Anesthesia outcomes in lysosomal disorders: CLN3 and GM1 gangliosidosis.

ABSTRACT: Natural history studies of pediatric rare neurometabolic diseases are important to understand disease pathophysiology and to inform clinical trial outcome measures. Some data collections require sedation given participants' age and neurocognitive impairment. To evaluate the safety of sedation for research procedures, we reviewed medical records between April 2017 and October 2019 from a natural history study for CLN3 (NCT03307304) and one for GM1 gangliosidosis (NCT00029965). Twenty-two CLN3 individuals underwent 28 anesthetic events (age median 11.0, IQR 8.4-15.3 years). Fifteen GM1 individuals had 19 anesthetic events (9.8, 7.1-14.7). All participants had the American Society of Anesthesiology classification of II (8/47) or III (39/47). Mean sedation durations were 186 (SD = 54; CLN3) and 291 (SD = 33; GM1) min. Individuals with GM1 (6/19, 31%) were more frequently prospectively intubated for sedation (CLN3 3/28, 11%). Minor adverse events associated with sedation occurred in 8/28 (28%, CLN3) and 6/19 (32%, GM1) individuals, frequencies within previously reported ranges. No major adverse clinical outcomes occurred in 47 anesthetic events in pediatric participants with either CLN3 or GM1 gangliosidosis undergoing research procedures. Sedation of pediatric individuals with rare neurometabolic diseases for research procedures is safe and allows for the collection of data integral to furthering their understanding and treatment.

Project description:IntroductionGM1 gangliosidosis is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by the disruption of the GLB1 gene that encodes β-galactosidase, a lysosomal hydrolase that removes β-linked galactose from the non-reducing end of glycans. Deficiency of this catabolic enzyme leads to the lysosomal accumulation of GM1 and its asialo derivative GA1 in β-galactosidase deficient patients and animal models. In addition to GM1 and GA1, there are other glycoconjugates that contain β-linked galactose whose metabolites are substrates for β-galactosidase. For example, a number of N-linked glycan structures that have galactose at their non-reducing end have been shown to accumulate in GM1 gangliosidosis patient tissues and biological fluids.ObjectiveIn this study, we attempt to fully characterize the broad array of GLB1 substrates that require GLB1 for their lysosomal turnover.ResultsUsing tandem mass spectrometry and glycan reductive isotope labeling with data-dependent mass spectrometry, we have confirmed the accumulation of glycolipids (GM1 and GA1) and N-linked glycans with terminal beta-linked galactose. We have also discovered a novel set of core 1 and 2 O-linked glycan metabolites, many of which are part of structurally-related isobaric series that accumulate in disease. In the brain of GLB1 null mice, the levels of these glycan metabolites increased along with those of both GM1 and GA1 as a function of age. In addition to brain tissue, we found elevated levels of both N-linked and O-linked glycan metabolites in a number of peripheral tissues and in urine. Both brain and urine samples from human GM1 gangliosidosis patients exhibited large increases in steady state levels for the same glycan metabolites, demonstrating their correlation with this disease in humans as well.ConclusionsOur studies illustrate that GLB1 deficiency is not purely a ganglioside accumulation disorder, but instead a broad oligosaccharidosis that include representatives of many β-linked galactose containing glycans and glycoconjugates including glycolipids, N-linked glycans, and various O-linked glycans. Accounting for all β-galactosidase substrates that accumulate when this enzyme is deficient increases our understanding of this severe disorder by identifying metabolites that may drive certain aspects of the disease and may also serve as informative disease biomarkers to fully evaluate the efficacy of future therapies.
