概括
粘多糖症 (MPS) 查可以使用液态染色体质谱法 (LC-MS) 进行改进,以分析特定的葡萄糖氨基酸糖 (GAG). 这种方法提高了MPS类型的诊断准确性,并将其与尿路感染 (UTI) 区分开来.
科学领域:
- 生物化学 生物化学
- 医学诊断 医学诊断 医学诊断
- 代谢障碍 代谢障碍 代谢障碍
背景情况:
- 目前的粘多糖症 (MPS) 查依赖于1,9-二甲基乙烯蓝色 (DMB) 光度测定总糖氨基 (GAG) 的测定,该测试存在不准确性,包括错误阳性和负性.
- 差异化GAG分析,传统上通过凝电泳和最近通过LC-MS,提供了更高的特异性.
- 在尿路感染 (UTI) 中观察到二次GAG升高,可能会混MPS诊断.
研究的目的:
- 为了评估尿液GAG测量的诊断准确性,LC-MS用于MPS类型.
- 为特定的GAG (CS,DS,HS,KS) 和它们的比率建立年龄相关的参考值和截止值.
- 评估尿路感染对GAG测量的影响及其错误分类的可能性.
主要方法:
- 在68名未经治疗的MPS/ML患者,183名对照患者和153名尿道感染样本中,对尿道GAG (ondroitin硫酸盐,dermatan硫酸盐,heparan硫酸盐,keratan硫酸盐) 的定量LC-MS分析.
- 计算特定的GAG比率 (例如HS/DS,KS/HS) 并将GAG度与肌素的正常化.
- 将LC-MS结果与DMB测定结果进行比较,并注意到假负结果.
主要成果:
- HS/DS比率与肌素正常化GAG度相结合,提高了MPS类型I,II,VI和VII的诊断准确性,正确重新分类了15个样本.
- 增加的KS/HS比率和升高的KS水平增加了对MPS类型IV的歧视,不包括假阳性.
- 尿路检查样本显示高的特定GAG (主要是CS) 和KS/HS比率,造成错误分类为MPS类型IV的风险.
- 该DMB测定显示了94%的灵敏度,在MPS/ML患者中确定了四个虚假阴性.
结论:
- 特定的GAG比率,当与定量LC-MSGAG值一起使用时,显著改善了MPS类型的歧视.
- 排除尿路感染患者可以提高诊断准确度,特别是MPS类型IV,但对其他MPS类型的影响较小.
- 与传统的DMB测定相比,LC-MS为MPS类型提供了更准确的方法.

Glycosaminoglycans
4.8K
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), also known as mucopolysaccharides, are long and linear polymers comprising of specific repeating disaccharides - the amino sugar that can be N-acetylglucosamine or N-acetylgalactosamine, and a uronic acid that is usually glucuronic acid or iduronic acid.
GAGS are found in the extracellular matrix of vertebrates, invertebrates, and bacteria. Due to their polar nature they attract water, and serve as excellent lubricants or shock absorbers in an animal body.

Proteoglycans

Glycans, a class of complex heterogeneous molecules, can be covalently attached to proteins to form glycosylated proteins that regulate various physiological and pathological processes. Glycosylated proteins or glycoproteins comprise N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides. O-glycosylation is the most common type of protein glycosylation. Here, glycans attach to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl groups of Serine or Threonine residues. O-linked glycosylation occurs later in protein processing,...

Oligosaccharide Assembly
2.8K
Protein glycosylation starts in the ER lumen and continues in the Golgi apparatus. Glycosyltransferases catalyze the addition of sugar molecules or glycosylation of proteins. Usually, these enzymes add sugars to the hydroxyl groups of selected serine or threonine residues to form O-linked glycans or the amino groups of asparagine residues to form N-linked glycans. Different positions on the same polypeptide chain can contain differently linked glycans.
