASM调节钙以及对支气管扩张剂或收缩剂做出适当反应的能力。因此,ASM功能障碍可能导致庞贝病患者出现呼吸功能损害。
