Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (MPS IVA, Morquio A syndrome) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by skeletal dysplasia due to deficient N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase activity, resulting in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) accumulation. Identifying accurate biomarkers reflecting clinical severity and therapeutic response remains challenging. This study evaluated potential surrogate biomarkers, including N-terminal pro-C-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proCNP), collagen types I and II, mono-sulfated keratan sulfate (KS), di-sulfated KS, and chondroitin-6-sulfate (C6S), in blood and urine samples from 60 patients ranging from 1 to 62 years of age. NT-proCNP levels were significantly elevated in patients of all ages and negatively correlated with growth impairment, especially after 8 years of age. Collagen type I levels significantly increased in adult patients, whereas collagen type II showed age-dependent elevations. Urinary KS, in mono- and di-sulfated forms, demonstrated moderate negative correlations with growth impairment. Moreover, NT-proCNP, mono- and di-sulfated KS in plasma, and urinary di-sulfated KS were not affected by enzyme replacement therapy in patients younger than 12 years, unlike urinary mono-sulfated KS. In conclusion, NT-proCNP has emerged as a promising independent biomarker reflecting the severity of skeletal dysplasia and possibly the near-future growth rate. These findings highlight the potential role of NT-proCNP in clinical assessment and monitoring therapeutic efficacy, addressing current unmet needs in MPS IVA management.
IVA型黏多糖贮积症(MPS IVA,莫尔基奥A综合征)是一种罕见的遗传性疾病,其特征是由于N-乙酰半乳糖胺-6-硫酸酯硫酸酯酶活性不足导致骨骼发育异常,从而引起糖胺聚糖(GAG)蓄积。确定反映临床严重程度和治疗反应的准确生物标志物仍然具有挑战性。本研究评估了60例年龄在1至62岁之间患者的血液和尿液样本中的潜在替代生物标志物,包括N端前C型利钠肽(NT-proCNP)、I型和II型胶原蛋白、单硫酸化硫酸角质素(KS)、双硫酸化KS和硫酸软骨素-6-硫酸酯(C6S)。NT-proCNP水平在所有年龄段的患者中均显著升高,且与生长发育障碍呈负相关,尤其是在8岁以后。I型胶原蛋白水平在成年患者中显著升高,而II型胶原蛋白则呈现出年龄依赖性升高。尿液中的单硫酸化和双硫酸化KS与生长发育障碍呈中度负相关。此外,与尿液中的单硫酸化KS不同,12岁以下患者的NT-proCNP、血浆中的单硫酸化和双硫酸化KS以及尿液中的双硫酸化KS不受酶替代疗法的影响。总之,NT-proCNP已成为一种有前景的独立生物标志物,可反映骨骼发育异常的严重程度以及可能的近期生长速度。这些发现突出了NT-proCNP在临床评估和监测治疗效果中的潜在作用,满足了目前MPS IVA管理中未满足的需求。
