Elucidating the toxic effect and disease mechanisms associated with Lyso-Gb3 in Fabry disease

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 2023
Fabry disease stems from a deficiency of alpha-galactosidase and results in the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). However, the production of its deacylated form globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3) is also observed and its plasma levels have ...

Proteomic analysis unveils Gb3-independent alterations and mitochondrial dysfunction in a gla−/− zebrafish model of Fabry disease

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2023
Background Fabry disease (FD) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the GLA gene, resulting in reduced or lack of α-galactosidase A activity.

A Shiga Toxin B-Subunit-Based Lectibody Boosts T Cell Cytotoxicity towards Gb3-Positive Cancer Cells

open access: yesCells, 2023
Aberrant glycosylation plays a crucial role in tumour progression and invasiveness. Tumour-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs) represent a valuable set of targets for immunotherapeutic approaches.

Circulating Anti-GB3 Antibody as a Biomarker of Myocardial Inflammation in Patients with Fabry Disease Cardiomyopathy

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Medicine, 2023
Background: Fabry disease cardiomyopathy (FDCM) has manifested some resistance to enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), particularly in its advanced phase. Recently, myocardial inflammation of autoimmune origin has been demonstrated in FDCM.

Novel lectin-based chimeric antigen receptors target Gb3-positive tumour cells

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2022
The link between cancer and aberrant glycosylation has recently become evident. Glycans and their altered forms, known as tumour-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs), are diverse, complex and difficult to target therapeutically. Lectins are naturally

Lyso-Gb3 associates with adverse long-term outcome in patients with Fabry disease

open access: yesJournal of Medical Genetics, 2021
Background Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the α-galactosidase A gene (GLA) leading to deficiency of α-galactosidase A and ultimately in progressive glycosphingolipid accumulation, especially ...
