Galactosylceramide beta-galactosidase (cerebrosidase) and nonspecific beta-galactosidase activities were measured in both cultured skin fibroblasts and leucocytes from a family with Krabbe's globoid cell leucodystrophy (GLD). The activities of these enzymes were also determined in cultured skin fibroblasts of a patient with GM1 gangliosidosis and in cultured amniotic fluid cells. While cerebrosidase activity was deficient in GLD fibroblasts and leucocytes, its activity in GM1 gangliosidosis fibroblasts was increased. Two forms of each enzyme were found on isoelectric focusing, but in the GM1 gangliosidosis fibroblasts, cerebrosidase activity occurred as a single but intermediate peak. The use of cultured cells in assessing isoenzyme abnormalities associated with certain neurolipidoses is discussed.
在一个患有克拉伯病(球样细胞脑白质营养不良,GLD)的家族的培养皮肤成纤维细胞和白细胞中,测定了半乳糖基神经酰胺β-半乳糖苷酶(脑苷脂酶)和非特异性β-半乳糖苷酶的活性。还在一名GM1神经节苷脂贮积症患者的培养皮肤成纤维细胞和培养羊水细胞中测定了这些酶的活性。虽然脑苷脂酶活性在GLD成纤维细胞和白细胞中缺乏,但在GM1神经节苷脂贮积症成纤维细胞中其活性增加。在等电聚焦时发现每种酶有两种形式,但在GM1神经节苷脂贮积症成纤维细胞中,脑苷脂酶活性表现为单一的中间峰。讨论了使用培养细胞评估与某些神经脂质贮积症相关的同工酶异常情况。
