Fabry disease is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the galactosidase alpha () gene, resulting in the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and its deacetylated form, globotriaosylsphingosine (Lyso-Gb3) in various tissues and fluids throughout the body. This pathological accumulation triggers a cascade of processes involving immune dysregulation and complement system activation. Elevated levels of complement 3a (C3a), C5a, and their precursor C3 are observed in the plasma, serum, and tissues of patients with Fabry disease, correlating with significant endothelial cell abnormalities and vascular dysfunction. This review elucidates how the complement system, particularly through the activation of C3a and C5a, exacerbates disease pathology. The activation of these pathways leads to the upregulation of adhesion molecules, including vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1), platelet and endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM1), and complement receptor 3 (CR3) on leukocytes and endothelial cells. This upregulation promotes the excessive recruitment of leukocytes, which in turn exacerbates disease pathology. Targeting complement components C3a, C5a, or their respective receptors, C3aR (C3a receptor) and C5aR1 (C5a receptor 1), could potentially reduce inflammation, mitigate tissue damage, and improve clinical outcomes for individuals with Fabry disease.
法布瑞病是一种罕见的 X 连锁溶酶体贮积症,由半乳糖苷酶 α ()基因突变引起,导致糖鞘脂(Gb3)及其去乙酰化形式糖鞘脂神经酰胺(Lyso-Gb3)在全身各种组织和体液中积累。这种病理性积累引发了一系列涉及免疫失调和补体系统激活的过程。法布瑞病患者的血浆、血清和组织中观察到补体 3a(C3a)、C5a 和其前体 C3 水平升高,与内皮细胞明显异常和血管功能障碍相关。本综述阐明了补体系统如何通过 C3a 和 C5a 的激活加剧疾病病理。这些途径的激活导致白细胞和内皮细胞上的黏附分子(包括血管细胞黏附分子 1(VCAM1)、细胞间黏附分子 1(ICAM1)、血小板内皮细胞黏附分子 1(PECAM1)和补体受体 3(CR3))上调。这种上调促进了白细胞的过度募集,进而加剧了疾病的病理过程。靶向补体成分 C3a、C5a 或其各自的受体 C3aR(C3a 受体)和 C5aR1(C5a 受体 1)可能减少炎症、减轻组织损伤并改善法布瑞病患者的临床结局。
