Chemical compound and disease context of Sialic Acid Storage Disease

 

Biological context of Sialic Acid Storage Disease

  • Interestingly, while two missense mutations and one small, in-frame deletion associated with ISSD abolished transport, the mutation causing Salla disease (R39C) slowed down, but did not stop, the transport cycle, thus explaining why the latter disorder is less severe [11].
  • The approach was applied to the sialic acid metabolic pathway in human cells, yielding novel mutants with phenotypes related to the inborn metabolic defect sialuria and metastatic tumor cells [14].
  • This represents the first successful prenatal identification of a patient with Salla disease and indicates that both free sialic acid and free/total sialic acid ratio should be monitored in pregnancies at risk for the disease [15].
 

Anatomical context of Sialic Acid Storage Disease

  • Sialic acids cleaved off from degraded sialoglycoconjugates are exported from lysosomes by a membrane transporter, named sialin, which is defective in two allelic inherited diseases: infantile sialic acid storage disease (ISSD) and Salla disease [11].
  • While phase microscopy and immunochemical studies demonstrated abnormal storage within intracellular inclusions in ISSD cells, no morphological evidence of storage within any subcellular organelles was found in the sialuria cells [16].
  • The body fluids of a patient with sialuria contain the same O-acylated and unsaturated N-acetyl neuraminic acid derivatives as mentioned above, but the total amounts of free acylneuraminic acids in these materials are significantly higher than found for normal persons [17].
  • The method has been applied to normal and pathological sera from patients with breast, stomach, colon, ovarian and cervix cancers, to normal urine and urine from patient with sialuria and to normal saliva [18].
