Abstract:
:This study explores the biochemical basis that may distinguish neurologic and nonneurologic forms of Gaucher's disease. Crude membrane preparations from spleens of controls and patients representing the three clinical categories of Gaucher's disease were delipidated by extraction with sodium cholate and n-butanol. Total beta-glucosidase activity was estimated using 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (MUG) as substrate, and glucocerebrosidase activity was determined using (3H)-glucocerebroside. beta-Glucosidase and glucocerebrosidase activities were reconstituted by inclusion of sodium taurocholate or phosphatidylserine in the assay medium. When assays contained phosphatidylserine, residual beta-glucosidase activity in delipidated spleen preparations from type 1, nonneurologic cases were five times greater than cases of neurologic Gaucher's disease (82.3 vs. 11.3 units per mg protein). However, beta-glucosidase assays using sodium taurocholate did not discriminate Gaucher's disease subtypes. Similar results were obtained when spleen preparations were analyzed for glucocerebrosidase using glucocerebroside as the substrate. Brain beta-glucosidase from patients representing the three classes of Gaucher's disease showed a similar pattern of sensitivity toward phosphatidylserine. The specific activity of beta-glucosidase in an extract of brain from the one case of type 1 Gaucher's disease analyzed was five times greater than the mean residual specific activity of brain beta-glucosidase measured in five cases of type 2 and type 3 Gaucher's disease. These findings suggest that, in patients with type 1 Gaucher's disease, glucocerebrosidase may show greater activity in the presence of acidic phospholipids than glucocerebrosidase does in patients with neurologic forms of the disease. The ability of the brain enzyme from a type 1 case to be profoundly stimulated by an acidic phospholipid may explain why such individuals are spared central nervous system involvement.
